IS THERE REALLY A GOD?

What if there really is a God who created everything and controls everything? How many of you answer the question YES? How many are willing to make the assumption and go with the results? How about trusting in that premise in all you do? Want to do the experiment for a day, a week, a month, a year or even the rest of your life on earth? No more flipping around from one set of values to another. No switching of heroes and idols. One diet. One set of goals for life. One career. One wife or one husband for life. Have you ever observed the amount of conflict in the world around you? Are you part of the conflict? Problem? What if we were all part of one family with one set of family values and rules? How many sports teams win the league when the players don't agree with the game plan? How many nations have succeeded forever? Why do companies fail? What does united mean? Like in United States. Or, united we stand, divided we fall? What is love? What is the first word that pops in your head after you say love? Is it doing your best for a friend or acquaintance without expecting anything in return? Or, is it more mutual? I like you if you like me. Or, maybe, I want you at all cost. Mostly, your cost. It can vary from its all about you to its all about me or anywhere in between. Am I more important than everyone else or, is everyone else more important than me? Who decides? In a family, there has to be a dad. Who's your dad? Where do you get your guidance? From self? How good has that been? How happy are you about the past and the present? Talk about happy! What is happy? Laughter? No sadness or despair right. Money? Love? Sex? Drugs? Alcohol? Good job? Nice family? Safety? Health? Youth? Power, position? Friends? Car, boat, airplane, house?

Thoughts for July 20, 2013

No Blogs posted since last September. Has any one out there been trying to follow? Much has been happening that distracted me. Our Church "Dillon Community Church" in Dillon, Colorado had their senior pastor Brian Myers resign a year ago last April. So, for about a year much has been done to find a new pastor. And, it has distracted my attention from other parts of life. God has a way with that for many of us. Some of my immediate family and I have been reading the Bible through from beginning to end. Actually, not quite that way. We are using the Tyndale one year Bible. There are daily selections of OT, NT, Psalms and Proverbs to read. The Psalms are read through twice in one year. I have tried to post comments after completing the daily reading. Mostly everyday. Some times I miss. I highly recommend the endeavor for your family if you are inclined. Some of my thoughts are pretty weird. For example, followers of Christ often refer to themselves as believers. Then they are likely to call others non-believers. Make Sense? Well not really. Because the true believer is not to judge others. Words from Jesus. So, ergo, how do they know who is a believer and who is not? Also, since we are told in the Bible that no one is righteous, not one, what would be the difference between a believer and a non-believer? Faith and faith alone. Certainly not righteousness. Do you want to think about "leadership"? Or, maybe the World View vs the Christian View? Let me know I really like to discuss life. How about abortion or homosexuality? How about weapons? Today we(my family and I) read the Proverb !9:21 You can make many plans, but the Lord's purposes will prevail. So, why plan? I believe there is good reason for planning. What do you think they are?
