BEWARE OF THE DATA WE FEED ON

                        BEWARE OF THE DATA WE FEED ON  

                               (For the Local Newspaper)  

  Along with many, I have a deep concern regarding the growing tension and resentments in our Country. The polarized divide between the political, logistical, social, and moral views within our society is widening, and with that suspicions and accusations are mounting. If we hit boiling point, what will be the outcome?

  The media always have intriguing articles and pictures regarding the conflicts around the world. Years ago, as soon as I had opportunity, I would grab a magazine to see what kind of dark deeds were transpiring, how the battles were going, and what kind of diabolical plots the “evil adversaries” were up to. Imagine that, those articles had all non-bias and accurate facts! REALLY? As time went on my anger grew increasingly bitter against certain people. One evening I came to the realization that hate was being nurtured in my heart, and as a Christian I knew I had crossed the line. Jesus commanded us to love one another. I finally realized I was being led down the wrong path and it was time to cut out the poisonous influences from my life. Jesus said we are to be the salt and light of the world, to be peace makers, and to overcome evil with good. True, there are bad things in the world, and we are not to live peaceably with them, accept them, nor ignore them, but how we deal with them in a Christ-like way is another matter. We know that we are out of step with the Lord if we despise or hate people. The Bible teaches us that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against evil spirits. So how do we fight them?  We use the timeless tools of faith and Love which are in Christ Jesus the Lord. Another super weapon we have next to faith and love is prayer, and that too we should use at all times.

   Friends, please be careful regarding who and what you listen to, and where your thoughts and feelings and leading you, lest we too become like the things that make us angry.

What Does God Want Me To Do?

                                 What Does God Want Me To Do? "I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, which shall all My will." 1 Samuel 13:14 "Jesus said to them, 'My food is to do the will of Him Who sent Me, and to accomplish His work.'" John 4:34 "For I have come down from Heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him Who sent Me."  John 6:38 "But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus ..."

It is merely a general overview pointing out some critical aspects of our Journey with and in the Lord.

                          SUICIDE IS NOT A RIGHT, OPTION, NOR ANSWER!!!  If you have ever been tempted with the thought of Suicide, if you have ever regarded the total self-devaluation of your person as in any way valid, if you have ever deemed your situation or life as hopeless, or considered your extreme pain and pending fears unbearable, please consider these facts that you may survive this LETHAL ATTACK AGAINST YOUR PERSON - YOU ARE UNIMAGINABLY IMPORTANT, VALUABLE, AND BEAUTIFUL - YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD!!!
