BY MATTHEW KELLY:
If you get the right man, then you get the right world! We need to focus on affecting what you can affect, and you will have the most effect. Happiness and pleasure are not the same. Lying never makes one happy. It is impossible to be grateful and unhappy at the same time. “Happiness” is contagious. People don’t like being lied too, we lie to ourselves and others out of laziness, greed or some other distortion of our beautiful humanity.
The world, the media and the politicians tell you that god wants you to b miserable, but that’s a lie. God created us for happiness, embrace the challenges. After all we live in a culture of pretense and lies, everything is bad, we need the government to guide and direct us instead of faith. the social media robs us of life, it takes our focus off living life and shifts it to presenting a false imagine of ourselves and our lives to others.
As Christians who know better, we should see social media isn’t a way to bring the positive message of hope and realism because interject stories filled with so much negativity, hopelessness. lies and talking points, the truth be dammed!
It was not Hitler, FDR, Stalin, MAO, Mohammad who has influenced human history more than any other person but “JESUS”, GOD.
Did all of this lying, falsehoods start with the story of Jesus resurrection? that it didn’t happen as written but lead to the bible of falsehoods of his resurrection, just can’t admit the truth. Believe what the social media tells us instead of hundreds of eyewitnesses and instead of what was written centuries ago. Today the media takes a story and reports the parts they want to influence their point of view, the bible is actual recorded facts!
There are very few statements in the bible that have proven false, unlike todays story telling. The bible was written from actual events, not made up events. The bible would be todays version of a “tpped” report---life.
Has Christianity, and Christian teachings, of good deeds more for the poor or is it only the rulers who can fix everything? Christian taught people the right from wrong by example not asking anything inn return. Can this be said today, “nothing in return for a favor”?
Throughout the years, the national events, the wars, terrorism what has held the Christian nation together, it was FAITH. look back and see where todays universities got their start, it was from Christians schools dating back to the 6th century in many parts of the world. It was our Christians who first spoke up for the women equal rights. Christians are blamed for many of the past mistakes made, do should all Germans be blamed for the Hitler’s crimes, or Mohammad cutting heads off.
Do you really believe Christians have a narrow vision, that only belief should be from scientists and academics? Only they know the true, that they are all against sex and fun, what bull. Whose most in favor of abortions, you know that answer. Gods wants you to multiple via marriage!
We are told holiness is not possible, remember if you tell a lie long enough it becomes the truth as people do not check. Sure, holiness is hard to obtain if you only worry about yourself, that there is not joy in helping others help themselves, to grow on their own to develop our own virtues and characters.
WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO?
First thank God for his many gifts every day. make better decisions, will they help other or hurt them. I know I need to improve the following, knowing they will not be done all at once, one step at a time. Pray daily, offer up to God something you did but didn’t want to do, control your temper, develop patience, offer praise whenever possible, ask for GUIADNCE, remain calm, paid attention to those around you.
Do I see myself as a person of holiness, Heh NO, a long way off? The world needs changing, not tomorrow, today! Speak out, get involved, challenge if necessary.
Christianity is on the run around the world, one attack after another, stop it today we are NOT the underdogs, we are the leaders, follow us!
We must take care of the children, or should I say the future of the church, stop the mis-treatment of them around the world. Our enemy is at the gate, decision time, try them away, through prayer. We must use our rights, our technology, our numbers, band together and stop this insane enemy.
Who will become the next Mother Teresa? My personal opinion is she would think India was a walk in the park versus the cleaning up Washington D.C. Christianity is about hope, helping, but not socialism. Why the decline we’re in, we’ve felled to show the people od our time what it is truly means to be a Christian, by showing it in our daily living, get off the bench and get into the game.
What are areas that Christians need to show the world to restore faith relationships, family, health, working, charity, fighting drugs. Get those fallen away back to church, obtain our hope and dreams. Question what you don’t understand.
Do you get involved or stand on sidelines and complain of the outcome. Do you feel your church is a temple of hope and encouragement, if not help it become one…we need to let them know we’re here, come join us?
Look what the politicians have done just in the last several years, destroyed a once great nation, not Dems or repub., BOTH sides. Pray out od schools, statutes removed, wording removed from gov buildings, but foot baths installed.
If you don’t think you can make a difference, then we are done, without support and the demand for fair and equal treatment good luck grandkids. Get out of low gear, shift into high, let people know where you stand, remember you only have to be popular with one BEING.
How do we do it---Walk the walk, talk the talk! Have self-belief, examples, get involved.
Like Saul Alinsky said in rules for radicals---CONTROL THE EVENT!!!!
MAYBE USE THIS AS A STARTER;
Lord, Here I am. I trust that you have an incredible plan for me. Transform me. Transform my life. Everything is on the table. Take what you want to take and give what you to give. I make myself 100 percent available to you today. Transform me into the person you created me to be, so-I can live the life you envisioned for me at the beginning of time. I hold nothing back. I am lOO percent available. Lead me, challenge me, encourage me, and open my-eyes to all your possibilities. Show me what it is you want me to do, and I will do it.
Amen
