This has been on my mind a lot lately

  So, let's get real. I've been thinking a lot about Christians and politics. As I was growing up I remember hearing "never mix the two!" Well, today I'm wondering why? Did Jesus mix politics with himself? Did anyone in the Bible take a stand politically? Let's find out... In the book of Daniel there were three Hebrew young men that were prisoners or servants of a King... politics..right? So, when that King asked them to do something contrary to their solemn beliefs they disobeyed. But I thought you were supposed to obey the laws of the land. You are, unless they are against what God has clearly spoken to you. These three young men had one foundation. "Love the Lord with all your hear, soul, mind, body and strength." "Don't put anything before your love for God." They weren't promised protection or an easy life, but they had a strong conviction. They told the King, respectfully that they recognized his authority in his kingdom, but

Even if You Don't...

This has to be one of the most important blogs I've written. Please read it carefully and prayerfully. It's easy to believe in righteousness when everything is going the way we expect it to, when it makes sense. But what about when it doesn't make sense? What if all the promises of God seem to fall around us? Can we believe when things go wrong? There's one scripture that has been repeated over and over again in the Christian news. "There's another in the fire." Those three men said this before they were thrown into the fire... "If He does not, we will still not bow."  Can we do that? The enemy has a plan. He wants us to take up arms and fight the same way the world does in anger. Do we have reason to be angry? Has wrong been done on every front? Is the Devil on the loose and speaking very loudly? Is he mocking God and us? Yes, absolutely! Someone said this today and it made complete sense... "Do not let them provoke you!" You see the D

The purpose of this blog is to pose a question....what can't you buy? Yes, I know, money can't buy me love...lol.  Can money buy loyalty? Can fear buy loyalty? Can bullying change a persons heart?  It's not an understatement to say that I've been concerned for this nation. I've looked back through history and seen many nations, if not all nations bow to "power", the rich, the most violent or loudest voices. It's frightening to know that the nation of Germany, that was once a Christian nation fell to become a nation that exterminated Jews (God's chosen people). How did they get that far away from their foundation? What we are facing now is not new. What are we facing? Let me be clear. I am not into conspiracy theories, I am a good listener. If you listen you will find out the intent of a person's heart and actions. So, what have I been hearing?  The agenda.... 1) Kill babies even up to and after they are born. 2) Take away every "American&q

What?

  My following statements are NOT about who I voted for; that’s nobody’s business.  I am angry for only one reason. Illegal activity in my United States. We can not wait two more years and act like all is well. It is not well! We’ve had a move of God. Now we need a move of the people.  Church.. activate! Meet at city hall, the courts snd not only pray, but object. Object to lawlessness. Impose the laws of the land. Investigate this farce.  It’s up to us. Nobody is coming to fight for us. Pennsylvania.   We can’t come help your people rebuild just to see it torn down again.  California we can’t restore your beauty while you allow crap to happen in the most beautiful part of our country.  It’s on us. Gather together and insist that justice be done. Wake up America. We are in danger.  Who ever wins justly will be president ... justly. Demand justice !  Churches stop allowing these terrorists to keep you locked out of your churches. Take the doors off the church and go outside . Nobody is

Wake up sleeper!

  Have you been in the same coma I’ve been in? It’s unbearable.   I had a talk with the Lord today. Before “the plague “ the songs “Rattle” and “The Blessing “ were written and recorded. You can find them on YouTube under Elevation worship.  I’ve struggled with this concept mentally. I’ve asked myself “Did God get it wrong?”  “Are these songs the Word of the Lord? Didn’t he see this coming?” The words of these songs speak the heart of God. They are from the mouth of God, scripturally. But the noise of this world is screaming fear and lies. So what else is new? I realize that the devil has been practicing his tactics for eons.  There’s nothing new.  Or is there? Today I saw something “new “ not in the devils tactics but in the reaction of the church and the American citizen. We are uniting! We are humbling ourselves on our knees in victory, we’re not begging or pleading , we’re standing from our knees.  I don’t know if other “Christian “ nations were aware that this battle is both natur

Food for Thought

Let me say first that the only thing that will keep you out of Heaven is not recognizing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. But I found this interesting... Who and when did Jesus not forgive by his own name ? He said the following words: New International Version Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up his clothes by casting lots." I noticed this the other day. If you look throughout the New Testament life of Jesus you see him constantly say, "I forgive you." Look up the references. It's amazing.He also did not plainly give his forgiveness to the Scribes or Pharisees, because they did know better or should have known Him. In His humanity....we forget that part. He was God and  man . Was He God and Man at the Cross? Yes. The sacrifice would not have been enough unless God himself shed his own blood. WOW!! But on the cross...  Take note of who He was asking God to forgive and what they were doing at th

Which side of the stone are you on?

  An odd title, right? I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my relationship with Christ lately. During my contemplation I got a picture in my mind. I hope you can see it as clearly as I did.  I imagined myself in the tomb of Jesus, after the stone was rolled away.  Meaning, that I recognize the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and I have a very personal relationship with Jesus.  But...I was still inside the tomb waiting for him to come back. It was safe there but it was lonely. I was (am) born again, but I’m standing on the wrong side of the stone. The opposite side of that stone is frightening. There are people there, expectations, responsibility and relationships. I’ve heard these words so many times  “Jesus is enough”.  I’ve written several blogs about my version of those words. However this picture clarified my thinking about the importance of relationships.  After the cross and resurrection, before he ascended to Heaven, he did not say “ ok  you all (y'all for

Does Jesus Hate Rich People?

  Growing up I heard the  exchange between Jesus and (in Mark 10)“the rich young ruler” recounted many different ways. Doesn't the Bible say shortly after this conversation:"How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the Kingdom of God”... Imagine my surprise as I heard a very different opinion in a message today (10/04/20) at Church on the Move in Broken Arrow from Pastor Ethan Vance.  In verses 17-23 the rich young ruler  ran to Jesus. He desperately bowed down at Jesus feet and asks , “What shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” Jesus replied by rehearsing the law, which the rich young ruler already knew.  The man replied , “ I’ve done all of that since I was a child.” (My wording). He wanted more than he already knew. He realized something was missing. I don’t think he realized he was talking to the one who came to bring us what was missing: relationship with himself.  Throughout the years I heard this story recounted with the instructions “don’t let wealth ow
