First He says He loves them because Jesus died for everyone.  Doesn’t matter what race, color, or preference of sin you choose.  Now I will broach the subject from the word of God itself!  Romans Chapter one goes into detail about God’s take on it.  Take it up with the creator who says clearly this is an ABOMINATION to Him.  Beginning with verse 18; “God’s anger is shown from heaven against ALL evil and wrong things people do.  By their own evil lies they hide the truth.  God shows His anger because some knowledge of Him has been made clear to them.  Yes God has shown Himself to them.  There are things about Him that people cannot see – His eternal power and all the things that make Him God.  But since the beginning of the world, those things have been easy to understand by what God has made.  So people have NO EXCUSE for the bad things they do.  They knew God, but they did not give glory to God or thank Him.  Their thinking became useless.  Their foolish minds were filled with darkness.  They said they were wise, but they became fools.  They traded the glory of God who lives forever for the worship of idols made to look like earthly people, birds, animals, and snakes.

Because they did these things, God left them and let them go their sinful way, wanting only to do evil.  As a result, they became full of sexual sin, using their bodies WRONGLY with each other.  They traded the truth of God for a lie.  They worshiped and served what had been created instead of the God who created those things, (created what things? them) who should be praised forever!  Amen.

Because people did those things, God left them and let them do shameful things they wanted to do.  Women stopped having natural sex and started having sex with other women.  In the same way, men stopped having natural sex and began wanting each other.   Men did shameful things with other men, and in their bodies, they received the punishment for those wrongs.” (AIDS)

So if God the creator says it is believing a lie, Shameful, Wrong, Abomination, evil and gave man the consequences of it then tell me, Why would he make you that way.  Come on you are believing a lie?  God loves you and I love you, but I cannot and will not affirm you in your sin!  GOD HATES IT!!! He did not make you that way.

The whole thing started with not being grateful to God.  You may at your leisure read the rest of Romans 1.

I will end with verse 32; “They know God’s law says that those who live like this should die.  But they themselves not only continue to do these evil things, but they also applaud others who do them.  Please reread and consider what the word of God says.

Excuse me but I thought prisons were for punishment.  If you commit a horrendous crime you should not be allowed any privileges.  The whole reason for having prisons is to punish the offender, not reward them!  I find this extremely appalling, that a prisoner would be allowed to sue, to get any type of privilege.

For those of you who are not privy to this story.  A crazed lunatic that killed his wife in 1993 wants the state of Virginia to pay for his sex change.  What in the world is this country coming to?

If the state surrenders to this transvestite, what will happen next?  If you love this country then PLEASE let your feelings in this matter be known.

You usually do not catch me being speechless on a matter, but one of this magnitude almost has me to that point.  What the state needs to do and all the correctional institutions in this country is to stop being stupid and say no to anything a criminal asks for!  They should not have any rights.  They gave those rights up when they broke the law.

The almighty dollar seems to be where the countries allegiance is going.  Instead of In God we Trust on the dollar bill it might as well say in the dollar we trust.

Our complacency is going to be the ruin of this country!  Again I cry “What are prisons for?

II Timothy 2:4

Is not a Soldier bound in matters of the world to please him who has chosen him?

War is not about killing, but about protecting freedoms, families, and nations!

On this memorial day, I want to thank all the soldiers in every war, that have sacrificed their lives, families, and time for us!  You are very special!  You are never forgotten.  Daily in this country, someone is praying for you.  Groups at churches have special meetings just to pray for you.

Those who would undermine war and what it really stands for are pardon me, ignorant fighting for it, because somewhere someone wants to take it from you. 

Those who demonstrate would not have the freedom to do so had it not been for soldiers fighting to give you that freedom. 

Wars are also for our protection.  There are people who would like to kill us and wipe us off the face of the earth.  How many out there screaming have actually served time?  Animal kingdoms protect their domains as well. 

Those screaming the loudest against war, lay down then and let what ever happens to you happen.  Let the robber take your purse or wallet.  Let the hater kill your innocent children.  Give up your home and all your possessions to the one that is trying to steal them.  Get out of your gas-guzzling car and give it to the one who is fighting you to get it, or SHUT UP!

Now can we get on with living and trying to establish some peace in our Nation?

Now, you know what war is all about.

America has it all backwards.  This was never meant to keep church separated from the government.  It was meant to keep the government from telling the church what to do.

To remove in Jesus name from prayer or remove Jesus in any way, would mean to remove, Buddha, Allah, Mohammed, etc as well.

Thomas Jefferson had no intention of allowing the government to limit, restrict, regulate, or interfere with public religious practices. He believed, along with the other Founders, that the First Amendment had been enacted only to prevent the federal establishment of a national denomination – a fact he made clear in a letter to fellow-signer of the Declaration of Independence Benjamin Rush:

[T]he clauses of the Constitution which, while it secured the freedom of the press, covered also the freedom of religion, had given to the clergy a very favorite hope of obtaining an establishment of a particular form of Christianity through the United States; and as every sect believes its own from the true one, everyone perhaps hoped for his own, but especially the Episcopalians and Congregationalists. The returning good sense of our country threatens abortion to their hopes and they believe that any portion of power confided to me will be exerted in opposition to their schemes. And they believe rightly.

Josephus – An Eyewitness to Christianity
Josephus was a historian who lived from 37 A.D. to about 100 A.D. He was a member of the priestly aristocracy of the Jews and was taken hostage by the Roman Empire in the great Jewish revolt of 66-70 A.D. Josephus spent the rest of his life in or around Rome as an advisor and historian to three emperors, Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian. For centuries, the works of Josephus were more widely read in Europe than any book other than the Bible. They are invaluable sources of eyewitness testimony to the development of Western civilization, including the foundation and growth of Christianity in the 1st Century.

About this time arose Jesus, a wise man, who did good deeds and whose virtues were recognized. And many Jews and people of other nations became his disciples. Pilate condemned him to be crucified and to die. However, those who became his disciples preached his doctrine. They related that he had appeared to them three days after his crucifixion and that he was alive. Perhaps he was the Messiah in connection with whom the prophets foretold wonders. [Josephus, Jewish Antiquities, XVIII 3.2]

In 1972, however, Professor Schlomo Pines of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem announced his discovery of a different manuscript tradition of Josephus’s writings in the tenth-century Melkite historian Agapius, which reads as follows at Antiquities 18:63:

At this time there was a wise man called Jesus, and his conduct was good, and he was known to be virtuous. Many people among the Jews and the other nations became his disciples. Pilate condemned him to be crucified and to die. But those who had become his disciples did not abandon his discipleship. They reported that he had appeared to them three days after his crucifixion and that he was alive. Accordingly, he was perhaps the Messiah, concerning whom the prophets have reported wonders. And the tribe of the Christians, so named after him, has not disappeared to this day.

Rick Perry’s Religious Event Mired in Controversy

“Gov. Perry’s decision to sponsor a ‘Christians-only’ prayer rally is bad enough.  That he turned to an array of intolerant religious extremists to put it on for him is even worse,” Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United, said.  “This event unites us in our conviction that government should have no favorite theology and that it must always strive to ensure that all citizens – Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, and others – are full and equal partners in the public square.”

The God of the universe has given you free rein to believe what you choose!!!  This Makes Him Supreme in my book.  All the other so-called gods threaten & tell their followers what to believe.  If they don’t they are killed, or ex-communicated.

This country was founded on God and His Son Jesus!  There were no other gods here brought over with them.  Indians may have had their many gods, but we founded the country on GOD!

If your state is thinking about removing Jesus’ name from prayer, God, help us as a nation.  We are treading on dangerous ground deleting the creator of the entire world!   If hell falls on our heads it will be of our own choosing!

God became flesh and came here as Jesus to redeem fallen man!!!  In John 14:6, Jesus said, “No man can come to the Father except through me!”  John 1:14 “God became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

Get your bible out and prove me wrong.

I always get inspired and awed by people who take trash and can make a treasure from it.  I’m sure you have heard the saying “Take your mess and make a message. 

You know we all have many road blocks in our lives that try to hinder us from moving forward.  Some people seem to sift through it better than others, and there are some like Scarlet O’Hara in “Gone With The Wind”  I won’t think about that today I’ll think about that tomorrow. I’d like to share with you a few of the people who have taken trash and made treasure from it.  For example: 

In our times of unrest, we can point to a tiny little country that is bigger than life!  It is called Israel.  This tiny little country was chosen by God, so He could show Himself MIGHTY!!!

It all started with a twin born to Isaac and Rebeka.  Esau and Jacob were the twins with Esau being first and Jacob being second.  Now Jacob came out holding the heel of his brother.

It was Jacob that wrestled with God almost an entire night and Jacob told God I WILL NOT LET YOU GO UNTIL YOU BLESS ME!  Wow, something to be demanding of God huh?  Nevertheless, God did bless him and changed his name from Jacob to Israel.  Hence we have the nation of Israel!  He was also from the line of Abraham and Sarah.

Next came King David, you know the one who killed Goliath.  His son was Solomon the richest and wisest man ever.  Solomon built a temple for God and then dedicated it to God and here is Gods response: “If (My) people who are called by (My Name) will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and TURN from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and heal their land!  That could be America if the leaders and Christians would do what God said to do.  Just a little side note from God; “Now My eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in THIS place (which place? The temple Solomon built) I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that MY Name may be there forever.  My eyes and my heart will always be there.”

Now getting to the point; Jesus the Messiah and Savior then came!  After that came a man named Saul who thought he was doing God a favor by killing the Jews and Christians. (Does this sound familiar)?   So these children from Ishmael are saying the same things about us (Kill the infidel!)  And thinking they are doing God a favor.  II Chronicles 7:14 still stands from Our God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever! Get with the program rulers and Christians!

We live in a throwaway society.  People buy furniture and in a year they are tired of it and go out and buy new.  Had a car for two years oh well it’s not new enough let’s get a new one.  My wife or husband I don’t like the way they act, so it’s time for a new one.

What happened to restoration?  If people just put a new look to their already owned stuff we could save a lot of money in America.  It used to be that a girl learned to sew at an early age and making clothes was so much cheaper.  Now it cost more to make your own clothes. Not to mention you can hardly find cloth anymore to buy.

There would be no need for buying overseas goods.  Think of the money that could be saved.

Grab a hold of this and think … it all stems from the root of ungratefulness.  I know I sound like a broken record, but check out the bible.  The first chapter of Romans shows how ungratefulness can lead to immoral behavior and then to a downfall of society.

Also there is a mentality of it’s too hard to make a relationship work.  It’s too hard to sew my own clothes.  People want instant gratification.  Then what happens?  The next gratification isn’t good enough so move on to the next.

Let’s take a look at the word restoration:

 restore vb (tr)

1. to return (something, esp a work of art or building) to an original or former condition

2. to bring back to health, good spirits, etc.

3. to return (something lost, stolen, etc.) to its owner

4. to reintroduce or re-enforce to restore discipline

5. to reconstruct (an extinct animal, former landscape, etc.)

[from Old French, from Latin r?staur?re to rebuild, from re- + -staur?re, as in instaur?re to renew]

re·store tr.v. re·stored, re·stor·ing, re·stores

1. To bring back into existence or use; reestablish: restore law and order.

2. To bring back to an original condition: restore a building. 

3. To put (someone) back in a former position: restore the emperor to the throne.

4. To make restitution of; give back: restore the stolen funds.

Leonardo Da Vinci LAST SUPPER it had a major over haul.  The candles over the years had given it a layer of soot that darkened it.  The new restoration made the WOW factor unbelievable.  People could hardly believe how bright and vibrant the colors became.

People can restore relationships, but it takes work.  Something this society doesn’t relish anymore.  I’d like to challenge people to begin to think about this, but Americans are too busy buying new things and having to over work to pay for them to give a NEW well OLD idea a chance.

People used to sit outside at their homes and get to know their neighbors.  They would cross the street sit out on their porches talk and play games.  Now they are inside resting from their jobs, they have to pay for their NEW things they feel they need.

What is it going to take AMERICA a crashing down of our country to wake us up???

Will the next Tower of Babylon be in Saudi Arabia?  It is in the process of being built now.  In what is being called the Kingdom Tower and is considered the first phase of what is known as the Kingdom City.  Scary, well yes!  It is being built by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.  The company building it is Binladen Group.

For those of you who do not know about the Tower of Babel, it was built in the time of Genesis in the bible.

Genesis 11:1-9 now the whole earth used the same language and the same words. It came about as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.  They said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly.” And they used brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.  They said, “Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”  The LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.  The LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them.  “Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”  So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city.  Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.

The next one is to be in Saudi Arabia. It is to be 3,280 feet high and cover a 2 mile square area and 5.4 million square feet.    Now tell me why one person should have such wealth?  Think of the families that could be helped with this extravagance.  Not to mention building worldwide popularity.  I do not think all of this is going to be for the good.  Thank you America for funding this Kingdom City!   You can’t do without your gasoline.  So you will be in the kettle in a slow cooker until you have completely, in your comfort, burned to death.

At what price will it take for us to wake up?  Are we really this stupid?  God help us and by the way HE is the only one who can!  I am beginning to feel like one crying in the wilderness!

UN: World lacks enough food, fuel as population soars

‘To achieve sustainability, a transformation of the global economy is required’ cites report

LONDON: The world is running out of time to make sure there is enough food, water and energy to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population and to avoid sending up to 3 billion people into poverty, a U.N. report warned on Monday.

As the world’s population looks set to grow to nearly 9 billion by 2040 from 7 billion now, and the number of middle-class consumers increases by 3 billion over the next 20 years, the demand for resources will rise exponentially.

Even by 2030, the world will need at least 50 percent more food, 45 percent more energy and 30 percent more water, according to U.N. estimates, at a time when a changing environment is creating new limits to supply.

Thought I would let you take a look at this headline before I get started.  I’m going to cry out again for the government to help farmers!  Give them more land, money to keep our country going.  Lot’s of money being spent on ridiculous things such as:

• Almost a decade ago, the federal government dropped $100 million for an Earth-monitoring satellite that never made it into space. Today it sits in a closet in Maryland.

Cost to taxpayers for storing it: $1 million a year. And that’s just what’s hiding in one closet. Who knows what’s in the rest of them? Reader’s Digest decided to find out.

By Ryan Grim with Joseph K. Vetter from Reader’s Digest January 2008

The Government is wasting your tax dollars

• The Medicare program pays as much as eight times the cost that other federal agencies pay for the same drugs and medical supplies.
• The federal government cannot account for $24.5 billion spent in 2003.
• The federal government spends $23 billion annually on special interest pork projects such as grants to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, or funds to combat teenage “goth” culture in Blue Springs, Missouri.
• The Defense Department wasted $100 million on unused flight tickets, and never bothered to collect refunds even though the tickets were reimbursable.

And here is the one that goes along with what I am talking about.

• The Conservation Reserve program pays farmers $2 billion annually to not farm their land.
• Massive farm subsidies also go to several members of Congress, and celebrity “hobby farmers” such as David Rockefeller, Ted Turner, Scottie Pippen, and former Enron CEO Ken Lay.

Is anybody besides me tired of this government bureaucracy?  Something seriously needs to be done.  Call your congress person.  Lobby your rights to be heard.  We need our farmers!  Don’t let them become extinct.
