Ignorance
I'm going to do this with the ramifications of when we were born. To me its amazing that in the 21st century we still have separation between male and female, black and white, red and yellow. What if someone was green, pink, or blue? What about people with green and red hair, blue and purple hair? What do we say to them? Do we not like them because they're a different color or come from a different part of the world? We've established that we know the world is made up of so many people, but America, the melting pot of all different races that have come along trying to become citizens; leaving their countries behind. America was founded in the 1700s, we left our old country behind to start new. We weren't here first, America was mostly inhabited by Native Americans and even then equality didn't go over so well. The pilgrims came with high ideas for their new country, but it only takes a few bad apples in a barrel to rotten the whole bunch. All in the name "freedom of religion." They came to have freedom to worship the way they wanted to, but in the case of high ideals of themselves, the people here didn't measure up to their education and/or worship the same God as they did, so they called them savages and started to try to change them to their way. Isn't that why many of them left their own country to have freedom, even though that is exactly what they did to the Native Americans. They said, "if you are not for us then you are against us" and as usual a war ensued, all in the name of religion and habits. According to the scriptures in Galatians 3:28. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus". In chapter 4:6,7. "And because you are sons, and daughters ( I added this to not to change the scriptures like the Amplified little foot notes for everyone.) God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out , " Abba, Father!" Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and daughter, and if a son, and daughter, then an heir of God through Christ." That means everyone, yours, mine, and ours. On the inside we are the same we bleed the same color blood; "red!" I haven't seen anyone bleed green or blue, well maybe Mr. Spock on Star Trek but here on earth, not on TV it's good old earthly red. If God was for it then that settled it, look at it from Gods view He see's the inward man, and woman, so if we call ourselves Christians "which means Little Jesus," and we are suppose to be like Him. Let's get with the program, we are all one people. You know satan likes us to be separated in our views, and that is so we have no power, so let's come together like at the time of the Tower of Babel. God said there is nothing that they can accomplish with one mind and one accord. So if you see someone truly in love don't judge if they are black and white, blue and green, even indigo and violet. Don't look at what they are or who they are. Don't judge a book by it's cover, see whats inside, read a little. Let the script be written.

Friends on face book
Once upon a time in a land far far away called Facebook, I became friend happy, the more friends I could pick the more conversations I could have. Let me tell you I didn't know what I was in store for ( now this shows my ignorance). I chose friends because they were Christians, what I didn't realize was that most people from foreign countries had there hand out. If you said you can't, they never spoke to you anymore until they forgot who you were then they would ask again. There first question to you on chat is "hello how are you?", answer (fine) next question. Are you a pastor? Answer Yes. Would you be part of my ministry with you ? Before I could answer they would ask for money, I would explain to them that we are a small church a we support a ministry called Truth Ministries for Haiti. Some get so angry they say if you can give them you can give me and some are very persistent. In your heart they make you feel bad because you can't support them also. I have come to learn do what you can for the Lord, and everything else will take care of it's self. The Lord ask us to try the spirits to find out wither they are good or bad, because everything that satan (I don't ever capitalize the name) does is almost never in the likeness of ugly, but TV and Halloween makes him out to be evil in looks, my question is would he be able to trick you if he came to you that way? It's usually something beautiful that entices you. Now don't get me wrong I am not saying that all things beautiful are bad. Remember satan is the author of perdition, which means he began the lies. Remember he also mimics Christs kingdom, but it is right the opposite so check
yourselves.
Usually what I have seen is, I have these dates open to preach, oh and they don't tell you this but my fee is 1500 to 3000 dollars to come and preach, plus air fare and a hotel room also. You know what is funny churches, really pay this. What if Jesus had of preached the Sermon on the Mount and then said that's 1500 dollars. Instead he feed the 5000, plus women and children. Not only did he feed their souls, but he also feed their physical bodies. What I feel is that if he gave you something freely, you should give it freely also, if people want to give you a love offering so be it. Because it was given by the love in their hearts. Paul specifically said he worked at what he knew and never asked for the money for preaching the Gospel and with Gods help he turned the world upside down.
So once again take a spiritual mind, heart, and eyes, and feed the spiritual man, not the human side because God will do that anyway. God tells us in the scriptures that if we seek Him all the other things in our lives will be taken care of, and that is a promise and a fact. The miracle that I have is that God has saved me from death three times not by anything I have done because if it was left up to me I would have died and that is a fact. God has something big in store for me that's why I am hanging around.
Friends I just want to let you know that if you are not sure about Jesus in your life, check Him out for your selves, no scare tactics check it out with your heart.
