When people I meet view my Facebook page

Do I want them to see me spewing right wing, racist, bigoted, hate material? Will I be able to "model Christ" if I invite them to dialog and they find my Facebook page? Being that we are to represent Christ to everyone, I'm thinking Christ would rather that not happen.

First agenda: Stop "Israel"

No more tax dollars funding terrorism Learn the truth Palestinian Christian: Not invented Why Gaza? Why America? the whole story Arafat (lies) Jesus was NOT a Jew How they do it

Working for a greater World

From a friend: 1. I voted for the most pro-life candidate, because God hates the shedding of innocent blood(Prov. 6:17) 2. I voted for the most pro- Israel candidate, because God blesses those who bless Israel and curses those who don't (Gen. 12:3) 3. I voted for the most pro-marriage candidate, because God is for marriage as He defined it in Genesis 2:24. 4. I voted for the candidate who most closely believes government's purpose is to reward the good and punish the evil (Rom. 13) 5. I voted for the most pro-debt reduction candidate, because the borrower is servant to the lender (Prov. 22:7) 6. I voted for the most pro-work candidate, because God says if a man does not work, let him not eat (2 Thes. 3:10) 7. I voted based as closely as I can on God's infallible Word which is ".....given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work" ( 2 Tim. 3:16-17) -->And after I vote, I will rest knowing that whoever gets elected, God is the one who puts all men in authority to either His glory or to man's own destruction ( Dan. 2:21) My thoughts: 1. I agree God hates the shedding of innocent blood. Iraq and Afghanistan were a lie. We need to get completely out of there. As to abortion, if you criminalize it, women that need abortions to save their life, will not be able to get them. My sister in law would have had to keep carrying two dead babies and hope she didn't get an infection and die. Instead of demoralizing women, put more money into education and adopt those kids. Put your money where your mouth is. PS pro-life should be anti death penalty also. 2. Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away…Revelation 21:1. The meek will inherit the WHOLE Earth. Not some piece of real estate in the Middle East. Israel is not the Zion you think it is. That is a Zionist lie that came out of the Holocaust. Also refer to #1. Israel is creating genocide in Palestine. With OUR tax dollars. It is against international law and all countries hate us because of that. Please research and keep us out of WW3 where many other innocent lives will be lost. Iran will be a lie also. Yes the Bible says there are things to come, but this is a man made lie. 3. While I agree the Bible talks about homosexuality being an abomination (for people that take things literally), sin is between the sinner and God and has no place in our Government. Our governments responsibility is human rights for ALL people. It is the churches responsibility to preach God's word. Not the government. 4. From Romans 13: Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. That is God's judgement. Not ours. It has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Texas has executed at least 2 innocent men. We need to stop the death penalty. We need to be more lenient on drug offenses that put people in prison for years. In the most free country on earth, we have the most prisoners. That should tell you something right there. We are judgmental, racist, holier than thou people. Exactly who Jesus came to warn us against. 5. I agree. But it is holier than thou, live like you can afford champagne on a beer budget Americans that got us where we are. That and two wars (refer to #2). It is Congress that you need to be holding accountable. If they don't vote the way you elected them to vote, throw them out. Stay on them to work UNITED for our country. 6. As the greatest free country on this earth, I hope we ALWAYS give humanitarian aid. If you feel the government is pandering to sluggards, vote them out! Stay on them! Better yet, get more involved in your local community to help feed the poor, fix a run down house of a single mother or elderly person, find needs that you can really help with, and quit expecting the government that you don't want in your life to be a bother to other lives. 7. Agreed. and I would add love one another is a commandment, not a suggestion. When you are out in the world, your reputation should be as such that the poor, lost, sinful, hurting world sees what you have and wants it. *lovewins

This says it so much better than I can ever say

Israel is NOT God's kingdom, the whole earth is

Setting the record straight

I just wanted to set the record straight because of some untruths going around. Many years ago when I got that lp from the kid in India that was the only source of income for his family and he was prostituting himself, God grabbed my heart for injustice in this world. When I was watching the unfolding freedom fight in Tunisia, I started adding Tunisian people on Twitter because our news was painting them as all Al Qaeda terrorists and I knew in my heart that was wrong. And I was right. So over the years I have been adding people on Twitter around the world, and following them in Livestream and other real time chats. I have found truths from the peoples lips that are living what we see in the news to be different than what we are seeing on the news. Everyone of them wants exactly the same thing we do...freedom from oppression and peace in their lands so they can raise their children in love and safety. I feel the same for ALL oppressed people and I care LESS about what government is doing it. Including America by the way. I have NO income right now, so any money that I do make by way of taking surveys or the few dollars my son gives me for watching his children, goes to Church Online. To get the message of Jesus Christ into every country we can. I do NOT send monetary support to ANY revolution groups. I support them with prayer and getting information out only. I do sometimes go overboard with the information, but I have 1500 friends that can actually DO something, be it only letter writing or sharing information. Knowing the truth about people we are bombing makes it that much harder to justify killing them, IMO. I totally understand that people will not agree with me and that's okay, I will fight for your right not to agree with me either. On the case of Israel and Palestine, I know that is a touchy subject because of the spiritual implications, but my Palestinian Christian friends make NO bones about the occupation and oppression of ALL Palestinians to the tune of apartheid, genocide and starving them all to death. The protest is against the Israeli GOVERNMENT policies and not against the Jews or Judaism. It has nothing to do with spiritual Zion, but a political movement that is hiding behind a spiritual movement. The protest against the American government for using OUR tax dollars to support this is against the government, not the American people. Once I came to understand that Muslims hate us (hence 9/11) because of our government policy of supporting the GOVERNMENT of Israel in killing Palestinians and talking to the people on the ground, Christians and Muslims, I joined with several Christian, Muslim and Jewish groups to help them FORCE the Israeli government back to the peace table. They all lived peacefully in that land for thousands of years before. They can again. I know about terrorists, we have them here too remember? There are nuts in every race and religion on this planet. We don't always hear of the terrorism that goes on every day in countries around the world because our news medias think it not newsworthy. But talking to people on the ground can sure open your eyes. All this to say, I do NOT condone terrorism of any kind (though I can understand why a lot of it happens now) but I also do NOT support ANY oppressive government. I don't care who it is or who it offends, I WILL stand with the people in overthrowing those governments. And if you ever doubt one person can do something, just today the Guardian (UK) fired an American journalist they had just hired for inciting hate in Israel in past tweets he sent out. All because of a letter writing campaign by people all over the world. People can and are making a difference. I don't expect everyone to become an activist, I just wanted to explain 'my' view of the things I do. I DO believe that becoming a believer in Jesus Christ as the son of God is the ONLY way to go to heaven, but that also gives me more accountability in the way I treat people of other faiths. Killing them will NOT get them saved...loving them will. *lovewins Thanks for letting me share. love you...mean it :)

I believe this way...therefore your theology is wrong

Seems to be most of what I read on the internet. I don't agree with that at all. The things I read (including differing translations of the Bible) shape my theology for 'me'. That in no way makes what 'you' believe or read or embrace as theology wrong. This journey in life is God revealing your relationship to YOU and only you, to me and only me. (I do understand about community, but this is different) I read a great blog post today that I agreed with so much, but there was that hint of comparable theology in it even so. It just bothers me. Why can't you tell your story without pointing out others 'faults'? http://graceemerges.blogspot.com/2012/06/perspective-driven-life-breath-of-fresh.html is the example today. I happen to love the perspective driven life idea and love everything that is after the comparing to purpose driven part. Now mind you, I don't know the author, they may not have been trying to say Rick Warren's theology is wrong, but that's how it came over to me. I'd rather read someones thoughts on something, without them comparing themselves and their theology to anyone else. Tell me what God's revelation to YOU is. Then let me absorb it and test it against God's revelation to me. I don't need to have someone telling me 'so and so is wrong' to get me to see their side. The Holy Spirit does a pretty good job of throwing stuff out I don't need in our relationship. I don't need you playing Holy Spirit Jr. I'll give an example in my life...because of the Arab revolutions, I became friends with many Arabs on the ground all over the world. There are some that tell their story while pointing out what is wrong with other perspectives, but they tell their story from their point of view. It's opened my eyes a lot. I share a lot of their stories around the internet. I don't expect people to say 'oh yeah you are exactly right' and abandon everything they ever thought otherwise, but I don't expect them to say 'you are wrong and damned to hell' either. God's revelation to you is just that...for you. I would in NO way tell you not to believe a certain way, not to go to a certain church, not to have certain friends etc. And I certainly don't need you to tell me that either. I am on the "call to a high level of awareness of the present and of the needs of other people, more as a partnership with God than as a fulfillment of a prescribed purpose."

"Love the sinner, hate the sin" pukes

I have read so many blogs over the last week that I literally threw up. Okay so it's a bug in our house, but anyway... My Facebook, which is where I spend most of my online time, is to me, the same as my house. ALL ARE WELCOME and all is fun. Life. is. fun.

I am in tears. God help us I am so totally deflated that our government lied to us, killed innocent people over lies, and continues to support a murderous regime in Israel. We need to pull all our troops and our money home and live in peace with the world. Let Israel either make and live in peace with the Palestinians or risk being wiped out. this is enough of this bullshit!

Wisdom

BETTER—3 WISDOM IS BETTER THAN GOLD WE MAKE OUR DECISIONS AND OUR DECISIONS MAKE US. “Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?" 2 Chronicles 1:10 BETTER How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver! Proverbs 16:16 lots of wisdom! Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Proverbs 4:7 lol prideful liar DON’T BE A FOOL—GET WISDOM FOOLS ACT BEFORE THEY THINK. Wise people think before they act; fools don't—and even brag about their foolishness. Proverbs 13:16 NLT he lost it on the nip story foflol FOOLS SPEND ALL THEY EARN. In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has. Proverbs 21:20 FOOLS HURT THOSE THEY LOVE. The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. Proverbs 14:1 FOOLS THINK THEY KNOW IT ALL. Fools think their own way is right, but the wise listen to others. Proverbs 12:15 NLT HOW DO I GET WISDOM? FEAR GOD. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs 9:10 holy fear of the most awesome God of the universe. fear is the beginning of wisdom. the more I get to know God, the more in awe of him I am I WANT to honor him with my decisions ASK GOD. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all "without finding fault", and it will be given to him. James 1:5 HANG OUT WITH WISE PEOPLE. He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm. Proverbs 13:20 you are who you hang out with get godly counsel seek it! find it! get it! How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver! Proverbs 16:16 NEXT WEEK’S MEMORY VERSE: A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold. Proverbs 22:1 TALK IT OVER What would you say is the most important thing you have learned so far during the series, Better? Which of these four categories would be the biggest weakness for you: act before you think, spend all you earn, hurt those you love or think you know it all? What is your next step to get wisdom?

Ponderings

Number of people serving as facilitators. This is a much more important number than most realize. Since the ability to rotate facilitators predicts both group viability (it can survive the absence of the leader) and expansion capability (much easier for group members to see themselves as group leaders), this is a helpful number to track.

The meek shall inherit the (whole) earth
