Modern America., and a Wasted Life, 3-30-12 Commentary

Listen to audio

Don’t you think some of the things we read in the Bible could apply to America in our day? I am attending Bible College and awhile back I completed the class in the book of Judges. So if you don’t mind I thought for this week’s commentary I would outline some of the things I have learned by taking that class. In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes. Says Judges 21:25.

Kings in the Bible means authority. So Judges 21:25 not only tells us what happened in the day of Judges but do I dare say it might also apply to modern America. In our land today many souls have forgotten God and are doing whatever feels good. Also one of the souls in the book of Judges was a guy named Samson who God used but he also did some sinful things. He was right with the Lord but his life was wasted. You can be saved and have a wasted life. We all should want to not have lives which are wasted. God not only wants to save our souls but he wants to do Godly things through and in us after we are saved. Don’t you think.

What do you think.

Free Condoms, 3-23-12 Commentary

(Listen to the commentary )




Don’t you think adults should help young people do what is right instead of encouraging  behavior that is wrong and might be a risk to the good health of a child.

A Massachusetts school system is considering giving free condoms to students to help prevent sexually transmitted diseases, the Springfield School Committee has decided to enforce the "Comprehensive Reproductive Health Policy," which would provide free condoms for high school and junior high students sit down for this  as young as 12 years old.  MassResistance! says Springfield has had a comprehensive sex ed program in place for a long time. I guess the school’s program of teaching kids safe sex is working because  young people are  still getting pregnant. If you live in  Massachusetts this just  might be another reason to remove your child from the government schools.

Methodist Church decline, 3-16-12 Commentary

   Don’t you think churches should mostly put their focus on preaching the message of salvation in Jesus and teaching what the word of God says.

 Membership at the United Methodist Church, once the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S., and other mainline denominations continues to decline. Mark Tooley, president of The Institute on Religion & Democracy (IRD) and author of Methodism in the 20th Century, attributes the decay to the church's position on political matters.

"As the church moved left theologically starting with the early 20th century, especially in the 1920s, it also moved left politically," he explains. "And on that journey, much of Methodism seemed to forget the original recipe of its success in early America, which was not involvement with the details of politics, but of course was focused on proclamation of the gospel … the preaching of salvation, and the transformation of individual lives.

All I can say is Amen Mark.

No Tolerance for Moral Values, 3-9-12 Commentary

Don't you think tolerance should be shown to those of us who hold Bible based and moral based views.
The city leaders here in Omaha, Nebraska this last Tuesday debated giving special rights to gay or transgender residents.
Ron Brown, a Nebraska football coach, talked before the Omaha City Council in opposition to the ordinance.
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman took assistant Husker football coach Ron Brown to task Thursday for not making it clear he was not speaking for the university when he testified.


Why do those who teach at the nation's colleges never have to make it clear that they are not speaking for the colleges they work at when they come out in support for special rights for gays. Perhaps that is because they are speaking for those schools.

Obey God Rather than Men, 3-2-12 Commentary

Listen to the audio

 In today’s commentary I want read part of a newsletter that was sent out  to folks who support the work I do.          I hope you don't mind but I thought this month I would write about an issue which is political but at the same time  is making an impact in the faith community.
   President Obama is trying to force members of the Catholic Church   to pay for  birth control-  INSURANCE  COVERAGE.. I pray for President Obama and all of our leaders everyday but I will follow my God and my convictions before I follow any man or woman regardless which political party he or she belongs to. Even though most of us Evangelicals don't follow the doctrine of the Catholic Church when it comes to birth control the issue is should government make people of faith go against their faith and if it tries to what should the  faithful do. Don't you think we should  obey God rather than men like Peter did in the book of Acts when he was ordered to go against his faith. What do you think?
