Rock Star Testimony

May 26, 2006

Ever heard of those people who’ve wrecked their lives by abusing sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll? Ok maybe it’s not possible to abuse rock-n-roll. You get the point. There are lots of people who’ve hit rock bottom. I’m not just saying on a depression level. I’m staying their life could not get worse. Then in that broken moment they find God and turn their life around. What an amazing testimony to the power of God.

Yeah but “I’ve been a Christian my whole life and my testimony’s kinda lame”. I’ve heard this fodder many times. But something struck me yesterday after writing my post about Peter. I started comparing Peter to Paul. I found it interesting to note that Paul had the rock star testimony (killing Christians) while Peter had the “good” Christian testimony.

It’s just a cool comparison that shows that God can use us now matter what our history is. It’s just matter of having a willing spirit to be used by God.

Kinda simple… I like that.

Peter’s Shadow

May 25, 2006

Just wanted to share with you about a new revelation I had while reading the New Testament. Christ aside I always thought Paul was the stud of the N.T. My thoughts are starting to change about that. Well at least Peter deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Paul.

Jesus said ‘And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 20: 18-19

Yeah yeah we all know Peter was the founder of the Church but this power to bind and loose is a big deal. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept you should study it in detail. In a sentence it means Jesus told Peter whatever practices Peter deemed worthy to be followed or not followed on earth God would also make it that way in heaven. Think about that… a man was given the power to effect what heaven looks like.

OK that’s cool… yeah but check this out…
Act 5:15 people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.

What in the world??? Peter’s faith was sooo strong that he nearly walked on water but since then his faith increases to the point that Peter’s very shadow has the power to heal people! That’s crazy. There’s not even an account in the gospels that Jesus did that.

Of course there was the two times in Acts that Peter was imprisoned (one time guarded by 16 men) and an angel came down to break him out.

It’s kind of funny how Peter is often portrayed as the class clown or is remembered for denying Christ three times. Peter is a man among men. I wish I had a tenth of the faith Peter had.

Understanding Democracy?

May 24, 2006

Can anyone help me understand how democracy works anymore?

Four states voted to ban same sex marriage;

Yet yesterday Georgia became the 4th state to see a single judge throwing out the votes of literally millions of people overruling the ban on same sex marriage.

I can not understand the logic behind this. Can someone please explain it to me?

On June 6 the U.S. Senate will vote on the Marriage Protection Amendment (MPA) which defines marriage as being only between one man and one woman. Because of a power grab by activist judges like the one in Georgia, the MPA is the only way that the sacred institution of marriage will remain between one man and one woman.

Mexican Standoff

May 23, 2006

I don’t know how everybody else feels about it, but to me I think Hispanic people in this country, legally or illegally, made a huge public relations mistake with their recent demonstrations.

I don’t blame anybody in the world for wanting to come to the United States of America, as it is a truly wonderful place. But when the first thing you do when you set foot on American soil is illegal it is flat out wrong and I don’t care how many lala land left heads come out of the woodwork and start trying to give me sensitivity lessons.

I don’t need sensitivity lessons, in fact I don’t have anything against Mexicans, I just have something against criminals and anybody who comes into this country illegally is a criminal and if you don’t believe it try coming into America from a foreign country without a passport and see how far you get.

What disturbs me about the demonstrations is that it’s tantamount to saying, “I am going to come into your country even if it means breaking your laws and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

It’s an “in your face” action and speaking just for me I don’t like it one little bit and if there were a half dozen pairs of gonads in Washington bigger than English peas it wouldn’t be happening.

Where are you, you bunch of lilly livered, pantywaist, forked tongued, sorry excuses for defenders of The Constitution? Have you been drinking the water out of the Potomac again?

And even if you pass a bill on immigration it will probably be so pork laden and watered down that it won’t mean anything anyway. Besides, what good is another law going to do when you won’t enforce the ones on the books now?

And what ever happened to the polls guys? I thought you folks were the quintessential finger wetters. Well you sure ain’t paying any attention to the polls this time because somewhere around eighty percent of Americans want something done about this mess, and mess it is and getting bigger everyday.

This is no longer a problem, it is a dilemma and headed for being a tragedy. Do you honestly think that what happened in France with the Muslims can’t happen here when the businesses who hire these people finally run out of jobs and a few million disillusioned Hispanics take to the streets?

If you, Mr. President, Congressmen and Senators, knuckle under on this and refuse to do something meaningful it means that you care nothing for the kind of country your children and grandchildren will inherit.

But I guess that doesn’t matter as long as you get re-elected.

Shame on you.

Pray for our troops.

What do you think?
