The Price

This song is absolutely beautiful! Even if you’re not a Christian, you will love this woman’s voice. Her name is Jill Hagan. This song is just outstanding!

The Price

Walking steps to the Throne

Taking them one by one

Each stone by stone

Angels singing all around

Holy holy…

Their voices resound

Woe is me

For I’m unclean

Oh how can I approach that key

Whose the one that nailed his hands?

Falling at His feet,

Hey,  I can’t stand

In my shame I hide my face

Wishing I could cover up the things

That I can’t erase

Reaching out

He touches me

And I am made completely clean

(Chorus)

I don’t deserve the price you paid

I don’t deserve the love He gave

So unworthy

but He took me in

Jesus washed my sin away

Then He lifted up my hand

Saying you’re forgiven

Because I took your place instead

Yeah, my tears began to flow

My Savior loves me much more than I know

Yeah, I can’t believe that He would die

for someone who’s a mess like me

I don’t deserve the price He paid

I don’t deserve the love He gave

So unworthy

But He took me in

Jesus washed —

I am speechless

I don’t understand it

Can’t you see what I’ve done in life?

But I’ll go to the Throne with confidence

‘Cause I am clean through His blood

Yeah….. yeah.

I don’t deserve the price He paid

I don’t deserve the love He gave

So unworthy, but He took me in

Jesus washed 

Oh He washed, Jesus washed my sin away…

Yeah, He washed my sin away.

Israel & Gaza

“From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.” –James 4:1-2

I’m very disturbed and distressed about the Israel/Gaza conflict that is occurring. Watching the rockets and air strikes and seeing the wounded and the bleeding, I can only feel a deep sense of sadness, horror, and almost depression.

This killing isn’t the will of God. The murder of others isn’t acceptable under the new covenant we have through Jesus Christ our Lord. There are other ways of dealing with men and women. Murdering one another isn’t the appropriate way of handling disagreement and misunderstanding. The sinful nature of man is destroying him; his greed for land, oil, and lust for power may never allow war to cease on this planet, until Jesus Christ returns for His church.

I understand the need for violence in order to defend one’s self and one’s allies when they are in the right, but I see little reason for it, short of that. When there is senseless, pointless violence that serves no one and harms many, it sickens me; that is what I see happening between Israel and Gaza and I hate it.

Israel and Gaza -21

I’ve read the bible numerous times, and I accept God’s actions in the Old Testament, despite not completely understanding or even approving of them. I know how God behaved in those Old Testament times and why He demanded various action that is difficult to wrap one’s mind around. God wants everyone to turn to Him now though, and to the path He created through Jesus Christ to unite us to God in a sin-free mind, body, and spirit; I don’t believe God wants to see man killing each other if there is any possible way for him to avoid it.

There are so many whose feet are quick to rush to battle, to kill and destroy their enemy, when diplomacy could potentially resolve things peacefully. I am on the side of those who want to resolve disagreement through peaceful means — until there is absolutely no longer any other alternative left but to defend one’s self.

the bible, is this too overexposed?

Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”  — Matthew 5:9.

Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth, but I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.” — Matthew 5:38-39.

I mourn what is occurring between the Israelites and the Palestinians. It is horrific and something to shed tears over and I do pray every day that God will stop this brutality and the bloodshed, if it be His will.

Here are some excellent articles on war  and what God thinks about it. There are also some helpful blogs that discuss Israel and the conflict over Gaza:

I am so proud of this pastor for speaking out and sharing on this topic. The spirit of God is speaking through him and I do hope everyone will listen. God bless you, Pastor.

***See update at the end of this blog***

Today, I was privileged to be on the National Pastors Call with President Obama.  The President spoke to Pastors and Faith leaders from various beliefs.

Just a few days ago, Christian leaders were clearly divided on where or not it was “Christian-like” to vote for President Obama.  We heard rhetoric from both sides of the Christian aisle.  Pastor Robert Jeffress provided our Nation with an interesting, if not ominous prediction.  He said, “The course he (President Obama) is choosing to lead our nation is paving the way for the future reign of the Antichrist.”  Yet other pastors stood behind the president and stated he must be re-elected in order for our Nation to be unified and for us to get through the problems we’re facing.

It’s obvious some Christians are still divided on whether or not we should support our…

Did I Stutter?

I think the picture speaks for itself, yet so many are in denial.

Why do good Christian folks argue with Jesus?

Why try to wiggle out of what He very clearly said?

Listen to Jesus Christ and walk the talk.

What It’s Like….

“What It’s Like”

(Profanity Warning)

We’ve all seen the man at the liquor store beggin’ for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
He ask the man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
Get a job you f–kin’ slob’s all he replied

[CHORUS]
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
‘Cause then you really might know what it’s like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it’s like [x4]

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said don’t worry about a thing baby doll I’m the man you’ve been dreamin’ of
But three months later he said he won’t date her or return her call
And she sweared g– damn if I find that man I’m cuttin’ off his balls
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin’ through the doors
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore

[CHORUS]
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
‘Cause then you really might know what it’s like to have to choose
Then you really might know what it’s like [x4]

I’ve seen a rich man beg
I’ve seen a good man sin
I’ve seen a tough man cry
I’ve seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I’ve seen the good side of bad
And the down side of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
Smoked the finest green
I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart
You know where it ends
Yo, it usually depends on where you start

I knew this kid named Max
He used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late at night
Liked to get sh-t faced
And keep pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a big gun fight
Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45
Talked some shit
And wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain
You know it crumbles that way
At least that’s what they say when you play the game

[CHORUS]
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
‘Cause then you really might know what it’s like to have to lose
Then you really might know what it’s like [x3]

To have to lose…

Everlast

Seceding Christendom Mad At Obama ll

It appears that a new petition has been filed to strip the citizenship from and deport the seceding right wingers, exiling them.  One blogger, in particular, calls this a “liberal attack.”  Of course, to be fair, pretty much everything on that blog is perceived to be a liberal attack. It’s blatantly obvious that the poster is biased to the far right, but my point is that it would appear that those who desire to secede from the Union are selfishly attempting to further divide our already divided country. They have made an attempt that they haven’t even begun to think through the consequences of.

One of our well known Word Press bloggers, Short Little Rebel, offers some valid sanity and reason to those overwhelmed with the emotional fall out from the loss of their candidate, Mitt Romney.  She claims that it might be wise to stop and consider what becoming one’s own country will mean;  I agree with her, as I don’t think that those who are reacting out of angst, sour grapes, and sore losses have a clue what they will be in for if they are actually successful in getting what they think they want.

All I can personally hope, is that the insanity stops soon, and that those who are actually serious will be helped to secede all on their own without bothering the rest of us.

———————–

“Mr. President, please sign an executive order such that each American citizen who signed a petition from any state to secede from the USA shall have their citizenship stripped and be peacefully deported,” the full petition reads.

The title of the petition is, “WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO: Strip the Citizenship from Everyone who Signed a Petition to Secede and Exile Them.”

By now we’ve all heard of the petitions filed with the White House asking to “peacefully” secede certain states from the Union.

Sore losers? Or have they not studied American History? (Does the “Civil War” ring a bell? Bueller? Bueller?)

Forty ominously solemn petitions, primarily from Red States, have sprouted up on https://petitions.whitehouse.gov.

So it was only a matter of time before the pranksters weighed in.

At least we think they’re pranksters.

“Deport Everyone That Signed A Petition To Withdraw Their State From The United States of America” popped up on the White House website late Monday. The No. 1 signer, and apparent creator, is one Joshua L from Birmingham, Ala.

With 7,986 signatories already, the appeal is only 17,014 John Hancocks (or John Hs) short of having it carefully considered by the Obama administration.  Source    (Phily.com)

Terra’s post is important, especially in light of the most recent election and the holiday season that is fast approaching. Let’s not just be hearer’s of the word, but also doer’s of the word. Thank you, Terra, for this beautiful posting after God’s own heart.

THIS COULD BE ANY ONE OF US……………….. NEVER SAY NEVER.

Typically this is not like me to write a random post without the leading of the Holy Spirit but then again, this could be such doing and my emotions and compassion for the lost, broken, and hungry have stepped forward in a bold moment. This message in regards to Feeding the Multitude applies to those who need physical nourishment as well as spiritual. We are called to go out and tend to them. The widows, the orphans, the sick and all. Believe me when I say that I am speaking to myself as well as you because we all need to pitch in and help. We are instructed to do this in an act of obedience and love.

Seceding Christendom Mad at Obama

Apparently, there a lot of ruffled right-wing feathers that Governor Mitt Romney lost the election; many of these have taken to screaming succession from The Union! In other words, they want to take their toys and go home — to another country, I guess?  Or are they thinking that those of us who are quite content in our states, (I’m from Texas), will just take our state and leave?

Well, we won’t. 😉

I’m not going anywhere nor am I seceding from the good ole’ USA. I’m staying right here in these UNITED states with my family of animals and one child and we’re not budging.

These Republican folks are this ticked off about the President Obama electoral massacre over Governor Mitt Romney! This is hysterical. Err..historical. Yes, I know it’s absurd and reminds me of my now thirteen year old daughter when she was three. She clamored for her way and didn’t get it so stomped about and threw a full-on tantrum; I guess this is pretty much the same kind of thing, huh?  It’s kind of surreal though, isn’t it?

I’m kind of laughing to myself at all the drama, but I guess I better pray for these people instead. Some of these people are actually quite serious!

Back to the Civil War? Obama’s opponents seek to secede
Steve Frank
6:33 pm on 11/12/2012

Now that President Obama has been re-elected, some of his fiercest critics don’t want to be part of the United States. And they’re not talking about moving to Canada: they want to pull the nation apart from within.

Citizens from 20 states have filed petitions on the White House “We The People” website seeking to secede from the union and form new state governments, The Washington Post reports. (Under the program, launched last year, the White House will respond to any petition that receives 25,000 or more signatures within 30 days.) Some of the signers may have been inspired by a Republican Party official in Texas who last week called for his state to secede from the United States and the “maggots” who re-elected Obama.  Source

States Petition to Secede From the Union

They don’t want to take their country back. They just want to leave it behind.

As the dust settles in the wake of President Obama’s decisive reelection last Tuesday, the White House petition website has been flooded by a series of secession requests, with malcontents from New Jersey to North Dakota submitting petitions to allow their states to withdraw from the union.

Most of the petitions submitted thus far have come from solidly conservative states, including most of the Deep South and reliably separatist Texas. But a handful come from the heart of blue America – relatively progressive enclaves like Oregon and New York.

All told, petitions have been filed on behalf of 20 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.  Source

Walk in the Spirit

Walking in the Fruit of the Holy Spirit

“Nothing will draw nonbelievers and believers alike to the Lord than a truly sanctified saint in the Lord who is walking and operating in all 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit. If you are willing to allow the Holy Spirit to work and transmit all 9 of these fruits up into your personality to some appreciable degree in this life – you will then become a light that will literally radiate the presence of God Himself through your soul and personality.

You have no idea how many people you will be able to save, touch, witness to, and help disciple if you have these fruits operating through you. These fruits will give you a credibility with God and with other people that no degree or title can give you in this life. This sanctification process is the ultimate, highest aim and goal with God for our lives.

For those of you who are not afraid to let God begin this deeper sanctifying work in your life – keep these 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit directly in front of you – and work very closely with the Holy Spirit once He starts to manifest these fruits up into your personality.

These fruits will be coming directly from Him. They will be His love, His goodness, His joy, and His peace that will start to flow into you. But you will still have to do your part in all of this. Once these divine attributes start to be released into your personality by the Holy Spirit – your job will then be to start to walk and operate in them.”  Source
