Love Love Love NOT Hate Hate Hate!


I get so tired of the constant bashing by church folks in relationship to certain social issues in this country/world. No where in the Bible does it say anything about hating people.

People hide their mean and ugly ways behind "Christianity" or being a "Christian". People beat other people over the head with any little verse that they maliciously look up on the internet - to support their own ugliness. They misuse the Bible for their own evil ways. These are not "Christians" - these are "church people" - these people are tools - tools of the devil.

Unfortunately many people in the world lump both groups together. They see the majority of folks in the church buildings - and do not realize that most of the people there are not in the Body of Christ (the Church - yes, upper-cased Church) - that most are no different than they are (in a bad way).

It is like the numerous times I've heard waitresses say, "I hate working Sunday afternoon - because of the "church people". Amazingly, the church people will condemn that person for - you guessed it - working on Sunday. They do this condemnation - with their mouths full. Then they are demanding, rude and anything but Christian. They finally move their lard hypocritical butts from the restaurant - only to leave a sorry tip - with the mindset that "if 10% is good enough for Jesus - it's good enough for the waitress".

Then when they are at church - you know what they like to do? Let's pick ONE sin and just terrorize the ones that they feel participate in this "sin". Let's not just beat on the condition and action of homosexuality (for instance), but lets run those people down - who participate in it. Why would this one issue come up weekend after weekend - in more than one churches in the southland?

Why do we not spend equal time terrorizing gossipers, liars and backstabbers? What group of people cause the most destruction to our churches? Is it homosexuals?  NO! Mean-spirited and hypocritical people have harmed the spread of Jesus' word far more than murderers, rapists or thieves EVER HAVE.

Why is the church ineffective and losing membership by the buckets?  It's that liar - it's that backstabber - it's that gossiper. Let's add to the list the self-righteousness of "church people".

Again, I make great distinction in the huge difference between "church people" and "Christians".  I know a handful of "Christians" - they are nothing like those other people that show up socially in buildings called "churches" ever Sunday.

Instead of being against, or hating, or anti - why do church people not stand FOR something. Truth is the only thing we ought to stand for is LOVE LOVE LOVE not HATE HATE HATE.  It's not our job to judge or punish - it's our job to love.

It's one thing to disagree with other people's choices - but it's not alright to judge or hate.

Full Circle

It was after Carver Elementary School in Raymond, Mississippi voted for the election of Gerald Ford for president after he became President after the resignation of President Richard Nixon.  1976, Carver Elementary and even my classroom voted against the "peanut man" for the guy with a cool name similar to the cars that many parents drove.  Yep, that was the logic of my classroom of 3rd graders in our early November social studies (or whatever) class.  We were being taught the power that American's have as Americans - the ability to affect the process by voting. This was also before the actual winner, Jimmy Carter led our country to long lines at the gas-pump, inflation that reminded folks of the Great Depression, and to international embarrassment by allowing Iran to capture and hold captive 52 American hostages for 444 days.  These days were bleak and drab looking as many of our overly smoggy polluted cities and as depressing as the funky attire that people wore in...

Sound of Freedom

  So, I just watched the movie "Sound of Freedom". Full theatre. Almost every eye cried as we left the theater. So angry - just want bad things to happen to pedophiles and other perverts. You can eliminate every sex-trafficker and as long as there is a demand for children - new sex-traffickers will show up. So simple. Declare the pedophiles and traffickers - NOT HUMAN - give them lead poison, immediately. It's the only way to fix this disease. More people in this world are enslaved RIGHT NOW than at any time in the history of the world - even when slavery was LEGAL. Yet right now - we are more concerned about people that were enslaved at least 158 years ago (and not a one of them is alive today) than we are about people being enslaved TODAY RIGHT NOW. Most of them children and most of them to pedophiles and sex-traffickers - used 3-5 times a day some of them. This is a NOW problem. Speaking of sex-traffickers - the thankfully deceased Jeffrey Epstein had a client-list. ...

Blessed or Not

 In the Old Book, but not too old the passages Psalm 1:1-2 provide guidance to followers of God.  "1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.   Starting right off the bat, "Blessed is the man".  The antonyms of the word "blessed" include:  cursed, condemned, damned, disapproved, unblessed. Consider this rewording:  Cursed is the man that walketh in the counsel of the ungodly, who standeth in the way of sinners, and sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Try:  Condemned is the man.... Try:   Damned  is the man.... Try:   Disapproved  is the man.... Try:   Unblessed  is the man.... How many of us know of or have been a person that doesn't have the discernment to recognize "the ungodly", "way of sinners", or "the seat of the scornful".  How can we not walk away, not stand in, or not sit in the presen...
