Christmas peace, children killed, and where was God, 12-25-12 Commentary

Where was God? That is a question many souls are asking after what took place at that grade school in Connecticut. Where was God when all those children were murdered. How could a good God allow that. It is terrible something like that happens around Christmas. Those are some of the feelings souls have expressed.
Some have said should not Christmas bring peace instead of children being killed. Some have acted like God was not there because he has been ordered out of the government schools by the court. Though that is not correct either legally, or is that correct far as Theology goes.
We often get the idea Christmas should bring about peace. Well where was God when all those children were murdered. No not in Connecticut but back around that first Christmas. You see the birth of the Christ child so upset an evil human King that he ordered little children to be murdered. When we say God brings peace to us that doesn't mean this world will always be a peaceful place but every soul that calls on the name of the Lord can live at peace because they know their soul is right with the Lord. So where was God when those killings happen in Connecticut the same place he was that first Christmas when evil King Herald order those little children killed. Matthew 1: 23 reads “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”[d] (which means “God with us”).
Jesus came to be part of our lives. He came to help us have peace in our souls even while our world is at war. He will do that if we will admit we are sinners and that he took the punishment for our sins.
Have a blessed Christmas.

Guns, mental illness, and evil, 12-21-12 commentary

Before I get to today's commentary let me inform you I hope to post a special commentary here on the blog on Christmas Day or Christmas Eve .
A lot of people are asking why did that horrible school shooting take place in
Connecticut one week ago. There have been talk we need to get rid of all guns and blame is being put on the NRA. While we pray for that grade school and the families of the dead we do need to address some issues.
A. First off there has been talk that a mental illness that the shooter had is the reason. While mental illness is never an excuse it can be a reason. At the same time there are many souls who suffer from mental illness that would never think of doing something horrible like shooting up a school full of kids and teachers. There does need to be much discussion on what can be done to help those who have a mental illness and their families.
B. Guns and the NRA also are not to blame. A gun in the hands of a responsible citizen or police officer can do much good including stopping a horrible crime.
C. What is to blame is evil and sin. We as a nation and culture have bought into the lie that people are basically good. It is interesting that no ACLU chapter has gotten upset over President Obama referring to the Bible after the shooting or people in C.T. asking for prayer. Perhaps it is because we have rejected God's plan in our schools and culture that we have evil taking place today.
Pray for the people of Connecticut and for America.
What do you think.
Until next time,

The so called war on Christmas, 12-7-12 commentary

I won't lie to you and tell you I understand everything our culture does. I don't even understand everything my brothers and sisters in Christ do.
Once again this year some are saying there is a war on Christmas. One of the guys who does commentary on one of the all TV - news networks has been attacking people of faith for not demanding that the world give us back Christmas.
One pro family group has come up with the Naughty and Nice Christmas Lists: On the naughty list they name those Retailers who fail to mention or totally disregard Christmas.
Now I will never understand why some followers of Jesus want permission from the government or the the world to honor the savior.
Also what is trying to give the best Christmas gifts or getting the best gifts have to do with Christ.Do people have the spirit of God just because they wish you a Merry Christmas after you buy a computer.
Here are some thoughts I have on this issue.
A. Instead of Boycotting those places who disregard Christmas go spend some money there and wish everyone there in a very Christ like way a blessed Christmas.
B. Accept there is a war on the Christian faith and on Christmas but we are not to respond the way those on TV tells us to. We should use the so called war on Christmas to explain what Christmas is about to us. Think about it on my birthday I don't expect those who don't know me to honor me.Could it be the same with God.
What do you think?

President Obama could change America for years to come,10-12-12 commentary

I have a question for you today. Do you think President Obama will change our nation for only two terms?
Nope President Obama and other presidents we have had or will have will change our nation for years to come.
One of the biggest ways the person in the White House does that is by judges they put on the bench including the Supreme Court.
So a question all voters should ask before they vote this November is what kind of judges would the person we vote for name. Now we know judges can change but the odds are we will get one kind of judge from Obama and another kind of judge from Romney.
Lets not forget a President can only be in office for eight years but a judge on the high court serves for life.
What do you think,
Until next time,

Election Blood Money, 10-19-12 commentary

Friday, October 19, 2012
Don't you think in tough times all who take money from Uncle Sam should be looked over and perhaps have their budget cut.
That is something President Obama is not willing to do. In the last debate Obama said at least three times Romney wants to cut Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood is America's number one abortion provider. There are people in America who are without jobs who truly need help but what concerns our President is money being taken away from a group which murders children. I think you would be right to call this blood money. Even if you support abortion don't you think those of us who are pro life should not have to worry about our money being used to kill babies.
What do you think,
Until next time

Obama bad President, 9-14-12 commentary

I don't believe everyone is blessed with the same gifts or abilities or is everyone meant for the same job. I also believe President Obama is a good guy. However I don't believe he is a good president.
A recent example has to be how he is handling the current crisis in the middle east. He keeps saying he is sorry a video upset Radical followers of Islam which he blames in the killing of four Americans including a U.S. ambassador.
Obama keeps blaming the killings which happen on September 11 on a video that was posted on You Tube. Instead President Obama should be showing holy angry over what happened and demanding that the killers be brought to justice.
This White House also has been slow in calling this evil act which took place on the ann. of the 911 attacks terrorism.
When evil souls see us as weak it gives them faith that they can harm us.

Thanks Demcrats, 9-7-12 commentary

I believe we should give thanks when somebody does something to help us don't you.
So today I want to thank a group of people. My thanks go to the Democrats meeting this week in N.C. They made it easy to remind me why I left that political party some years back or as the late President Reagun use to say why the Democrats left me.
Here is what the Democrats did this week..
They took the name of God out of their platform. Then they put him back in a move which was booed by some Democrats.
I know there are good and even some Godly souls who are Democrats but the party as a whole has been taken over by the radical left. If you vote Democrat please understand you are voting for people that are anti faith, anti Israel, along with being pro abortion and pro gay rights. Thanks Democrats for making it so easy for me.
