I wish I could work one week and then take 2 weeks vacation then work one week and then take 2 weeks vacation, but that kind of job doesn’t exist.

Oh wait, there is one job that you can do that, its the presidency.

If Jesus would have worked like that he would still be trying to get 12 apostles together.

But when you think about it, this country is better off if he would just stay on vacation, and hopefully he will be on a permanent vacation in less than 3 years!

But even with our fearless leader and his spendthrift wife are gone, theres still enough loonies in the henhouse trying to destroy this country.

I praise God for Glen Becks Restoring Honor to America tour as he called this country back to God and prayer.

Every Pastor in America should be doing the same thing from our pulpits, the only thing that will save this nation is falling at the feet of Jesus as a nation.  Until that happens, we will continue on the path of destruction.

Becks rally showed that there are allot of Americans white, black and other races that have the same beliefs that our constitution our laws and our borders ought to be protected.

And its not about politics, its about being an American who loves his country, and that includes all races, we Americans have to stand together and stand against the ungodly direction that this administration wants to take America.

We as Americans can no longer afford to be the silent majority,  we have to speak out,  we can no longer allow liberals tell us that our beliefs don’t matter, they do because they’re the same beliefs that our God has instructed to us to follow in his Word.

I was thankful to see  Mrs. King stand with a white guy and honor her Uncle Martin Luther King. Wasn’t that what Civil rights was all about?

She gave a great speech that showed Americans are from all races and need to stand together for truth.

Its only the truth that will set this nation free,  its only truth that can change hearts to honor God.

Lets give God the glory that he deserves and ask him to bring revival across this land.

Recently theres been allot of discussion of what a Christian is,  Obama says he’s a Christian, Pelosi, says her favorite word is “The Word”   Harry Reid says he’s a Christian, but when you look at what they believe, promote and pass as laws, how does those things line up with Gods Word?

What is a Christian?

Core Beliefs

1.   He believes, that Jesus is the Son of God

2.  He believes he existed from eternity pass with God the Father

3.  That Jesus left heaven and came to earth in human form and walked on his creation for 33 years

4.  Jesus voluntarily went to the cross and laid down his life as a sacrifice for sin

5.  Three days later he rose again from the dead

6. Anyone (absolutely anyone) who believes he is the Son of God and repents of their sin and accepts Christ as the only Savior, will be saved,  and then no longer continues sinning but begins to live for Christ.

7.    All who are saved (born again) no matter your race, sex or location are adopted into the family of God and we are brothers and sisters in Christ

8. Those who refuse to admit their a sinner,  (sin is passed on from generation to generation since creation and the fall of Adam and Eve)  repent of that sin (ask forgiveness)  will go to hell.

9. Christians believe that the taking of innocent life through murder, (abortion)  killing elderly is sin and those who perform such things cannot enter heaven.

10. Christians believe that homosexuality is sin, and no homosexual will enter heaven,  but those who get saved and leaves the practice of homosexuality will go to heaven

11. Christians believe there is no way to heaven except through belief and acceptance of Christ. No religion can get you there,  good works cannot help you, baptism won’t help. Only through a relationship with Christ.

11. Believes the Bible is Gods Word,  everything he wanted us to know, he wrote down through a certain group of men.

12. Believe that the church age is about finished and 7 years of trouble is about to happen.

13, Believe the church (believers will be taken to heaven before the 7 years of trouble)  and we will be with Christ forever.

Unless you believe these main things, you cannot be a Christian,  you cannot be saved, and you cannot be on your way to heaven.

So when you hear about all these people claiming to be Christians but support and live in sin, you realize its impossible.

True Christians believe what the bible says, every word.  Once your saved, you cannot lose your salvation, it was a gift from God and all we have to do is accept his free gift, and have the peace of God in your heart.

At church, we began a new sermon series on the book of Isaiah who gave him a vision of what happens to a country that rebells against him.

A vision is something given by God of events that will take place in the future of both good and evil and in the vision of Isaiah God tells the reason why these things were going to happen to the nation of Judah.

Today we no longer have visions or prophecies of future events because we were given his Word (bible) that tells us what is going to happen in the future.

Theres many today who claim they have visions or can give prophecies, may I say as kindly as I can, their liars.

Thats about as kindly as I can say it,  these modern day prophets or visionaries reject what scripture says,  those things were only given to Old Testament saints and to the Apostles. After the bible was completed, so were visions and prophecies, as well as tongues which ended also.

Isaiah is told that when a nation rejects God one of the first things that will happen is evil men will over run their nation Ch. 1

Morality in our country seems to be almost non-existent, our government is just as immoral and corrupt as any communist country ever was.  They lie and lie to the American people, I’ve come to the point that if a politician opens their mouth, their lying.

We have the killing of babies and the elderly,  drive by shootings and every evil thing one can think of, but God said in Isaiah that when a nation rebels against God, this is the outcome.

Secondly Isaiah says your nation will be taken over by foreigners,  our borders are a war zone, literally, theres even a sheriff down in Arizona that says we might have to abandon certain cities that are being taken over by drug warlords while our pathedic excuse of a president does nothing, but invite more illegals here.

But again, God says these things will happen to a nation that rebels against him.

We have Muslims building mosques everywhere,  may I say, that every nation where Muslims began to build, they eventually invaded,  then slaughtered the people who weren’t Muslim.

The twin towers was a warning shot, the Mosque that they want to build is a monument to their defeating America, the Dems who want it built are either Muslim themselves or sympathizers, or they know this will help in destroying America.

We have to remember the bible says there will be a one world religion,  which I believe will be Muslim,  and that it will be headed by a world ruler, who is Satan.

If you look at scripture, its all coming together to the end of the church age,  people need to come to Jesus Christ and get saved before its too late.

We think this country has lost its mind, and the truth is, it has,  their following Satan who is getting ready to take his place as this worlds ruler, if only for a short time.

Even Irans president  IWANTA JIHAD has said that their waiting for their great prophet who will destroy anyone who is not a Muslim

America needs to return to God,  don’t delay,  theres not much time left,  with every Mosque being built, means we’re that much closer to Armageddon.

Beginning in a new church takes allot of time and energy. We’ve been remodeling our little cabin out back of the church and we have everything ready for the carpet and next week the new roof should be started.

Its been a pleasure being apart of our new church the past few months. We seem to fit like a glove, their already learning to pick on us.

Thats always a sure fire way of knowing that their beginning to care and accept us as their friends.

Pastoring should be a relationship with his congregation, not a dictatorship,  or him being the boss or the one who makes all the decisions.

A pastor and his wife ought to be friends with the congregation as well as the shepard.

Theres too many in the ministry that treat the church as their own personal business, or their own bank account.

They expect the congregation to believe exactly as he & his wife do and if they don’t then their not very spiritual.

God really isn’t interested in having churches full of spiritual giants, how do I know that?  Because no where in scripture does he say that everyone should be.

Instead what I find is him telling us to become mature and humble servants.

Thats what we’re missing today, Christians (including pastors) who will admit their sinners and struggle with sin, but who are thankful for Gods grace and his forgiveness.

We have so many today who act as though they never sin or have a bad thought and everything they do is perfect, their children and their spouse walk on water.

Give me a break.

The only one who ever walked on this earth without sin,  was Christ

What we need in the church is more servants,  theres allot of work to be done, and very few servants willing to work.

Thank God for his grace, we are a people who need it, because we all fail so often

You never know how the Lord is going to work. I thought that I would never be the pastor of a church again, I thought I would just fill in, do my blog that I haven’t had much time for and just attend a church somewhere.

Last week, I was voted in at Faith Bible (the same name of my last church, different towns) as their pastor. My head is still swirling a bit.

Tomorrow Sunday July 18th will be my first sermon in my new role, I will keep working and commute there until the Lord shows us what he wants us to do, move there or whatever.

I’m excited to be able to preach on a consistent basis and hopefully the Lord will bless us and the church with growth both spiritually and in numbers.

They’re great people who have accepted us in with the love of the Lord and  we hope we can take the things we’ve learned over the past few years and apply it to this church.

The Board has been very honest and open about the church which I appreciate, nothing hidden or you find out the Sunday that you start of problems.

They also have a large building separate from the church that will make a great house for us to stay in on weekends where we can spend some time with them and get to know the area.

Gods been good to us, and I’m thankful we serve a God who never leaves us and is willing to use us if we’re willing to be used.

God can use you too, if your willing, all you have to do is ask him, and watch what doors he will open.
