Decisions
Today I would like to speak to you about decisions or the lack there of!
We know that the decision of Adam and Eve brought sin into our world.
There is another person who through integrity made a decision, which started a blessing that we cannot even imagine its importance. Her name is Ruth. A foreigner to Israel but became a decision-maker that changed the future of that land. She said, because of integrity and devotion to her widowed mother-in-law and dead husband, “your God will be my God”.

The Cost of Confronting Evil
I was going through the last three chapters of the Book of Judges in Chapters 19, 20, & 21. In doing so I reflected upon our Nation.
The first thing I noticed was that when you allow evil to get out of hand no longer thinking it necessary to put a check on the works of evil in your midst there will be many casualties of the innocents.
Next thing I noticed was the extreme measures one man had to implement to get his nations attention at the outrageous evil happening among them. After his wife was raped and murdered. They were committing the same sins as Sodom by which was judged and destroyed.

Obvious
I have chosen this title for reasons that will be obvious very quickly in my commentary. What I am about to explain comes from John chapter 9 in the New Testament.
This entire chapter is about a man born blind. There may be many reasons medically for this happening but the Lord explains why fairly quickly. His disciples asked a question as they passed the man born blind “Master” who sinned this man or his parents that he was born blind?
Now Jesus being ever gracious did not point out the obvious. He did however say that it was so He could show that He was the Light of the world. Let’s do a little thinking. How could this man sin so that he would be born blind unless he was able sin in his mother’s womb? Next if his parent’s sin caused him to be blind at birth, then every one of us would have been born blind. I call this an obvious conclusion.

Level of Commitment
While Jesus was sitting at a friend’s house a women came in with vessel of expensive fragrant oil and broke it to apply it to the head of Jesus. She was mocked for doing so because the Bible says it was worth a year’s wages.
Jesus rebuked that person and said it was a kindness done before His death and burial. Then He mentioned that she would be remembered through the ages for her deed.
How many are ready to sacrifice a one-year of their wages to do a kindness toward the Lord. Obviously she recognized He was the Christ and the Savior who was to come and felt compelled to do this. Contrary to this, Judas who criticized her is remembered for his eternal condemnation. What say you?

One Person’s Sacrifice
It never ceases to amaze me what one person can do when they dedicate themselves to a selfless vision in life. Then go on to bless those who need their same vision in Christ. This may advance others in the vision God’s Love and selflessness. I believe His vision will promote Liberty in Our Nation through the Truth of that Love.
We have seen the difference that one Person’s sacrifice has made by Jesus’ Cross and how it changed the world. This is how a nation can prosper in wealth, health, and happiness one person at a time for the good of the community we call the USA. Evil cannot control this Sacrifice because evil is not selfless but wants to impose its will on others that Love may not prosper!

A Prophetic Dream for Warning
I was in a time of seeking the Lord intensely for my life. I was enjoying a time of great fellowship with the Lord Christ, Jesus. At the time of fasting and prayer He gave me great insight and joy. I cannot begin to mention the embrace of Love never thought possible for a man like me.
It was during this time that this dream came to me: It began with something very familiar to me which was a motorcycle race. While trying to start the race the man in charge had to rebuke one driver who was not paying attention and kept jumping the line and had to be moved back into place. Once the race started this same driver was careless and was endangering others in the race. While observing intently I watched this reckless driver enter a bend and hit a wall and at that the head came off that racer.

Destruction of a Nation.
If you have seen this illustration in the cartoon section you have observed a flag of attention which I sent to the Supreme Court of the United States twenty years ago. I felt an urgency from God to raise a warning about the laws that enforce and protect particular sins which bring judgment on a nation.
Let's talk Abortion. Jane Roe, who started the whole thing, never had an abortion and regrets starting the proceedings ultimately leading to the entire Issue. Now it has become a political football. There are now many who regret ever having an abortion but for them I say there is no sin too big for God to forgive through the sacrifice of Christ and a truly repentant heart. There is one exception. To say that the sacrifice of Christ was not enough to forgive your sin. Giving your heart to Christ will bring peace.

Money, Sex and Power.
I have decided to write about these life subjects because the Lord impressed upon me that He was going to strike the foundations of these to serve as wake up call. The world has taken all the good things of God and perverted them to serve our own self-interest instead of using them for the purpose for which they were intended.
I don’t believe that it would dawn on most that through the misuse of such things could bring a curse on our nation. Money is used to bribe to buy influence and to serve a decadent lifestyle also to buy power to influence people into accepting lies that promote what, acceptance of an agenda straight from hell.

The path to glory is impossible to walk if you let mankind determine your steps.
Prov 21:2 (NIV)
2. All a man's ways seem right to him. but the LORD weighs the heart.
Confidence in the Lord allows you to stand boldly in the face of criticism!
How many times have we backed down because of peer pressure? Even though we know what is right there is this desire to be accepted by friends, relatives, coworkers, those in power, etc. We may even compromise for our personal success. More importantly there are leaders that want power so badly that have no problem compromising Godly wisdom and truth which are unimpeachable values. We all like to look good in the sight of our peers but at what price is that image portrayed? At what price do we gain power or influence? Our own soul? There have been many who compromise God's direction (misrepresent truth) to be accepted or gain power and authority in the so called "religious" community. How much more does this happen in the political and business community when the guidelines of integrity have been blurred? It matters little what position we carry when it comes to the integrity of the heart. We are all in service to one another for prosperity yes, but not to the extent of lies intrigue and miss characterization of anyone who opposes your objectives thereby oppressing or defrauding our fellow man in doing so.

Why is The Cross an Offence?
I have been pondering the severe objections to the cross as of late in the United States and around the world. As a minister of the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ I do understand all that exist whether seen or unseen has been created through Jesus Christ the living Word of God. This fact makes the Word of the Creator the truth of all creation~ To the arrogant this is an offence because without humility no one can see truth. Yet all will stand in judgment before Him. (The Truth Himself)
