Palin vs. Corruption

everfaith

How about that Palin?  Though you won’t see it on CNN’s website, she drew a crowd of 60,000 to a small retirement community north of Orlando this weekend.  That’s a six with four zeros behind it.  Didn’t Obama draw 85,000 when he accepted the nomination in front of a pseudo-Greek temple?  Read the article here. We have a close friend who is an Obama supporter.  He has met Obama a few times and supports him mainly because he is different.  He is most definitely not “more of the same” we have seen in Washington over the last fifty years or … Continue reading Palin vs. Corruption

Stop Pointing At The Other Guy!

everfaith

There is no doubt that our nation’s economics are in a huge mess.  In an effort to prevent another Great Depression, our government wants to use up to $700Billion (or more) of taxpayer money to buy up “bad” mortagages and debt. An article describing the fiasco in today’s Dallas Morning News summed it up this way: The action amounts to a massive bailout of banks and other investors that lowered their standards to make loans to borrowers who wouldn’t ordinarily qualify for a home loan. Congress has the administration’s brief, 3-page proposal and is apparently gearing up to add many … Continue reading Stop Pointing At The Other Guy!

Birth pains

everfaith

Some of my readers have recently condemned me as a Christian for posting the YouTube video entitled Dear Mr. Obama. These are people who believe that the Iraq war was a huge mistake and want our troops pulled home now. They support Obama because he did not support the war. They challenged me to think about what Jesus would have done if he was here in this time, in this place. What would Jesus do? First of all, the Lord chose the exact time and place for Jesus to be revealed. He came at a time when the Jews were … Continue reading Birth pains

Charity

everfaith

The word used for “love” in much of the Bible is also translated as “charity” in the English language.  My father used to call me a “bleeding heart” when I was a teen in angst.  I have not lost my compassion for the poor or the call on my life to live out my faith in the service of others.  You see, every penny we “have” is not our own.  The money in my pocket is actually the Lord’s money, and I strive to make choices such that he will say, one day when I stand before him, “well done, … Continue reading Charity

Religious Ignorance

everfaith

The mainstream media has a bias against anything and everything related to the Christian or Jewish religions. These media pundits grew up and were schooled in a time when the Bible was taken out of public classrooms, so it is not surprising that they now have an anti-God, anti-Christian mindset. It stands to reason that someone who grows up without much religious instruction would then believe anything bad enough to be taken out of schools must be inherently bad or somehow evil. The sad part is that much of our American history is rooted in religion.  In an effort to … Continue reading Religious Ignorance
