Chip off the Old Block...

This morning when I woke up I had a tug on my heart to talk with my daughter about her faith, as something she said the night before was still working on me. She told me of a game that they were playing at school that had some questions about the bible. She knew all the answers and one of the kids attempted to make fun of her and called her religious. She said I'm not religious and tried to explain the difference but the kid ran away. Of course she was going to use the law (1o Commandments) to convict the kid but he ran away.

We decided that we are getting some bibles that kids would read and she would hand them out to the kids that are searching for God. Now, the coolest thing is that I see her following in the old mans steps and evangelizing those around her with the law and gospel of Jesus Christ. We talked about her friends and the ones that could back her up and she has a plan to deliver the saving message to those that as she put it are like the way she used to be. If it wasn't for this ministry (The Way Of The Master) and my learning the way to truly evangelize, my kids would not know the law which they have since memorized.

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

The Narrow Road...

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it".

Those are the words found in the verse's at Matthew 7:13-14 NIV this passage relates to our inherent attitudes towards money, material possessions and our love or lack there of. Allow me to expand; love is the driving force of the Christian experience and a professed Christian's identity must mirror God's love in all that we do.

For example if we give a tithe on a weekly/monthly basis and we do it not out of love you may as well keep the dough and put it in a hedge fund or other growth vehicle because at least that could benefit you or your family later on. Remember what Albert Einstein said “The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest” and although compound interest is powerful I would think that the creator of the universe is much more powerful even then compounding interest.

Let us suppose that all we do, we do out of love for our brethren and that would include; the all of mankind. Let us also suppose that God compounds those things we do and gives us our reward in heaven not on earth. Would that not preclude the fact then some of us may struggle financially while some of us will have more than they need. Also consider that economics is a very tricky and specialized topic. And that this world will devise every possible way to get you to pay more than you should for just about everything you need or consume. So compounding interest could work for or against you depending on your economic savvy and your know how!

Money and material possessions are a part of this world consider this article I wrote for Allvoices on Positive Human Potential it has a very elementary introduction to the atom and the use of matter in this world. Consider also that the bible continually focuses more on the spiritual part of us then the physical when we are told in Matthew 6 not to worry, to give in secret, to store treasure in heaven not on earth, to fast and to pray.

If there is one thing I have learned from my christian experience; it is to pray and wait for God's timing not my own and all will be as God wills it...

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Blasphemy...

Today I stopped at the grocery store to grab a couple things for supper and proceeded to the quick check-out you know the one 12 items or less. In front of me was a young woman with two children a boy and a girl, the girl was around 4 and the boy had to be at least six.

The young boy was playing with his jet fighter toy and using some bag ties he picked up in produce to modify it. The young girl was reading a free grocery store magazine full of advertising, you know the kind full of movies and such. she comes across some ads for movies and proceeds to blaspheme God with the traditional OMG.

Her mother looks at her and scolds her but not in a mean way, it was very loving with a you should know better than that tone in her voice as she says her name out loud. The young girl say's sorry Mom I meant to say Oh my gosh.

It made my heart glad to have witnessed that and it hit me that blasphemy has become a common old hat everyday occurrence that children pick up on easily as part of speech. If we are parents and we follow the biblical proverb found in Proverbs 22:6 that say's;

Train a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not turn from it.

Then we are surely doing what we should by training our children the way they should go and to look at their own wrongdoings and to be aware of what they say and how they say it.

To live a conscious life bereft of excuses.

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
