Christmas thoughts
In Isiah 9:6 we are shown the true love of our Father, that is if we are truly his. It is odd that many who celebrate Christmas deny its king by relegating his worship to mere tradition. Indeed the evil of men’s hearts is such that the blessing of celebrating something good often becomes a burden.
Truly you can see in America what happens when men celebrate darkness and the light of men is dimmed.Sin becomes merely stupidity and some of the greatest heroes are those who lie and take advantage of others. Due to their own frailties chritians are mocked as hypocrites, not for the fact that they fall but because they pursue true rightiousness.
In 2nd Timothy 3 we are told of a a group which models today’s society. These people have a form of Godliness and often say they are Christians but nthe fruit of their lives when not at church as displayed in the first 5 verses of this portion of scripture make very plain.
Now if you look at the context that is the surrounding verses this passage is talking about false teachers as the end of the previous chapter makes plain. As in all things though the principle is very applicable to society in mass. What gives this time of year true hope, the knowledge of our Lord and Savior cannot be destroyed. This is why Satan hates this holiday and seeks to make it anything but about that Jesus of Nazereth, the One who died and rose, the coming promised King who is of the line of David yet existed before all time.

DO you love the Law?
In Deuteronomy 4 Moses tells the People to not forget the
words of the Law. He instructs them to follow them that they may live. Jesus
Later says those that Love him will obey his commands. The love of the law is the mark of any true
lover of Christ. Those who preach Christ without a love of law are false
followers.
This is not an attack on grace which is needed because no
man can fully obey the law and those who try are already breaking the law of
love because they are trying by their own strength and thus spitting on the
gift of God.
Verse 5 says that the reason Moses taught them the law was
so that the people might lay hold of the promised land. The law or rules if you
will are not the way to salvation but anyone who hates ‘s instruction is not of
him no matter how much they espuse so called love. Love is only love when built
on a foundation of justice.
Proverbs says that the man who hates discipline lacks
understanding and indeed we should praise God for his correction and guidelines
for his interference proves that He loves us. Thus when people say that you can
be cursed because you do not give tithe or something like that in a way they
are right. Whether tithe applies to the New Testament believer is a whole other
issue, the point is God does curse especially works of his own errant children
in the hope that they will turn.
Law reveals the path to God. Grace pays the fair. Paul put it best when he talked about the
slave that has authority over the child until that child is of Age.

Spooked: A Poem
Spooked
There is a car in the mirror
Footsteps in the park
My room doesn’t feel right
What is in the heart?
Spooked

Footsteps in the park
My room doesn’t feel right
What is in the heart?
Spooked
The stranger needs a ride
Maids clean up the room
An over friendly clerk
The clouds are filled with gloom
Spooked
Some say open sources
They’ve changed the ancient craft
But to walk sublimely
It seems kind of daft

If you are so innocent
Why should one even care
Because of privacy and freedom
The crescent and the bear

Repost from Saturday, September 25, 2004
Why do people say the
major parties are basically the same? Granted there are
many questionable people and actions in both, but the differences are
astounding. In history of course the Democrats and Republicans were
historically very different parties and both are in need of returning to the
values of the founders.
One party supports
abortion/murder of babies, It supports Gay and lesbians radicals, It believes
that the government should take care of us. The other party has traditionally
leaned more toward the sanctity of life and marriage as well as Knowing the
government is not our parent.
You can say well I'm voting for
an individual not a party but history has shown that a mans companions
tend to influence him and he gives up his principles. Al Gore used to
be Pro- life but when he hit national democratic scene he switched.
