IN THIS HOUSE WE BELIEVE:

TRUMPS VICTORY SHOWS THAT WE WHO ARE DISMISSED AS “CONSPIRACY THEORISTS” HAVE REJECTED THE LIES OF THE LEFT THAT FALSELY DEMONIZE TRUMP TO PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THE LIES OF THE MEDIA, KAMALA HARRIS, JOE BIDEN, AND THE DEEP STATE. WHO DON’T RECOGNIZE THE CENSORSHIP OF FACEBOOK AND OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA BECAUSE IT DOESN’T AFFECT THEM OR ENDORSE THE CENSORSHIP OF THOSE WHO DISAGREE WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE ONLY THEY HAVE THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH. TRUMP WILL NOT DO TO THOSE THAT HAVE PERSECUTED HIM WHAT THEY DID TO HIM. TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE NOT WHAT KAMALA, BIDEN AND HILLARY HAVE SAID. WE LOVE THOSE WHO DISAGREE WITH US AND WOULD LOVE A DISCUSSION WITH YOU THAT RESPECTS ALL PEOPLE’S RIGHT TO HAVE THEIR OWN POINT VIEW AND RESPECTING NO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO CENSOR OTHERS’ POINT OF VIEW OR FORCE ON OTHERS THEIR OWN POINT OF VIEW!

THIS MESSAGE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FIRST AMENDMENT (ATTACKED BY BIDEN HARRIS WHO SWORE TO PROTECT AND DEFEND IT):

Amendment I.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Amendment II.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Nobody’s perfect (part II)

I am part of a team of people starting “HOPE” for Mental Health at Kentwood Community Church.  We are part of Celebrate Recovery founded by Rick Warren of Saddleback Church.  This group of courageous people, who admit their imperfections and trust Jesus to deliver them, have been a catalyst to me being able to confess my sins to another trusted person (or small group).  I read my Nobody’s Perfect post from August of 2013 tonight and realized I had promised to get back to you when I had put this into practice.

Much better late than never.

I had told Jesus my sins but telling another person with skin on freed me from most of the grip of satan in my life.  No amount of prayer has freed me as much as telling my sin to another person.  Sin loses power when exposed.

I have known for years that I was “supposed to” confess my sins to another.  But I made excuses and told myself it really didn’t matter.  I lost years of my life to satan’s influence simply because “I know more than God.”

God is not mocked.  I reaped what I sowed.

But I have learned.

Hopefully.

Buyer Beware!

“It’s no good, it’s no good!” says the buyer; then off he goes and boasts about his purchase.  Proverbs 20:14 NIV84

This was me for most of my life.  I would try and get things for less than they were worth and then tell my friends what a great deal I got.  But if Jesus says that we are to treat others (the seller) just as I would want to be treated (if I was the seller) then I need to look again at this Proverb.

If the buyer is boasting about his purchase I assume he felt it was a quality item… Who boasts about buying junk?  If that is true he lied to the buyer when he said it was “no good.”  Why would he do that?  If he did lie it may have been to get the item at a price less than the buyer thought it was worth.  To me that’s stealing.

So, if my assumptions are correct this one short sentence condemns the buyer for being a braggart, a liar and a thief.

Since coming to this realization I have been slowly changing.  I’ve been thinking about the seller’s position when I buy something, and not just my own.  If I am following (obeying) Jesus I believe God will give me all the money I need to fulfill his mission for my life. I’m not going to withhold what someone else deserves because I am afraid of running out of money (scarcity mentality). I will bless them by giving to them freely just as Jesus gives to me freely.  I will see buying something as an opportunity to love the seller and treat them as someone dearly loved by the God Who died for them.

Yet changing is difficult and I have a long way to go.

What do you think about this?  Is the seller worth showing the love of Jesus to?  Will Jesus keep you supplied with the money you need if you are doing what he says?  Do we serve the Almighty God? Or the almighty dollar?

100% JESUS

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Daniel 7:14,27
