Two Greatest Commandments

-
Jesus had gotten together with the Pharisees, one of them who was an expert in the law inquired of him. Teacher what is the greatest commandments in the law. Jesus replied; "Love the lord your God with all your heart, all your mind and all your soul." This is the first and greatest commandment and the second is like it. Love your neighbors as yourself, all the laws and the prophets hang on these two commanments." Ultimately Jesus's message here is clear if you follow theses two commandments you will keep the others. More specifically the bible goes on to say "That God is light and in him is no darkness, if we say we have fellowship with him yet continue to walk in darkeness we are a liar and the truth is not in us." To love God is to obey his commandments.

  All governments and authorities are put in place by God, after all he is the creater of the earth and the universe. I was reading on line just this morning that some lieutinant colonial who has served in the army for over eighteen years is refusing to deploy to his second tour in Afgahnistan. This is do to his believe that our current president, President Barrack Obama was not legitimately born in the United States. He is a member of some right wing political group who call themselves the birthers. They believe in some insane political theory that he can't be President because he does not meet the constitutional requirements necessary to be President of the United States. The first is that you must have been born in the US and second that you have had to be at least 35 years old and reside here for a least fourteen years prior to running for office. President Barrack Obama was born in Honolulu Hawaii August 4th 1961, was 47 years old at the time of his election, and has resided in the US since 1971.

   Now I guess you are wondering how I tie these two topics together, The real problem that these birthers and this colonial are having is the discomfort they feel with the fact that we have a Black President. This colonial is so deniably plausibly racist that he would rather face court martial from the army than serve under a Black President. These people represent the extreme right wing branch of the Republican party. Their views are in concert with the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sara Palin. My point is simply this, if the people who hold these ignorent views would follow the two Greatest commandments. The problem they have with our current President would simply go away.  They would not only love God appropriatly but they would have no problem loving all of mankind accordingly, including our current President Barrack Hussien Obama.

This post was written on the date indicated which is June 30th 2010 there was not a rain cloud in the sky. But for most of the early summer here in Des monies Iowa it has been raining cats and dogs as they like to say. Its has rained so frequently in recent weeks that there is now concern here in Iowa for major flooding in the main tributaries of the Des monies river basin. It is reminiscent of the floods of 1993 and 2008 that happened here in the Midwest. The 1993 flood was considered a 100 year flood. The flood in 2008 was bad, but not as bad as 1993. The fact is these were very adverse circumstances that the communities who suffered them had to overcome. Water in the form of a flood is a very powerful and destructive force. There are not alot of resources available to mankind to combat this force when God decides to unleash it as he sometimes does. The analogy I would like to make today is that our life's are sometimes faced with flood like problems, and often times when we...

Generation Lost

In today's world there are a lot of signs that indicate we are in the last days. For those individuals who don't know Christ this can be a disturbing conversation. Even for those of us who claim to be saved and know the Lord for ourselves there is something unsettling about this topic as well. One of the most prominent reasons is that most of us don't know enough about Gods word or truth on the subject to make an informed decision. As our society has advanced and become more informed or as knowledge has increased, we have become more and more separated from the truth which is Gods word. In the book of Daniel it says specifically that, "But that ole Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase." It has become quite evident that knowledge has increased dramatically in the last 40 years. The Internet and other technologies has made access to information something unthought of bef...

There is also a clinical condition called SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder or post holiday depression. it is attributable to the anxiety we feel because the days are so overcast and gloomy. In addition to the fact that we have incurred a lot of new debt over the holidays. The human body by design needs to receive a certain amount of sunlight on a regular basis. It not only warms us up but also supplies us with a daily regiment of ultra violet rays which contain vitamin d. It's purely psychological but we unconsciously find ourselves feeling depressed in the winter do to lack of this natural element. So what are we to do? Here's a list of ten things you can do to remedy the winter time blues. 1. When the weather allows get outside to take in some fresh air especially if the sun is out. 2.
