Humility is needed more than ever.

I just spoke with a very close friend about 30 minutes ago.  He and his family are going through a life change.  He has been called to be the pastor of his second church. 

During our conversation, I heard something in his voice, that was there before, but is so much more prevalent now.  I could hear his Humility.  This man has been humbled.  His whole person has changed.  The Lord our God has turned him more toward Jesus. 

I have had a similar experience.  I too have been humbled over the last couple of years.  I have let go of some selfish desires and ambitions and allowed God to change my life.  I have stopped trying to shove God into the box I want Him to fit into (besides He will not fit!). 

I know this is a revelation for my friend and me from the Holy Spirit, but humility does not always have to be a spirit led thing.  We are all to be humble.  Scripture tells us to humble ourselves before God.  So why do so many people miss this important lesson of God? 

Our leaders from the public office to our churches, could stand to learn or relearn this valuable lesson. 

Our leaders in Washington, Austin and Dallas City Hall, all have lost their humility, if they had any at all.  They believe they have the God given right to be where they are, and they forget it was a God given gift!  They vote for their bribers and not for their voters. 

Some of our pastors and vocational ministers are not much better.  Acts 9:31 tells us that we "The Church" should live in the fear of the Lord (humility), but THEY try to be God.  THEY save people, and THEY put out bulletins that tell you how many people THEY saved while just down the road, another Muslim Mosque, or Mormon Temple spring up, because they are not humbling themselves and teaching the truth from the pulpit, sunday school or bible study. 
And they also forget that being in their leadership position is a God given gift and responsibility, not a license to build the biggest, most monstrous mall church in the world. 

Humility brings us to help the orphans and the widows, not be the lap dogs of the people with the most money.

Let us wise up, humble ourselves and stop playing God, because we are bad at it!

God Bless and God Speed

Is this global warming?

I would have to say today is very hot.  It is probably as hot as I have ever been.  My electric bills are sky rocketing, my car is over heating and walking outside turns my shirts into water receptacles, but is this global warming?

I have heard different talking heads saying this and that, I have seen Michael Drudge flip flop on the issue. One day South Dakota is approaching 115 degrees, but today the year 1922 seems to have the hottest heat wave ever reported. 

Michael Savage, an educated genius if you ask me, has quoted several scientific journals and professionals who seems to believe the reason for the hotter temps is that the ocean, which temperature is not governed only from the air but from the earth below, has gotten warmer. 

Hurricane forecasters have downplayed their forecasts, saying that this season will not be as bad as the last two.

Al Gore, who of course should be believed because he invented the internet and his gas guzzling vehicles and private planes do not pollute the environment, has made a movie An Inconvenient Truth,  which shows the other side of the issue. He explains the same things that the main stream media cram into our heads every day; George Bush is bad, SUV drivers are bad, factories are bad, America is bad, you get the picture.  

I have yet to find a person on the left side of this issue to give a compelling argument, nor have I found a person on the right give one either.  So if there is so much confusion over this issue, why are we so eager to scare people about stuff that has been taking place since God created this world?  

Maybe Pat Robertson is on something.  He has come out to support the theory that the world is being destroyed by us, mankind?  I ask Mr. Robertson to prove it.  He is a minister.  Everything he says should be compared to the Word of God and see if it holds weight. 

I have a hard time believing that man can destroy something that God has made.  But wait, mankind has destroyed animals and forests and you name it.  Yes,  individual things have been taken away, but that is not an issue we have control over, that is God's call.  If God had not willed it, it would not have happened.  And I am not so vein to think that anyone other than me will read this post, but if there is someone that reads this, yes God does allow bad things to happen.  He allows them, because this world is sinful due to the fall of man and He allows the evil hearts of every man to have what they choose!  But that is not to say we can destroy what He created.  Only He can do so.  We rely do think highly of ourselves.

Could the word money have anything to do with it?  Seems to me that there are a lot of theories that get my tax money to tell me something I myself cannot control or fix all together.  

We as mankind, have been asked to be good stewards with what God has entrusted us.  We ,at every turn, seem to fail except in the few instances through time like Noah, Moses, and The Lord and my Savior Jesus Christ.  

My friends look around you.  If you see trash pick it up, don't throw trash on the ground.  Keep it clean, leave it better than you found it, stop worrying about what you cannot control, and please  for the love of pete, think about what you are being told, before you buy it hook line and sinker.  

God bless and God speed
