Today Monday, January 16, is Martin Luther King Day. Some Schools will be closed though I think it might be better to keep those schools opened and teach the kids about Martin Luther King but of course the kids aren’t going to hear about the values which guided King in the government schools.

As many of you know this last Friday, November 4th my radio commentary program on KCRO radio ended but from time to time I will post a commentary here on my blog. Today I am doing the first one of those.
I want read something I wrote in a newsletter that I send out to family, and others who pray and support the work I do.
I believe it is harder to grow up today than in other times. No debate it has never been easy going through your teens or preteens. However once the same values and messages were preached in the church, in the school house, and in the home. Not today. You see the value that all human life is a gift from God put down. You see marriages breaking up perhaps even in your own home. You see anyone who stands up for God or faith in a higher power ridiculed by the media. You see different churches by a single vote of her leaders no longer calling sin what the Bible calls sin. So yes it is harder growing up today but as soul who has worked with young people for many years I am trying through what I do to show young people there are values like family, and faith in God that will remain even when things are shaky.

This month we celebrate Thanksgiving. I thought today I would tell you some of what I am thankful for.
I am thankful for a God who loves me in spite of my short comings.
I am thankful for my family.
I am thankful for the gifts God has given me.
I am thankful for those of you who listen to these radio commentaries.
Above all I am thankful for Jesus who has provided a way to heaven if we will only come to him on his terms.
Now a side note tomorrow I will have a very special commentary it will be my last one.

(audio )Awhile back Warren Buffett said that rich people were not paying enough in taxes. If Mr. Buffett doesn’t think the government charges him enough in taxes no one including Uncle Sam will stop him from sending more money to
However instead of being concerned about who pays what in taxes Mr. Buffett should do some hard thinking on what he does with his own money.
Mr. Buffett’s money has blood on it’s hands. He is a big supporter of Planned Parenthood the # one provider of abortions in
If we outlaw everything good that has been used for bad would we not outlaw everything.

I am not Catholic and I don’t believe in saying a prayer using a rosary but why is a government school stopping something that some students and their parents believe in. The Schools allow everything sinful but not anything that speaks kindly of faith. Perhaps it is time for Catholic parents to remove their children from the government schools. Is this school also going to band the Cross because the KKK has used it. Oh I forgot this is a government school so the cross is already outlawed from it. What do you think.

Is one kind of sin worst than another or better than another?
On SEPTEMBER 20, 2011 AT MIDNIGHT, THE
MILITARY POLICY KNOWN AS “DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL”
EXPIRED. GAY RIGHTS GROUPS CELEBRATED.
DURING ITS 18 YEARS, DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL LEAD TO THE DISCHARGE OF AN ESTIMATED 13,000 MEN AND WOMEN FROM
THE ARMED SERVICES. I don’t believe it was good for our
nation or for the military to end this policy.
However why should one bad behavior be ranked ahead of another
bad behavior. UNMARRIED HETEROSEXUAL
MILITARY PERSONNEL WERE NOT PUNISHED FOR HAVING SEX. According to the Bible IN THE END, WE ARE ALL SINNERS.
OF COURSE THE GAY RIGHTS CROWD HAS ANOTHER AGENDA
but according to God Sin is sin.

Don’t you think teachers should have the right to express their views on their own time. A
So a teacher on his own free time doesn't have the freedom to express his own views. Those who support same sex marriage want to take away our freedoms to express our views even if they are based on the Bible.
The good news is this teacher has been restated .

Don’t you think we should be concerned about those who are abused by others. Several well-known researchers have made unexpected arguments supporting those who commit sexual abuse against children at an academic conference in
Liberty Counsel Action's Matt Barber attended the conference and says he felt he was on a different planet. He says the entire focus of the event was on the victimhood of the abuser . There was "very little concern for the children who are the victims of these individuals when they are raped. Barber said.
As a follower of the Lord Jesus I believe people can be changed and be forgiven by God if they will repent but that doesn't mean we at all should excuse sin or bad behavior. And that is what they did at this conference. The rights of children must come first.

I want leaders who will not be people pleasers do you? Last month Starbucks' chief executive canceled a high-profile church appearance after an online protest over the congregation's views on homosexuality.
It is too bad when leaders are fearful to stand up for what is right and are forced not to do something because of the views of others. Today we hear a lot about being tolerant of others but where is the tolerance for us who believe what the Bible says about homosexuality. .

Believe it or not they are closing the Borders with many souls getting into our nation in a non legal way and some of them are terrorists, or drug runners, this may sound like a good move or direction for our nation to take. However I am talking about the large chain of bookstores that’s going out of business, closing all of their remaining 399 stores in malls and shopping centers across the nation.
I will miss Boarders. There is still something cool about a book to read that is not downloaded on your computer. Lets support the book stores in our community so they don’t become the next Borders to close.
Pray for the employees of Borders along with other souls who are looking for jobs or will be looking for jobs.

Don’t you think all people of faith should be willing to challenge their church if the leadership of the church does wrong. Irish Prime Minister Kenny has given it to the
Let me make it clear the Catholic Church has done a lot of good it’s stand for the unborn should put a lot of us Evangelicals to shame who were slow to that cause. The Prime Minister was upset how the church seems to not have reported abuse to legal authorities. He said that “the Irish people, including the very many faithful Catholics who – like him – have been shocked and dismayed by the repeated failings of Church authorities to face up to what is required.
For the sake of the children I hope the leaders of this church will listen to the Prime Minister.

If somebody you know does drugs or drinks too much besides praying for them do what you can for them or they might end up being another Amy Winehouse.
We all learned a few months ago of her tragic death, from an overdose. Winehouse won a grammy for her song “Rehab." Here are the chilling lyrics of that song. “They tried to make me go to rehab, but I said, ‘no, no, no.’”
We called what Winehouse did an art but all art is embedded with ideas that are either true or false, genuine or counterfeit. Her death should be a lesson to all young people not to use drugs and not to join the drinking crowd I bet today Amy wishes she had not. What do you think.

(mp3 )Don’t you think something which has led to these things sex trafficking, violence against women, and long lasting effects on children and families is not a harmless crime.
Over the years, many have claimed that porn is a harmless crime. But the evidence shows that porn is harmful. It hurts women, children, families, and has made our nation more broken.
A very troubling development is that there have been zero prosecutions of illegal, hardcore adult pornography under the Obama administration. Let me say that again zero prosecutions. Thanks Attorney General Eric Holder.

One of the biggest lies is given too often when we tells souls the gospel of Jesus Christ. That is if you will trust Jesus as your Savior all your problems will go away.
There are a lot of books and songs and sermons and church banners that talk about “victory” and “peace” and “joy” but rare are the ones that deal with struggle and tension, hardship, and pain. But life in a fallen world includes both sides, Faith in God should not reject the bad stuff or take it away but faith helps you cope and go through the hard stuff don’t you think.
A trial will make you a better person or a bitter person. Perhaps this is why the church is growing in places where it is hard to follow God like
