Shadmans thoughts

I got to comment on David Cloud and his statement on John Piper. First of all Cloud is not a man of the bible. He does not love others who disagree with him and the way he teaches. He is not a man that thinks calvin is good and he makes light of many good leaders. I know Piper and he is one of the best Pastors alive. This is a bad thing and my comments are in ()


A 2005 survey of roughly 1,100 “young fundamentalists,” found that John Piper has a significant influence. Almost 50% agreed with the statement, “John Piper’s ministry has been a help to me.”
(at least some are getting the truth. I am glad the kids are hearing the truth and able to look past the cults and get the word of God.)
This might help to explain the high number of Calvinists and the New Evangelical leanings among the responders. The unscientific survey largely represented graduates of Bob Jones University(cult to the core. Bob Jones is a racist school (29% of those surveyed), Maranatha Baptist Bible College (22%), and Northland Baptist Bible College (21%). (For more on this see “A Survey of Young Fundamentalists” at http://www.wayoflife.org/fbns/survey-young-fund.html.)
John Piper is a popular Evangelical author and the senior pastor at Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota, but though the church is called Baptist it allows non-immersion “baptisms” for church membership.
( NO HE DID NOT SAY THAT CLOUD. HE IS A MAN OF THE BIBLE AND I AM FINE WITH IT EVEN IF HE DID. GET OFF YOUR STUPID HIGH HORSE AND JOIN THE TRUTH. BAPTISM IS A ACT OF OBEING JESUS AND IF ONE IS SPINKED FINE IF HE IS PROCLAIMING THE TTRUTH OF SALVATION.)
In 2002 Piper proposed to the church that the constitution be amended to allow a candidate to reject believer’s baptism by immersion if he “sincerely and humbly believes that it would be contrary to Scripture and conscience--and not just contrary to family tradition or desires--to be baptized by immersion and thus to count his infant ‘baptism’ or his adult sprinkling as improper or invalid.”
This is heretical and is a very strange position for a so-called Baptist church to take. The Greek word “baptizo” means immersion and baptism is called a burial in Scripture (Rom. 6:3-4; Col. 2:12). There is not one example in Scripture of an infant being baptized. To the contrary, the requirement for baptism is faith in Christ and an infant is clearly incapable of that (Mk. 16:16; Acts 8:36-39; 16:30-33).
Many sincerely believe that their infant baptism or adult sprinkling is a genuine baptism, but they are sincerely misled and should in no wise be encouraged in their error by Baptist preachers.
(NOT A ERROR ME. )
Piper is a Calvinist who believes the strange heresy that regeneration precedes faith. Note the following statement:
“We believe that the new birth is a miraculous creation of God that enables a formerly ‘dead’ person to receive Christ and so be saved. We do not think that faith precedes ... the new birth. Faith is the evidence that God has begotten us anew. ... God begets us anew and the first glimmer of life in the newborn child is faith. This new birth is the effect of irresistible grace, because it is an act of sovereign creation” (John Piper, quoted from John MacArthur, Faith Works, 1993, p. 199).
(READ ROMANS 3. AND EPH 1. GOD MAKES THE SAINT ALIVE. I AM A CALVINIST TO A POINT AND IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR A MAN THAT IS DEAD TO CHOOSE JESUS. FAITH IS A GIFT GIVEN TO A SINNER AND AFTER THE GIFT IS GRANTED THEN THE SINNER CAN REPENT.{
Piper is also a New Evangelical ecumenist. For example, he was a speaker at the 2004 National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, joining hands in that forum with Franklin Graham, James Dobson, Ted Haggard, and Pat Robertson, all of whom have a close relationship with the Roman Catholic Church. Graham follows in his father’s footsteps in turning converts over to the Catholic Church. Dobson has appeared on the cover of Catholic magazines and to our knowledge has never warned his many Catholic listeners to come out of Rome. Robertson wrote the foreword to A House United? Evangelicals and Catholics Together: A Winning Alliance for the 21st Century (NavPress, 1994)
( I ALSO AM NOT FOR THE EVANATHIC MERGE. JOHN PIPER DOES NOT AGREE WITH THIS DOCUMENT.)

. He said that Catholics and Protestants “have a moral imperative to join together” to oppose cultural evils such as abortion and praised Roman Catholic Keith Fournier for his “deep dedication to helping to heal the divide” that “separated the Body of Christ.” Three years earlier Robertson had invited Fournier to be the executive director of the American Center for Law and Justice at Regent University. Haggard, Senior Pastor of New Life Church in Colorado Springs and president of the National Association of Evangelicals, said in October 2005: “New Life doesn’t try to ‘convert’ Catholics” and “the church would never discourage its members from becoming Catholic or attending Catholic Mass” (The Berean Call, Jan. 2006).(THE HUNT FAG MAG) Three Roman Catholic organizations were active at the 2004 NRB conference. The Global Catholic Network ran an ad in the NRB newspaper each day and rented exhibit space. Priests for Life handed out packets of their material; and Catholic Answers, which promotes Roman Catholic dogma, also participated.
Dr. Ralph Colas, who wrote an eyewitness report of the meeting, concluded: “This year some speakers, like John Piper, had more Bible content than is usually presented at NRB conventions. However, not one identified the apostates, Roman Catholicism as well as those who embrace extra-biblical revelations and dreams, as being a threat to the people of God. As it is so often at such new evangelical meetings, it is not necessarily what they say--but what they fail to say that creates the confusion and further compromise. The NRB continues to be a hodgepodge of believers and unbelievers, and its broad inclusivism reveals it fits exactly in the center of the new evangelical camp.”
Regardless of the good things that he might teach, John Piper is a New Evangelical and a Calvinist who despises Scriptural baptism and should therefore be avoided (Rom. 16:17; 2 Thess. 3:6).
(YOU CLOUD ARE A HERTIC AND A SINNFUL MAN AND A SHAME TO THE BODY OF JESUS AND YOU OUGHT TO BE ADVIODED AND PUT OUT OF ANY GOOD CHURCH.)
“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them” (Rom. 16:17).
“Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us” (2 Thess. 3:6).

God loves every person he made. Yet some of the people that God loves have choose not to love him back. He has given them the right to choose not to Love him and not to make him the most important thing in life. That makes God very mad at the person who does not love him back. God is mad but in the same time God wants him to come to knowledge of him and repent.

Ps 7 God is a just judge,
And God is angry with the wicked every day.[1]

Yet he loves them

John 3 16 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.[2]

But in sin how can God love? I do not get it either. I am sure that if you worship God in a wrong way he is going to give you the truth. But if you knowing the truth choose to not take it and reject then I am not sure that Jesus still loves you. Here is another way to look at it. If your not saved every day you are still given this earth to enjoy and your still given a day outside of hell. If you choose to not honor the Lord with that day and not see God made it you still had the gift of the time of that day. You had time to fish and time to eat and a fresh shower. All are a gift of grace. At not time was the Lord there to stop you from enjoying the day. But your outside of Jesus and really his special Love for his own was not part of your life. If you die on that day your not his that day ends and your in hell forever. He does not love you of grant you grace because your not saved. It ia his choice to of given you time and grace but in the end Grace is gone when your gone. Jesus is not going to give someone a chance if they do not seek it. Look at the rest of what Jesus said

John 3 18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”[3]

Light came and was rejected. No more chance to get Jesus. He gives to you his all and life and you turn it down it make him and God demand you spend a life away and that is horrid. If you’re a person that knew the truth and let me say this if your reading this blog you are in the know and if you reject God gave you the chance and you said no. God is still going try but if you give up it makes it hard for Jesus. I know he is never going to turn away his elect meaning the ones that come to him and he knows who they are.

I am proud not to tolerate a false religion. If they want to punch me fine Jesus got killed for his walk and talk. It is not my part to be “tolerant” of sin or other faiths. Here is some reasons. God is not “tolerant” of sin. If you worship anyone but God and the true bible God your wrong and I am fine with telling the truth. Muslims are not good and their God is not the true God. They do not find their God to love them and they are with sin and go to hell. Muslims worship a false God and that is truth. They want to kill Jews and they want to kill others that fail to accept Muslim laws. It is a danger to any land to allow the Muslims into this or any land. They kill Christians and the Iran Pres uses that faith to wish to kill Jews and Israel. God has said he loves us and if your God wants others dead I will not tolerate anyone that honors him. It is my purpose to honor Jesus and in Him are you going to be able to find life. No other God made this world. So for a person that has no faith to tell me not to preach faith is like a Chinaman telling me to accept English law.

But for you offended out there the bible said this…

TOO BAD

It does not matter to the Lord if he offends you and if you do not submit to Gods truth your not going to be good. That means that GOD does not accept you if you follow after anything else. No Muslim, Buddhist, worshippers of Mary, Sinner, People that misuse Gods name, Thief, Luster, Rapist, Liar, One that wants his neighbors things or any one that does not honor every law of the Bible or the God of the bible will ever ever see heaven or the gates. No one that does not come to humble repenting before the Lord Jesus and honor him alone and trust in him alone even has a shot to not go to hell. You die in sin and you spend forever away from God and that is truth.

Here is a passage that tells us many that went to follow turned on Jesus

John 6 60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?”
61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. 65 And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”
66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. [1]

Look in 66 people walked no more after Jesus. They died and ended in hell. Jesus if he loves them you would expect that he might of tried to saved them but they said no thank you.

I must show this text
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16 For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.[2]

Mans wisdom. If your not saved your not going to be able to know the bible. If your not part of God you can say all you want to about faith and religion and it is all without fail wrong. Lots think they got the truth but do not. Many even go to church and truth iis far4 from them. Gay priests are not saved because the bible told us Gay is sin. I am not sure on woman priests or even pastors but I tend to lean not to have a woman in the office of lead pastor. I know that might fly in your face but that is the truth. Look at this in the book 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. No one in the flesh has the right to say what the bible said or does not say and to me the ones that want me to tolerate do not understand I am not able because sin is sin and I cannot accept anything not in the bible. I cannot tolerate one that sends a person to a person for cousel where both are not saved. I am no longer able to go to a place that counsels me that is not Christian. It is sin for me because my life is under the ownership of Jesus. On Gods word has anything that lasts forever. And to accept less is a insult to the maker of My life and the one that came and died for my and gave me life forever.

I think a lot about things and I have seen that if I spend my time on things that perish then what use is there for them. I vote that I spend myself on Jesus and telling others Jesus is Lord and without him life means nothing. Jesus is true and a;; the rest is fading and ends. All you fun is going to end, all your money ends and this land is going to end.

Hebrew 9 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.[3]
Are you ready????

It is late but I did my best to get home earlier and I failed. I am going to do the next part of Hebrews tonight and lets see how Jesus works in it.

Heb 9 23 Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; 25 not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another— 26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.[1]

After the time Jesus was on earth he died and became the king in God he went to heaven and is right now on the right side of God pleading for me every day and praying for me. Jesus is not in a temple made by man Jesus lives in the very side of God and in the thorne room where God is. God is holy and Jesus is there reminding God that he died for the saved man and they have him if God needs to bless them. Last time I hit the truth of the old where the priest had to go to the man made holy of holies and blood was shed for the sins of the people for the year. Now Jesus died and lives in the real God made holy place and anytime we fail Jesus takes his truth and forgives and that is so much better. If you confess your sins your forgiven and he takes them and forgets them.

Jesus suffered one time for all the sin of all the people that would trust him for salvation. Jesus did not die for the people that will go to hell in my mind. If they reject Jesus his death to them is null and your in hell. You get to live one time and then you have to go before God and your life is judged and if you are found to have sinned one time you must serve forever in hell. No second chance. God is just and he cannot take one sin. It is like if you killed one man you do not go to the Judge and say forgive me because I am a good person. God is going to send every sinner to hell unless the sinner is a Christian and then the blood of Jesus paid for all your sins. Please get right with Jesus so I am seeing you in hell one day.

I went to Rochester and the twins Game this last weekend. Family is always good to see and I have one I think you all would love. They try to tell me they wont read this site but I know they do. I know it and can trace them and I am glad they are. I am not going to tell how I am sure but I am. I would bet 100 on this fact. So welcome. I am also sure we are not on the same page with politics. I am a Bushman and they are democrats. I think that we need to stay and clean the war up and they think get out of the land and come home and take the peoples business and give all the money back. I think the protection of this land needs to be the top thing the government and the second is t o close our boarders. All you in CA tell the Governor that when the President tells you to block the people from coming into this land they do not belong. If you got folks that we do not know coming in it means we might have folks that will kill our people and that is wrong. Bill is not wrong it is the goofs that do not protect me from evil people that want to kill. Most of them are Muslim and that faith is not truth and bad for us. I fight some people over ccm and music when the war is really to stop the Muslims from being ok with Allah. Allah is faked and I am sure of it. And no on that all ways get to God and all are ok because that is a lie. Jesus was the way, is the way and will always be the way. Nobody can get to GOD without Jesus and that is something this land thinks so the Muslims want to kill us because they are told you. One more thing on politics, we need to take out the nukes in North Korea and free that land from the killing of Christians and free them. But in another way it is the truth in the bible governments are not going to treat us well

Mathew 10 21 “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.[1]

One reason I trust the bible it shows me the truth that really happens. It told me in the beginning Jesus made the world and over 300 things in the old before he was here about him. So to think any other faith or to accept something else is wrong. And no tolerance here of others faiths Jesus is not so I am not.

Bible time

Heb 9 19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.” 21 Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. 22 And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.[2]

I want to note this did not say This is the command that God gave you to think about and maybe follow. This is something God told you to do. Gods command is you do it or you’re not ok. In the blood of Jesus is salvation. It is not given to just anyone either, if you reject Jesus you reject any hope. What is it about Jesus do we think was the key. It was and is the blood on the cross he shed that is the key to the Lord Jesus. In the old times Blood was shed for sins and the priest would kill a lamb and put the blood on the alter and this showed Jesus and the blood he would shed for all the sins of the world.

I just saw I did this passage last time. We are ok to redo it because I might of hit a hole in a heart or not.

I know many are reading me tonight because I took a shot at the Bapitist anti rock stand. Well I am a ccm fan and I totally reject and ban on Christian music. I am going to explain a couple of reasons I think the Baptists have it so utterly wrong. Music is a amoral thing and the style is not the issue to me. I saw Frank Garlock for 6 hours and he got it all wrong. I have read most everything your going to say to me first and I do not care. I read a lot of your pages and have not found the issues of the bible on them. I read you like the bible and the KJV and you like the church but really I do not see you share the bible. You all share about life which is fine and I read it anyhow. I am not going to stop reading any of you kids but I going to point out the stuff you write is seriously stupid and you all act like anti people. To walk into a bookstore like Ibbaptistgirl said. If your going to be so anti truth and call bibles wrong I am going to make a fool of you every single time and get my take on you. I know some think I am mean but I just got to nail people that act stupid.

To answer some of the things I have to say where in the bible does it give you this KJV only Anti CCM. It does not really. I went to a Baptist church and they back stabbed my good friend and then when I exposed the sin to the people the pastor told me not to talk to his flock. I almost got one out of the flock but he went back and the church had a meeting where they did not allow me to defend myself and who knows what they said. It was not good because none of them love me anymore and one of them told me I am not saved. That is not a way to teach anyone to be in a church. It was because I took her on in a Calvinist thing and they were not truthful. See I love toward the truth and if it costed me fine but in a church that sits in potlucks and bashed all other churches and other pastors and then told me to follow them is not a church it is a cult. When a chur4ch told me that if I listened to rock I am not saved and I ought to feel convicted is a place you run from. If your church told a member that it is wrong to lift you hands in worship when it is all over the bible and when one said it was a good thing and that pastor tells the friend of mine that he is not going to teach in his flock it is a place you got to run from. If a paster John Macarthur is a danger to the church you mark that pastor and warn the flock to get out.

Did God write the bible? Yes and here are a few passages you can show your friends when they ask.

1 Cor 2 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet no one rightly judges him himself.[1]

I see a few things I am going hit. Paul said that it is the Holy Spirit that is telling him the things that he is writing. It is one way we got our bible is the work of the Lord though the mans pen. God inspired all the bible.

Jesus said of the old
John 10 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’? 35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 36 do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38 but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.” 39 Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand.[2]

Why not have a land that puts the bible back into the center of life. I think it is a good start to the morals and trash that is happening in this land. How can a non saved person really recover from drugs inside of himself. He is not going to and every person that got of drugs did not do it with self will. Listen people there is one God and one way to God and that is Jesus. Understand in my world God is the center and he is the only God and every other is evil and they all lead to hell. Everyone not saved by submitting to the Lordship of Jesus Christ is going to live forever in hell. If that is hard for you I am not going to let up. Jesus is the only way. So sad for all other faiths they are wrong and dangerous. I say that in love not in hate. I love people enough to say No Jesus No peace and No heaven. If my own kids were to say to me Jesus is not ok and I am hateful I would be sad. My family said I am hateful. If I am hateful I would be ok with any faith and lie to you saying all religion is ok and leads to God and we all live happy forever. That to me is the most hate I could give to anyone because it is a lie. Like I said No Jesus your unsaved and your headed for a hell that is made for every single person who broke one law of God and did not come to Jesus. None of this new your ok I am ok the message is your not ok and only Jesus came and died for you on the cross and he Lone can give you life. If your not into Jesus your not living.

Let me lay out a passage on this topic

Hebrews 9 16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood.

In the testament we are talking about the laws of God. God has to take anybody who breaks his laws and send them to hell. Listen if you are guilty of breaking one law of God you must be separated forever from Him. You cannot have one sin not paid for and go to his place. You must have a perfect record and one sin makes you not perfect. If you swear one time you must go to hell forever to pay for that one foul word. I have swore so I am also in the same boat. You by the way WILL go face God and he is going to judge you. That is truth. He has a record of everything and he will place you where you go. It is like being in a court and the truth is presented and your placed where you belong.

But now in the courtroom when your damned to hell God is going to look and for me see the payment was made on a cross 2000 years ago. Jesus walks in and tells God he died and his life was perfect. So in the death of Jesus because he lived on earth a perfect life and never sinned he has the right to die in my place taking my sin and paying for it with his body. He died and took my punishment so now I have his life in God and I get heaven because of Jesus.





19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.” 21 Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. 22 And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.[1]

Moses took the laws of God and wrote them down and then he wrote a system where we had to go to the Lord and make ourselves pure. All it did was to point to the cross of Jesus and on the cross all sin for all time is dealt with. Look at 22 where without the shedding of Jesus blood there can be no forgiveness of your sins. If you do not take the Lord Jesus and apply his blood to your life in this life God is going to take your life and throw it and you into hell where no hope is. And by the way if you read this and mock it your hell is going to be far worse than one that never heard the Lords truth. If you do not choose to believe your in the category of you choose not to take Jesus and that is going to make hell that more hotter. I hope you repent and turn to the Lord and make his life yours.

Is it moral to ask where my tax goes in other lands. Here is what the government ought to spend my tax on. Defend me from evil people. If a land is going to build a gun to kill people or if a gun is used in a crime lock the offender up and give us the bill. No on making the person get help or whatever. Get the person out of the free places and keep him off the streets for 20 years. If one kills or rapes get that monster off the street for good. Kill him and use my cash to do it swiftly. If a land or another threatens the safety of people we take out the government and all its leaders in war. If a leader is killing the people we clean it up. Keeping me safe means you keep food and roads safe. It means you fix roads. Then take my money and educate kids and make them pass the grades. Teach the truth like creation is the truth. Teach them the basics and not morals and if the school does teach gays are ok shut that school down and fire the teachers. Teach the bible or let a kid learn the bible in school time. Block out 4 hours a week for churches to teach kids about Jesus. Failing this is to fail the whole point of schools. Teach the Christian faith and not the others. We are a Christian land and God is real. Require a working knowledge of the Lord of the earth Jesus and not false Gods. It is the standard we need to go back to. NO EVOLUTION OR GAY IS OK. Then with tax I pay you may give to the truly needy. No free welfare or free cash to the fooling. Drug users, drunks, people with kid that make more kids to get cash, people not working that are able including all people with MI and CD. Make social programs private and if the program works fund it with gifts first. No food for free let the Salvation Army do this and only in a hard case you give food not a free pass. I say you work if your able and the government makes your check fatter if you work. Unemployment is a good thing to so help them get a new job and be a safety net not a place to rest.

I pay 20 percent to the government and I am expecting this government to only take 10 percent and get your hands off my cash. No sales or gas tax because they waste my money. We need a flat tax of 15 percent for the feds and 5 percent to state. Other than that get the government out of my life and my pocket book. I need to address a comment here. It is not the governments Job to take the poor and just give them a free handout. We the people ought to give to the needs of the poor. I hit this another time so I am not going to hit this again

Lets go to the bible and glean something on the poor.

Acts 6 is a good place to look tonight.

Acts 6 Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution.
Have we lost the first part of this. It seems it was half of the churches job to care for the poor and half to take care of the widows and get out the daily food and help. It is a job we gave away to people that are not our own. God does set the preacher in the church t6o feed us the word but we also seem to want another person to take care of the matters of the needy in the local church. At the church I go to we take up a deacons fund on the first of the month and we use it to help the poor. We also have pooled with the local food shelf run by the calolics in this area and the Salvation Army. We at one time had a food shelf and now we do not. I think we in our church ought to commit funds each to the poor and needy. In the church we all ought to take care of the needs of the poor in the body first and the widows. If we neglect them our faith is nothing and we are as sinners without hope.

2 Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. 3 Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; 4 but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”[1]

No I am not thinking we take a pastor from the word. Sermons are the big thing in a pastors job and running the office of the church is his duty to, It is not just preaching it is prayer and meeting the needs of his flock in the bible. Art is my pastor and his job is to feed to us the word and oversee the people. Also he is to protect us from the evil one and to make us healthy in the bible.

I am posting this because I think it is a good thing to learn from and a good thing to post all over the Church. I want to hear from you where you do not agree with this and where you do. I am going to ask you all comment because it is a big deal.

T4G - The Together For The Gospel Statement
Note - This is, apparently a transcription of the document and it contains a few typos and so on. The T4G guys will be releasing a final version soon. So take this one only as a guide while you wait for the real mccoy.
We are brothers in Christ united in one great cause - to stand together for the Gospel. We are convinced that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been misrepresented, misunderstood, and marginalized in many churches and among many who claim the name of Christ. Compromise of the Gospel has led to the preaching of false gospels, the seduction of many minds and movements, and the weakening of the church's Gospel witness.
As in previous moments of theological and spiritual crisis in the church, we believe that the answer to this confusion and compromise lies in a comprehensive recovery and reaffirmation of the Gospel - and in Christians banding together in Gospel churches that display God's glory in this fallen world.
We are also brothers united in deep concern for the church and the Gospel. This concern is specifically addressed to certain trends within the church today. We are concerned about the tendency of so many churches to substitute technique for truth, therapy for theology, and management for ministry.
We are also concerned that God's glorious purpose for Christ's church is often eclipsed in concern by so many other issues, programs, technologies, and priorities. Furthermore, confusion over crucial questions concerning the authority of the Bible, the meaning of the Gospel, and the nature of truth itself have gravely weakened the church in terms of its witness, its work, and its identity.
We stand together for the Gospel - and for a full and gladdening recovery of the Gospel in the church. We are convinced that such a recovery will be evident in the form of faithful Gospel churches, each bearing faithful witness to the glory of God and the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Article I
We affirm that the sole authority for the Church is the Bible, verbally inspired, inerrant, infallible, and totally sufficient and trustworthy.
We deny that the Bible is a mere witness to the divine revelation, or that any portion of Scripture is marked by error, incompleteness, or the effects of human sinfulness.
Article II
We affirm that the authority and sufficiency of Scripture extends to the entire Bible, and therefore that the Bible is our final authority for all doctrine and practice.
We deny that any portion of the Bible is to be used in an effort to deny the truthfulness or trustworthiness of any other portion. We further deny any effort to identify a canon within the canon or, for example, to set the words of Jesus against the writings of Paul.
Article III
We affirm that the truth ever remains a central issue for the Church, and that the church must resist the allure of pragmatism and postmodern conceptions of truth as substitutes for obedience to the comprehensive truth claims of Scripture.
We deny that truth is merely a product of social construction or that the truth of the Gospel can be expressed or grounded in anything less than total confidence in the veracity of the Bible, the historicity of biblical events, and the abilityof language to convey understandable truth in sentence form. We further deny that the church can establish in its ministry on a foundation of pragmatism, current marketing techniques, or contemporary cultural fashions.
Article IV
We affirm the centrality of expository preaching in the church and the urgent need for a recovery of biblical exposition and the public reading of Scripture in worship.
We deny that God-honoring worship can marginalize or neglect the ministry of the Word as manifested through the exposition and public reading. We further deny that a church devoid of true biblical preaching can survive as a Gospel church.
Article V
We affirm that the Bible reveals God to be infinite in all his perfections, and thus truly omniscient, omnipotent, timeless, and self-existent. We further affirm that God posesses perfect knowledge of all things, past, present, and future, including human thoughts, acts, and decisions.
We deny that the God of the Bible is in any way limited in terms of knowledge or power or any other perfection or attribute, or that God has in any way limited his own perfections.
Article VI
We affirm that the doctrine of the Trinity is a Christian essential, bearing witness to the ontological reality of the one true God in three divine persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each of the same substance and perfections.
We deny the claim that the Trinity is not an essential doctrine, or that the Trinity can be understood in merely economic or functional categories.
Article VII
We affirm that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, in perfect, undiluted, and unconfused union throughout his incarnation and now eternally. We also affirm that Christ died on the cross as a substitute for sinners, as a sacrifice for sin, and as a propitiation of the wrath of God toward sin. We affirm the death, burial, and bodily resurrection of Christ as essential to the Gospel. We further affirm that Jesus Christ is Lord over His church, and that Christ will reign over the entire cosmos in fulfillment of the Father's gracious purpose.
We deny that the substitutionary character of Christ's atonement for sin can be compromised or denied without serious injury, or even repudiation, of the Gospel. We further deny that Jesus Christ is visible only in weakness, rather than in power, Lordship, or royal reign, or, conversely, that Christ is visible only in power, and never in weakness.
Article VIII
We affirm that salvation is all of grace, and that the Gospel is revealed to us in doctrines that most faithfully exalt God's sovereign purpose to save sinners and in His determination to save his redeemed people by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to His glory alone.
We deny any teaching, theological system, or means of presenting the Gospel that denies the centrality of God's grace as His gift of unmerited favor to sinners in Christ can be considered true doctrine.
Article IX
We affirm that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is God's means of bringing salvation to His people, that sinners are commanded to believe the Gospel, and that the church is commissioned to preach and teach the Gospel to all nations.
We deny that evangelsim can be reduced to any program, technique, or marketing approach. We further deny that salvation can be separated from repentence toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Article X
We affirm that salvation comes to those who truly beleive and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
We deny that there is salvation in any other name, or that saving faith can take any form other than conscious belief in the Lord Jesus Christ and His saving acts.
Article XI
We affirm the continuity of God's saving purpose and the Christological unity of the covenants. we further affirm a basic distinction between law and grace, and that the true Gospel exalts Christ's atoning work as the consummate and perfect fulfillment of the law.
We deny that the Bible presents any other means of salvation than God's gracious acceptance of sinners in Christ.
Article XII
We affirm that sinners are justified only through faith in Christ, and that justification by faith alone is essential and central to the Gospel.
We deny that any teaching that minimizes, denies, or confuses justification by faith alone can be considered true to the Gospel. We further deny that any teaching that separates regeneration and faith is a true rendering of the Gospel.
Article XIII
We affirm that the righteousness of Christ is imputed to believers by God's decree alone, and that this righteousness, imputed to the believer through faith alone, is the only righteousness that saves.
We deny that such righteousness is earned or deserved in any manner, is infused within the believer to any degree, or is realized in the believer through anything other than faith alone.
Article XIV
We affirm that the shape of Christian discipleship is congregational, and that God's purpose is evident in fait

Oh what shall I cover tonight? It is one of them nights where I am not sure what to talk on. I want to open asking you that read this to make sure your giving the Lord your best. I now have 2 jobs and I think about church and giving a lot to the Lord and tithing my cash to him. He has given me all the things and cash I have I just want to give because I love his word and want people to get a life in Jesus and throw out the old and make a serious effort at Jesus and his grace. It is the Lord that we need to give to and to the Lord we borrow our cash to. When we give to the needs of the poor I really think we honor the Lord more than if we give to a place that has the cash. We in this land have do much and as a land we ought to give more and help the world eat and know the Lord. No one who has hunger is going to care what the lord wants until we feed him or her in his care and give them a meal and then give them the truth in love. If you take anything take this tonight that we who have are few and many are without a home in places and no food. If you have give and if you are reading this and do not make a comment and lets see how we can get you fed.

By the way if your reading this you have more than 90 percent of the world and you can give to something, go to a food shelf and give them 20 and bless others. Or drop a check to the red cross or to salvation army in your local area. Do something.

Here is a list of things we do for the poor in the bible

Ex 23 3 3 You shall not show partiality to a poor man in his dispute.[1]

Neh 8 10 10 Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
11 So the Levites quieted all the people, saying, “Be still, for the day is holy; do not be grieved.” 12 And all the people went their way to eat and drink, to send portions and rejoice greatly, because they understood the words that were declared to them.[2]

Prov 22 2 The rich and the poor have this in common,
The Lord is the maker of them all.[3]
We are to love the poor and not favor anyone because of cash

Ps 82 3 Defend the poor and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy;
Free them from the hand of the wicked.[4]

We are to take care of the fatherless. Dads that’s your job. We are to defend the poor and the needy. If your in a place that has poor make friends with them and kind off watch out for them in the times of hard weather maybe check on them. It is a good thing to do.

Deu 14 28 28 “At the end of every third year you shall bring out the tithe of your produce of that year and store it up within your gates. 29 And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates, may come and eat and be satisfied, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.[5]
Welfare is in the bible friends so we need to give toward it. If you live in the USA you already give in tax to some of the poor. If you live in china or other places what do you do to help the poor?

Psalms 41 Blessed is he who considers the poor;
The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
2 The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive,
And he will be blessed on the earth;
You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.
3 The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness;
You will sustain him on his sickbed.[6]

If you help the poor God is going to help you in the day of trouble, he is going to keep you alive, You are going to be blessed on earth and in illness God is going to help. Hey take this and know it is a truth.

Proverbs 28 27 He who gives to the poor will not lack,
But he who hides his eyes will have many curses.[7]
You’re not going to lack when you give to the poor.

Went to the Y today and got into a talk with a gal that worked for northwest and she is retired and still gets free flights anywhere they go. I would love to have that in a job. On my week of fly anywhere I wanted to like New York and buy another home in CA. I want to work for the airlines and go wherever I want whenever I wanted. Go to grace whenever I could fly there on fri and go home on Monday. SO in light of that friends where do you want to go and why? Make comments and we will get to them.

Last night I talked about some the thing we need to do for the poor. People if your reading this you’re not poor and we need to follow the commands to get the blessings you can get by the word and the Lord. Lets look at what Jesus wants us to do for the poor.

Matt 5 42 42 Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.[1]

Here is a convicting thing for me at least. Have you ever been in the cities and had a panhandler ask you for cash. I wonder how the Lord thinks on that. I wonder if Jesus asked us to give the people a bit or not. Did he say you give but not to the beggar who asked us to give? I remember in Chicago when I was with a friends of mine and she was asked and gave some cash. I think it is something we ought to pray about and stuggle with and not ask but obey the Lord in this command.
I say play it safe and maytbe have a bit in your pocket for those times in your life when you might need to give a bit.

21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”[2]

Jesus made this demand to a ruler but are we willing to do the same? Does our stuff matter if the Lord askes you to give it to the poor and live in a place that is not all that rich? I wonder sometime who and what own me my stuff or the Lord. I am not that rich in the world’s eyes but do I handle my cash like I ought to or do I waste it. God does want us to enjoy the fruits of our labor and such. If you’re working and not enjoying life and some things maybe your not following the Lord right. You work and earn cash. It is ok to take cash and use it for playtime; I think God wants us to after we take care of the things we are asked to take care of. Yes give the Lord something but also pay yourself because you worked hard for your cash. I am going to the big city overnight and I am not gulty over it. I earned the cash to go and I am going.

Matt 24 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’[3]

This is going to be at the end and Jesus is going to ask if you helped the poor. I think we are going to be known in heaven for the things we did for the poor. I do think what you do with Jesus is tied to what you did for the poor. Some try to tell me this is for the times in the end and I say no it is for here and now. I think it is a job of folks and ours to feed the people and to give things to cloth the naked and to visit the sick that are not well off.

Is that not what this life is for?

First thing how can John Mac send out a letter and give his bible away and expect to make a bit for the church and their outreach. I think it is a step of faith and that is what I love about John Macarthur. He is faithful and he is a man that is not out to make a dollar but to outreach and spend Jesus to all he is able. He keeps his face in the Bible and that is a main thing in the life of a Christian and if your not in the bible as a Christian I really think your walk is not going to be anything. And if your not a Christian I would thing the bible is not going to make sence to you but I would read it anyhow because the truth is your life is still going to be before Jesus one day and your going to be judged by Jesus and it might be good for you to read the book of John and Romans so you have a chance to make heaven.

I want to give you all the notes from pastors sermon because they were so good and I want to have the verses in my files so I am able to use them when I am not being joyful or having a bad week.

God name is Joy and is found in Psalms 43
Psalms 43 4 Then I will go to the altar of God,
To God my exceeding joy;
And on the harp I will praise You,
O God, my God.[1]
God is my exceeding Joy and without God in life joy cannot be. God makes Joy a reward to them who does not love Jesus and serve him. If your not saved the Joy I am speaking of cannot be found.

Point one Stop looking to your past. Listen all your sins are gone and God has forgot them after you confess and release them to him. If you have sin in your life confess and repent and here is a list of What God does.
A God puts your sin out of sight
Is 38 17 Indeed it was for my own peace
That I had great bitterness;
But You have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption,
For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.[2]
God does not think about your sins and matter of fact they are out of his mind. Jesus made that possible on the cross by taking the punishment for sins. If you face your sin and confess your ok.
Psalms 103 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from u[3]
God does not deal as he has to because Jesus is taken the sins from us. If your holding on to your sin your not in grace.

B God put your sins out if his reach

Micah 7 Who is a God like You,
Pardoning iniquity
And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage?
He does not retain His anger forever,
Because He delights in mercy.
19 He will again have compassion on us,
And will subdue our iniquities.[4]
God pardoned your sin. Go free and stop living in the past.

C God has put your sin out of his mind

Jer 13 34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”[5]]
Like I said go free and live in forgiveness and not in your past.

D God has put your sins out of existence
Is 43 25 “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake;
And I will not remember your sins.[6]
If God took and destroys your sin why do you keep them in your mind?


Point 2 Omit all worry about the future. Matthew 6 is a good place to start. Jesus said consider the lilies of the field they do not worry but God feeds them.

Phil 3 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.[7]
1 forgetting the past
2 reaching for the prize of the call of Jesus

So what do you do when you worry about tomorrow?
Phil 4 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus[8]
PRAY about it and ask for the Lord to deal the stuff your dealing with.

1 peter 5 7 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.[9]

Point three Yield to Gods Purpose.
What is Gods Purpose it is to live for Jesus and his Glory. That is the only way to get Joy.

Phil 121 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain[10]
If I am alive I am alive for the Glory of Jesus and when I die I am going to be in heaven. Life is hard and I got a part of that last night working when I wanted to be done by 9 but got done at 11, long night

Pray this dangerous prayer, Lord I give all my lives to you so do with it as you want. If it means going to where ever to bring Jesus to others or if it means working hard unto Jesus longer than I want to so be it.

Phil 4 8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.[11]

Above is the truth we need to think about. If we think on the above we are not going to think on the bad things. It will make us joyous. Read the book of Philippians and your going to find Joy in it.

Point 4 Use what the lord gives me to help others. Jesus other and then you. Look it means you give to the poor and needy.

Point 5 Be content with your life.
Key to the life is this
Phil 4 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need[12]
Paul was in JAIL when he wrote the books he wrote and he had joy. He wrote about having Joy and having contentment in this time.

You can have joy because God is in control and finishes what he begins
All bible is from
[1]The New King James Version, (Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers) 1998, c1982.
.

SO Macarthur is the one that gives his bible to anyone that wants it does not ask for cash. It is a blessing to know John Macarthur is a true bible preacher. I do not know of another radio or TV ministry besides Billy Graham who give out free stuff every month and does not beg you for your cash. It is not found in this day of greed that people can go and get free things and if a place does it on free will offerings I think they are the people that spead Jesus. Yes it cost money but I think the message ought to be free. Jesus is not for sale and this blogger thinks if you have to pay to go to a church your in the wrong church. I pay to concerts and I am kind of offended. They ought to take a love offering and call it good. If people are not saved they ought not give and if people in the church do not give out of Love forget taking that cash for your church. One thing in my church Pastor will tell you if your not giving out of Love put the cash back in your pocket because God wants a cheerful giver and no other.

Lets get back to the Word and let it speak to us

Heb 9 11 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.[1]

Jesus is the great and only thing that ever forgave any sin for God. He came as the High Priest of the good things to come. In the old times the people had built a temple where in the holy of holies they had to have one go in and kill something to pay for the sins they did and if they sinned the week after they had to wait a year to get forgiven. They were sinful and did not have the gift we have today and that is the right to go into the Holy of holies and get our sin forgiven every time we sin. Jesus forgives you the moment you confess your sin and God has paid the fine out of the life of Jesus. How much more is the blood of Jesus going to impress God and clean you after you sin. For thousands of years that blood was not shed yet and they had to do it to show the death of Jesus. The lamb was a dumb thing that did not know they were paying for sin. Jesus however gave his life and knew what he was going to do in his death and what it would cost him. The blood of Jesus is his life and death.

In 15 we see that everyone under the old is redeemed by the death of Jesus. Jesus died for all the sin under the first covenant. He died for all the sin and it must have been awful. It goes back to Noah and Abe where God put Abe asleep and walked between the halfs and swore he was going to give a people and salvation to us. That salvation is Jesus and his dead body on the cross and ends with a grave Jesus left.
Note that last phase and that is the people were called. I think it means the one God gave the knowledge of himself. I maintain one cannot be saved unless God choose him to be. It is the Greek word so look it up.

know the comments on my blog are posted by one that does not know Jesus. So most of my comments are not going to go over with him. He knows I am saved and he wants me to be his way. But the truth is the truth and I am going to use the Lord to stomp on his comments. His comments were:

We already have the highest percentage of our populatation in jail in the industrialized world.. will locking everyone up really solve the problem?
First thing is you are not really understanding me. I am not asking to lock up people that are playing by the rules I am asking for the offenders of our laws to be locked up. Locking up a person is to show him he has broken a law and he pays for it and he pays for all of the time. I said that if you rape or kill you die because your done. I am not for people breaking the law and I am not for solveing the problem of proverty with my money or with the working mans money. Matter of fact I think taking money you do not earn is STEALING and this is not right. The bible said the government does not solve the poors problem and if you do not work you do not eat. Atop taking my money and giving it to the people who are not getting up and going to work and earning a check. I am not talking about people that need the help like the people who are honestly in need. I am sick of people telling me I owe them for work they did not do. I am working for my cash and not for tem to suck off welfare. Ok I am sick of the liberals stealing my money. We ought to pay for putting the bad people away and not for paying people to sit on the ass and watch TV.
Instead of spending more money on jails, why not spend more to end poverty, improve education, and make heathcare more affordable. Wouldn't that also reduce crime?
Because it is not my money that is going to end lives of the poor. It is their job to get out and find a job. It is not a governments Job to give you high ed. It is your job to go out and perform and get in to school and take a loan and work it off. It is hard but you might have to get work and take Jobs to pay your own way. It might mean you have to work tons of hours to get ahead at a job or 2 jobs to pay for health care if your in need. I am working to get off this stuff. Improving ed is not going to end crime if your not willing to bring the bible and Jesus into the school. God is the one people need to trust and if your not into God time to find his love is real and trust him. God said trust him and your taken care of and if you do not then to bad I am not going to bail you out. Healthcare is not a right. It is something you pay for and that takes a job. If you got a Job then you save your money and get ready. It is called take care of yourself. If you do not I am not at all needing to help you. People it is high time for everybody to work hard and get a bit in the bank and trust in God and if you do not life is a bitch and you might take it wrong but your in a heep of hurt if you think the government is there to serve you your view is wrong please never vote because it is going to cost me cash to help people

I need to write this to Pastor. First all I am all for your church going out and winning the lost to Jesus in this town of saint cloud. We are a city that needs Jesus and his love very badly. Yet I have gotten a report and need to address you on the things you need to do in order to win more folks. I got the report that you were rude to a person. Love is never rude and being rude will in fact make the sinner go away from you. Jesus was never rude to people and if he was I think he would of lost all the people. If your rude first of all your not in the spirit and that means your lost in the soul and the person is not going to want what you have, matter of fact your not being nice to them means your pushing Jesus and misrepresenting him and that is dangous. Our Job is to give them the truth and not a bunc h of things why one is going to hell or threaten salvation. If you do that they are going to call you things behind your back and not say good things about your church. I get all the feedback on anyone in my spear on what Pastor said or how they were treated. I am shocked and let many go by but I am not helping you do the work unless I tell you and share what they say. I am not saying your bad because we need you out there. I am saying what people tell me and what you could of done out in the world to win a soul.

It takes Jesus every time you go. If you have not spent time in the word of God and gotten sin confessed and the Spirit in your not going to win anyone. You need also to have the fruit of the spirit in you or your not going to win a soul. It is going to help if you pray every time you go and ask for the fruit of the Lord. I think a review of the fruit is a good thing for this letter. Love Are you in love with the Lord and do you love the person your talking to. If not stop talking to the person Joy I hope your happy when you are out in the world because if your not the people are going to see it and no sale. Peace, are you confronting them in a loving way because if your not people are going to laugh in your face and reject Jesus and the blood might be on you. Are you kind with people? Are you patience meaning they might be your only stop the whole night? Are you gentle and show compassion? If not forget them wanting you in their home or on the door. If your back they are going to not care about what your saying. Are you angry in any way? Bam you lose your temper your not really sharing Jesus and the truth. Matters of fact get to the point of the gospel then leave it there. People do not respond to your rants on their church or your music. If they come to the church or ask give it but your out talking about Jesus loving them and saving them not what music the church plays or the baptism of the spirit. Really folk could hear it other ways just share Jesus and be done. Others have good thoughts if your going to give them Jesus. Where in the bible can you be rude to sinners and where in the bible does it say Baptists are the only people in heaven. Love is not rude, Love is not proud and love is not seeking the persons need. We have to live that and if not knocking on a door is not going to work.

Please pray every time you go and seek the lost person and love them into heaven and be kind. It is Jesus love we need to show to the lost and nothing else is going to save.

Love you

I found a new gal to love and that is Kristin Chenoweth who so a opera singer out of OK> She is a Christian and she is a great singer and a soprano. If I cannot have my Christian rock then I will take a Christian soprano and love them. I guess they might have to be opera like to have some peoples love. I saw the movie RV and she sang a bit in the movie and I wish she had the national anthem on cd or tape. I think the anthem ought to be sung by good sopranos and only sopranos because they are so pretty. Well I got a entry in the free will contest and I am looking at it and I am not sure I can let it win Joshua was giving the people a choice and were they going to serve the gods or the Lord that they knew. I guess salvation had already been a part of the lives of the people and they were affirming the Lord as their God. God had been with them and they were given God. God had called Joshua to the role out of the mouth of Moses. God had selected the people in the old and they were the Jews. I know the choose is in the passage yet God gave the call and one must be enables by God to know the call and go to the lord. I know that I am being picky but I am just sharing the truth that free will is not in the bible. I need to define the phase because it might be misunderstood. Free will is the ability to come to Jesus with no aid of the power of Jesus asking you and prompting you. It is the truth on this blog that one cannot just come to Jesus for saving faith without the call of God. Furthermore and more harder to take I think the free will of man has nothing to do with salvation and thus I just lost half of my readers. I say that because no one has come to Jesus without the Spirit working. That makes Hebrews 5 and 6 reasonable to take and makes it make sense because one who has tasted the Lords love and rejects it has made salvation not their own and then the pre salvation work of God a thing that is rejected thus giving the sinner no hope in salvation. It does say whosoever believes yet it does not preclude the working of the Lord who wants all to be saved. One is unable to choose out of the blue to be saved. One must have the spirit working and pleading for the soul in a loving way. I know this is a thing that the church hates and wants not to be in the bible but it is and it is time people understand the bible is not logical nor made to be understood. God does not have to explain to anyone his mind because he is God. God does not owe anyone a logic to his word and many might read the bible and never get saved and some may never read the bible and be presented the truth and take it and be saved. I went to movies 2 times this weekend. I went and saw RV, which was a clean funny show that Kristin sang in. I thought Robin Williams was fun in the movie and so was the other movies. I liked how the family came together and saw each other. I think the families of this land ought to get rid of the tv and computers so they get to know eachother. I think if you get married and keep the tech stuff your not going to get to know each other and the kids. I think kids ought not watch TV for the first ten years of life and maybe till they are 16. I say that the Lord has to have your life and then maybe you can see the tube. Really TV is not good for the saved but I like it. I went to the Bats game for a few innings but I not till the end. It was fun to go to the game. But I wanted to stay latter but I wanted to take the bus home. I am such a wimp. I want work on Saturday and did some of my test for Hebrews which I am going to get back to

Later Win them for Jesus

I wish sometimes that the USA would give the punishments for crime Singapore does. I mean they do not mess around with people that do crimes. We need to put people in jail and not mess around with the breakers of Law. We need to tell people in this land you protect kids and tell the people who commit a sexual crime with a kid your gone 25 years on a guilty plea no questions. We need to tell any drug user they are going to 48 months of treatment and that is mandated. We need to tell a 1st degree killer you die in 6 months and mandate it. If you steal in this land we cut the hand off and make you pay all your money in including all savings and retirement. Loss of any government help also for a stealer and the loss of freedom for 10 years. I am sick of crime and I want the people to stop making a little slap on the wrist and hit hard and with a no mercy for crime. We need a harsh hard time for minor crimes because it would help people stop doing crimes and make it safe for people. I would also love to see the government make the mentel illness excuse to. Why do we need this kind of law? Because it is high time the people stop doing things that hurt others. I also think if you use a gun in a crime your locked up for 20 years. Any tax that needs to be raised is good to pay. Also a good thing is protecting the people that want to harm the people in this land. We make a tax for war times and we need a draft so we can be ready for the people and lands that want to harm this land. Also harming the people in your land is good enough for the USA to invade your palice and kill you leaders that harm the people they rule. God uses war and jails and allows governments to protect people by killing and locking away people that harm others. God demands the killing of a person that takes life and it is never said in the bible we cannot do it. I also think the spanking of kids in schools is needed to stop things like fighting and anything. Back in the old times you got the rod hitting your ass for things you did wrong and the bible said you are to spank.

I was asked about the people who shot the people in Iraq. I have decided that we are not going to take the peoples word for it and the men ought not be presude until Jefferson the one in the senate is prosecuted for frond. Look at this and tell me this heep is ok to stay in the office

Ok I know your reading this so you know Miss Katy I need to talk to you about your comments on your sight telling me your sis is a Calvinist. I am to and matter of fact you might also know that your out of dated King James is a book that teaches us that Jesus picks who goes to heaven. Look at Peter when Jesus tells him that the Father was the one who showed him who Jesus was. How bout Jesus saying that the father draws them who come to you. I will give a one hundred dollar bill who can show me free will is in the bible. God did not preserve the bible in on ly English as you say God has his word in many langues and for you to say the King James is the only word of God is a flaming lie and also to go and break the command of God and not honor your fathers and bad mouth makes your whole blog a sham. Before you go out and tell me I am not saved and all that go do a word study on the word Hell in the bible. Is it used rightly in the king James or should the New King James be used. So defending the KJV is not the only word of God. John Macarthur is NASB and he is a fine teacher. I know some people who went to a bible college who are NIV and other versions. And to say the KJV is the bible because it said it was is stupid and not good scholarship. If you want the best site on the net on the matter http://www.kjvonly.org/ is it. If you read this site and send me all mistakes I will trust you.
