Jesus is Real
This is important. God is not some fairy tale we tell to children like Santa Claus or the Easter bunny. He is real and he is moving all the time. Maybe you have not seen it. There are 6 billion people in the world, if you started now, and took 10 minutes to meet each one, it would take you 190 years to meet every person. How arrogant to claim that you know whether or not God is moving in peoples lives for real. When I pray he answers. I know he is real. I both love and fear him. Much as my son loves me and climbs on my lap, but if he loses his temper and starts beating on his sister, he has much to fear. Even as gracious as my punishments are, I make sure they are not pleasant. I even show grace sometimes and allow him to repent. But at some point children do not learn without some fear. Even if the punishment is no Nintendo DS for 24 hours. (Believe me he would rather have a spanking). We need to know that we serve a God of power. We do not serve some tiny helpless God that cries himself to sleep at night over the state of the world. We serve an AWESOME God of infinite power, that can do whatever he wants. We are where we are because of our sin. What is our biggest sin? Our lack of Faith.
Faith:
This is a good one, what is faith? Is it believing something can happen? Well that is one definition, but read the gospels with this thought in mind. Faith is believing in someone. Jesus was referring to God. Faith is believing that God can do anything, and that he will intervene on your behalf if you need it and you serve him. Faith is trusting God to pay your bills, and not going to a seminar on how to make more money. Faith is doing what you know to be right even if it may cost you your job, believing that God will protect those who obey him. Faith is trusting God with your health. I know the religion of medicine says you must see a doctor for your health, but I propose that you seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Am I saying I will not take my kids to the doctor? No. we have CHIP, and if they get sick and do not show signs of recovery, I will take them. But I will not trust a doctor with my child’s safety, and if they try and kill them like they have done so many others, I will put my foot down. My ex wife is dating a man who lost his brother to the incompetence of a hospital about 20 years ago. (He died of gangrene, which he contracted IN THE HOSPITAL due to a lack of sterilization on the part of the hospital staff). I suspect that the doctor was not even fired. I am not saying never use a doctor, I am saying trust GOD to save you, even if he uses a doctor, and NOT THE DOCTOR. (I have plenty of evidence that doctors are about as trustworthy as auto mechanics). Am I saying that auto mechanics are all bad? No. But you would be wise to know a little bit about how a car works before taking your car in to the shop. The same is true for your body. You should pray that God protects you from the doctors.
The bible I have actually says if any is sick among you, they should take them to the elders of the church, and the prayer offered in faith will heal the sick. This widely held belief is now pretty much illegal in America, enforced by CPS without due process. And if someone from CPS does happen upon this, I do have insurance for my children, and I will take them to the doctor if they get sick and do not show signs of recovery, I am being honest when I say that.
War:
I have the firm belief that faith in Jesus and war are incompatible. If God is real, he can defend you if he chooses, and if he does not, then it is better to die with a clear conscience, than live as a murderer. And make no mistake, war is murder. Jesus loves the troops, but he hates war.
The God I serve is all powerful, and does not live in the box so many have tried to put him in. My first duty is to find out what he wants me to do, and my second duty is to do it.
Mark 12:
The Greatest Commandment
28One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”
29“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.e 30Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’f 31The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’g There is no commandment greater than these.”
32“Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him. 33To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.
