Closing the Boarders 9-13-11 Commentary

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.

Ten Years After 911 9-12-11 Commentary

Our Jewish friends having a saying about the Holocaust we must never forget. In fact they have a special day in Israel when everyone stops what they doing I mean people get out of their cars to remember it. Yes they have gone on with their lives but they want that horrible event not forgotten so it will never happen again. We would do well to follow their example. Yesterday was the ann. of the horrible 911 attacks. All of us in America must accept as fact there are people who want to destroy America and murder us. Their faith is based on a god who demands that they send their sons to die for him unlike the Christian faith which is about a God who sent his son to die for the whole world. Pray for America.

Soul Surfer. 9-9-11 Commentary

Last month members of my family including myself attended the movie Soul Surfer. I had been wanting to see this movie for awhile and I know now it is out on DVD. If you didn’t see the movie please rent or buy the DVD. As the lady at the movie who sold us our food told us it is a movie which makes you feel good after you see it.

The movie doesn't exclude God or the Bible from it as too many movies do. A part that those who created the movie wanted to cut out is a part that shows a father reading his Bible next to the bed in his daughter's hospital room.

The family who’s true story the movie was based on said no the Bible needed to stay in the movie. Good for them and good for those who made this movie. What do you think.

Crystal Cathedral Trouble 9-8-11 Commentary

Don’t you think if a church doesn’t preach the whole Bible it might lead to God removing his blessing from that church. So what are my thoughts about the trouble the Crystal Cathedral in CA. is having.

The Southern California church launched by Robert Schuller is having trouble. It owes a lot in unpaid bills and has declared Bankruptcy. Let me make it clear God has not told me this but I just wonder if this church is having trouble today because it doesn't preach the whole Bible. You know the parts about sin and hell.

Dr. Schuller I heard some place say the worst thing the Bible believing churches have done is to tell people they are sinners. Dr. Schuller is a gifted preacher with vision but he needs to preach the whole Bible.

Challenging the Catholic Church 9-7-11 Commentary

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 Vatican for how it has handled the sexual abuse of children in his Romans Catholic Church.

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.

Amy Winehouse's Life/Death 9-6-11 Commentary

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.

Labor Day/Not Working 9-5-11 Commentary

(mp3 )

It is Labor Day and we all know Labor isn’t just what your birth mother did before you came into this world. It is work.

Labor Day use to be the last holiday before schools started after Summer break though now most schools start before Labor Day sorry kids.

It was also the day we saw Jerry Lewis raise money for MD.

Mostly this day should be about work. Today the value of work is missing from our culture. People rather stay home and get a check from Uncle Sam than go to work. We need to start working and trusting in God again who’s word says if you can work but don’t you shouldn’t eat. What do you think.
