Forwarded Email Truth ~ Probably NOT

A huge pet-peeve of mine is people automatically forwarding emails without a second thought. I appreciate their intentions. Really. I do. But please. It only takes a few minutes to check something out to see if it's true or not. Why don't we just give that a try before we hit the Forward button? Huh?? Please???

I can't tell you how many times that I have had to send emails to friends to inform them that what they've been forwarding is indeed a hoax. Some of them appreciate it ~ many of them don't. Doesn't matter to me, really, if they appreciate it or not. They need to be aware that they are helping to spread lies, gossip, half truths, hoaxes.

And with November getting closer and closer, I'm getting more and more emails about politics and religion. Seriously. Most of these are coming to me from Christians. It's shameful.

From all the emails, one would think that Barak Obama was the anti-christ and John McCain was Michael the arc-angel. The jest? Don't vote for Obama ~ he'll drag us straight into hell but if you vote for McCain ~ he'll take us directly into righteousness. Neither are true.

We are to have a personal relationship with God. If you believe in Jesus Christ, you are not going to hell. NO matter what Barak Obama does if he were to lead this country.

And if you believe in Jesus Christ then He has made you righteous Through HIM. Doesn't matter what John McCain does if he were to lead this country.

I understand both sides of the issue. I'm not really even talking politics here. So, please, no emails about politics! I'm talking about a relationship with Christ that is a personal one.

Vote the way that seems best to you and to your faith.

And think next time before you forward something derogatory about Barak Obama. Every email I've received from well meaning Christians that has anything to do with Obama has been false. This falseness is being spread by hands that are supposed to represent Truth. These things should not be so.

Seriously. I couldn't have said it any better.

Not much more to say. Other than; While your
"standing" and "believing God" they are laughing
all the way to the bank.

They don't "love you" they love your money.

Wake up sleeping church.

You can't buy healing, you can't buy the "anoiting",
you can't buy prosperity, you can't buy peace.

Your money will never purchase any of God's gifts.

He's not interested in your money. He's interested
in you. I hope you can give to Him what He truly
desires ~ your heart.

Cheifest of Sinners

Paul said that he was the chiefest of sinners:

12. How thankful I am to Christ Jesus our Lord for considering me trustworthy and appointing me to serve him,13. even though I used to scoff at the name of Christ. I hunted down his people, harming them in every way I could. But God had mercy on me because I did it in ignorance and unbelief. 14. Oh, how kind and gracious the Lord was! He filled me completely with faith and the love of Christ Jesus. 15. This is a true saying, and everyone should believe it: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners ? and I was the worst of them all. 16. But that is God had mercy on me, so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of his great patience with even the worst sinners.Then others will realize that they, too, can believe in him and receive eternal life.

Sometimes I feel like the worst sinner, while trying to please God, and I wonder how I can be a sinner and saved at the same time. But that's the brilliance of God ~ with Him all things are possible.

He doesn't ask us to straighten ourselves out and then come to Him to be saved. We come to Him first, with all our sin, our mistakes, our blunders. All of it ~ no matter how grimy and mixed up we really are. He knows already. There is nothing you've done that He doesn't know about. Nothing so horrible that He can't fix. It is only through Him that we can be saved and then He'll clean us up all in due time. It's a process.

I think the message is a simple one, that we often compound, God does not give up on us. He loves us and desires us to be set free from the bondages of sin. That is why Jesus took our punishment on the cross. But we are not perfect yet. We are a work in progress.

We should never be surprised when sinners sin and those of us who are Christians ~ we are still sinners ~ Saved ~ but ONLY by His grace. We should thank God for His Mercy and always remember where we came from.

Be Well.

Please...

watch this video, it's too important to skip. It's not very long. Three minutes of you time.







Do you see the congregation laughing? Yeah, a few short years ago, that would have been me. I had the audacity to laugh and mock too. I'm not laughing anymore.

In my last post, Exposing Error I said:

"My hope is that I can be as bold at exposing error as the people that God sent into my life when I needed it. I didn't accept them then. No, I did exactly what my preacher did, the things that he subtly taught me from his pulpit - I laughed at them, mocked them, made fun of them, saw myself as "over" them because of my special "revelation knowledge", I even pitied them."

This is, in fact, 2 of the preachers that I had a big hearty laugh with ~ just as they are laughing here. This video is two minutes. Please watch.





I'm not proud of what I became ~ I'm just thankful that God got me out.

My hope is that you can get out too and repent of this garbage before it's too late.
