Good Friday Morning and welcome July!
AND: The rights should not be named. The body of the Constitution limits the power of the federal government. The articles clearly define the duties and powers of each branch. We the people have allowed our selves to be bought off by empty promises and seeing the small return of our tax money as some sort of gift. If the powers were limited as intended we would not have the excessive over reach and suffocating regulation currently. The founders of course would hardly recognize the current system.
AND: Remember the new math? That wasn’t too good!!!
AND: When you consider the prophetic portions of the bible – Creation will break down and will come to a shocking end.
The Global Warming (renamed to Climate Change) phenomenon is explained by the man who hates G-d or doesn’t know Him, as an event caused by man (eliminating G-d and His judgement in the workings of our world).

AND: The Strength of Brokenness
TGIF Today God Is First
June 18, 2016
“The bows of the warriors are broken, but those who stumbled are armed with strength.” – 1 Samuel 2:4
There is an oxymoron throughout the Bible. It says that brokenness is strength. How can this be? How can brokenness be strength? In order to use men and women to their fullest extent, the Lord has to break His servants so that they might have a new kind of strength that is not human in origin. It is strength in spirit that is born only through brokenness.
Paul was broken on the Damascus road. Peter was broken after Jesus was taken prisoner. Jacob was broken at Peniel. David was broken after his sin with Bathsheba. The list could go on of those the Lord had to break in different ways before they could be used in the Kingdom.
When we are broken, we see the frailty of human strength and come to grips with the reality that we can do nothing in our own strength. Then, new strength emerges that God uses mightily. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.
Do not fear brokenness, for it may be the missing ingredient to a life that emerges with a new kind of strength and experience not known before.
Pray for a broken and contrite heart that God can bless.
AND: The leaders I trust and follow have one thing in common; they love their people. When you love people you’ll replace the “what am I to do” question with, “what do my people need to succeed?”
AND:
16 Rejoice always,
17 pray without ceasing,
18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
19 Do not quench the Spirit.
20 Do not despise prophecies,
21 but test everything; hold fast what is good.
22 Abstain from every form of evil.
AND:Interesting times Rembo. I am not a proponent for open borders. I think Nationalism and border integrity has its place. But here’s a legitimate question: Our generation has seen the evolution of the world’s borders moving from rigid to porous–are we better today than we were in the early sixties?
There was a time when world travel required a much greater effort in coordination and administration. People didn’t travel nearly as much on an International perspective. Visas and passport stamps were scrutinized to a much greater degree. Today, we have hundred-fold the tools (computers) to scrutinize travelers yet we don’t seem achieve desired results of knowing who is entering a country, where they go in the country, and when they leave the country.
I see Britain’s move as a cultural statement. Certainly there will be economic consequences. But the people of Britain voted–in essence–to stop the borderless madness. Others will surely follow. The United Kingdom itself may be torn apart in this process. But the madness of free entry into another country and followed by the lack of motivation to assimilate has got to stop. Nationalism should not be lost due to the squeaky voices of a few.
AND: If there is no God the Atheist have not problem.
If there is a God they have a great problem.
AND: There is not a doubt in my mind that we are currently living under global climate change–and have been our entire life. Zero doubt.
What has not been proven is that Man is responsible for that change.
Please see the portion in Mike Rosen’s book that I sent that illustrates Man’s contribution to the environment. We are simply too small of an entity to make a difference in global weather.
rem – I had no knowledge that I had no knowledge.
