HOPE AND MURDER

(WRITTEN 8/25/12)
FYI---I must warn you this blog is very blue in nature.

Has humanity reached the point when one has no hope left than cold-blooded murder as the only solution? A recourse without any other options? In the last four weeks, there has been a mass shooting each week. The last one was yesterday at the Empire State building where two people were killed and nine where wounded. The world appears more evil, more anxious, more violent, more hopeless, and without direction than I have ever witnessed. This is sad to me and it scares me.

I view the world through Biblical eyes and remember Jesus Christ speaking about the last days before the Second Coming and the verse from Matthew 24:12 And because of the increase of lawlessness, the love of many will grow cold. (NRSV) I see a lot of cold hearts nowadays. I see America and it's government turning from faith in the living God of the Holy Bible. Christ brings hope and Christ brings peace to those who are willing to let Him into their life.

I feel like Jeremiah the Prophet of the Old Testament who was known as the "Weeping Prophet" because he was so deeply sorrowful for the fallen condition of Judah. I feel deeply sorrowful over the fallen condition of America. We are now a people who are so restless and without guidance. American people are tired physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually from trying to serve two masters, themselves and living life without Christ and respect and knowledge of the Holy Bible. American people have no hope and when there is no hope there is no rational thinking but anger and rage build up to where one thinks they have nothing left to lose. This is the point where they take that lost hope and rage out on innocent people.

My simple answer is that this country needs to turn back to a Christian foundation that the Founding Fathers put down. My simple answer is to bring back prayer in public schools. My simple answer is to hang the Ten Commandments back up in the public schools and courthouses. My simple answer is for people to put their faith in Jesus Christ as the true living God and author of salvation. My simple answer is to learn and follow the wisdom in the Holy Bible. My simple answer is to pray for this country and yourself to choose this day whom you will serve...

My simple answer is not simple if people are not willing to listen and then willing to change. So maybe a bulletproof vest should be your next purchase...

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

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

ELECTION YEAR 2024! OH BOY!

Yes, folks, it is an election year and of course, both parties believe they are going to save the world. Sorry, but Jesus Christ already did that some 2000 years ago. Now the other fun fact about this is every election year it is a Chicken Little story all over again, which is the sky is falling if the Republicans get into office, and the sky is falling if the Democrats get into office. This reminds me of how news on the weather is nowadays. There will be one inch of snow coming which is the great white death from above so stock up on everything. The exaggeration from political parties and the news is absolutely off the charts in this day and age. Gone are the Walter Cronkite and Tom Brokaw days of newscasting.   Social media can be used for good and even to spread the gospel message but also it can perpetuate lies and deceit. I hope it is used more responsibly than what I have been witnessing.  So back to politics and voting, I would say do your best to try and find reliable informati
