Calling Church Off Can Be Good, 6-22-12 Commentary

Can it ever be good for a church to cancel services?
A goal I have for my blog is to point out people that are making difference for good and Godly things.
I also want to discuss on these commentaries churches that are making a difference in our culture for good and Godly things. Too many churches have become Christian clubs for believers on Sunday morning and don't even give thought to a world full of dying souls.
However there are some Bible teaching churches which are doing what Master Jesus taught about going into the whole world.
Shadow Lake Community Church in Papillion, Nebraska is such a church. A few weeks ago it canceled services at the church so its members could volunteer their time with different ministries that are reaching out. Shadow Lake Community Church is a MAD church a make a difference church. Thank God for them and the other mad churches which are touching people with the love of Jesus.
What do you think.
Until next time,

Food Police, 6-8-12 Commentary

Don't you think it should be parents who raise kids not the government or the creators of cartoons.
On Tuesday, The Walt Disney Company announced that it will require advertisers on its media properties (including ABC Saturday morning cartoons) to follow strict new set of nutritional guidelines.
I am all for people having good health habits but I also find it funny in a sad way that Disney wants to keep kids from eating foods that might not be good for them but they have gay days at their parks when kids see sinful sexual behaviors in public which may not be good for their souls.
Disney was once known as a family friendly group but not today. Disney needs to let parents and no one else police their kids eating habits.

Some Leaders in the USA Are on the same Page as the Heads of China ,6-1-12 commentary

Please forgive me if I sound angry today but I am upset. Most good people in America would say we are and should be different than the evil leaders of China right. Here is one way that there is not much difference between China and us in the good old USA. Yesterday Democrats in the House of Representatives voted down a bill that would ban sex selective abortions. The legislation needed a two-thirds vote and Democrats voted overwhelmingly against the legislation after President Barack Obama and Planned Parenthood came out in opposition.
In defending President Obama's opposition to the bill, the White House Press Secretary said, "the end result of this legislation would be to subject doctors to criminal prosecution if they fail to determine the motivations behind a very personal and private decision. That is a lie. The truth is the bill would punish doctors who did abortions based on the sex of the child. Sad but this is one issue where some of our leaders are on the same page as the evil leaders in China.

Hearing Other Sides, 5-25-12 Commentary

Don't you think it is good to hear what others think. Awhile back somebody said to me they were upset with a writer from our local newspaper because they disagreed with a stand she had taken. I tried to defend the writer's right to be heard.
Think about this if we could get people taken off of TV, radio, and removed from the newspapers just because they don't see things the way we do could they not do the same to us and those who think like we do. One of the things that makes America so great is we have the right to express our views. You can't do that in Cuba or China.
We should never compromise what we believe and for us who are followers of Jesus that includes things like the Bible being the word of God at the same time we should be willing to read, and hear the views of others.

President Obama Not All Matters Are Funny, 5-18-12 Commentary

Don't you agree somethings should not be joked about.
Well guess who told a joke on what should be a non laughing matter. AT THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT’S DINNER IN WASHINGTON a few weeks ago President Obama MADE A JOKE ABOUT THE SECRET SERVICE SCANDAL. HE SAID HE HAD MORE MATERIAL BUT HAD TO GET HIS AGENTS HOME IN TIME IN OBSERVANCE OF THEIR NEW CURFEW.
I WONDER IF THE WIVES AND CHILDREN OF THOSE AGENTS Thought THE PRESIDENT’S JOKE was funny.I’LL BET THEY didn't laugh at it. Nothing is funny about a trust in a marriage being broken. President Obama doesn't seem to be mature enough to understand that.And he is the one who in the last election the majority of the voters trusted to lead us. He doesn't seem mature to me does he to you?
WHAT WE TOLERATE WE GET MORE OF.

standing up to homosexual activists and praying for them, 5-11-12 Commentary

Do you recall the value that your parents or your grandparents might have taught you don't say anything at all unless it is nice.
That is a value that homosexual activist Dan Savage, who speaks at anti-bullying conferences across the country needs to embrace.
Speaking at the National High School Journalism Convention, Savage, who was supposed to talk about how to report bullying, instead used his time to bash the Bible and Christians, causing many to walk out. Then, he made profane references to those who left.
Good for the students who walked out. We need to stand up with the truth to souls like Savage while still praying for them to be reached with the truth.

20 Years After the LA Riots, 5-4-12 Commentary

Listen to the audio http://billydteacher.wordpress.com/2012/05/04/the-la-riots-20-years-later-5-4-12-commentary/


Twenty years ago, Los Angeles erupted in riots after four cops were acquitted in the videotaped beating of Rodney King.
I recall the LA riots because my brother had just moved out to Los Angeles to start a job with NBC at Jay Leno's tonight show.

Here are some thougts I have twenty years after the riots...
First off too many on the left and so called civil rights leaders condoned the riots by saying young blacks are tired of not being treated right instead of saying we are a nation of laws.
Those who condemned the police in Los Angeles where are they when cops are shot or abused.
Above all the riots happened because the break down of the family and value free education. In too many homes and schools and even in some churches young people are not being taught the right values. The jury ruling was just an excuse for the riots but the main reason the riots took place was the break down of values.
