Reminder to you all. Run your virus scan because people that are mad do dum things. Not just in the problems we might be having in computers things happen. I recommend you do a virus check one time a day. People that spend ther time we do online can get nailed. Just do not think about it get off the net and run the scans. I also ask you all to run stuff to check for all the yucky stuff out there. Trust me and ten years online you got to run things and protect your systems all the time.
I did some thinking tonight about a matter of the Pastor and how much authority he ought have on his church. Is it right to go to a pastor and tell him he got this wrong in a sermon or do we have no rights in this regard. I had a talk with a friend last night that told me that he is to submit to the pastors of his church. I asked him his thoughts on Warren and he said that he did not ever read Warren and I asked him why not. Being the pastor of a local church has some bible commands to it.
1 Teach the bible correctly
2 Fight for the truth and Gods purpose
3 Pray for the lost and lead the church in that
4 Teach the Ladies to fulfill the role they have in the home and church.
5 Select the leaders of the church
6 Recognize error in the church and make the flock aware of it
7 Always be in study for himself and be ready to refute forms of human error
8 Teach the bible commands boldly and teach Gods Truth
9 Be a model of a Godly man so others will follow
10 Read the bible and explain it publicly
11 Be growing in the Christian life
12 Be full of grace and compassion when one need confronting of sins
13 Make sure all widows are taken care of
14 Honor the faithful workers of the church
15 Choose people to lead who are Godly
16 Stay in shape so he can serve without health problems
17 Teach the people to discern the truth and lies
18 flee love of money
19 Fight for the true faith
20 be rich in good works
21 Guard the bible
I find ths list and will email the source to all that ask. Let me take a couple and comment. We are in a way to study all the sermons the Pastor preaches to us. Take notes and when you can you need to check the bible with his notes and learn them. We need to be under a pastor or someone in the body so we are properly fed the word and are able to feed others the bible. If a pastor is wrong we need to go to the pastor and ask him for more. I have done that with my pastors in many things and most of the time they are good to get back to me on things. We are also to take good care of the pastor as he takes good care of us. We need to pay him a wage. We need to protect him from others lies and we need to honor him in the hard work they do preparing sermons and counseling folks. A good pastor is a man that gives goods Bible advises.
Here is a thing of a website.
“Christians are never told to blindly submit to a church leader. If a Pastor strays from the Bible, his listeners should not follow him. (Acts 17:10-11) If the Pastors lifestyle and ministry does not match up to the guidelines given in 1Timothy 3:1-7 in character, behavior, and morality, believers are not under scriptural obligation to follow that leadership.”
(3) IT IS A LOVING AUTHORITY--THE AUTHORITY OF A FATHER (1 Th. 2:7-11). The pastor is to have a godly, loving, tender, sacrificial consideration for the welfare of the people. His rule is not to be an overbearing, self-serving type of rule. He rejoices when his children mature and stand on their own feet.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PASTORING AND LORDING“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock” (1 Peter 5:1-3)Pastors have real authority in the church, but it is a different kind of authority than that exercised by worldly lords. Note some of the differences as follows:Scriptural pastors love the flock and lead by compassion, but lords typically despise compassion; they don’t encourage; they merely demand (1 Thess. 2:7-8).Scriptural pastors lead by example, but lords merely make demands with little or no awareness that they must live what they demand (1 Pet. 5:3).Scriptural pastors know that the flock is not their own, but lords feel that they own the people and thus can control them according to their own will (1 Pet. 5:2, 3 “flock of God” “God’s heritage”).Scriptural pastors care more about the welfare of the saints than their own profit, but lords rule for personal gain and are not afraid to abuse the people (1 Pet. 5:2).Scriptural pastors are humble and do not consider themselves greater than the flock, but lords exalt themselves high above the people (1 Pet. 5:2 “among you”; 1 Pet. 5:5).Scriptural pastors aim to build up the people and free them to do God’s will, but lords want to control the people and hold them down (Eph. 4:11-12; 2 Cor. 10:8). The Greek word translated “destruction” in 2 Cor. 10:8 is also translated “pulling down” (2 Cor. 10:4).“But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:42-45).
THE CHURCH MEMBER’S RELATIONSHIP TO THE PASTORSGENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES1. RESPECT AND LOVE THEM (1 Th. 5:12-13). “And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves”2. OBEY THEIR TEACHING AS THEY FOLLOW THE BIBLE AND AS THEY SEEK TO BUILD UP THE CHURCH FOR THE SERVICE OF THE LORD (Eph. 4:11-12). “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”3. FOLLOW THEIR EXAMPLES. “Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation” (Heb. 13:7). “Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock” (1 Pet. 5:3). This shows the importance of God’s standards for pastors. If the church leaders do not lead godly lives and have godly homes, they cannot be an example to the flock and God’s work becomes corrupted.5. PRAY FOR THEM. “Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you” (2 Thess. 3:1). See also Heb. 13:18; Eph. 6:18-19; Col. 4:2-3.6. PROVIDE FOR THEIR PHYSICAL NEEDS (1 Tim. 5:17,18). “Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.” “A church that is penurious with a pastor violates the Scripture. Rarely does such a church manifest spiritual power or progress. The principles revealed in 2 Cor. 9:6-10 are worthy of consideration” (Paul Jackson, The Doctrine and Administration of the Church).
Question
This question is concerning elders’ authority or pastors’ authority over the flock of God. I’m a visitor here and I’m looking to get some biblical and spiritual training. In making a big decision on where I might want to go to get this training, I feel it’s important to seek good, godly counsel. An elder and a pastor is certainly an appropriate person to go to.
My question then is how much liberty does a pastor, an elder have in advising us when or where we should go to get this training?
Answer
I believe that as far as authority, the only authority any pastor or elder has is the Word of God. When you step beyond the Word of God, you’ve overstepped the bounds of your authority. I have no authority, if you’re in my congregation, to say to you, “Go here and get this training. Go there. I command you to...”--I have no authority to do that. That is overstepping my bounds. I am nothing more and nothing less than an instrument by which God makes known to you his revelation. That’s my role.
Now, I may say to you, “Given the circumstances, I would recommend this because it appears from what I know about that and what I know about you that this would be a good choice,” but that is not authority; that is counsel. My authority stops when I close the page of this book, and then all I’m doing is giving you counsel. You can consider that counsel as to its inherent value and make your own decision. But I have no authority to command you, beyond the pages of the Word of God.
That very point is where pastor's and elder's leadership becomes out-of-bounds and abusive and overbearing. God never intended that. The best we can do is give wise counsel. That’s why the Old Testament says, “In much counsel, there is wisdom.” The point is there. If God wanted us to just listen to one guy, He would say, “If you want to know what to do, go ask the elder.” But He says, “Get much counsel and you’ll get wisdom.” So I believe that our authority stops where scripture ends and then the best we can do is try to give wise counsel based upon our best understanding of the facts.

I am saved and ion my way to Jesus
I became a foller of Jesus in the spring of my 7th grade year. On the radio the Lord was presented to me as the Person knocking on my hearts door. I did not grow up in a single home but many foster homes. One family knew Jesus the others did not know the Lord. So in my 5th grade year a family moved in to our neighborhood and they knew Jesus. It took me a couple of years of their witness and the Lord moved and like I said Jesus became my savior. My life in the Lord has gone in seasons. I had a teacher in the 9th grade that lived for the Lord and helped me start reading the bible. I moved out of my home to the Saint Cloud area and I found a gooid church. I have gone to my church for 13 years and know a lot more than ever. I read the bible every day and seek the Lord with all of my life. My life chapter in the bible is Psalms 103 where the Lord calls me to Bless his name at all times and the chapter is all on the Lord and the things I can do when I seek him. Also I love the verse in James to draw neat to the Lord.
In the summer of 2001 I went to a event where the Lord called me to make him total lord of my life. I do not think I was unsaved but I was not living for Jesus as I knew I needed to. Since the Lord has taught me how to live for him on a day by day walk. Jesus has helped me by leading to me to great bible teaching and great friends that help me grow in my walk. I am always in line to seek the Lord and I am learning so much.

I listened to a Mac tape on this passage and I feel there are some awesome points here I am going to work this and do my bible time on this tape. I know I am on mathew but I liked some great truths from the verses.
the Relationship of Believers to Each Other
12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
Note this is a command to me I am to love others as Jesus Loved me. He loves me so much he died for me. I ought to be free to die for all the brothers and sisters in the faith. I ought to listen to the things they ask and then do them. If I do not then I am breaking Jesus words to me. It is a major thing not to Love others. No room for hate.
13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
Jesus here I think defines Love because Jesus is total love. I am not one to comprehend the Love that dies for me. It is amazing that Jesus gave his life. He is the total package in reguards to love. God is love and defines it. I think it is cool that here Jesus calls me his friend. I recall in the early days before I understood the Lord I found a book in the storage shed at the Rolffes and it had this passage in it. Jesus wants to be a friend to me and the proof is he dies for me. He is Love and he is my greatest Lover of Shadman and He defines Love and proved his love on the cross.
14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
If love Jesus, I am going to obey his word. Is this proof. I think it is a sign on Loving Jesus that I obey. Jesus came into me and he is the power that I need to obey him. Jesus calls me to give all to him and I do not obey him. If I sin I am to confess as soon as possible.
15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17 These things I command you, that you love one another.

Jesus here I think defines Love because Jesus is total love. I am not one to comprehend the Love that dies for me. It is amazing that Jesus gave his life. He is the total package in reguards to love. God is love and defines it. I think it is cool that here Jesus calls me his friend. I recall in the early days before I understood the Lord I found a book in the storage shed at the Rolffes and it had this passage in it. Jesus wants to be a friend to me and the proof is he dies for me. He is Love and he is my greatest Lover of Shadman and He defines Love and proved his love on the cross.
14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
If love Jesus, I am going to obey his word. Is this proof. I think it is a sign on Loving Jesus that I obey. Jesus came into me and he is the power that I need to obey him. Jesus calls me to give all to him and I do not obey him. If I sin I am to confess as soon as possible.
15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17 These things I command you, that you love one another.

Ricks space I give this to Pastor Art for his awesome preaching
http://www.purposedrivenlife.com/thebook.aspx
http://www.saddleback.com/flash/believe2.html
Rick warren worte a book called the Puipose driven life that has sold tons of copies. I read his book and I want to write about the time I read the first part. I read chapter one in a time of depression. In the book Rick talks about the meaning of life first and how God made us to know him and love him. I do not know where my book is at this point but I am still going to talk it out. In the book the purposes are as Follows.
We were planned for God’s pleasure, so your first purpose is to offer real worship.
We were formed for God’s family, so your second purpose is to enjoy real fellowship.
We were created to become like Christ, so your third purpose is to learn real discipleship.
We were shaped for serving God, so your fourth purpose is to practice real ministry.
We were made for a mission, so your fifth purpose is to live out real evangelism.
Real worship is to give your being over to Jesus ansd trust him as your personal king. We have a new King and a father that made us to be his alone but we need others to follow Jesus with so the second thing is we are made to fellowship with each others. We need a good church to help us to grow to be like Jesus. Next we need to become followers of Jesus. He is a kind loving king that wants us to be kind and not to harm anyone. He alone does that in the end and we do not need to help him. We are shaped to serve the Lord with gifts so Rick wants people to know the gifts the Lord gtave so we are able to use them for Jesus. My gift is writing and reading the bible and that is what I do every night. I listen to tons of sermons and I read and study this Bible every night sometimes for hours and hours. I am working on my gift. I am told by people they want to read me so I made a blog when I was really asked to. We are made to share the Lord Jesus with others and we lack that. Got a friend that passes tracts to tons of people. He is going to be a evaqngleist and tell this land the Lord is near. Jac k goes out to malls and wins them using the law. Paul goes out and reaches folk in the navy yards in Chicago and James goes and knock on doors to win the lost.
Rick warren does not take a dime from his church or his book. He is giving up all his cash because he does not want the money.

If you read anything read his talk here. It hit everything I said for the last week and I agree with what he said. It just shows this man is a truth teller and wants the best for the body of Christ.
Here are some wakos to show you I am wacko and part of the new world order

Ok I want you all to go to church and not get worked up. I am just putting my views and I think I have a ton more on rick
I want the church to become the church is is ment to be
Seek the Lord while he might be found. Hum Does trashing his worker Billy6 graham and Rick warren without a cause except the fact they work with the pope seeking? Is name calling and telling people they need to return to a chfruch that teaches not to forgive seeking the Lord? Is telling myself that music is not right seeking the Lord? Is speading David Hunts fake stuff where the new world order returning to the bible? Note are not. We must never judge people because if we vdo we are in serious trouble with the bible. I said music is ok and rock and roll is ok. I am going to talk about dancing and praise it and matter of fact show people here that shaking hips is a good thing to do even in church. Is that wrong? It is not wrong to dance or drink a beer with a meal or even smoke a cigar from time to time. It is a sin to not accept the Catholic Church and feed people. It is not libal and if you say it is you’re a heretic. It is not a sin to confront lists given to friends that do not have anything to do with the bible and demand comply or we are not going to allow you to worship or if you mess up you would have to bye a cab when your income is below yours. Matter of truth it is bogus to tell me not to teach the bible because I am going to teach Calvinism to a new brother and the pastor does not agree. And when you tell me the Billy Graham people are wrong you offend my pals. If you email people so much your harassing them and that is sin and sending more than one comment on a site to a person you banned from emailing your self is trashy. SO I want people to return to Jesus and pray for church so Jesus can use them. I want pray fpr every Baptist Church is saint cloud and matter of fqact every church in St Cloud. I start with reoenting and seeking the Lord Jesus and asking for every wall to fall in this area. I want to ask Lord for the body to live as one even if we need to drop things that are dear. Lord I ask for healing in the area and I ask you to allow us to work side by side to reach the lost. I ask you father for First Baptist to work with Bethham and for Granite to wirk with salem and Good news to work with Grace. Oh for a day when Northland could fellowship with Faith and St. Augs can reach out to the Salvation army. Father God I plead for yourf ogiveness for and comment I made that would not bring Joy fellowshipping with Love of Christ or any church in this town together. Father make your kingdom one and I ask you to bring this city a new faith in you. One that brings Jesus to people in a fresh way. Lord make us one. I pray for all the people at my former church that they will make you famous and to make Jesus glory so even a JW would see Jesus. I love you Jesus amen
Another story from World War II is that of a group of American soldiers who lost their buddy in battle. They carried his body to the only cemetery in the area, which happened to be Catholic. When the priest was told that the dead man was not Catholic he said, “I am sorry, but he cannot be buried here.” The disheartened and discouraged soldiers decided to do what they thought was next best, and during the night they buried their comrade just outside the cemetery fence. They returned the next morning to pay their last respects, but they could not find a grave outside the fence. When they told the priest of their quandary, he said, “The first part of the night I stayed awake sorry for what I told you. And the second part of the night I spent moving the fence.”
When Jesus Christ broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, He moved the fence, in order that in Himself He might make the two into one new man. No person who comes to Him will be excluded, and no person who is included will be spiritually distinct from any other. In His flesh points specifically to Jesus’ death on the cross, through which He nullified, annulled, made of no effect, and invalidated (abolished, katargeō) the feud, discord, and alienation (enmity, echthra), thus establishing peace, as already indicated in verse 14.[1]

World like stuff
Series on Worldliness has been a good one at best. I am going to continue on it
· PATRONIZATION OF BUSINESSES-shopping, Disneyland, long distanceproviders, restaurants
I did not agree with the boycott of Disney and I am not sure I am right. They do have days for Gay folks and that is sad. But is boycotting them going to change them. I doubt it. I do think boycotting can be good if the people do it. I do not like Wal-Mart because of the things they do for the people are not right. But the Lord does ask us to obey our masters and we need to honor Jesus in that. But I kind off think going for Sunday dinner is a bad thing because it makes people work on the Lords day. I feel all ought to shut down on Sundays so we all had time for others in Church. I wish I had a place to worship on Sunday night now I listen to John Macarthur live from grace. It ought to be a day to love on Jesus and each other. I got no ideas why boycotts hit phone companies. I am not a boycotter I have a Muslim running the milk place and I drink his stuff. Wonder if it is goat milk. Porn shops are not a place I go. SO I boycott them. I do not shop at places that sell porn if I can help it. I do shop at baseball card shops and in the Old new life spot in Saint Cloud I found one I like.
· BIRTH CONTROL Yes no sex outside of marriage ever. Best kind there is you can get rid of aids. It is never ok to have sex without the ring. Within marriage that is your private thing. Kids are a blessing of the Lord. So have all the kids you want. Hey free farm help. I like big families and honor them. Do not have kids and get money from the government. That is sick really because they give it. If you are reading this and have had sex outside of marriage I want to let you know Jesus loves you and he wants you to come to him. He died on the cross for all sins and he wants you to come to him and ask him inside your heart. Jesus died and shed his blood so you can be saved. Admit to Jesus you are a sinner and your fouled up. Believe his blood can save you and confess to him. Repent and turn from your sin and he will forgive you. If you want help e mail me and a trained pastor will get a hold of you. I am not trained but I can find a place that is. 1 800 759 0700 is a good call to make.
· BIBLE TRANSLATIONS Paul Varnum and I were in a car. Paul went to a school for bible and had studied this topic. I asked him what he thinks of the bible. He told me the King James Bible was a good bible for a time but was out of date. I went to a church and in a meeting I said they ought to use the new king James bible. I was told not to speak in the meeting. I read many places online how the new bibles were not good and how the king James was the only bible. I went to a meeting here n town at a Baptist church and I took my niv. Night after night when the man would talk Greek per velum the niv was quoted. I have friends that read the kjv and Jesus used it. I used to read the NIV and I no longer do I read the NKJV. Macarthur bible is done in that and I like it. I also like the NLV. It is ok to read any version of Gods word. Some are not the best but God is the king of the book so he uses all brands makes and models. · GIVING Tithing is not my thing. If you tithe good for you but it is not what is the rules. I think it is gift to Jesus and I give but no one knows how much. I think the locak church is where you give. 10 percent is a good start. I also think missions is good and I think world hunger is to. I am shocked how little the body fails in hunger. We need to feed people to get them saved. If you do not feed them they will never ask for help in accepting Jesus. My business gives tons of bread to the poor. We got to feed people if we want to be saved. If your church does not feed give to a food shelf. If you read this page and do not give to feed shame on you and get on the net and give the money to feed the poor. I think that is far more important than reading this blog. If you have give. If you need ask a Christian and if they do not give then shame on them.

. I want to know what do you want anon because if its reasonable I will do it. I am opening my comments so you might post on what you want, If it is within my power I will do it. I open my comments because I want to know how I can serve you. I want to be open minded here. I am willing to put your comments back on somehow and to allow you to be respected. If you want me to conform and honor the music I could think it over. If you want me to not talk about things not agreeable let me think it over. If you want me to remove things make a list and let me think about it. In return I ask you to leave Ron and Tamra alone and allow them to worship in their own way.
Please lets get this out of the way

Shadmans thoughts on things in the gray areas
I have to issue a warning. One broke rules and has lost every post she had on this blog. I as the king on this site conferred with my people and one was offended and it was stumbling block. If you try to post bad thing are going to happen and your NEVER going to get on my site. I also warn you I will not allow email or calling until the Lord tells me to. I am in this to argue and I am not going to. I am doing what I am doing to reach people and if one does not like it I ask them to stay off my page and get out of our lifes. It has to stop when I am told how they try to get people to go to church where things like forgiveness were mocked.
Spring is soon the Twins are in training camp and that is good. We got to pick up some more good power behind the plate. KI am not liking the folks wanting Mauer to be Kirby. I want Joe to be a Joe and add to the team what needs. WE ARE LOOKING FOR A STARTER THAT IS LEFT HANDED AND WE WILL FIND HIM. It is also key to trade our QB and draft a better one.
Lession
Here are my views on the issues that are in the gray area. C
· PARENTING I am not a parent yet. I really cannot know what to say. I think many abuse the kids when they beat them and if you beat up your kids and spank them to much your scum and not saved. I think kids need to have some spankings but I know of a friend who was at a person’s home and the kid was crying and the other parent said they had a spanker to take care of the problem. I hate people that hit kids. It makes us scared of you and as a person that had it happen I wish the kids never had spanking and abuse. I do not have a relationship with my folks and Id give my arm to make them love me. Mom died and after that no one knew me well enough to love me like mommy. Jesus is the only love that comes close to my moms. No one will ever come anywhere close to mommas love. Grandma died to. It is sad but I grew up in peoples homes who might of loved me. Mom and dad never give up kids and love them like it is the last day of life. Never hit them out of anger and pick fights out. When my dad cried it hurt me. Bob I love you, Jan I love you,. We fighted so much as I grew up but I love my mom and dad.
· DATING I find people play games and ruin lifes over gals. I am not into the game of getting dumped and love because I got hurt many times that made me want to hurt myself. I am for dating in a way to marry and nothing else. I think love is a game and I am not going to make a game of love. Pray for a mate and he will give you aone in time.
· EDUCATION OF CHILDREN-home, private, public
Home is ok if you have a four year degree. Christian school is a good thing if the school is right and not going to teach things you want. I want to teach my kids on sex in my own way. I want to teach the bible to my kids because there is junk out there. I want my church to teach my kids right and wrong but they do not teach at my church but the one in Los Angles will have school. Grace Community Church is my place. John is a grat bible teacher and the tapes I have fill me. I stopped Sunday nights and stay and listen to Grace on the net. They do not have a dress code and they focus on the cross in worship. I like the mix of hymns and praise songs there to. And the pastor is good to. Matter of fact if you want a tape I will give them to you and all you want. I got your comment tonight. I am going to pray to the lord. I can and read any comment and will get the messages to the Ron man. I will read your comments so keep posting but I want to have this place for seekers. If a demand is there like I get readers that want you on I will allow you back on. If you want to be a guest blogger meaning you get a page a week on my blog I want you to think about that. I love talking and I want to work something out for you to be able to do. I want to allow anyone to post but when people are offended I need to allow folks to feel safe here. It was getting to be where you would discredit good people and it seemed to me you need to get you’re a issue settled that people wanted to leave a church and you have not loved them and every thing you were doing was to get them to come to your side. They wanted it to end and I honored them and that is the reason I had to erase your posts. My blog is not a place of condemning and going on how this is wrong and that is wrong. It is a place for my friends to see what is going on in shad’s life. Shadman thoughts not a place to trash people like Billy Graham. Also I had asked you not to email me and posting was the thing you used to try to overcome things. I just had to set rules and when people called me and told me they were offended I took it as the Lord saying to do this his way. I left the church on my own and to come back would bring me pain I am not willing to endure. They want me off the net and I am never going to stop because I am called to reach folks. I am more than willing to set you up on your own blog and help if you ask.

I love talking and I want to work something out for you to be able to do. I want to allow anyone to post but when people are offended I need to allow folks to feel safe here. It was getting to be where you would discredit good people and it seemed to me you need to get you’re a issue settled that people wanted to leave a church and you have not loved them and every thing you were doing was to get them to come to your side. They wanted it to end and I honored them and that is the reason I had to erase your posts. My blog is not a place of condemning and going on how this is wrong and that is wrong. It is a place for my friends to see what is going on in shad’s life. Shadman thoughts not a place to trash people like Billy Graham. Also I had asked you not to email me and posting was the thing you used to try to overcome things. I just had to set rules and when people called me and told me they were offended I took it as the Lord saying to do this his way. I left the church on my own and to come back would bring me pain I am not willing to endure. They want me off the net and I am never going to stop because I am called to reach folks. I am more than willing to set you up on your own blog and help if you ask.
rules
I have rights on my page. I am going to allow comments but if I want to I can flip this into a place where comments can be taken away. I kind of am God here on my pace meaning I do as I please and if you do not like it to darn bad. It has come to a point where I am still allowing your imput. I ought make one rule you cannot attack each other. This is no longer going to be allowed here. If you write a comment and call a name your off this page. It means I will remove your comments. If 2 of you do it you all lose the comment right and I place comment I want and your comments will be looked at and sceened by my commitee and none of you are on that commitee. And I am not afraid to tell you who is going to see and make the calls here. I am the boss on here and I have a friend that takes a look here and makes calls. I am not going to say who that is and none of gthe commenters are him. I want good comments and I choose to not censor because we need a heathy talk and open talk on the topic here. But if you choose to bring anyone down here you forfit your rights to have comments. Stay on topic and that topic is music and worldlyness. If you comment about lets say billy graham or rick warren your off topic and I cut the comments. I make rules and calls here. This is a open place unless you make it so I close it. And I will do what I want to without warmingand if you make comments that cut someone down or make my friends look bad you will be kicked off without warning and you will be asked to never talk to me or my readers.

Here is a list of passages for us to consider in the worldliness saga. I gave a couple of hours of looking I honestly did not find this topic easy. I am making lots of statements on my thinking and to be honest I cannot say I am sure what to read into the following. I am going to go though the words her of God and maybe this will help. I want your thoughts on all of this.
"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate theone, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one,and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."Matthew 6:24, KJV
Ok you want to serve the Lord you cannot serve money. People say that they want to make lots of cash and not think of the Lord. I think you need to be willing to give anything for the Lord Jesus. We are not to love anything over Jesus and if we do we ought to change that. If I love Jesus nothing else is going to matter cause your going to be in him forever. How is my love for Jesus? It is my love for Jesus that I am going to be looked at.
"If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: butbecause ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you outof the world, therefore the world hateth you."John 15:19, KJV
We are not a part of the things of the world. That is a good thing because one day Jesus is going to burn everything in the world up. So the first thing I think is finding the things that burns and do not love them. All the things are going to burn are with nothing and the things that burn. So what is going to burn? Money is going to burn. Sex is going to burn. Things burn like the new car and the nice home. If it is going to burn do not love it.
Here Jesus chose you to not be in the world so why do we act like we need to be in the world. Why do we spend time on things that are going to burn when Jesus wants to give things you can keep and one of the things you keep is what you gave to his work? Like church or missions or to the poor ect. If you’re saved by the way and do not feed the lost food they are not going to care about your message. I want to get into homeless work somehow as a mission because Jesus told me that is what I to do.
"And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for thefashion of this world passeth away."1 Corinthians 7:31, KJV
"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at thethings which are not seen: for the things which are seen aretemporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."2 Corinthians 4:18, KJV
We have to live for a unseen Lord. I wonder if we comprehend this truth. We live for a person no one has seen and we have a book that all think that is a revealing of God. Many folks do not get this is all you need to grow. We think it is something in the world we need but it is not. World is passing away and that is the truth. Culture is passing only the saved are moving to Jesus. We got to get them won to Jesus.

The baptist are fighting but lost
g In January of this year, Jack Graham, president of the Southern
Baptist Convention, said it is wrong to "get all uptight about the
kinds and styles of music" in the church. Speaking at the Mississippi
Evangelism Conference in Tupelo, Graham said: "I don't care if you're
singing Southern gospel, classical hymns or contemporary songs in
praise and worship--if it's about Jesus, I get excited about it"
(AgapePress, Jan. 31, 2003). He said he is tired of the "worship
wars" and that it is time to stop debating music and worship styles.
Apparently Graham would not have any walls of separation in regard to
music. The only danger that he sees is the danger of division.
I have some questions for Pastor Graham.
Shouldn't we analyze what "Jesus" or what "spirit" or what "gospel"
the music is presenting (2 Cor. 11:1-4), and by so doing, doesn't
that create divisions and disturbances in the churches? Are you
saying that such divisions and troubles are wrong, even though the
Bible commands us to do that very thing?
Cloud I went over this. Music is the first thing people divide over in thhe church this day. And the worldly thig is a crock. Bible stands silent on this thing you like to say. Matter of fact your in sin if you keep it up. Love for good music is not a sin. Bapitists and extremes ones go to that. Most other Christians do not care what your propaganda
As the Bible contains many warnings against worldliness, is it wrong
for God's people to try to apply those warnings to music? Does that
not result in debate and even division? Is such debate and division
wrong, even though it is the Bible itself that contains those
warnings?
It to me is personal how you apply worldlness. I apply it in my own way. We do not debate this anymore we have our views and they are good. Its so much better to let a family think it over. I am not going to ever come to your side I am going to take your side and gut all its false truths. You mis the messages in the bible on worldlness and I find your stuff rash and wrong.
Similarly, as the Bible contains many warnings about end time
apostasy, is it wrong for God's people to apply those warnings to the
field of Christian music? And does such application not result in
debate and even division? Is such debate and division wrong, then,
even though it is the Bible itself that contains those warnings?
And as the Bible says we are to make a distinction between that which
is spiritual and that which is carnal, that which is holy and that
which is unholy, is it then wrong for God's people to seek to apply
such an important Biblical truth to music?
Yes it is because your stand is not the right one. Fine in your church have a stand but do not make me listen to it. I am not going to stop my music stand and go to your bapitst church because of your stand on music. I am going to run and take my friends with me that have the same mind on this.
I have one more question. If a preacher, having prayed about and
studied the subject earnestly, is convinced that God has led him to
take a stand against certain kinds of music that he believes are
wrong and hurtful to the testimony of Christ and the purity of the
churches, should he keep his mouth shut merely for the sake of peace
and to please those who think the area of music is a non-issue?
Your study is trash to me and my friends. People are hitting this page in record numbers and think I am right on in most of what I am saying. I think Mr C you are not going to win me or my pals over in anything because you’re a

This is a water warning
http://www.sctimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060220/NEWS01/102210001/1009
I go on this blog where I take it. No one can take this away and if your going to try your going to fail. Jesus is giving me more friends that like this and agree with me. Look at this email
Hi Shad - just wanted to let you know I just finished reading some of your
web page info. It is very evident to me that you must have worked hours and
hours on it. And your knowledge of scripture is very admirable. There were
so many sites, I picked a few and ready about so many various topics you had
Researched. This is a great tool for witnesses about you faith, Shad. It
also became very clear to me that you and Jesus have a very special love
relationship. He is your buddy - and there is absolutely nothing you would
not do for Him. Keep up the good work, my friend - and thank you for
inviting me into your 'web page world'. God bless you very mightily - and
- one more thing - remember, Jesus understands about rejection - if anyone
does, He does, for He had the ultimate rejection, when they crucified Him -
so always know - when you feel alone, Jesus really and truly does literally
know just exactly how you feel - with love, Dee
I highly think my friends many tell me this is something they know they get truth. I am getting more readers and that makes me want to get on here and spend more on it. I am as of now a place of open comments. I do screen them and allow all comments on here and hope to keep it up. I want you to make comments and know your going to get on. I got comments on here in which I do not agree with and I read them all and do not think I do not ponder them all tons. I want to think this out and mind you I even take the ones that I do not agree on them but I am going to read them and pray hard for them all. Please comment all you want and as I have thoughts I want to take time to research them. I may not agree tonight but God can change me and does all the time.
Topics tonight
EXTERNAL PERSONAL APPEARANCE-clothes, makeup, jewelry, hair
Much talk on my blog comments on this topic. I have the following thoughts. Clothes do not make one a Christian and you do not have to wear a certain thing to be one. Lets start with church attire. I want to wear clean clothes. I do not think I need a suit to go to church but clean clothes are well. Rick Warren does not wear ties so if I do not fine. I like warren and his Laid back. Hair for me does not matter. Some get into long hair and take verses out of context in the bible. I wear my hair short and I love long hair on gals but I do not think it is a shame for a man to wear long hair or a gal to have her hair short. I know the verse but it is not a verse to take in context. Hair is what ever you want. Makeup for gals is ok I do not use it. I do not care about rings or jewelry. I think the bible is silent on that so iam going to be to
· MUSIC-style, etc. (What is appropriate in church?)
I still am sad over it. Amy Grants trash when she left Gary for Vince. I WAS SAD THAT Sandi Patti left her husband. I read the ccm things for 10 years and I have been to well over 50 Christian concerts. I have seen folks go forward at Carmen shows and walk out changed. I talked to the leader of Petra and at least 10 ccmers. I know the folks that try to make a style evil. It is not. I have debated on this topic many times and I have won them all. I think the bible is not going to condemn any form of music. I know Miles that does a band that most call heavy metal. I say that mildly. I heard the Gospel at a white cross show and I had pastors who listened to Motley Crue. I know the topic and I am not going to fight anyone on it. I listen to all kinds of music and I endorse Christian rock music. In high school a teacher told me she listened to ccm and because of that I became the Christian I am tonight. I do not understaND the anti rock and roll Christians. I know that in parts of this world they sing Amy Grant songs and I have been at a worship service that allowed worship dance. Shaking hips was mildly right. I think God is not concerned with style and he is about content. On this one issue I have left many friends and churches behind. At one church they said DC Talk was being used by Billy graham for a crusade. I have not been to the church for years because they offended me. I met DC Talk and they are very Godly men and have hearts to reach this world. I know the vice Pres of Billy Grahams movie production and known him for 25 years. I have toured the offices and spoke to the people that worked there. I ate lunch there many times. I got movies to prove this. I know about the Billy Graham stuff and I know the people that worked for him and their heart. SO having a rock concert for the kids is one aspect of a ministries that reach billions is a start of their work. BGEA is a high class place that wins so many to Jesus including Paul one of my best friends and Brain. Do not come to this man and tell me they are bad. I read everything I can and I tell you Graham is good and so is music.
I like high sopranos opera singers. I think they are awesome. I think country music is fun to most of which had gospel roots.

WATER IN ST CLOUD IS BAD
BREAKING NEWS: St. Cloud issues water warning

Facts about water from the Minnesota Dept. of HealthSt. Cloud issues water warning By Kari Petrie kpetrie@stcloudtimes.com Published: February 20. 2006 7:16PM - Last updated: February 20. 2006 7:23PMSTORY CHAT (28) REGISTER HERE NOW
The city of St. Cloud issued a drinking water warning Monday evening after finding a possible contamination of the E. coli bacteria, said Utilities Director Ken Robinson.
The warning also affects St. Augusta residents.
Officials say residents should boil their water for one minute before drinking it.
Robinson said he does not believe the contamination is suspicious.
Officials tested the water in several locations in the facility and the tests in the first stages of the treatment came back negative.
Robinson said he expects the water to be back to normal tomorrow.
"We're being very careful," he said.
E. coli can make you sick, especially for people with weakened immune systems like children and the elderly. It can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches or other symptoms.
Robinson said the Water Treatment Facility tests its water daily for bacteria. After receiving positive results on Saturday and Sunday, the city put out an alert as is outlined by the Environmental Protection Agency, he said.
The cause is unknown at this time and the Water Treatment Facility continues to do testing in the facility and in distribution centers. Those results will be made public as soon as they are available, Robinson said.
On Monday evening, no one had reported being sick to health officials.
The presence of fecal coliforms and E. coli in water indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes.

Christian and entertainment
Sometimes on this I never know what I am going to write. I am going to take a trail for a week or whatever. I want to work on the list I found last night and ask some things and see where it goes. I want to say what as Christians ought be in the area and maybe suggest on grey thing what to react. I am going to lay my thoughts out and let the chips fall on both sides. We will not agree on the topics and I want to think the topics over and write my thoughts and then see where you think on the things and then see if I need to change and change things
Here is tonight’s topic and thoughts
ENTERTAINMENT-movies, TV, cards, pool, paintball, computer games, places togo No r rated movies, No shows with junk in them, computer games are not to have shooting in them or fighting. Go places where Jesus can go.
Movies. I like them. I go to them when I am able and I like to see good movies. I love to go for a hour and escape things and see the chacters do the thing they do. I go to all kinds of movies. I love the Back to the Future movies and I like star wars. I went to movies like con air and air force one and love good action. I do not like swearing in the movies and I do not care for the movie that is not telling a good stories. I went to Austin Powers and one of the deacons was there and laughed just as hard as I did on the jokes. I asked a friend in Jesus and she told me go to movies you can take Jesus to. Jesus is there with you. It is not even a sin to go a see a movie. I have been in movies I have walked out of. I have been in some I did not walk out that I should of. I think movies are ok and going to them is good and fun. I have got into more spiritual talk over the Passion of the Christ and some have had my Gospel given to them. IF ONE PERSON GOT SAVED THAT MOVIE IT IS ALL-OK.
TV I watch lots of sports and news. I also like survivor and all are fun. E R is a show I get into and the show brings up morals all the time and they are fun. I love home improvement, clean and funny. I like the dukes of hazard to. SO I do not think a Christian has to not have a TV. If I had a kid they would not watch it till they are older. I won’t let cartoon into my home for kids.
Cards I love crib ridge a card game. Hearts is a good game to. I heard some try to make card to be anti Jesus, which to me is not right. I have been able to fellowship with the non-saved in card games. It is all about getting the gospel to people and playing cards opens doors.
Computer games are allowed to. Play them and witness to friends. Play clean games like Motorcar racing or madden 2006. All good things. I play about 2 games a year. I am old school in games. Love older games because they are easier for me on a computer. Party poker is fun and I play it and bet fake cash. I am ahead on that thing by the way.
I want to leave this. Do all you do for Gods Glory. If you play a game play to win and do not cheat. If you make a bet and lose pay it. If you land on park place you do whatever to stay in the game. If you play hearts do not cheat and bet a hand you do not have. I think if your playing horse with friends and you know you have hors then play hare not to lose. It is a good thing to keep the golf score right. Use your love when you lose a game of tic tac toe. Play right and no cheating. No bad mouthing anyone you lost to. Shake hands and move on when you pal bowled a 256 and you got a 70.
Do all for Jesus shad
Here is tonight’s topic and thoughts
ENTERTAINMENT-movies, TV, cards, pool, paintball, computer games, places togo No r rated movies, No shows with junk in them, computer games are not to have shooting in them or fighting. Go places where Jesus can go.
Movies. I like them. I go to them when I am able and I like to see good movies. I love to go for a hour and escape things and see the chacters do the thing they do. I go to all kinds of movies. I love the Back to the Future movies and I like star wars. I went to movies like con air and air force one and love good action. I do not like swearing in the movies and I do not care for the movie that is not telling a good stories. I went to Austin Powers and one of the deacons was there and laughed just as hard as I did on the jokes. I asked a friend in Jesus and she told me go to movies you can take Jesus to. Jesus is there with you. It is not even a sin to go a see a movie. I have been in movies I have walked out of. I have been in some I did not walk out that I should of. I think movies are ok and going to them is good and fun. I have got into more spiritual talk over the Passion of the Christ and some have had my Gospel given to them. IF ONE PERSON GOT SAVED THAT MOVIE IT IS ALL-OK.

On this site many thing are out to take over the usa. A movement is out there to allow A Arnold to take our highest office and he is going to take us down a road that will be like Germany. His pa was a nazi and thins ought to scare you. If Bush gets the patriot act we are going to spied on and this is going to mean talking to folks will mean that big brother is going to listen in so your not naughty. All I say is this site is a bunch of good funny things that will never happen.
I got a comment on dress I want to address. It is a key to the bible and it is this. What you wear is important TO A DEGREE. But wearing a dress to a church does not make you close to the Lord because that is not the Lords goal. He wants your love and adoring him before your tie. I found a quote from a pastor that goes to Grace and here is what he thinks.
“What kinds of issues do legalists adopt to gauge spirituality? There are many-more than you may think. In fact, we deal with these issues on a daily basis. We call them the "gray areas." By that we mean that the Bible doesn't explicitly say that various opinions in these categories are either right or wrong.Here's a brief list of some of the categories involved:· ENTERTAINMENT-movies, TV, cards, pool, paintball, computer games, places togo No r rated movies, No shows with junk in them, computer games are not to have shooting in them or fighting. Go places where Jesus can go.· EXTERNAL PERSONAL APPEARANCE-clothes, makeup, jewelry, hair
clean clothes and smell good, no earrings for male and no face per sings. · MUSIC-style, etc. (What is appropriate in church?)
Church music ought to be doctrinally ok. Style is not a issue with me. · PARENTING
Love your kids and make them obey the people. Teachers and refs are always right. Spanking is a good thing.· DATING
Adter 18 and courting is better. No Games in dating only date a marrige partner. · EDUCATION OF CHILDREN-home, private, public
Christian bible non legelist is the best· PATRONIZATION OF BUSINESSES-shopping, Disneyland, long distanceproviders, restaurants
Be wise. Wal-Mart is not good to people. Go where labor is fair. Prefers USA goods. Bopycotting is not always the thing to do.· BIRTH CONTROL
In marrige sex is always ok.· LANGUAGE· BIBLE TRANSLATIONS
Compare them all. No KJV only trash you need them all· GIVING
Personal thing. No titheing because it is a method not in the new testament. Give more than you think is enough. Sacrifice all you can.. · POLITICS-parties, activism
Go with your convistion. No party is better · MEDICAL ISSUES-life support, transfusions, medicationsTake all prescribed meds if you are given them. Consult a MD on all the issues. Make common sense calls on the rest
· HALLOWEEN Trick or treat with friends. Have fun with it.· SANTA CLAUS Make it a fun thing and make Jesus the king of Christmas. · OWNING MATERIAL GOODS If they are needed and not above Jesus. Jesus first. · FOOD No restriction on this. No mention in the bible. I eat whatever. · SEPARATION Hard thing to know. I left church over it. Not key to me at this time.· SUNDAY ACTIVITIES Be with family if possible. Go to church. Make more time for the Lord and if possible rest. Watch football is fine. · "MIXED" SWIMMING No problems in my mind· ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES pick up trash and recycle cans. · DEBT/CREDIT · DRINKING WINE, Do not get drunk. Ok with a meal. Never ok for you if you had problems. I prefer no booze but if you do that is ok if you drink a beer.
DANCING, All you can. No problems with it. Good to shake your hips to a tune if you are into it. Even in church dancing is a good thing to praise Jesus in some church.
SMOKING is not going to determine your faith. Best not to start.
All of the above list does not judge anything. All the above might have things that might have readers convictions and that is ok. I listed mine after each one. I want to hear your and perhaps I am wring on something and I might change my mind if you make a good case for it, We are to make time to talk any of the list here over. Comment and write you PERSONAL thoughts. If you comment you put your age so we find out if it is a bible thing or is it old fashion or is it necessary. I however might make a comment on yours and or ask you to think over your comment. I am asking you for a clean debate and I will place all comments that are sent.
I want to make a new thing. If 2 of you disagree on anything on my board both of you have one page to make your point and half of page to discuss the others. If comments are here I have the right to question a comment on the form.

Draw near the your Father God
KELLY CLARK, US SNOWBOARDER"Having a relationship with God has been more joyful and more fulfilling than anything snowboarding ever was. It's given me a whole new perspective on these Games. I'm coming back now with nothing to prove, with total peace and knowing that the Lord has blessed me."
http://www.xanga.com/groups/group.aspx?id=784546
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and morn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.[1]
Here is a passage that is going to be a long talk maybe. I need to start out in the first part of the passage and I might not get out of it because it is loaded. Submit to God. It is a loaded thing to submit to God but yet if you do not your never going to grow in him. If you are not going to submit your life to Jesus why even get saved? It is a awesome thing to know the God that made all to know he Loves you more you can imagine. SO what is to submit. It is to be under the lead of. I think I need to be in the leading of Jesus and what he has planned for my life. I need to be in his word all the time and know his heart. If I know the Lord I am going to want to know all the more of him and it is never ok to stop knowing the Lord because he is so huge that I think you cannot know him all in a week. It will take forever to learn of him in heaven.
We are to resist the devil and he will flee. We are not to sit and tell the devil to flee of command him to leave. We are to not give him the time of day. Who are we to curse the devil or ask him to leave us. Jesus never tells us to do that. I know of preachers that make folks tell things to the evil one. We are to go to God and draw closer to him. What a wonderful thing to draw near to Jesus and his goodness and love. What a wonderful thing to worship and gain from know Jesus and growing deep in his word. But the closer you get the more you know you are not worth anything to Jesus and the more temptation and deeper the Lord goes to clean you of sin. It is not a easy thing to get closer to the Lord because he is going to convict you and work you.
Here are some passages to thinmk on. Make some comments on the passages
Psalms 73 But it is good for me to draw near to God;
I have put my trust in the Lord God,
That I may declare all Your works.[2]
Psalms 84 2 My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.[3]
Psalms 63 1 O God, You are my God;
Early will I seek You;
My soul thirsts for You;
My flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land
Where there is no water.
2 So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.[4]

WORLDLY
NOTE THE DRESS OF A CHRISTIAN IS NOT THE THING TO LOOK AT. I AM MAKING A POINT YOU WILL DRESS IN A WAY NOT TO SEXUALY TO ATTRACK PEOPLE
I am not going to like this next part of the bible. I know that many have ideas on the topic of being in the world and not be best topic for me. I am not sure what it all entails like music or news or do we not do things like sports or whatever? Let me say that I am not sure on this but I am going to learn what it is. I want to ask some things and then put my thoughts into answer.
Here is the text I am going to work on here.
James 4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?
6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:
“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”[1]
Is rock music a thing of the world?
I think in some way the rock and roll of today is not what it used to be. I thing this way on music a song is a work of art. When you sing a song you are performing art. If you sing happy birthday you’re singing a greeting to a birthday person. If you play a song on a saxophone your seeing notes that one has composed and your playing them. SO it is a neutral thing for the most part. I think if opera is about sex it is sinful as I think a rock song about sex is wrong. But not all music is about sex. I heard rock induces a sexual thing and to be that is not right. I like Garth Brooks and his style but I am not sure his songs are the cleanest.
Christian music can be good and can be bad. I know some songs that are about losing the faith and I do not like that kind of stuff. Or a song that is not correctly written because of the things it teaches. I do not see any style as sinful and rebelling toward the Lord. Jesus can use a pretty gal to lead a male to himself and Jesus has used petra to lead folks to his name. I know a man that came to Jesus in a Ken Copland service but I think Copland is not a solid bible teacher. So I do not think music is worldly in style.
I do think the content of music can be about worldly things and that is where to me a problem is and where I have to not listen to bands and love them. Loving the world can be watching the news too much, It means you love yourself more than others, It means you trust money,
If you love Jesus your not going to like going to drink or party in worldly ways. I think your going to want to live in a way Jesus would want you to live. Your going to dress in a way that honors Jesus. Ok I am talking about dressing to not tempt others to want sex or bad things. But dress well. Worldly folks do not care about others Christians ought to. Being in the world is selfish and wanting to seek you but seek others.
God is jealous for you if you are his. Jesus longs you to share all you have with him. He loves you and died so you can talk to him and he wants you to do that. He wants you to just be in love with him and live in him. Jesus does not want you to lose sight of the Love he has for you. He wants you to know he has you a place for you and a love for you that will allow you to spend forever in his arms. He wants your heart loving him alone and not trusting in anything else. If your trusting in anything but Jesus I beg you to think of what he did for you and trust alone in Him.
I want to say hi to my friends at the ymca and at Masters. Also Hi to Brad and Ron. Ok

Lets honor the Lord Jesus
I want to talk a bit about the LA thing. I want to move there for a few reasons. I want to go to Grace church and be under the teaching of John Macarthur. I really think he is a great bible teacher and that church takes the bible serious and he gets the truth out of the bible. It is funny that so many conservative churches seem to name him a awesome bible teacher. I have sat in good teaching. Dan Clausen was my pastor and Art Cotant is my pastor. All pastors that held the bible in high regard. I have been to places that got it wrong. The entire TBN TV network gets it wrong as well as many places. I want to live in a place where I can bike all year long and where it is warm. I want to live in a place that I am able to get bible classes I can trust. I cannot trust most places here. I mean one place teaches the bob Jones series and that school is not to me trustworthy. And Granite City is a place that tries to suck you in to their church. Not good. I want to move to a place that is going to make me learn a new system of getting around. It would be a fun thing. I want to live where I am able to work in the inter city and share Jesus with a good church. I want to live in a place of change and where I can make a new life that takes time and LA is a good place to do it in.
Lets take the Bible and lets nail some food out of it
James 4 1 Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? 2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.
Lots of convicting things I need to talk on in this passage. Wars and fights are not from the Lord. People that are in one church seem to want to start fights because there is a difference of music or one might not see the bible verse the way another does. I am a fighter of teaching the bible rightly and telling folks that what you think about some topics matter. I think that once you ask Jesus into your heart Jesus keeps you forever. I know people and love them that have a view that you can give away Jesus and become unborn and end in hell. I just think that is something we as the saved need to fight for. I think that fights break out because folks get lazy and do not read the word and pray. When I got saved in 2001 I was drilled to read the bible and know it and live it. Erin said if she never talked to me again that I just keep reading the bible everyday. I have read the bible and study it tons.
We ask for things that make us feel good and not to honor Jesus and his word. Jesus asked us to pray for the workers of the harvest and I wonder if we do. Do we seek Jesus and forget the billions that never had the bible and do not have a way to know Jesus Love for them. We need to ask for the Lords will in our life’s and do it. Want more cash because of selfish reasons or do I ask for my person needs. If your not getting your prayers maybe the Lord wants you to pray for others and missions or give more. Maybe it is not right between you and the Lord or another person. Have you got all that sin confessed and things worked out between you and our Lord? If not then make it right.
4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?
I need to work on this myself and think what is of the world and what is not. I think we are not separated like we ought yet I also think we need to be there for the world and serve them so they make Jesus Lord. If we worship the world system we make Jesus nothing like he needs to be. Is it world like to like music that is not Christian? I do not see it that but if the Lord Jesus asked me to give it up, I would because I love him tons and he owns my life. If Jesus told me to stay here and not move I would. Jesus Love is enough for me to live on and I want to love him. I want to make Jesus famous and myself nothing unless Jesus gives me a platform/

Lets take the Bible and lets nail some food out of it
James 4 1 Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? 2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.
Lots of convicting things I need to talk on in this passage. Wars and fights are not from the Lord. People that are in one church seem to want to start fights because there is a difference of music or one might not see the bible verse the way another does. I am a fighter of teaching the bible rightly and telling folks that what you think about some topics matter. I think that once you ask Jesus into your heart Jesus keeps you forever. I know people and love them that have a view that you can give away Jesus and become unborn and end in hell. I just think that is something we as the saved need to fight for. I think that fights break out because folks get lazy and do not read the word and pray. When I got saved in 2001 I was drilled to read the bible and know it and live it. Erin said if she never talked to me again that I just keep reading the bible everyday. I have read the bible and study it tons.
We ask for things that make us feel good and not to honor Jesus and his word. Jesus asked us to pray for the workers of the harvest and I wonder if we do. Do we seek Jesus and forget the billions that never had the bible and do not have a way to know Jesus Love for them. We need to ask for the Lords will in our life’s and do it. Want more cash because of selfish reasons or do I ask for my person needs. If your not getting your prayers maybe the Lord wants you to pray for others and missions or give more. Maybe it is not right between you and the Lord or another person. Have you got all that sin confessed and things worked out between you and our Lord? If not then make it right.
4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?
I need to work on this myself and think what is of the world and what is not. I think we are not separated like we ought yet I also think we need to be there for the world and serve them so they make Jesus Lord. If we worship the world system we make Jesus nothing like he needs to be. Is it world like to like music that is not Christian? I do not see it that but if the Lord Jesus asked me to give it up, I would because I love him tons and he owns my life. If Jesus told me to stay here and not move I would. Jesus Love is enough for me to live on and I want to love him. I want to make Jesus famous and myself nothing unless Jesus gives me a platform/

wisdom ias from Jesus

I just find them and report them. Iam not offended but had a kick out of the movie clip and wanted to place it here to have fun. If your offended then I am sorry. I am not going to take it off this site. Matter of fact I might just add more things like it. To be fair here is a music group of ladies that I hope to add to my collection. I love sopranos and I like the style they are and they are pretty and I like that too.

Here is tonight’s study on James
James 3 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.
Wisdom is a good thing. James said if you lack it you are to ask for it from the Lord who gives it. If you have wisdom and are wise your going to live out wisdom in meekness and your going to be humble and give all the credit to the one who gave you the wisdom. Lets maqke a tour of the bible and see where you find wisdom
Psalms 111 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
His praise endures forever.[1]
If you want wisdom your going to fear the Lord. Are you afraid sometimes knowing your in the presence of one that holds every life in his hands and decides when one dies? Also do you think of the truth God could make one go to hell when they fail to live in his arms. I fear this that I sin and Jesus in mercy keeps me alive for all time till his good pleasure is to take me home. Here is a passage that said the same thing
Proverbs 1 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction.[2]
If you want knowledge serve the Lord. Fear the Lord.
Daniel 1 17 As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.[3]
God has the wisdom and gives it to people. It was all the knowledge of God that was given to the men to serve the Lord. God gives to us when he wants us to have extra wisdom foir his will.
33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has become His counselor?”
35 “Or who has first given to Him
And it shall be repaid to him?”[4]
Who knows the mind of God who gave us wisdom and his mind? God made us and gives the wisdom to serve him here to.
Col 2 For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh, 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.[5]
God only gives his wisdom in a relationship with his son the Lord Jesus. If you do not know Jesus you’re a fool and you are not going to fear the Lord and your going to meet Jesus and forever your going to wish you feared him because he is not going to allow you into anything good but without Jesus in your death your going to see hell. Please do not lack wisdom on that come to a fear of God and make it right. Oh I beg you so much. Hell is a must for those who do not get it right and get saved.
James said that if your not wise if you have bitterness in your heart in any way. Get rid of your bitterness and make it right. Forgive NOW so you can gain wisdom and honor your king Jesus.
15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.
Wisdom that is not from Jesus is earthly and satanic. If your digging in another besides Jesus and his word including any religion that is not of God like Islam, any from of horoscope which is satanic, any form of pop culture, Psychology which is not from the Lord, and anything outside of the bible. All this wisdom is from Hell and if you want to live a life for Jesus you’re going to not make this wisdom yours. If you are self seeking your pursureing satans wisdom and stop it because it is dangers
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. 18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.[6]
Gods wisdom is without sinful thoughts, is into producing good works because you love him and is going to have Gods kindness in it. It is going to bring peace unlike some that bring things up to start fights and make people go their way in life and try to make it yours. If you create anything that is peace it is good. If your even going to try to fight of any kind it is from the devil and you better stop.
Make peace.Shadman

My thoughts on the church
New law here on my networks, you do not cut down anyone and if your caught you are off my blog, email and out of my life for 100 days. If you do it you’re a lifetime ban. I run this blog and if one needs to be cut down I will do it and do it with style. This applies to all emails and comments and to anything. I am making this ban because I can. If your caught in putting comments on my blog and no name I decide whjo goes. Ronald your totally ok to put anything you want. It is MY page and I make the rules. I am not fair because I run this page. It applies to friend that I think it needs to. I can say and do what I want and I am going to. My job is to run this not yours. I know your not going to like it and I can override any comment I want and I will. I make the hard calls. I am going to break my own rules because I am able to. I want to adderss a thing in my box I got today from Daivd Cloud who is a Baptist that writes things so terrible I need to make comment on them.

RICK WARREN PREDICTS A "NEW REFORMATION." Friday Church News Notes,
February 10, 2006 (David Cloud, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org,
866-295-4143) - In his appearance before the Pew Forum last May, Rick
Warren predicted a "New Reformation" or a "Third Great Awakening" for
America. He said: "You know, 500 years ago, the first Reformation
with Luther and then Calvin, was about beliefs.
It was a great thing Cloud that your kind does not like. Matters of fact go into a church that is Baptist and they like to think Warred is a cult. But friends the 500 got us the bible and it for the man on the street. I honor the folks that made the bible and the people the ones that are able to read and preach the bible. I was told my blog is a act of rebellion. It is and I am never going to stop preaching because the bible is given to every man
I think a new reformation is going to be about behavior. The first Reformation was
about creeds; I think this one will be about deeds. ... The first
Reformation actually split Christianity into dozens and then hundreds
of different segments. I think this one is actually going to bring
them together. Now, you're never going to get Christians, of all
their stripes and varieties, to agree on all of the different
doctrinal disputes and things like that, but what I am seeing them
agree on are the purposes of the church.
We need a thing that is going to unite the body of Jesus and we need to drop many doctrines that divide. So this is a good thing. You won’t get you Mr Cloud to unite because your teaching is bad and really takes shots at people you ought not. It makes me not want to be Baptist. Hat makes me run far from people that divide the body.
Last week I spoke to
4,000 pastors at my church who came from over 100 denominations in
over 50 countries. Now, that's wide spread. We had Catholic priests,
we had Pentecostal ministers, we had Lutheran bishops, we had
Anglican bishops, we had Baptist preachers.
And I am proud that Rick got the body together and said we need to get along. I know Lutherans that led me to Jesus. I had a Pentecostal that also made my life turn to Jesus. I know of many Catholics that are born of Jesus and Love his grace. I also know many good Baptists that honor the Lord and love people. I am not going to say it is bad for the people of Jesus to get together and honor Jesus. How dare some of you rip other churches and mock Gods home. I KNOW PEOPLE that sit at potlucks and point out others and mocks God. I have ate with folks that go after Billy Graham and say he is bad because he sends folks to the church they came from and I say He helped me get saved. Back off of Campus Crusade who made a movie that 2 billon have seen and people I know came to Jesus and are working in CCC that are reaching in Lands that you never have thought of. We need churches to support friends in all things like Youth for Christ and things that reach people. You’re not doing the job so God rose up YFC and lets them reach the druggist and CCC that is on the front lines for the college drinkers. Stop making dumb things like versions of the bible and get the bible out to the homeless. Stop making a thing of music and get your singer out to the nursing homes and sing for the lonely and not just on Christmas do it one time a week and get your hands dirty. Stop making a issue of clothes and get a bunch of your Sunday best to Goodwill. Stop pointing your finger at long hair and start telling them the way to Jesus. Stop your potlucks and open a food shelf.
They're all there
together and you know what? I'd never get them to agree on communion
or baptism or a bunch of stuff like that, but I could get them to
agree on what the church should be doing in the world" ("Myths of the
Modern Mega-Church," May 23, 2005, transcript of the Pew Forum's
biannual Faith Angle conference on religion, politics and public
life). Warren's New Reformation is not about beliefs or creeds or
doctrinal purity; it is rather about "the purpose of the church."
Something David you lost when your after churches that use half time to reach out to the lost and present the Gospel. The truth is your not proclaiming is king james only church’s.
Let
me see if I understand this. It is not essential that a church hold
biblical doctrine and practice (e.g., Episcopalian, Lutheran) or even
that it preach a biblical gospel (e.g., Catholic priests). It is only
important that "churches" agree on their purpose? How can a "church"
have a biblical purpose when it does not have biblical doctrine? How
can it have a biblical purpose when it preaches a false sacramental
gospel? If sound doctrine is not a foundational issue, I wonder why
Paul instructed Timothy to "charge some that they teach NO OTHER
DOCTRINE" (1 Tim. 1:3)? I wonder why he didn't rather instruct
Timothy to go easy on the doctrine issue? Could it be that the
apostle Paul's teaching is contrary to Rick Warren's? I, for one, am
certain of it!
I am certain of this. Rick warren has given millions to the aids people and you sit there and say how aids is a gay thing. DOCTIUNE IS KEY but if you lack love and in your write you lack love for anything that is not out of your mouth and is not a Baptist view then Dave and for that matter all the Baptists reading this your king james and anti rock is going to lack people in this movement from finding your controlling pastors out and flocking to Rick Warren and John Macarthur. I pray that happens sooner that later because the body is lacking good workers stuck in churches that Pastors tell that his people are not to study the bible without the blessing of the pastor. Guess what might happen they might see the errors in the Baptist church and read books that share truth and leave in DROVES. I for one will welcome them and feed them the truth and shed your garbage.

tame the touge
It is a bad thing to be in conflict as Christians. In the camp 2 friends of mine need to resolve the current conflict they are currently in. So if you are in conflict solve it. And if your asked not to email me do not do it. No more of this junk in the camp. It is hurting the Lord Jesus and I am sick of it. Give in something both of you and become friends. And stop sending things that are not good. Hunt is a jerk and I get his letter for my birdcage. I hate him. His teaching is anti Calvinism and I am into that. We are not going to return to Grace. I am moving on and so is Mr R. WE CHOOSE THE CHURCHS WE GO TO. They are all fine because God moves in many ways. We do not agree on things and that is good because God loves all of us and we are not perfect. NO church is perfect.
James 3 See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. 8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? 12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.[1]
I want to get back to the James study. I want to talk about the mouth. Friend we say tons of words in a day do we not. Many things we say we need not say. I talk tons about Jesus but sometimes I swear and say things that are not right. I preach and yet I say bad things. I was at church one time and a missionary said out of frustration the f word. I thought this is one man I can relate to because he is human. I am not saying that it is good to support the f word but we all have done many things and said things that we need to confess and go to Jesus and clean up. I am the first to say I am a sinner in this and I need to get right.
In this passage James makes some truth that we need to hear and that is our words are so important to watch. We seem to say things that hurt all people or type things that offend and break unity. Word do hurt others and friend we need to watch what we say. I am not going to pretend that I am able to tame something when I am so unable. We are never on our own going to tame our touge and we will not do it. If you’re mad because I say that then you failed to read this text. No man can tame his words. It is not possible to never say a bad word. I promise you in the next day you are going to sin 100 times. But what do we do?
What we cannot do is the work that Jesus has to do. All the way in this book I am showing you that the law is not something we are able to do. Works are a gift that Jesus gives you to honor his name. If you try and fail to keep the law of God and you will you need to focus on your love for Jesus and not this obey the law to be close to God? You are not going to be able to get to God by keeping a moral code. Did you get saved that way? No grace alone saved you and that grace is in Jesus alone. If you ever fail to know this your salvation is at stake. All of us bless the Lord in the church house and go home and say something you regret. If you got this thing down your in heaven. I know every friend I have fail in this tons. It is true. Before you email me and say I am wrong think of this your about to sin in this thing. God demands you keep the law all the time everyday and when you fail at one thing you lost all of the things in the law. If you badmouth any church at anytime you’re a sinner and you mock Jesus and his work. If one man got saved in any church you badmouth it you’re a sinner. If you badmouth any Christian for anything at anytime you sinned because you are badmouthing Jesus brother and I think that is going to be on your resume in the heaven job you want. It is so important for the conflicts to stop because they make God out to be a liar in that he loves you and forgave you a debt of billons and billons and someone is asking you to forgive a little 20-dollar sin debt. If your not going to forgive do not ever tell me to go do a good deed and skip church and find the person you offended and make it right. If you fail to forgive your sin makes it so Jesus won’t work with you and if you fail to forgive you’re spouse God is not hearing you. Has it ever dawned on people that when one is asking to grow a church and it is not growing the people are not forgiving?
I want to make it clear that if your heart is not forgiving You need to make it right. It might be your not in Jesus and your not saved. Jesus does not make junk and he wants you to make him Lord of your life. Go to the how do I know I am saved and play the intro. I urge you to go there and make sure your saved. If you think you’re saved and hold any bitterness I ask you to think of Jesus and follow the plan and make it right. If Jon does go to a church you think is right you need to love him and make it right and if you cannot then might I ask you if your saved?
Please make it right and know Jesus lovers you and wants you to love him.

James 3 See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. 8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? 12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.[1]
I want to get back to the James study. I want to talk about the mouth. Friend we say tons of words in a day do we not. Many things we say we need not say. I talk tons about Jesus but sometimes I swear and say things that are not right. I preach and yet I say bad things. I was at church one time and a missionary said out of frustration the f word. I thought this is one man I can relate to because he is human. I am not saying that it is good to support the f word but we all have done many things and said things that we need to confess and go to Jesus and clean up. I am the first to say I am a sinner in this and I need to get right.
In this passage James makes some truth that we need to hear and that is our words are so important to watch. We seem to say things that hurt all people or type things that offend and break unity. Word do hurt others and friend we need to watch what we say. I am not going to pretend that I am able to tame something when I am so unable. We are never on our own going to tame our touge and we will not do it. If you’re mad because I say that then you failed to read this text. No man can tame his words. It is not possible to never say a bad word. I promise you in the next day you are going to sin 100 times. But what do we do?
What we cannot do is the work that Jesus has to do. All the way in this book I am showing you that the law is not something we are able to do. Works are a gift that Jesus gives you to honor his name. If you try and fail to keep the law of God and you will you need to focus on your love for Jesus and not this obey the law to be close to God? You are not going to be able to get to God by keeping a moral code. Did you get saved that way? No grace alone saved you and that grace is in Jesus alone. If you ever fail to know this your salvation is at stake. All of us bless the Lord in the church house and go home and say something you regret. If you got this thing down your in heaven. I know every friend I have fail in this tons. It is true. Before you email me and say I am wrong think of this your about to sin in this thing. God demands you keep the law all the time everyday and when you fail at one thing you lost all of the things in the law. If you badmouth any church at anytime you’re a sinner and you mock Jesus and his work. If one man got saved in any church you badmouth it you’re a sinner. If you badmouth any Christian for anything at anytime you sinned because you are badmouthing Jesus brother and I think that is going to be on your resume in the heaven job you want. It is so important for the conflicts to stop because they make God out to be a liar in that he loves you and forgave you a debt of billons and billons and someone is asking you to forgive a little 20-dollar sin debt. If your not going to forgive do not ever tell me to go do a good deed and skip church and find the person you offended and make it right. If you fail to forgive your sin makes it so Jesus won’t work with you and if you fail to forgive you’re spouse God is not hearing you. Has it ever dawned on people that when one is asking to grow a church and it is not growing the people are not forgiving?
I want to make it clear that if your heart is not forgiving You need to make it right. It might be your not in Jesus and your not saved. Jesus does not make junk and he wants you to make him Lord of your life. Go to the how do I know I am saved and play the intro. I urge you to go there and make sure your saved. If you think you’re saved and hold any bitterness I ask you to think of Jesus and follow the plan and make it right. If Jon does go to a church you think is right you need to love him and make it right and if you cannot then might I ask you if your saved?
Please make it right and know Jesus lovers you and wants you to love him.
