GOOD TIMES EH?

I would like to propose an answer to some of todays economic problems. I will be happy to assist any of you in obtaining a savings plan or reality check. Especially when it comes to saving money on useless nothing, and encouraging you to live a life worthy of why God made you. For those of you who look high and low in a world of darkness and hurt for places to go "have a good time," that will leave you disoriented, wanting to yack your guts out with nausia, headache, and room spinning mindlessness. Dropping all kinds of money just for that couple of quality hours in the wasteland. I would be happy to assist you in obtaining that experience or feeling for only half the price of the local bars or social clubs. Swinging 2x4's upside the head a few times, maybe a punch or two to the guts, and a few buckets of ice water would create the same effects, but most likely would be a lot less harmful to your body and your wallet ---than gulping poison until you can't see straight...

WRAP IT UP

“…The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.” Ecclesiastes 911 So why is it that we scurry about the entirety of our few minutes here on this earth seeking favor and approval and position? Attempting to meet a long list of obligations and expectations that never seem to be satisfied no matter how much we busy ourselves. Working out, studying hard, eating right, investing wisely, and somehow time and chance happens to us all? Why? That’s a good question. No matter how we have started out this year, regardless of what has happened along the way, despite the turns and falls and outright mistakes. If you have fallen, get back up. Though a righteous man may fall seven times he gets back up. God gives power to the weak; and to them that have no might he increases strength. There is great mercy and forgiveness with God. All His paths are mercy and truth to ...

THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM

The FEAR of GOD is the beginning of wisdom. (Psalm 111:10) Could loving God be to fear God? Jesus said, "If you love me you will keep my commands." In Ecclesiastes 8:12-13 "...yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that Fear God, which fear before him: But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he Feareth not before God." "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: FEAR GOD, and KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: for this is the whole duty of man." Ecclesiastes 12:13 Godly Fear is obedience that honors the one in command. Complete trust is full reliance upon love. It seems as though we may not realize in this busy world of non-stop, endless lists of things to do...we are forgetting to obey His Word. We have forgotten the beginning, the basics, the foundation, the very reason we are alive. To give glory to God. What gives God glory? Ask any parent who takes great delight in showing of...

BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING

Be anxious (worried/uneasy) for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Meditate on These Things Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4) As my friend, Michael says, "If you meditate on the negative, you will be anxious and worried and see negative results. But if you meditate on heavenly things you will have peace. Don't focus on the tribulation, focus on the gift of eternal life given by our Lord Jesus Christ, and how many lost ...

FALLING AWAY

My mom was watching Sean Hannity on Fox news the other night. He had Joel Osteen on as a guest, he is a pastor of a large church and author of a few books. When he was asked by Hannity what is his take on controversal subjects, such as gay marriage and abortion...Joel's answer was, "In his opinion it is not GOD'S BEST." Wow, if ever a man had an opportunity to speak the name of Jesus and the pure word of God to thousands of listeners... he did the exact opposite. I heard my mom from the other room say, "WHAT A WISS!" I am pretty sure she meant to say, 'wuss.' He did not represent the Kingdom of God, he actually avoided speaking the truth for whatever reason. Jesus said the world hated me and they will hate you. If you are ashamed of or deny Jesus before men, He will be ashamed of and deny you before His Father and all the host of heaven. God's word says that murderers, drunkards, fornicators, adulterers, effeminate, liars, gossips will not inheri...
