Suppose

Suppose you continue to raise up a great nation from this one man. You lead them to ancient Egypt where they are forced to live together for hundreds of years and become a distinct people. They grow to over a million. Yet they soon forget the miracles you did for their forefathers. At the right time you bring them out of Egypt with an incredible display of mighty miracles. In one final demonstration of your power, you show them that it is only by covering their dwelling with the blood of the most innocent of creatures (a lamb) that they can be spared judgment.

You continue to teach them a pattern. You bring deserved judgment on an evil Egyptian nation and kill the first-born child in every household. You separate your people from the influence of an evil world. You bring them through a sea with a wall of water on their right and a wall of water standing on their left to demonstrate that they are being baptised into a new life. Yet, incredibly, they immediately return to their evil ways. They build idols to other gods. They refuse to enter the land which you have provided. They are a stubborn and rebellious people. But you have a plan.

Suppose you allow your chosen people to spend 40 years wandering in the wilderness in order to teach them many lessons. You teach them that they must depend wholly on you for their sustenance and that they must come back to you each day for refilling. You teach them that they will be healed when they look upon a symbol of evil which is raised up on a wooden pole. You teach them that they must put their sins upon something other than themselves because they can never pay for their own sins. You teach them that life-giving water comes from a rock. You begin to teach them that it is only by the shedding of innocent blood that their sins can be forgiven. Each year they must bring an innocent creature - a spotless lamb - and slit its throat in a gruesome, bloody sacrifice. It makes no sense. But you are laying a pattern. Suppose you finally bring them into a special land made just for them. You delayed until the people living in that land had been given every possible opportunity to turn from their wicked ways. Then you win battle after battle for your people. You show them that you are giving this land to them. You drop walls of impregnable cities...You hurtle meteorites from space to destroy enemy armies...You stop the sun in the sky at their request...You drop giants with a single stone...You destroy entire enemy armies at the request of those who love you. Yet your people refuse to obey you. But it’s okay, you have a plan.

Suppose that time and time again you send messengers to tell your people how to behave. Yet they kill the messengers and always drift back into their evil ways. But you love this people. You tell them over and over again that you are going to send a Savior. You tell them where He will be born. You tell them, hundreds of years before it happens, the exact day when He will enter Jerusalem and declare Himself their eternal King. You tell them that He will become their eternal sacrifice so that they can end their pitiful and hopeless pursuit to work their way into your favor. You describe in minute detail over 300 specific details of what you are about to do for them. Their response is to kill the messengers who bring the promises. But you love these people. Through them you will show all people how much you love them. The time for your plan has come.

The time to complete the plan which You conceived before laying the foundation of the universe...the plan started before the first molecule was created and the first electromagnetic wave appeared... the plan laid out before the first animal was made and you breathed life, spirit, and part of yourself into these people whom You love so much...had arrived. You become a man. Permanently, for all eternity, you become human.

Suppose, at just the right time, thousands of years after history began, it was time to demonstrate to humanity what love means. You did not come to earth as an arrogant ruler... but as a humble servant to wash the feet of others. You did not arrive with fanfare and pomp ... but left the glory of heaven to become a baby born in an animal stall. Your prophets had told of this... but this was not what your people expected.

Suppose that you start your ministry to your chosen people by announcing that you are the Lamb who has come to take away the sins of the world. Surely they will understand the implication after 2000 years of teaching. You demonstrate who you are by healing sickness, restoring blindness, and allowing the lame to walk. You cast out demons which have oppressed your beloved people for millenniums. You show that you control creation by calming storms with a word and walking on water. You create wine from water and food to feed thousands. Yet they still follow you with their stomachs and not their hearts. Your prophets had told them these things would happen... but this was not what your people expected.

Suppose you spent three years patiently teaching your people how to live and who you are. You repeatedly teach them that you are the rock upon which they must build their lives. You hate the arrogant lie that Your children can earn their way into your presence. Your character is justice and justice requires payment for sin. Yet no man can pay the price. Throughout history Satan has deceived your children into believing that religion can save them. You expose the lies and hypocrisy of salvation by religious acts. You hate religion. Your harshest words are for these religious leaders. They are the ones who should know you best...but you are not whom they expected.

Suppose that the climax, which has been building since man first sinned, arrives. You pray for some other way to save mankind from his sin and restore fellowship with the Father. But there is no other way. You allow yourself to be taken. You make no defense in mock trial after mock trial because whom you represent (mankind) is guilty and deserves judgment. You allow Satan to pour his fury out upon you. You are beaten so severely that you hardly look human. You are whipped so severely that your back resembles raw hamburger. Your beard is ripped out, thorns are thrust onto your head, you are slapped, cursed, and spit upon. Nails are driven through your feet and wrists and you are left hanging on a pole to die. You could destroy the entire universe with a word, but you chose instead...to suffer. You become that symbol of sin lifted on a pole which will heal your people. But this is not what they expected.

But suppose this is not the worst. For the first time in eternity, you are separated from the Father. You actually become sin and the part of yourself left in heaven, the Father, pours out his wrath upon you. You pay the price for every sin ever committed by every person in the past, present, and future. The anguish is incomprehensible. Your innocent blood is shed for the sins of humanity. You are the innocent lamb sacrificed for others. You die for them. It is not what they expected ... they do not understand.

Suppose that three days later you rise from the dead to show that...at long last, they can have victory over death. Death has lost its sting. You have shown that there is nothing they can do to bridge the chasm between themselves and their Maker...you have done it all. But it is not free. They must love you more than their wickedness. You have shown them that there is no other way. There is no religious system, or set of rules which will allow them to earn their way to heaven. They have been trying to do this since they first sinned. They have been trying to cover their sins with fig leaves from the very start. You showed them that innocent blood...your blood would be required. But is was not what they expected.

The plan was finally complete. The path back to you is open to all who are willing to accept it. You have done everything you could possibly do to restore fellowship between sinful man and yourself. You have satisfied the perfect justice required of your nature. You took the penalty which they deserved. You have shown absolute mercy by providing a bridge over the chasm between sinful man and a perfect God. You have made it so simple that anyone can understand it. You have done it all. But it was not what they expected.

Suppose that this is history. It is Christianity. It is reality.

Will you accept His love?

Evolution: Approaching the Subject

Evolution: Approaching the Subject

Any of you that have teen age children will probably have a difficult time approaching the subject with them because they have already been thoroughly indoctrinated in the subject. You may feel extremely nervous about it because you may feel as if you do not know enough about the subject or about creation for that matter. You may be nervous about having proof for creation versus evolution, especially if you watch the Learning Channel you will see their supposed factual evidence supporting evolution and you can believe that your children have had this information provided to them from an early age. So how do you discuss it? First off if you haven’t been on your knees before God, surrendering your life to Him, I would not even attempt to discuss it with them because as I stated before if they do not see the obedience in you they are not going to believe what the Bible has to say, but if you have surrendered and committed your life to Him the next step is being familiar with the creation story in Genesis. If you have a study Bible use the reference verses to look up other verses that may have relevance. You can also go to Ken Hamm’s “Answers in Genesis” web site to help you in this area.

Whenever I speak to anyone concerning evolution they are always bringing up proof that supports evolution and that if the earth was as young as the Bible claims then there would be sufficient evidence to support it. The problem is not the evidence because the very evidence that they have to prove their point is the very evidence that we have to support creation the difference is the way the evidence is viewed. The important thing is to never lose your cool when discussing it when they can’t seem to see it your way. This is extremely important when it is your child because you are trying to reveal Christ through you. Remember that we are told that the world cannot discern the scriptures because they are spiritually discerned, so do not start by quoting a bunch of scripture. Now if you have younger children reading the creation story is a good way to start teaching them creation.

Much of science is best guess when it comes to determining the answer, while you run test you will always have a percentage of inaccuracy within the test to obtain the desired result so the way that the test is conducted depends upon the result that is desired. If all of my conclusions are based upon the fact that the earth is billions of years old then I know that the different strata layers depict age so if I have retrieved a fossil from the layer that I have already determined to be millions of years ago and I have run a test that shows it to be only a few thousand years old then I am going to add a percentage of inaccuracy to accomplish my desired age of several million years. Now on the creation side because I know from God’s word that the Bible is true then I do not have to add those percentages because the result is accurate. You see the evidence is proof yet it is the presupposed result that generates the difference.

Evolutionists believe in natural selection—that is real science, as you observe it happening. Well, creationists also believe in natural selection. Evolutionists accept the science of genetics—well, so do creationists.

‘However, here is the difference: Evolutionists believe that, over millions of years, one kind of animal has changed into a totally different kind. However, creationists, based on the Bible’s account of origins, believe that God created separate kinds of animals and plants to reproduce their own kind—therefore one kind will not turn into a totally different kind.

‘Now this can be tested in the present. The scientific observations support the creationist interpretation that the changes we see are not creating new information. The changes are all within the originally created pool of information of that kind; sorting, shuffling or degrading it. The creationist account of history, based on the Bible, provides the correct basis to interpret the evidence of the present—and real science confirms the interpretation.’

My point is that if we Christians really understood that all evidence is actually interpreted on the basis of certain presuppositions, then we wouldn’t be in the least bit intimidated by the evolutionists’ supposed ‘evidence.’ We should instead be looking at the evolutionist’s (or old-earther’s) interpretation of the evidence, and how the same evidence could be interpreted within a biblical framework and be confirmed by testable and repeatable science.

In my discussions I attempt to get them to let go of those biased opinions in order to see the results as they are. No matter how much evidence I was to provide for them, they will never see it from the Bible’s viewpoint therefore I must allow God to work in order to break down those presuppositions. When they realize that their logic does not make sense then they will change direction of the conversation to prove their point in another area and even go as far as denying their own theory when discussing morality. In my discussion with the atheist when he had no where else to go he then brought up the legitimacy of the existence of Christ and when that didn’t work he proceeded to call me a liar. He then changed direction and stated that even if there was proof of Christ and His miracles there was no proof that He was the Son of God.

As you look at the many changes in direction it is only to get you first of all angry so that you might say something that you shouldn’t say therefore they have you because if Christ was really the Son of God and you believed in Him the way the Bible says that you should then you wouldn’t say the things that you say, which enforces their theory of evolution with reverting to the animal tendencies. The other reason this is done is to get you to throw out one of the debunked evidences of creation such as the moon dust. You can find these on the Answers in Genesis website. The reason I say they are debunked is because again they utilize the presupposed results, in other words I can run the same test and come up with an answer that would also support evolution in the result. Again if you fall into the trap you will be ridiculed and any progress you had made up until that point will be lost and you will have to start all over again.

The one thing I love is to get them to begin thinking beyond the limits of their teachings, when they have to reach outside of the box in order to provide an answer it is like watching the light bulb go off in their head. The same thing can be realized in a text message because the order of their words reveals the thoughts going into what they are writing. In dealing with your teen it can be the same experience. The best way to discuss evolution with them is in nature itself because when they see the remarkable creation before their very eyes it is hard to deny. Of course the alone time with them is very important for the discussion because it shows them that they are important to you. The other thing that you have to realize is that by forgoing what they have been indoctrinated with at school they are going to be giving up a lot preconceived rights. They will have to begin being responsible for their own actions, which you will have to enforce. The purpose is to draw them to Christ not just remove evolution from their thinking. Again Christ does the work not you; your job is to be obedient to Him. Once we see them begin to understand it then makes it easier to show them the gospel because until this point it is important to remember that to them God has no power and Jesus was just a good man and not the Son of God. They do not see their sins as exceedingly wicked nor do they see their need for a Savior but hopefully with the aid of the Holy Spirit you can plant the seed that God uses to draw them to Him.

Evolution: Indoctrinating Our Children, Part 2

Evolution: Indoctrinating Our Children, Part 2

When I first began writing this series I knew that it was by the leading of the Holy Spirit and all that I was doing was being obedient to His direction. The more I wrote the more understanding I myself was getting in relationship to the message He was providing me however there was still some inner conflict that I was facing. I felt that while I knew I was being obedient was I really following His leading or was I putting too much of myself into the text that I was writing. Over the last couple of days I have been in a discussion with an atheistic Jew who also believes in evolution. When He kept trying to push me into providing proof I insisted that any proof that I would provide he would not accept because it did not fit into his presupposed concept of acceptable proof so he attempted to turn the discussion into proof of Jesus and while I gave him the facts that He was mentioned historically and through government documents of the era, he still refused that evidence. Feeling frustrated I found the Answers in Genesis website and lo and behold I was given conformation with what I was writing. I quickly said thank you to the Father and began reading some of what Ken Hamm had written and found that much of his writings coincide with what I felt led to write.

You see while we have not actually discussed evolution in theory we have discussed the effects of it; the reason being is so that we can understand how our failure to put Christ first allows evolution to sink into our children’s hearts. Let me share with you some notes from Ken’s website Answers in Genesis.

So I said:

‘Pastors, here’s the problem. The students know that evolution and its teachings contradicts the Bible’s teaching about Adam and Eve. Then they come to your religion classes and hear you teach from the Bible. However, since they think that the Bible is an outdated book which has been disproved by science, why should they be interested in listening to what you have to say?’

I suggested that before they could really teach effectively about the other issues, they needed to get the students’ attention that the Bible was the infallible Word of God, and really could be trusted.

After all, if the first book in the Bible can’t be trusted in their eyes—why should any other? As one lady put it to me 20 years later:

‘When my church told me that I had to accept evolution, and that Genesis couldn’t be believed as written, I asked, when does God start telling the truth, then?’

Working with the pastors, we devised a series of lessons that showed the students that evolution was just a belief—there weren’t any ape-men—evolutionists had not proved the earth was billions of years old—there were major problems with their theories about the origin of the solar system.

When the pastors presented these lessons—they were astonished. The students sat up and listened. They were extremely interested—and they had lots of questions. ‘What about carbon dating, then? Where do dinosaurs fit in? Why don’t our teachers tell us this information?’

What a difference it made! Many of the students showed intense interest in spiritual things. Later, when the pastors began teaching about Jesus in the New Testament, they had much more success in getting these young people to listen and take note.

At the time, I didn’t realize that I was involved in developing a method of evangelism that I later came to understand as ‘Creation Evangelism.’ Not only is this based on the Bible, but it is one of the most powerful methods for reaching today’s world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Do you see the importance here? It is not enough to tell them the Bible is true we have to live as if it is true. If they don’t see it in us they are not going to believe it to be true. They have more than enough evidence in the world from evolution that tells them that God doesn’t exist and the bible can’t be trusted. So even if they had been raised in the church they are not going to instantly believe the bible especially if you the parent are not practicing obedience to God. Before you claim that you can believe in both let me show you what Ken had to say about that.

Some are eager to point out that in cases like the Inquisition, and more recently clergy involved in sex abuses against children, ‘the church’ is hypocritical. Of course, the Bible strongly condemns these and other forms of crime, and those acting in these ways are inconsistent with what the Bible teaches.

However, evolutionists who argue this way are being inconsistent with their own philosophy. Because if there is no Creator who sets absolute rules, such as ‘You shall not murder’ (which is what the Nazis did to the Jews, totally consistent with their evolutionary beliefs), then the only rules that exist are what we as a society make up.

A theistic evolutionist may profess belief in a rule-giving Creator, but because of his/her de facto rejection of a reliable revelation, how can the rules be known for certain?

Simply put, if the Bible misleads in Genesis, how do we know when it can be trusted elsewhere, including its moral teaching? Jesus said (John 3:12): ‘I have spoken to you about earthly things and you do not believe; so how will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?’

This is the very thing that I had pointed out before however I feel it does a better job explaining why the two don’t mix. I can’t help but wonder if this is why so many refuse to surrender their lives to Christ. Let’s look at what evolution takes away from us when allowed to be believed in the schools or in the home. This becomes even more dangerous in a Christian home where parents do not believe in the Bible as God’s inspired word or when they include evolution into their belief of the bible.

Consider this:

1. A gospel without the message of the Creator, and the origin of sin and death, is a gospel without the foundational knowledge that is necessary to understand the rest of the gospel. Without this information—who then is Jesus Christ? Why did He need to die? Where did sin come from? Why can we say that all have sinned? Why do we die?
2. A gospel without the message of Christ crucified and raised from the dead is a gospel without power. As Paul said: ‘And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins’ (1 Corinthians 15:17). The only reason our personal sins can be forgiven and our relationship with our Creator be restored, is because of what Christ did on the cross. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is central to the gospel.
3. A gospel without the message of the new heavens and earth, is a gospel without hope. What point is there to a gospel with no future sinless state? Because of sin and the judgment of the Curse, the creation is ‘groaning’ (Romans 8:22). There is death, sickness and suffering all around us. However, we need to understand that death is an intrusion. In 1 Corinthians 15:26, Paul states it this way: ‘The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.’

I would like to include a fourth point here because I believe it to the key point which enforces the gospel message.

4. A gospel message without a life to enforce the message destroys the very message it attempts to

establish. This is the very message of Christ when He stated in Mark 8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, “Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” And again in Matthew 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

Consider this; from very early records we see that man has shown a high degree of culture and understanding in law and moral/societal behaviour. Dating from the 17^th century before Christ is the Code of Hammurabi, a Babylonian king who, according to secular historians, came to power about 1750 bc. This set of laws, governing situations such as marriage, commerce and theft is generally regarded as one of the best and earliest written codes of law for a society. The proper functioning of law depends on the existence of an ultimate authority. Speaking of a society which was crumbling because of a lack of authority, the Bible says: ‘In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes’ (Judges 21:25).

The Ten Commandments are considered, even by many non-Christians, to be a foundational set of rules for moral and ethical living. But if they were written by only a man, then they are no more ‘right’ than someone else’s opposite view. In rejecting Biblical absolutes, will modern law eventually cease from allowing criminals to be branded with ‘wrong-doer’ in favour of the more evolutionarily consistent concept of a ‘socially-unacceptable choice’? Some evolutionists have excused even rape on the grounds that males’ genes and ‘less civilized’ evolutionary past predispose them to such actions.

As the evolutionary foundation of no right or wrong overtakes the Biblical concept of personal responsibility, we can expect people to have less defined boundaries in both young and adult life, resulting in increasing social and family problems.

Can you see the importance of seeking God’s face daily as a part of the training up your child in the way that he should go? Since we have allowed evolution to exist, it is up to us to not only teach our children that it is only a theory but to also live as God has commanded us to live. This is not a salvation by works but evidence of our salvation by our works.

In the next segment we will discuss more about how to discuss evolution versus creation

Uncovering Hidden Effects of Evolution

Uncovering Hidden Effects of Evolution

As we continue I want to look at one of the effects of Evolution; since evolution in essence denies God or His power it opens up the thinking that we are inherently able to determine for ourselves what is basically good or evil and since these differ from one person to the next just as they do within nature then we are unable to negate another persons beliefs thus the introduction of tolerance. In being tolerant one must accept another’s beliefs regardless of the harm it may to do that person or others around them. It is also indoctrinating others beliefs into your own to create a belief system that will; in their thinking; enhance you as a person. The question then becomes how does one generate this thinking into the general public and especially into the bible believing community? With the general public it was easy because with the teaching of evolution it was obvious that by eliminating a supernatural power, (God) you could essentially establish your own moralistic community in which everyone could do what was right in their own eyes and because man has evolved from animals any behavior that was deemed against the moral laws of the government could be blamed on the influence of their surroundings; and if that is the case, we can then soften those laws through the court system. This concept worked excellently for them and they were soon able to either forego sentences with probation or the transgressor was able to receive psychological evaluations which ultimately proved their case because in most cases the patient recalled suppressed memories. Whether these memories were true or false did not matter because they provided the ammunition that was needed to wage war on those who did not readily accept their new belief system.

This new battle needed even more ammunition then what they had expected so in order to wage a good battle they had to strike at the core of their belief system, which was God. Since they already had evolution as a way to show how the earth could be created without God the next step is to remove God from the school system. When they accomplished that it was easy for them to promote their new belief system and many of the students eagerly accepted it because it diminished the power of the parents. They suddenly had rights that they never imagined and because sin is exciting they eagerly ran head first to these new found rights and while they had found some success it still was not enough. There had to be a way to gain a greater foothold. They needed to be able to establish laws that would protect their new belief system and without a greater foothold that would be impossible to do. They had to soften the views of the holdouts and the only way to do that was through media. What people watch on television and how they spent leisure time greatly affected their thinking, so if they could create media that would seem innocent enough in context they could eventually cause them to drop their guard; therefore allowing them to ultimately change their thought process and during that transformation they could install their new laws.

However; how can you change a person’s viewpoint on something that has long been seen as wrong or dabbling with evil? The answer is you change the perception by making it seem unbelievable or by changing the behaviors of the person performing the act by making them inherently good in deed even though their act is against someone’s beliefs. Hence you have now accomplished a difference in their view of the act. For example if someone has had a hard life and nothing ever seems to go right for them. They are a loving father or mother but they lose their jobs and begin stealing to provide food for their families and then they begin providing for their friends and before long you find yourself cheering for them and when they finally get caught you secretly hope they get let off. Now all along they had a neighbor who tried to help them by providing a job but he wanted them to clean up a little bit. The position required them to have contact with people who would view the way she dressed as inappropriate or the smell of alcohol on their breathe as unacceptable yet we find ourselves pointing our finger at the neighbor for requiring such things.

Let’s take a look at another situation. You have a young boy who is rather plain. He doesn’t fit in with many people and is kind of a misfit. Unbeknown to him he has magical powers that are revealed to him by a friend of his parents who happens to be a wizard and he is invited to a school especially for kids like him but even there he is outcast by the more popular students so he develops these powers and while he never outright attacks his tormentor he does spells to make him look stupid. The premises is that there is good magic and bad magic and one shouldn’t judge the act but the person who is performing the act regardless of where their powers came from. Of course this opens a huge problem because it encourages those who are not readily accepted by peers to seek out a way to obtain these powers and parents unwittingly allow them to not only watch these shows but read the books. The reality is that these powers do exist and they do not come from God but that is a topic for another time the purpose of this is to open your eyes as to how we allow our hearts and minds to be changed from what God tells us in His word to be true.

As you allow them to change your thinking you ultimately become more desensitized to the things of the world and you then begin to accept more and more of their ideology. As this happens you start walking further and further away from God until you no longer believe that He really requires a daily relationship with you and is happy with you living the way you are living as long as you mention Him now and then in a quick prayer or go to church on special occasions; after all He created nature for us to enjoy so what is wrong with worshiping Him at the beach on Sunday instead of church?

As I come to a close here you may be wondering how this applies to evolution? I want you to stop and think about that for a moment. Send me your thoughts on how it either applies or does not apply and I will attempt to answer all of them. Let me assure you of this one thing. Everything mentioned here does stem from the belief in evolution and the question is; how does it affect you.

Introduction to Destruction

As I have read the post here I have not only had my heart broken but I have also became quite angry at the insensitivity of others reading these post. I see the same response from many in congregations across America today. Could it be that we have desensitized ourselves to the things of God that when we read these things or hear the preaching of the word of God that we sit back and tell ourselves that it really doesn't concern us. It is like we think that we are okay and we don't have to worry about these things because we go to church every Sunday and we live in a nice subdivision. These things don't happen to people in our class; they only happen to those who are living in projects or to those who don't go to church. Let me assure you that the influence that is being reported here will affect you and your children much quicker than any one else and here is the reason. We have walked away from God, telling him that, He is fine for Sunday but as for the rest of the week, they belong to us. When scripture told us that we rob God in tithes and offerings it was not merely talking about the money we give but also the time that we need to spend with Him through out the rest of the week. When our children do not see God in us the rest of the week, they are being taught by us that He is not really all that important. We are saying that it is good to have a belief in something because it makes you a good person and this is where the worlds teaching comes in and takes over the job that we are supposed to have.

Look back at the Old Testament at the children of Israel. When they did not live for God their children chased after other gods; they took wives from the world and did what was right in their own eyes. When we allowed evolution to be taught in the schools as fact and not theory it was easy for them to grab the church kids who came from good homes. They were easy to manipulate because they did not see God in their home every day of the week. They did not see Him being important enough for their parents to have a daily relationship with Him and therefore it was easy for them to accept the concept that they were simply following a tradition instead of the living TRUE God.

Pro 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

The bible was not talking about insuring that your kids get a good education and make lots of money. It is speaking of raising them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. As a horse trainer I know that in order for me to properly train a horse it has to be done on a continual basis. it has to be a daily exercise in order to get the desired results. All of the athletes in the Olympics today will attest to this very same concept and yet we as Christians refuse to practice these things with our children. If they graduate from the best college and are making lots of money it does not mean a thing if they are living in habitual sin because the moment they die they are going to be standing before God and are going to have to give an account for their lives and who are they going to point the finger at. You see if you are telling them that they can't listen to Marilyn Manson because his music is bad yet every time you get into the car together you have Styx or Queen playing on the radio are you really sending him the proper message or if you have Faith Hill or Montgomery Gentry blaring on your radio; it is not sending him the proper message because to them you are just not being tolerant of their music just as your parents were not tolerant of the music you listened to at home. You see the daily training is not there.

Now does this mean that the child raised in a home where God is first and foremost won't rebel? No, it doesn't but there will be a less likely chance that they will. If they see the presence of God daily in your life they are less likely to fall into the teachings of the world. The failure of doing this is what evolution thrives on because it offers an explanation that makes sense to them when they do not see God working in your live daily. Let me attempt to make this a little simpler for you. If God is not powerful enough to keep you from listening to secular music then He must not be powerful enough to speak the world into existence therefore He must have used evolution to create the world or He simply does not exist and since He does not exist then there is no judgment for sin and I can live as I want and do what makes me happy regardless, because without judgment there is no condemnation so why should I go to church where there are rules set up by man. I hope that you can see the reasoning here. It is simply an attempt to justify ones actions and behaviors by eliminating God who to them is not worthy of their attention since He is not worthy of your devotion.

If this is getting you angry I hope that you realize it is the Holy Spirit working and not me for my intention is not to glorify myself but God. These are not my words but the words I have felt led to write based upon the scriptures. I have a series that I have put together involving evolution and how it is destroying our homes but more devastating than evolution is our continuance to refuse to surrender our lives to our Savior. The purpose behind the series is to show us how our disobedience is allowing the theory to shut out the truth.

2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

My prayer is this, that you will allow God to speak to you through this and that it would cause you to draw closer to Him.
Stephen (Hisway)

The devils sidekick, Marilyn Manson

First of all let me say this. I grew up in the time when the Beatles, Kiss, Ted Nugget and the such were popular but with the 1970's came a bolder music than ever before, then proceeded to get worse as time went along. The parents of the 1950's kids thought that was bad, I can just imagine what they would be thinking 20-30 yrs. later.

I have recently read a story about one of the most sickest people of all time, in my opinion. I will base my story on facts as I go.

This sick and demented person goes by the stage name of Marilyn Manson. The devil's side kick. I make NO apologises and if this article offends you, GOOD.

This man believes in satan from the word go. He preaches it to our young as well as the older generation. He is grabbing them right and left. He is not ashamed of anything he does and flaunts it around daring others to do something about it. Manson promotes hatred to the Christian people and does everything he can to try to destroy them. He cusses the Christians, spits on pictures of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and even tears up the Holy Bible, while on stage. He even has his band members drink his urine through straws. Is there something wrong with this picture?

http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Evils%20in%20America/marilyn_manson-the_truth.htm

Marilyn Manson promotes bisexual, homosexuality, just sex period. Apparently this man has no morals at all. He has been known to have sex with his band members while on stage and pees on his audience.

I Thess. 4:3; 7
"For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication; For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness."
He is not only cruel to humans but also to animals as well. He smokes human bones and encourages his audience to rip up animals and spread the blood over their bodies.

NOTE: I am writing this as a Christian woman and and a human. I do not hate this man, I detest what he stands for. Anything against God is for the devil. Anything against God or his people is monsterous and is what is known as SIN. I will NOT give the devil any kind of credit by capitalizing his name in any way, shape or form.

This evil person claims to be a preacher or recruiter for the " Church of Satan". Well what do you know? The devil is trying to copy God. Manson stands for all that is evil, disgusting and vile. There is not a good bone in his bone. He is known for burning Bibles and giving "alter calls" for satan. He wants kids to denounce Jesus and turn their backs on him and follow satan and look at him (Manson) as the antichrist. He has also taken the cross of Jesus and deficated on it, as well as urinated on pictures of Jesus. He not only destroys property but he destroys lives as well. Here is a quote from one of the fathers of a boy that was killed at Columbine High School, " I think he promotes suicide, and with him promoting suicide, he encourages people to kill as many people as they can before committing suicide--very similar to what happened at Columbine". Manson also stated that in his Denver concert was going to be in honor of the two teenagers who were responsible for the deaths and stated that they, the killers were true heros.



In his "Holy Wood" cd he mocks the crucifixion of Jesus and goes even further and commits blasphemy by saying that this is " Jesus rotting on a cross." All of his songs promote filth of some kind, but he really takes it in two songs, if you want to call them that, Born again and Lamb of God. These two songs are full of hateful blasphemy.

We as Christian wear braclets that have the letters WWJD, standing for What would Jesus do, Manson takes them and sells them saying it stands for "We want Jesus dead". Well, here is the funny part. He still has "Jesus" in it. He can't get rid of that, no matter how hard he tries. Jesus is Jesus and will always be Jesus.

Marilyn Manson has been arrested numerous times and has been banned from 13 states. We as Christians need to stand together and get rid of this kind of trash once and for all. It has also been said that he has thrown drugs out for the people.

Let me say this. If you are for Marilyn Manson, you are against God. Theres is NOTHING good about this person. He stands for everything that God is against.




God Marilyn Manson

1. Love Hate
2. Virginity Sexuality
3. Against murder For murder
4. Against rape For rape
5. Against drugs For drugs
6. For life For death
7. Truth Lies
8. Respect Disrespect
9. Sold out to Jesus Soldout to the devil
10. Obedience Rivelry


The list could go on. I can not for the life of me understand why anyone would want to be a part of this trash. I do not have a problem with gothics as far as it goes as long as they conduct themselves proper and respect others and treat others fairly. Marilyn Manson doesn't even respect himself let alone others. What a disppointment he must have been.

We all need to ban together and pray for this man that he will see the light of Jesus and come away from the grip of the devil. I was talking to a friend of mine as well as my husband and I am afraid that unless God gets a hold of this guy, he WILL roast in hell. My husband and I agree that given every thing that this guy has done, he probably has blamphemed against the Holy Ghost as well, which according to the Bible IS NOT forgivable.

Stand up for what is right and lets tell the guy that we will no longer take his trash. Parents, go through your kid's cd's and look to see what is in them, listen to them, and if they DO NOT promote God all the way through. Take a hammer and smash them to bits and mail them back to Manson and let him know just what you think of his music or the lack there of. Refuse to allow your money or that of your children to be spent on pure filth such as this.

Here are a site that has the lyrics to some of his trash. Please read it, but be warned that it is filth and offensive. If you find anything among the lyrics that could possibly praise our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, please let me know. All of his actions speak louder than any word that I can possibly say.

http://www.azlyrics.com/m/marilyn.html

I truly hope and pray that this offends you. As I was reading this article on Manson, I was sickened that people would want to follow this guy. Made my skin crawl and my head ache at all the filth and trash that this man stands for. There is an old saying, " The truth hurts for only a little while, but a lie will hurt for ever". The truth will set you free and a lie will send you straight to hell.

Stand up for what is right and let us get this filth off the air, out of the stores and away from our children.

Here are a few scriptures that show us exactly what is thought of the very things that Manson holds dear.


Act 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
1Co 6:13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
Eph 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
Eph 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
Eph 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Eph 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
Lev 19:4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
Jas 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Jas 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Jas 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

The Gaming Store

Upon Entering the gaming store, I told them I needed to get a list of what to get my kids for Christmas.. I told them my son is more so into Video Games, but had NO IDEA what to get him.

So they started telling me what the hot sellers are..
1. Guitar Hero (in the last one..you sell your soul to the devil Lou, whom is your manager) We will cover this game a bit later.
2. Grand Theft Auto.. Not even rated for kids..this game is heavy with violence and sexual Content.

2 Bands to be aware of..that Kids Love...

As a youth, we loved being mall rats. We knew what stores we wanted, and did not in any way want to dress like a adult..

So today I went to the mall with one thing on my mind..I wanted to see what the kids were watching, playing with, and listening to.

I believe one of my biggest shocks came from Hot Topics. This store is aimed at Teens.. has some really killer teen clothing..etc. (www.hottopics.com)


Upon looking at the T-shirts, we did not stay long.

One T-shirt had a demon on the front of it, and the saying "Lamb Of God."
Another T-shirt had a cross with a "X" through it, saying "Bad Religion"

Now..I came home and did my research.. Folks.. your kids are listening to these bands.

So there you have it....

I have much more coming on our trip to the mall. But these I wanted to cover first and foremost.

Pay attention to what your kids are listening to...

Do YOU know what your kids are doing at the bus stop?

Upon walking my kids to the bus stop this morning, I was horrified to find a group of middle school kids smoking! I kid you not..smoking.. lighting him.. passing the cigerettes around like they were gold.

Now...Questions I want to know...
1. Who bought them?
2. Does their parents know?
3. Why are these young kids not being checked up on by their parents.

Parents...I strongly suggest that you make surprise vists to the bus stop. I want to share a article with you from this site.

http://www.bio-medicine.org/medicine-news/Children-Of-Smokers-Start-Smoking-Early---5060-1/

The children of smokers are likely to begin smoking between 13 and 21 years of age - earlier than those whose parents don't smoke, says a new study. Researchers at the University of Washington tracked the development of positive and antisocial behaviours among 808 individuals.

They originally were recruited as fifth-grade students from elementary schools in high-crime Seattle neighbourhoods, reports science portal EurekAlert. "Keeping children from smoking starts with parents and their behaviour.

Some parents say they disapprove of teenage smoking, but continue to smoke themselves," said Karl Hill, director of the University of Washington's Seattle Social Development Project and an associate research professor of social work. "

The evidence is clear from this study that if parents don't want their children to start smoking, it is important for them to stop or reduce their own smoking," Hill said. Children whose parents smoked are twice as likely to begin smoking between 13 and 21.

Twelve-year-olds, whose parents smoked, were more than two times as likely to begin smoking cigarettes on a daily basis between the ages of 13 and 21 than children, whose parents didn't use tobacco, the study concludes. The researchers interviewed individuals at ages 13, 14, 15, 16, 18 and 21. The group was nearly equally divided among males and females. Forty-six percent were white, 24 percent were black, 21 percent were Asian Americans, 6 percent were American Indians and three percent were from other ethnic backgrounds.

The study found differences in daily smoking rates both by gender and racial background. Over all, 37 percent of the individuals reported daily smoking by age 21, of which 42 percent were males and 32 percent females, according to the study. Whites (43 percent) were more likely to have begun regular smoking by 21 than blacks (35 percent) and Asian Americans (24 percent


To me, this is serious.. as kids as young as 13 years old start smoking. I really hope all of you as Parents will begin checking up on your kids at the bus stop.

Tomorrow Will Be Too Late To Change!

I was reading something the other day and was absolutely Blown Away by what I saw! I thought about it and tried to make sense of it but no matter how much I tried, I just couldn't make any sense out of it at all!

Here... take a look!

Alice Cooper To Open Christian Youth Center

Alice Cooper shook the rock world in the 1970s with on-stage beheadings and songs about dead babies; now he's opening a Christian youth center in Phoenix.
The $3 million center Cooper is establishing with Grand Canyon University in Phoenix will be similar to a Boys Club with a school of rock and roll, a concert hall and sports activities -- except all will have a Christian thrust, the Arizona Republic reported Tuesday.
The United States "needs a good hypodermic needle shot of morality," said Cooper, the 58-year-old born-again son of a Christian minister and grandson of an evangelist.
The singer of "Dead Babies," "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and "Welcome to My Nightmare" said the club called The Rock will offer a variety of wholesome activities free of charge to youth ages 12-18.
The project is still in the design stage and Cooper said he's looking to add corporate sponsors to help its funding with an eye toward starting construction next year.

There you have it... If this is the "Christian" influence that is being made available to our children then WE ARE ALL IN TROUBLE!!!!

I am a Pastor and a Parent, I can sit here all night long and give you example after example of one tragic story after another about how Rock Music and it's wicked influence has trapped, snared, enslaved, destroyed, bound up, hung, shot, murdered, beat, stranded, ruined and ended the lives of untold numbers.

I could tell you of Alice, who wound up taking a razor blade and tried to cut her face off, Mark who hung himself in his own closet while his parents slept in the next room. The 11 year old who took a gun and blew his head off just because the "Music Told Him Too". The millions of teenage suicides that take place every year and we never hear of them!

The world in which we live is a wicked place. We as parents have a great responsibility to watch over our children, to protect them from the world, the flesh and the devil. I am glad to have the opportunity to speak out about this particular issue... It is one that has plagued me most of my own life, you are not alone in standing against this thing.

I will write much more in the future!

Wizards of Waverly Place

I was asked today to show someone if Disney's "Witches of Waverly Place" was indeed a good show for kids. This person lets his kids watch it..and he told me if I could prove this show was not good for kids..he would not allow them to watch the show..

So with that said, let us look at the show.
The following was taken from this site.

"These days, wizards and witches are extremely popular. The Harry Potter series is one of the most popular book series. The movies are also really popular. Of course, there's also The Lord of the Rings Triology. Disney has aired the movies Twitches and Twitches Too. Wizards of Waverly Place is about three teenage witches who have to learn their magic. The oldest is Justin, the middle is Alex, and the youngest is Max. The only girl is Alex. They have wizard classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays which are taught by their father. Their father makes sure that this is an obligation before any other activities. It is not clear if their friends no if they are wizards. However, the bullies do not know that they are wizards. Of course, they still deal with normal teenage issues. They go to normal public school and deal with friends and bullies. Normal teens have to deal with the stuff as well. However, as wizards, they have to deal with this and learning magic. Being that there are three wizards in one family, there are also many sibling conflicts. They also get themselves into trouble. The thing is that they can even get themselves into extra trouble by using the magic that they do know. The series does not start off with them not knowing that they are wizards. They already know that they are wizards. They also already know some of the magic spells they can perform. They are even already used to many of the wizarding objects. Of course, the spells are mainly nonsense made up of silly Latin, other languages, and English with funny word endings. What is great is that Disney Channel makes fun of the "wizard spells," by having the stars of the show make fun of them by showing silly ways of doing "magic," tricks, and other illusions. It makes children go, "Hey, I can do that!" and does not make them want to do the fake magic quite as much. The series is another original Disney Channel series. As of viewing the first episode, it is full of comedy like the other original Disney Channel series. This is definitely going to be comedy that is fun for the whole family to watch."
***********************************************************************************

Now that we have looked at what the World has to say.. shall we go and see what God has to say??

Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Gal 5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Notice.Witchcraft is up with Murderers

Deu 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
Deu 18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
Deu 18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
Deu 18:13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.


Now.. with putting all this into order.. God detests and tells his people NOT TO BE a wizard.. or necromancer.. a psychic.. Now lets travel to Romans

Rom 1:13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
Rom 1:14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
Rom 1:15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. Rom 1:16 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.
Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Rom 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Rom 1:20 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:
Rom 1:21 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.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Look Closely at Verse 32.. KNOWING the judgment of God.. That they who commit these sins are worthy of death (My paraphrase) (they know the people that do these acts are worthy of death.. NOT ONLY do the same.. But they take pleasure in watching others do them......

TV!!!!!!!!!!!! The shows we watch..we Know.. Witches will not be in heaven..Fornicators will NOT be in heaven..and yet.. how often do we watch this on TV and NOT turn the channel......

So.. watching this lovely Disney Show about these sweet teenagers whom are witches being taught by their dad.. that will not be in heaven..and taking a form of amusement or entertainment in it.. WE ARE ARE GUILTY OF The same thing and will be held accountable.


Now..I ask you.. is this something you want to watch?? Do you find delight in this?? Do you want your children think it is cool to cast spells? And finally, if Jesus were sitting with you in your home when the show came on..would you turn it on and watch it in front of him??

Remember Jesus lives IN YOU....

Harry Potter. Now that is a very popular series of books and movies. I myself liked to watch these movies, never thinking really about what it entailed. Just for entertainment is why I watched them.

I never really thought about the implications and the doors that these books and movies would and could open.
I have been teased by my son and two of my dear Christian friends about these movies and like most people got kind of offended about it all. Even now my son gets onto me about Harry Potter and the message that it sends out. How can something that looked to inviting be so wrong for you? Well, let me tell ya, while doing the research for this article, I have discovered a lot that is wrong with these books and movies.
I have found that this is a real good way for satan to get into our lives, not realizing it, and bringing havoc to our lives. We may not notice it at first but sooner or later it will become evedent in our lives.

I pray that this article will be a blessing to you and open up your eyes to the ways that satan can use seemingly innocent things to bring us down, even Christians such as I. My friend asked me to write this article, knowing that I liked Harry Potter, in hopes that by it coming from someone who did like him, that you would see that even we Christians can be sucked in by eye candy.



Harry Potter is written for imagination and fantasy when in reality it covers up the true stories of witchcraft. It brings out the true training and work that it takes to become a witch.

What Harry learns he immediately applies it to his life plus he believes that everything he thinks, says and feels is the result of magic. His foundation is in magic through will. This extention of will is the foundational occult truth.

The truth is, that everything that we do, say, or think comes from our belief system, what ever that may be.

Harry's writer has made sure that we all feel sympathy for Harry situation. Many of us may have come from such a background and can and do feel for him. We search for things that will make us whole, wanted, accepted and loved. This is where a lot of the world's problems come into play. Sex, alcohol, drugs just to name a few along with witchcraft. Harry comes from parents who love him and are killed into a home full of complaining, judging and being made fun of. All of a sudden at a tender age of 11 years old he is accepted into the Hogwarts School. There he becomes popular, which we all desire, and is being taught the ways of a witch. At the very beginning, Harry is learning that instant gratification can be found in most areas of his life. He is taught situation ethics rather than absolute values of right and wrong.

As I was doing research for this I found an article about how the books of Harry Potter are parallel with any occult order. Pretty scary if you ask me. Here is an article about such a thing. Harry Potter paralleling with actual occult orders.

http://www.crossroad.to/ask-peter/hp-overview-1.htm

These books and movies are teaching our children that instant gratification is easier to obtain that it is to use our God given abilities to reason the rights and wrongs of our situations. Although instand gratification is what we all want, is it practical in most cases? I think not.

Each time that Harry casts a spell and we watch and listen to that spell we are opening up a door for satan to step in and do whatever he can to destoy our lives. Witchcraft is a very real thing and not something to be taken lightly. People are very open to suggestion and these books and movies suggest a lot. These books also teach revenge. Although Harry is trying to right the wrongs that was done to his family and to conquer evil, revenge is not the way to go. There are far better ways of doing it. God's way. Let the revenge be his.

In Harry Potter, the author is teaching our children the names of real demons. Now that is truly scary. These characters are NOT made up, they are very real. When real witches go to meetings and the such, they greet one another "Blessed be" and when they depart they say " The force be with you". As one real witch says in an article, which I will provide, says that the "Force" are satan. There is no good side of the force that overcomes the bad. The blood of Jesus is the only thing that will destroy evil, which is th satanic "Force" Satan and his witchcraft is only meant for evil, even though he will tell you differently.

http://www.lasttrumpetministries.org/tracts/tract7.html

Please by all means do your own research and check into what your children are watching on tv. As many of us have jobs outside the home, we look to the tv to entertain our children. Great babysitter to some of us. Look into what they are watching, filling them full of and how it is affecting their lives.

Like most of you, I saw no harm in Harry Potter, at least at first. I now find a lot wrong with it. I do not want to be guilty in filling my grandchildren with this junk.

The Bible has this to say:

"And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the Word of God and prevailed." Acts 18: 18-19

I am adding an article that comes from a born again Christian who came out of the witchcraft scene. It is amazing on what is going on in their world and how much of it spills into ours.

http://www.pacinst.com/witch.htm


Be very careful about what you watch. You are your childrens guardians from the Lord and they were given to you as a gift, to treasure, to teach the ways of the Lord. We will ALL be held accountable for what our children have or are learning when we all get before God and he judges us. Do we want to be judged on the things that we have done right in his eyes, go into Heaven to live with him forever or be judged for the wrong things and get told by our Lord and Savior "Go away, I don't know you" then burn in Hell for all eternity, wishing that we could change all the things that we did wrong in our lives. Now is the time to change. Don't let another day go by. Change the things that we can change.

I hope and pray that this scares you into action. Don't let your children suffer at the devil's hands. Change them and mold them into a person that Jesus wants them to be. This is your job as parents, not to subject them to any of the devils devices such as witchcraft. A very dangerous world. As a former witch once said, "Harry Potter books are training manuels for the occult". http://www.pacinst.com/witch.htm

One of my very own daughters told me one time that if school had been like Hogwarts she would never have left school. Yes, it does look exciting and I can see where this would interest children all over the world. My daughter was right when she said that. She meant it, as she has a learning disability and finds it hard to read and retain what she reads. She learns better by "hands on". How much more hands on can you get?

The courts in our great America have banned religion and prayer in our schools. Trying to get rid of our 10 Commandments that our country was founded on and destroy our very foundation and yet witchcraft is being allowed in these areas. Library's for one. Every school in America has a library and I am sure that Harry Potter is in each of them, poisoning our childrens minds with trash. Teachers are using Harry Potter in their classrooms in order to intice our children to learn.

Please, be aware of what your children are reading and watching as well as playing on the game cubes, x-box, wii and the such. The devil is not limited to just books and tv.

I want to give my son and two dear friends for following God's leading and opening my eyes to the dangers of this movie.

Man Sues God

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,297121,00.html

This story Taken from Fox News
Nebraska Democratic State Senator Ernie Chambers has decided to go straight to the top in an effort to stop natural disasters from befalling the world.
Chambers filed a lawsuit against God in Douglas County Court Friday afternoon, KPTM Fox 42 reported.
Click here for more from KPTM Fox 42 in Omaha.
The suit asks for a "permanent injunction ordering Defendant to cease certain harmful activities and the making of terroristic threats."
The lawsuit identifies the plaintiff as, "the duly elected and serving State Senator from the 11th Legislative District in Omaha, Nebraska."
Chambers also cites that the, "defendant directly and proximately has caused, inter alia, fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornados, pestilential plagues..."
Chambers says he isn't suing God because he has any kind of beef with the deity. He says the suit is to fight possible laws restricting the filing of frivolous lawsuits. Chambers tells KPTM FOX 42 News that his lawsuit is in response to bills brought forth by other state senators to try and stop lawsuits from being filed.
"The Constitution requires that the courthouse doors be open, so you cannot prohibit the filing of suits," Chambers says. "Anyone can sue anyone they choose, even God."
Chambers bases his ability to sue God, as, "that defendant, being omnipresent, is personally present in Douglas County."

Now with that said, By one man sin entered into the world, because of sin, we have the actions of others, crime, plagues, tornado's hurricanes, sickness, pain, and the list goes on and on. How can a nation that has turned its back on God even expect things to go perfect.
Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
The Bible tells us in the end days these things will become worse.
Rev 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. Rev 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. Rev 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. Rev 16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. Rev 16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. Rev 16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. Rev 16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. Rev 16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. Rev 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. Rev 16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, Rev 16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
We are a nation founded on God..and yet..how quickly we shove God out of our life when things are going fine. It is now offensive to have Bible's in the class room. Once the very foundation of our society and now it is nothing to many individuals.
In the end... God will be the one to judge this case... I wonder what His verdict will be.
Php 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Php 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Country Music

Now, I must admit that this song has a catchy tune and I liked it. Never really paid attention to the lyrics and probably wouldn't have if it hadn't been for a friend of mine and Paula's, enlightening us about what we were listening to as Christian women.

Take a few minutes to read the words to this song.



Baby likes to Rock it.

You know she likes to take me dancin' on the outskirts of town where the music's turned up and the lights are turned down

Shakin'-Shakin'-Shakin' on the dance-dance floorCrowd-crowd-screamin'-screamin'-more-more-more!She got the boogie woogie woogie spread all over the placeShe's got it stacked to the ceilin'-got it stickin' in your face

My baby likes to rock it like a boogie woogie choo choo train

Johnny's in the back room suckin' on his ginPolice are at the front door screamin' let me inGo-Go-Go-Go- dancer's busy showin' off her chestShe don't know what she's doin' but she tries to do her bestShe got the boogie woogie woogie spread all over the placeShe's got it stacked to the ceilin'-got it stickin' in your face

My baby likes to rock it like a boogie woogie choo choo train

Baby likes to rock itBaby likes to rock itBaby likes to rock it like a boogie woogie choo choo trainShe got the boogie woogie woogie spread all over the placeShe's got it stacked to the ceilin'-got it stickin' in your face

My baby likes to rock it like a boogie woogie choo choo train

She said her name was "Emergency" and asked to see my gunHer telephone number was 911Got Brother Jimmy on the TV- Killer on the stereoShe said if you want to get it...you got to let it goShe got the boogie woogie woogie spread all over the placeShe's got it stacked to the ceilin'-got it stickin' in your face

My baby likes to rock it like a boogie woogie choo choo train

Baby likes to rock itBaby likes to rock itBaby likes to rock it like a boogie woogie choo choo trainShe got the boogie woogie woogie spread all over the placeShe's got it stacked to the ceilin'-got it stickin' in your face

My baby likes to rock it like a boogie woogie choo choo train


Right off the bat it has a description about a womans body sticking in your face. Then it goes on to tell you that Johnny is in the back room sucking on his gin. These two things right here are promoting sex and alcohol. Then the next verse talks about a girl saying her number is 911 and wants to see this dudes gun. Now, I know we are not dumb so we can all figure that one out.

This is the kind of music that our kids are listening too. Leading the kids to think that it is ok for them to have sex and drink. Well it isn't.

Our Bible tells us in Eph. 5:3

" But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covertousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints."

I Thess. 4:3

" For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication."

Our guide book has a lot of scriptures in it about fornication and the such. If God requires this of us, we should require that of our children as well. Our children were given to us, a gift from God, to raise up to serve the Lord and to follow his directions. We, as parents most of the time, don't pay attention to what our children watch and listen too. What is being put in their minds and corrupting them.

I challenge you to pay more attention to what your children are listening to and watching. It is becoming of the Lord? Is that what he would want us to let our children listen too?

Raise up your children unto the Lord and when they are old they will not depart from it. Prov. 22:6 (paraphrased)
