The Strong Being Pushed

Thu, 25 Aug 2011 09:56:56 -0500

The Story

Time after time I have found stories that relate to a small group of people pushing most of the American people aside. The story I bring you today is no different. In DeSoto County, Miss pre-game football prayers over the speakers has been stopped by the Freedom from Religion Foundation.

The Point

Freedom from Religion Foundation might seem like a big group fighting prayers and taking action all the way to the Supreme Court, true. But aren’t we as Christians more in number. And taking that I am only talking about Christians in the United States, imagine all over the world. There is dozens of organizations that say they support Christian values. Yet, where are these organizations when these athiest groups shove back.

The Denial

It is easy to see that we as Christians have stopped believing in God like we should. We are giving room to the anti-Christ movement. The anti-Christ doesn’t necessarily mean a man in dark cloths, it can be a system that goes against anything that Christians represent. What are we doing about it. Nothing. Yes, I admit some still pray and even fast for this country. But overall there is many that don’t. There is even few that could care less. First they take away prayers in public places so what’s next?

I ask you to think about this. The Freedom from Religion Foundation’s goal is to stop any form of prayers through out schools. Where are our foundations trying to stop them. They claim it on a freedom of religion that they don’t want prayers, well aren’t they stopping our freedom as well.

Wrong Turn

Sun, 21 Aug 2011 09:27:31 -0500

I believe it is time to get on our knees and pray for this country and its leaders.

We have been seeing and hearing news stories from all around the world of corruption, riots, and conflicts. We are feared now with another economical recession (even though I believe Christians can thrive through those things). Now judges have begun to strike down religious freedom.

Hitting closer to home, judges in Illinois ruled that Catholic Charities could not preserve foster care and adoption programs with the state. Personally I am a Pentecostal Christian, and don’t tend to agree much with Roman Catholic beliefs. Yet, what they stood for here is something i fully support.

The wrong turn is that because Catholic Charities would not refine its same sex adoption policy the state of Illinois has refused in renewing their contracts. A judge has upheld the decision by the state stating that the state could renew and give out any contracts to whomever they please.

What is really happening here though? Religious freedom is being shut out. Let me go further Christian freedom and beliefs are being shut out. Even though the question wasn’t addressed directly it does have to do alot with beliefs. From my understanding in that state is that religious organizations are exempt from the same sex civil union laws. Unfortunately, I have no idea how strongly religious organizations are exempt from such laws.

What I do know is that it is most likely that Catholic Charities will fight this in court again at the circuit level on the bases of religious freedom. So let us pray that these judges receive their knowledge from God. If Catholic Charities is struck down on the basis of religious freedom at the circuit level it will most likely go to the Supreme Court and if struck down there, than our ministers, pastors, and priests must obey any same sex marriage law.

Again, let us pray before we take the wrong turn!

I was reading through articles and found this incredibly ridiculous article about Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street being gay.

The article itself wasn’t what I found ridiculous it was the push the article mentioned to make Bert and Ernie gay.

Now I know that the new marriage laws from New York will open up many doors for gay rights groups. It is said that once the door in New York is open many other states will follow. I only pray it is not the case. I’m an old school guy at heart. I’m also Christian. So I truly believe in the marriage between man and woman.

Getting to the article though, I find it a very ill push by any group to try and force young toddlers (because it is mostly toddlers) to any kind of sexual mentality. Those toddlers shouldn’t be watching any kind of scenes like that. Whether it be homosexual orientation or not. Those toddlers should be learning valuable lessons on how to treat each other instead.

It seems the Church stays quite for most of these things. We have so much technology at our disposal and we use it so wrongly. In the other hands groups that go against everything we believe in are gaining the advantage because they are organized.

I thank God that the Sesame Street executives also thought like me. They released this statement “Bert and Ernie are best friends,” producers said on the Sesame Workshop Facebook page. “They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves.”

There are only a handful of television programs that would have said no to pressure like that.

Lack of Power from the Church

Mon, 15 Aug 2011 08:30:49 -0500

Howard Shultz CEO of Starbucks cancelled an appearance at Willow Creek Community Church after he recieved tons of pressure from gay rights groups.
Now I find this interesting not because of the power of the gay rights groups but instead because of the lack of power from the church.
Not just that specific church im talking about our entire churches.
Where has our authority gone. I believe we have done two things we have been comforted by yhe world and two we have stopped seeking God.
We lack power because we lack God.
I dont black Willow Creek at all, its our entire church body.

Breaking Down Walls for Woman Too

Sun, 14 Aug 2011 14:43:35 -0500

Today I heard a wonderful sermon by our co-pastor. It was very impacting. Our co-pastor talked how everyone is really busy to enjoy their own family. It’s very true our motives, as wonderful as we might think they are, have really gave room for our adversary to come and destroy the foundation of the family. According to his statistics 7 out of 10 people divorce.

I really agree with the sermon as a whole. I do think that this society has us rushing towards material things and we are losing our family in the process.

I agree.

Yet, he came to the point of woman having to be the stay home house keeper in order for a family to work.

This I do not agree with.

You see, I see a generation that is being educated now. God has allowed many opportunites for woman to advance in this society. I believe that no matter who goes to work man or woman or both should be held equally responsible for the structure of the family. It says in Proverbs that the wise woman build her home. Yes, there can be many interpertations, such as the one my co-pastor took, to stay home.

I believe in my heart that Jesus came to tear down those walls that were oppressing woman. Such as the story of the Samarian woman and Jesus. First, she was a woman second she was Samarian, the Jewish teachers would never talk to a Samarian with respect much less if she was a woman.

A house isn’t build with one person it is build with the wife and husband if they are still able too. Returning to the Proverbs verse. Perhaps this scripture is written to inspire woman to look God in wisdom and to conquer that secular wisdom as well, while she does, she is actually helping her home.

I believe that God blesses those that love Him. Both man and woman. Educated or not. Man should be providers but if woman for a reason or another decide to work, I believe that is okay. Yet, both should not forget about firstly their marriage and secondly their family. Have time for each other. Don’t bring work home. Instead take home to work. Have them on your mind.

North Korean Christians

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 07:20:04 -0500

Story recollects about the struggles of North Korean people and how many have called for prayer as the move of powers from Kim Jong II to his son are about to take place.

Read full story.

People are oppressed in North Korea. They are placed in jail for having dreams. They are placed in jail for believing in something better. As people from a free country let’s not take for granted on how much God has blessed us. We are, for the most part, free to choose our own religion and worship.

North Korean people don’t have that luxury. Let’s pray for freedom in that country. Let’s pray for a change of heart among it’s leaders. Nothing is too great for our God. Let’s remember our Christian brothers and sisters there. They don’t have freedom to worship.

Market Downturn?

Sun, 07 Aug 2011 11:01:32 -0500

S&P downgrades the U.S rating and the first waves of crisis starts in the middle east markets.

Will there be a collapse of the market? Investors have been trying to get the Eurpean Union and the united states to come up with better debt relieving programs for their countries. We all know what has happened in congress though, a very poor debt reliever was passed. We have to be weary in these situations yes. As Christians we have to remember not to act irrationally to any situation and go to God first. If the the second wave of investors do the same as the first middle eastern wave come monday, we will for sure go into another crisis. Shouldn’t we start praying?

Miracle prayers that work!

Rick Perry and Prayer

Fri, 05 Aug 2011 13:49:51 -0500

Rick Perry, the Repubilcan Texas governer and a potential 2012 presidential candidate has called for prayer for the country.

Read Story.

Even though I question his true selfish motives and don’t agree with his politics I do give him lots of credit for doing this. Many politicians talk a big talk about bieng from a certain religion but do not act like they are. This nation, even though we are boast about having religious freedom or no religion at all, oddly enough ask politicians to keep their religious freedom quite. Bravo Perry, I might not agree with you but I sure respect you.

The Winner

Wed, 03 Aug 2011 06:53:08 -0500

Congress has been debating on the debt cieling for weeks. In a final push, or a desperate one at most, congress got it done. All this has caused congress to have a 14 percent approval rating 10 points less than Nixon when he left office.

Read full story here.

Yet there was a winner here. Perhaps the republican party because they almost got everything they wanted from the deal right? No the real winner was Rep Gabrielle Giffords, the woman that was shot in the head months prior. She came in to vote all the way from Houston where she is still recieving physical therapy.

How is she a winner? Her getting shot and surving is a miracle from God. Who knows how many lifes she will touch through this. I do not know her personal or religious background, but I am sure that she is more greatful now. Gratefullness for life, something we all need.

The Real Story

Tue, 02 Aug 2011 06:43:42 -0500

Israel denies pre-1967 borders.

Top officials from Israel have denied that the prime minister will negotiate pre-1967 borders. Real story here though is that Palastine has already submitted a request to the U.N. to be recognized as its own state. How will the U.S. vote? This can mean two things, our alliance with Israel will become stronger or very much weaken by this vote.

Italian professor Francesco D’Andria has been looking for years for the tomb and finally has found it. The tomb was found under the ruins of a church. Writing was found to prove it was St. Phillip.

What does this finding do to the Christian community. Simple, it adds credibility to the Bible by science.

Pastor Jesse Odell Grooms

Sun, 31 Jul 2011 10:09:20 -0500

A story about the redemption of Jesse at the age of 25, to his transformation into Pastor Odell for the rest of his life. The story goes how Pastor Odell’s legacy lives on through his grandson.

Read the full article of Pastor Odell here.

This should be in our hearts. To have the passion to save souls and to really fall in love with God. To be in love with God so much that you inspire others to pursue the same goals as you. To be in love with God so much that even if your son is out in the world while you are taking care of God’s ministry, God will bring him back. Very inspirational.

Praying for Salvation of Your Family

Tue, 26 Jul 2011 19:42:06 -0500

It is very beautiful when you have family members that are also Christian. It creates a spiritual lift communion and trust between the family. It should also be able to help you out when in need by just going to your family and asking them to pray, what better support than from the ones you know.

Yet there is most likely family members that have known Christ and walked away or have not even tried before. Whatever it is there is those family members are there for you to try and make them convert. The Lord gives you a promise that all your family members will be saved.

I have three easy steps from experience that will help this happen.

First, very easy, believe your prayers. No matter how hard headed the person looks from the exterior its always your prayers that is going to hit them. So if you pray and believe it will start activated the seed.

Secondly prophesy. You don’t have to be a prophet instead just activate your prayers even further. What i mean by this is in your prayers declare your son mother father daughter to how you want them to be. A real lover of Christ.

Lastly declare your prayers to the person. My mother would always tell me face to face “You are a man of God and He will touch your heart and change it one day”. Well as crazy as it sounded I soon started believing it.

These three things should activate a movement from God because you are acting in the faith. Remember though never give up no matter how hard it seems and how long it takes. It took my mother three years.
