Creflo & Copeland Take a Stand

2008-04-02T05:37:00.000-07:00

I find it very interesting that although Senator Grassley suggests that he is not targeting the theology of these "word of faith" ministries, that all of them are in fact: word of faith ministries. Senator Grassley suggests that he feels that these people are abusing their tax exempt status when ministries the sizes of the six in questions take extra caution to ensure they are complying with regulatory standards via audits several times a year.

I must admit that I appreciate the fact that Pastor Creflo Dollar and Kenneth Copeland are taking a stand against what is nothing more than an attack on the Word of Faith theology. I find it offensive that the government believes that church people are poor and should that they should be poor. Reports have shown that World Changers Ministries headed up by Creflo Dollar brought in $69 million dollars last year, but all of that money went out to do the work of the ministry. Was anyone aware that it costs money to minister?

Creflo Dollar has gotten on many news shows and told how he makes his money. He owns several businesses and writes book where he owns the intellectual property rights. The same can probably be said for the other five ministries as well.

These minstries do more with their millions of dollars for people than the government does with his billions. I don't mind the stand they are taking. I say let them send a subpoena... or the next thing the government will be doing is censuring what the church can talk about.

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

2008-03-19T07:37:00.000-07:00

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?

2008-03-02T10:45:00.000-08:00

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].

Mayor Fired For Half-Nude Photos...Too Strict or Right Action?

2008-02-28T17:45:00.000-08:00

First it was President Bill Clinton with "dirty" office politics in the Oral... eh, rather Oval Office and now Carmen Kontur Gronquist, mayor of Arlington, Oregon has been fired for posting some racy photos on her myspace page. Now I don't know if I have a bigger problem with her photos or her being the mayor with a myspace page... but I digress.

I will be the first to admit that the photos themselves are not altogether that racy, they look as if she is wearing a two piece bathing suit... but they are a bra and panty set and she is posing on the small town (population 500) fire truck. (Talk about a siren) Granted, she posted the pictures before she was mayor, but doesn't she have a responsibility to take those photos down??

My opinion: We should hold our elected officials especially to a standard. When the former leader of this nation was caught with his pants down, (pun very much intended) we had a nation of pre-teens who now call themselves "technical virgins" because they were performing oral sex on each other and thinking it was okay....(Google Rainbow Parties) "I did not have sexual relations with that woman..."

Now of course people are going to say that those opposed to her racy pics are too uptight, but honestly most people admittedly still want to have a nation of standards and morals before it gets too out of hand.

I didn't add earlier that she was voted out... which proves the point.

God's Thoughts: When the righteous are in authority the people rejoice; but when the wicked bear rule the people mourn (Proverbs 29:2)
