A VOICE FOR JESUS THE CHRIST

We all have different ways to communicate in this world and my best way is writing. Writing allows me to clearly articulate my thoughts and feelings and the way I see life. Will I ever be a famous author, columnist, or blogger I do not know but I do hope I can at least reach a few people with my craft as a wordsmith. I have wondered the last few weeks to myself, "Do I really have anything to say that has not been said?" Yet I have this burning inside that I must still write and some belief that I must be heard. Now is this ego or narcissism or simply a desire to try and make the world better by sharing what feels like inspiration from Heaven to share on planet earth? Write and write I must and in so doing I hope to bless you the reader. Thank you for taking your time to read my posts.

I have been thinking about the shooting in Charleston, South Carolina at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church and how sad and tragic that a human being can become so disconnected to the sanctity of life. Where did this hate come from and why was he on psychotropic drugs? Taking away guns will not stop a person like this because they will just find another means to kill or get a black market gun. The death penalty will come into play here and that brings up the other issue of proper justice for the crime involved. Do we say we will kill you because you are not to kill? Can a person like this be redeemable? Are we all getting numb to this kind of crime because it is happening more frequently?

I have always believed that coming to Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and learning His ways of living in this world is the only and final answer to this fallen world. I know to some this is far too simple an answer to the evil in this world. But it is an answer that I have seen many many times over that has worked healing and reconciliation in peoples lives and various communities. Allowing Jesus into your life and then committing to pray and study the Holy Bible consistently one can truly live as a follower of Jesus as the Holy Spirit takes over one's life for the better. Finding a Christ-centered church to help you live out a strong faith in a community can be a joyous life-giving boost to your life in Jesus.

John the Baptist was a man crying out in the wilderness that the world needed to repent of their sins and accept Yahweh's Savior which was Jesus the Christ and many thought he was a crazy man. I believe my voice is to be a voice crying out in cyberspace directed by Jesus to cry out to the world, how badly the world needs Jesus Christ... some will even think I am crazy too.

POISONING THE FRUITS OF THE HOLY BIBLE

The Holy Bible has many beautiful truths within its pages and the most wonderful story in the world of how a loving and gracious God came from Heaven to Earth to save us from sin and ourselves. What I have seen that saddens my heart is when men and women distort the Bible's precious truths. Sometimes they play mental gymnastics with a rubicon of verses to put together their own view of a topic and make the Bible appear to support their side. Both the liberal and conservative Christians do it and even those who are not even believers play this game. People who want all answers to life and faith but only from the Bible are some of the most toxic and unhappy people I know. Where is their Christlike love? Jesus dealt with this kind of mindset in his mortal time on earth and they were called Pharisees. We must be willing to take the Bible as it is written and what the writers led by the Holy Spirit meant. We must be authentic and transparent. Some things in the Bible are uncomfortabl

CATHOLIC TENDENCIES

Ever since I was introduced to the Catholic Church I have been fascinated by this body of the Christian faith. One thing that has stuck with me that I admire is the unashamed strength to stand up for what they believe and back it up with The Three Pillars of the Church. Now for those who do not know The Three Pillars, they are number one, Sacred Scripture which comprises the Old Testament and New Testament in a total of seventy-three books. Next is the Apostolic Tradition which is the Living Tradition and the liturgies. Thirdly, The Living Magisterium which is the teaching authority of the Pope in Communion with the Bishops. So what brought this topic up for me is listening to a podcast by Fr. Mike Schmitz denouncing the opening in France of the Olympics when blasphemy was committed by mocking The Last Supper of Jesus Christ. I know some of you are thinking this is already old news. At the time, so many wrote and talked about it that I felt it would be overkill if I wrote about it. I

WHAT VOICES ARE YOU LISTENING TO?

Since the internet entered our homes and social media dominates the culture of the world we as a human race have rapidly lost our humanity in many ways. People are so vicious to one another and it is so sad to see how narcissistic we have become as a species. I am often balancing what I read and what I listen to so I do not become toxic and filled with false understandings and beliefs. So it is very important to consider just what voices you are listening to and what voices are you reading. What is the mindset of the people, shows, and music you are allowing into your life? We need to be more alert to not allowing trash into our minds, ears, and eyes. Let us not become a landfill for society's useless trash. If you let garbage in soon it will be garbage out. What is most in your heart will eventually come out the mouth both spoken and written. Matthew 15:18-20
