Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus (By Jeff Bethke)

Christian Guide to Voting for Black & White

It is a shame that we (the church / God's people) are more divided than the political parties we identify with.  The political parties and there mis-representatives I will not blast, though it be easy to do, HOWEVER the church is going to get a mouthful.  So as we go forward (I hope) this blog is for Christians, not unbelievers or make-believers.  This is for the "Soundly Saved", the Redeemed, Chosen, Elect, Children of The King, the Bride of Christ;
1Peter 2:9 NKJV
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

"His own special people", called "a peculiar people" in the King James, doesn't mean strange, although we are acting that way, but means purchased and set part!  Are we?  Are you?

As a Christian we should vote, and at this time in our history there are only three main issues for the Christian.  Some say; Why should we vote, we can't legislate morality.  Your right, we can't, but we can and do legislate immorality at an alarming rate!  We are called to be Light and Salt are we not?
Matthew 5:13-16 NKJV
(13) You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned?  It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
(14) You are the light of the world.  A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
(15) Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
(16) Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. 

Light shows the way and Salt preserves.  Let us show overcoming abundant Godly living and preserve the character and heritage of our founding fathers.

Before I tell you the three main Christian issues, let me say this.  If you are a member of the "Black Church" (isn't it terrible that we have these divisions - just like the world?) and voted for a Black candidate solely on his color - you are a disgrace to The Church.  Conversely, if you are in the white church (don't the labels sicken you?) and voted against a Black candidate solely because he was black, you are a disgrace to The Church also.  Without going any further, here lies the problem with the people of God.

The issues are not jobs, economy, war, health care or trade relations.  Not for us.  We have a God whom has overcome all these things!
Hebrews 13:5-6 NLT
(5) Don't love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, "I will never fail you. I will never abandon you."
(6) So we can say with confidence, "The LORD is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?"

The issues are Abortion, Homosexuality and Israel.  Where does "your" candidate or party stand on these issues?  How is it that there is Separation of Church and State only if you are a Christian, or Conservative?  How can "Black Churches" be bused into one of the National Conventions without challenge?  Which party is supporting tax payer abortions and sex changes to inmates?  Which party is promoting same-sex marriage and ignoring the threats against those who stand up for what God says about this?  Which party changed it's speech to remove "God" from one of the statements and changed its wording to be more Pro-Israel?

WE have our Messiah and He will not share His Glory with anyone!

Darwin's Gift to Humanity

My name is insomnia, I keep you from sleep
I want to make you miserable; I want to make you weep
If you get away from me, I have a good friend
His name is Night-terrors and he will get you in the end

To wake up with the sweats with darting wide eyes
Panting and shaking with deep painful sighs
I also have friends called Sickness and Pain
Who's job is to kill you or injure or maim

They have small annoyances, like itches and aches
They want you to suffer and will do what it takes
There’s deafness and blindness and fears from within
That drive to the false refuge of whiskey and gin

There are pains in the neck and pains in the back
There are pains in head and pains that attack
The liver, the kidneys, the lungs and the heart
There are pains in the bladder that strike like a dart

There’s heartburn and acid that comes from the gut
And earache and toothache and pains from a cut
There's asthma, arthritis and a whole lot more
Terrifying diseases to put you at death’s dark door

There are ailments with names that are real hard to say
That are attacking and maiming thousands each day
There’s frightening cancers that eat at the brain
And others so painful they will drive you insane

So what hope can you give me if the fittest survive
The hopelessness of evolution can’t keep me alive
It’s unscientific, and was dreamed up by man
Who runs from his Creator whenever he can

We live in a world that has fallen from God
And when we feel these pains we should give a wise nod
And believe the Scriptures despite what men say
Who will stand before God and believe on that Day

They will get what they deserve, they loved lying and lust
And despised the cross and repentance and trust
They will wish that we warned them that God meant what He said
But swallowed the lie, when men are dead, they're dead

If you’re not born again, please listen to me
God offers eternal life, and it's completely free
Don’t ignore the warnings of life’s pains anymore
Because this place is Heaven compared to what's in store

I'm speaking the truth and deep down you know it
Life is most precious; make sure you don’t blow it
God so loved the world, He gave Jesus His Son
You don't need religion because the sufferings been done

So go save the whales and look after the trees
Lay off the salt and don't eat too much cheese
Eat plenty of fiber and die healthy and well
But die in your sins, and you will end up in Hell.
