God's Economy is Not in a Recession

When I watched the news recently and the "scare" of a recession is quickly spreading across the country, I looked at my wife and told her that we are not going to participate in the recession.

That may sound a bit ridiculous but children of God are not citizens of this world's system and therefore are not subject to this world's financial system. God has put a system into place that supercede the world's way of doing things. It's seedtime and harvest.

It has happened several times in the Bible where the world was going through financial struggle but the people of God did not have to suffer. So if you are a covenant person you have a right to live successfully at all times. It's called the Kingdom of God system. God's way of doing things almost seems backwards to natural thinking. For instance, God says if someone slaps you to turn the other cheek, if someone steals your t-shirt, to give them your coat also. And he says that if you don't have enough money... to give money away. It does not make sense... but it makes faith.

God's Thoughts: But seek ye first the kingdom of God (his way of doing things) and all these things shall be addd unto you- Matthew 6:33

God's Thoughts: I have been young and now old, but I have never seen the righteous forsaken or His seed begging bread.

Barack Peeved At Racism

I was proud of Barack Obama yesterday for giving such an important speech on race and race relations in America. He very eloquently put the race conversation in the forefront where all the subtle "under the breath" comments could no longer be done.

For a long time, this country has been dealing with race relations and it's time for it to heal. Obama seems to be the perfect person considering his diverse background and pledge of change, to lead these conversations. He dealt with the issue of being "too black" on one hand, "and not black enough" on the other. He spoke and put the ball back into the court of the American people... what are we going to do about it.

God's Opinion: Behold, how good and pleasant it is for people to live together in unity. - Psalm 133:1

What Should a Christian Look Like?

People are really tired of a formula display of what a christian is supposed to look like. It seems that people have perfected being phonies. If people would just follow Christ's example and what the Bible says... it would be absolutely refreshing.
This DOESN'T mean, however, that people who don't even read the Bible should be able to dictate what Christian's should or shouldn't do... So they are the last people that should be saying... "Why are you doing that, I thought you said you were a Christian."

God's Thoughts: THEREFORE BE imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father].
