In the face of the current news of our Plan Parenthood President Obama I can not help but wonder where his fruit will lead us ?

 Will funding abortions with tax dollars help open the flood gates of blessing on our country and then on the world ?

 How does killing the unborn help anyone other than removing one more “carbon foot print” of “a useless eater” ?

What kind of world view does a leader have to use his power to promote murder of the most innocent citizens he serves ?

These passages keep popping up in my mind as I see his works unfold before my eyes as he gives back to those who supported him with their blood money earned by the murder of millions !

Romans 3

15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:

17 And the way of peace have they not known:

18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

God help us Stop FOCA !

Live Birth Abortion is another form of Murder !

 God’s Truth is recorded in His Word but it is man who makes a guess based on assumptions and some observations into a near universally accepted “fact” .

  ”Currently, the most widely accepted hypothesis of the universe’s origin (and everything in it) is a theory called the Big Bang. This view hypothesizes that the Big Bang was an explosion of “space itself”—a concept difficult to understand partly because most people think of an explosion as the expansion of a material substance in space.” Below is a link to a article Dr. Jerry Bergman gives a brief history of intolerance in Modern Cosmology .”

Very often challenges to such dogmatic views including the challenge to Evolution can give fresh new direction to science and can led to major break through . When their faith in their hypothesis does not allow challenge it becomes something other than science it turns to a cultic religion and a danger to free thinking in that field . This is what we have in many fields of study today and this type of tyranny always leads to its down fall . Have you been exposed to such a effort to control ones thought in your education or the field of study of someone you know ? Please let me know . If we had all the funds wasted on supporting such claims as Big Bang and Evolution and those who work to force it on others in a exclusive manner and spent it on problems we faced over the last 50 to 100  years on the ecology and new energy sources our planet would be a lot cleaner place and many species that died off could have survived . What a waste of resources and even lives that were lost due to one race thinking it is superior to another on the evolutionary scale of injustice .

 “There is no life so empty as a self-centered life, and there is no life so centered as a self-emptied life.” As Jesus does for us He wants us to pour out ourself to others and the Holy Spirit will continually pour Himself into us.

 God is our provider in all of this as well as the starting point and the finisher of our faith as we grow in and through Him . In our natural state we are bent toward destruction by our self-centered life but there is hope for those who will allow themselves to be found . We have been living in the last days since the fall of man rejecting each encounter with God by most as they return to this bent .

2 Timothy 3:1-7  

 1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

It is God who seeks to have a everlasting relationship with the ones He knows will surrender their self to receive Christ . Even after Adam and Eve just sinned and mankind lost innocence God was the seeker as they tried to hide from Him .

Genesis 3

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.

9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

God tells us in Isaiah that He chooses who, how and when He will reveal Himself .

Isaiah 65

 1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.

 2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;

And Jesus tells His disciples that …

John 15

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

Being chosen and receiving His love and gift by our surrender of self through faith we are His children and as such can call to Him as Father or even Daddy .

 Galatians 4:6

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.  

Jesus taught us to pray “Our Father” in Matthew 6

 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

 11 Give us this day our daily bread.

 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

God save His children for His kingdom and His glory and has works of love for each that belong to Him .

1 Corinthians 3:9

For we are laborers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building .

He enters to abide with in us as His children and this enables us to do His works . He directs us to join in our work to keep us strong in Him . In Luke He tells us not to cling to what the Spirit gives but to pour it out and in doing so He will always add again . This is His way and is for all to understand that belongs to Him .

Luke 6

38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

I was reminded how much more effective this outpouring could be in unity over just one facing the head wind of the world by this thought of God’s creation working together . ” Canadian geese always fly in a “V” formation. Have you ever wondered why? Because the lead goose is moving the wind resistance for the rest of them. So while he is flapping real hard, the rest of them are cruising. After awhile, the lead goose gets tired and he falls back and the next goose moves up. Do you know what scientists have discovered in the wind tunnel experiments? That geese flying in a “V” formation can fly 72% further than one goose could fly by himself. Now who taught them to do that? ” My God did this and in us together can and will do great things !

Have a great and productive week in our Lord !

” Isn’t That Evolution?.. God designed animals to be able to undergo genetic mutations which would enable them to adapt to a wide range of environmental challenges while minimizing risk. “

 It is important to recognize that biologists use several distinct definitions for evolution that are often blurred together as if they are synonymous. Evolution is sometimes defined as “change in the genetic makeup (or gene frequency) of a population over time.” This has been observed; both creationists and evolutionists recognize this as important in building models to help us understand what likely happened in the past. A second definition of evolution involves the idea that all life descended from a common ancestor over millions of years through naturalistic processes. This has not been observed. In fact, it is in direct opposition to the testimony God (the eyewitness to creation) gives us in the Bible. The idea that all life has a common ancestor requires the assumption that the Bible’s history is false, and the assumption that changes which do occur could produce the variety of life we see today from a single-celled ancestor.

With regard to the first definition of evolution, creationists and evolutionists differ in the pattern of genetic changes they should expect to see. The creation model predicts that degenerative changes can occur because mankind sinned and brought death into the world. It also predicts that adaptive changes could occur because God cares for His creation and intends for the earth to be inhabited. Both types of changes have been observed. The fact that some foxes are adapted to live in the arctic while others are adapted to live in the desert fits perfectly with this biblical teaching. While evolutionists accept that these types of changes occur, their model requires that most genetic changes add information to the genome. This pattern has not been observed. Without this pattern they cannot account for the many organs and complex biochemical pathways that exist in animals today. Scientific observations show that there is an overall pattern of decay seen in the genome which is the opposite of what the evolutionary model would predict.

Another difference is the source of the genetic change. Evolutionists assume that random mutations and natural selection can account for the genetic changes that are seen. Since the underlying mechanism is naturalistic, changes were expected to be very slow. Contrary to their expectations, rapid adaptation has been observed, and evolutionists have had to adjust their thinking to accept this. Furthermore, detailed studies of the pattern in genetic differences within related animals don’t make sense if mutations are assumed to always be essentially random events. Something else is clearly going on here. It appears that God has placed some incredible programming into the genomes of the animals he created, and viruses may play some role in this.

Evidence of Horizontal Gene Transfer… Since viruses carry genetic material (DNA or RNA), they are the most logical agents to suspect in transferring genes. While horizontal gene transfer would not change the identity of an animal (i.e., it would still belong to the same kind), it could rapidly provide a source of genetic variability that allows for rapid adaptation. If this is the case, then viruses were created “good” (as in Genesis 1) with a support role much like bacteria are known to have.

For the complete article go to http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/aid/v4/n1/why-did-god-make-viruses

 In my heart I trust the Lord knew the fall would happen and the virus is both an expression of grace to allow for some adaptation and use as a tool to carry out the  pronounced sentence on creation that rejected their creator by sin . Through sin came disease and death !

 What would this world look like if people would have remained in the will of God and did obey from love that they had for Him and for each other . Living in a world of no sickness or death is a promise to the believer when they pass from this fallen world and travel to the Father through Christ by Faith .

Giving directions to those in grief and feeling their pain as they drove away .

 While going into Church today I was stopped by a driver who was looking for a certain road . I motioned to a friend to come over to help guide them to where they needed to go . After a few seconds I understood they were looking for a lost son . The night before the boat with 4 teens tipped over due to wind and waves . They had life jackets on but in the cold water one of the 4 lost his grip and swam as hard as he could to reach the shore 320 feet away . He was found unconscious and taken to the hospital . The other 3 were not found and are feared dead due to the conditions . Once in the church we found out more about it . During prayer request one of our male members was mentioned . It seems he thinks he saw the boat and when he looked again it was gone. At the time he just thought they left the area but he was hurting by the thought it must have been them . After Sunday School I went to support and give comfort to him .

 Please pray for each family of the young men and and for the rescue workers and for the one known to be alive that he may recover both in a physical and emotional way from this accident .

Thank you and God bless !

Remember in times as these ”the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked” and “Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD ” As the LORD has said !

 Jeremiah 17

4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.

5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.

13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.

14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

15 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.

16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.

17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.

18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

My Lord Jesus I trust on you more than plans or words of any person even mine or my own heart!  Fill me with your Word, your Spirit, your Love and your Wisdom . I trust only on you and ask you to help empty me from myself so I can receive and give more of you ! Help me grow into your spiritual image so you my God will be glorified in the works and fruits you bear in this life you give to me . Keep me on the path you set before me by the brightness of your everlasting light . I thank you Lord for this blessing and for your presence in this world and the promise of the world to come . In your hope and name I pray this and your word I share !

Amen !

 What does the hope for 2009 and  promises of God’s Word hold for the Children of The Way ?   

 Hebrews 6

 1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

 3 And this will we do, if God permit.

 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

 7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

 8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

 9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

 10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

 13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

 14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

 16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

 17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

 18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

 19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

 20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Take the next step knowing we are anchored in our High Priest Jesus who goes before us as our salvation . Knowing this and that God does not lie, grow to perfection to the spiritual likeness of God’s Son the Word made flesh ! This can be the best year yet no matter what happens if we grow in Him !

Do not forget what God the Father say of God the Son in Hebrews 1-8 .

 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

How wise are the elite people of the world ?

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Romans 1

The wise show their faith by trusting on Jesus as Lord and the vain profess they are wise by their own natural abilities and their superior mind which is well read .

 Jesus is the only way by which we are justified by faith without the deeds of the law. For by the law is the knowledge of sin and by God’s grace Jesus paid by His blood the just price of that sin !

Romans 3

 9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

 13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:

 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:

 17 And the way of peace have they not known:

 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

 19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
