Benghazi - Left to Die

Image
Wood was shattered on the roof Rescue called-- never came through. Told to never doubt this truth They did what they had to do. With the gates torn down, A flashing blaze rushed smoke. They heard the Jihad sound They knew they couldn't choke. Pictures blared round the world Each minute death drew close. Into action their instinct hurled Deep stench filled up their nose. The call went out for help They kept looking to the sky, Not ever thinking of them-self. Brave men were left to die. Disgrace is the only medal He should wear upon his chest Rome burned, Nero fiddled Barak denied their request. The devil danced in the street, The Ambassador tossed thru crowds, Brave heroes never accept defeat, They fought and made us proud. Our President brought us shame, Plotting lies while Americans died, Now dodging personal blame, But, we --the citizen-- know he's lied. Redeemer of Righteousness Hear our plea before Your throne, Expose truth

Always Right = A Fool

Image
Do you know a fool? Do you live with one? Are you one? If you think you might be a fool, that is a huge sign that you are not. A fool thinks he is always right and would never ponder on the fact that he might be one. But you might feel like a fool because you live with a fool or someone very close to you is a fool. Do you know someone who is so self-confident that they are always right? Now I am not talking about a teenager that naturally goes through the 'I am right, parents are dumb' stage. We all have periods of foolishness in our life. It can be hard to love someone through a foolish period, but tough love will not cater to the whims of foolish whimpers and cave in with giving what they want rather than saying or encouraging what they need. A fool is deceitful. Every Christian knows it is wrong to be deceitful because Satan is the father of lies and deceit. To be deceitful is to follow the father of lies. Just yesterday I heard that Sun Tzu in the Art of War sa

Daily - One Thing A Christian Has to Do

Image
Religious duties are drudgery and have nothing to do with Jehovah God - Jesus - of the Holy Bible. Most certainly many in the name of God, claiming to represent Him, have laid down upon man many religious musts and don'ts, but let me be clear... we have only one thing to do: TO EXPERIENCE a life of RELATIONSHIP and INTIMACY with GOD! I say that as though it is a simple, common thing that can be done by any person... and it can. That in itself is the mystery of grace that is boundless and sufficient for all. Yes, yes, that sounds like religiosity... the mystery of grace.... boundless and sufficient for all is about as simple for most to understand as how one is to practically and daily experience a LIFE of relationship and intimacy with God. But that is precisely what I am saying can be done and must be done in order to be a Christian. While discipline is important, religious duties are not in the least pleasing to God unless we are practicing steps of discipleship

Christian Versus Atheist All-Star Celebrity Apprentice

Image
This coming Sunday night is the finale of the Donald Trump All-Star Celebrity Apprentice. Our family has enjoyed watching the show together each Sunday. Source Credit Link: abc We have grown to know the celebrities better and appreciate their strengths and weaknesses. One unusually part of this season has been the oddity of the celebrity Gary Busey, once an up-and-coming actor who got in a vehicle accident, had brain injury and went through a period addiction. Now he is getting his life back together. Gary has a beautiful wife, precious young boy and a definitely up-and-down mental stability; but Gary is Gary--and most viewer enjoy his out-of-this-world mental trips giving us his unique view of life in the mind of Gary. The show's final two celebrities are Trace Adkins and Penn from the magician act, Penn and Tell. The finale has been slated as Nashville versus Los Vegas. Both men are quite confident of winning and coincidently of similar physical stature--tall, big, lon

Youth Ministry - A Place to Practice

Image
In many churches today youth ministry is the place that the church deacons employ young up-and-coming pastors. They deem that youth ministry is like a trial run for big church, or for pastoring the adult or even the whole congregation. Many senior pastors have used youth ministry as the gateway to becoming the main leader of a whole congregation. Typical youth crazy activities Let us look at the pros, cons and mindset that corresponds with this process. Middle to High School students don't know as much about the Bible so it seems a nice place to let green ministers cut their teeth so to speak. The pastor can try out his Bible knowledge and develop a means of communicating messages to people. Youth are more apt to being flexible and forgiving of errors, let us face the fact that the majority of young people will not even notice if a youth pastor blunders a message or gives advice that is mediocre or not totally wise. And the feeling is "what does it matter" th
