Where is the World going?

Where is the World going?

On the news today, it is now legal to give the finger to someone in a town in the state of Missouri. A bad case of road rage took two men to court where one of the men who gave the other the hi sign was to be fined. So, he fought it and one! He argued that it was his right to free speech.

What is next? It is frowned upon to say as a Christian Merry Christmas, Other are trying to remove anything that says God. So let me guess it will be legal to spit on someone? Or to beat up your spouse? Or to rob someone? To cheat on your spouse? Is this all a part of expressing oneself? Give me a break! There is no one respect for others out there. We need to STOP this and take back our values.

Here are some great rules to follow in life:

The Ten Commandments

1. You shall have no other Gods but me.
2. You shall not make for yourself any idol, nor bow down to it or worship it.
3. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.
4. You shall remember and keep the Sabbath day holy.
5. Respect your father and mother.
6. You must not kill.
7. You must not commit adultery.
8. You must not steal.
9. You must not give false evidence against your neighbor.
10. You must not be envious of your neighbor's goods. You shall not be envious of his house nor his wife, nor anything that belongs to your neighbor.

Have a Blessed Day,

Being on Guard.....

Hello Everyone,

      I was on the road today, and  as I was driving I was listening to the radio. Well on the norm I don't usually listen to rap but for some reason I let it on. The reason I bring this up is that in this rap song the artist was so disrespectful to women. I have heard many other song we listen to each day and I am shocked at the message they put out. Not only as adults but our children.

We know what we eat builds our bodies or destroys our bodies. It is simple, what we take in feeds us. If you eat all fats and sugars then your bodies will become ill but if we eat good wholesome foods we become strong. The same can be said for what we watch or listen to. Listening to songs about disrespecting women, Cop killing, sex, hurting others..is not what we should be feeding our minds. There is a wonderful singing artist that I love her music. Beyonce is an outstanding artist but when you listen to one of her songs that is on the radio now it may make you think. The song is called "Put A Ring On it."  A friend of mine's daughter who was 11 years old sand it in the house when I stopped over. What are trying to teach our children? Same with many movies and video games out there are filling our minds with trash making us inside sick and hardened to life. There is a video game out there called "Grand Theft Auto" which gives you points for stealing a car and even has a part where you may kill a cop. WOW.....

Is this what we want to teach our children? Is this what we want to fill our hearts and minds with? During this season of Lent lets us give us many of these hurtful things and fill our hearts, minds and souls with things that will fulfill us. God has given us so many wonderful things to experience in life but many just want to play video games, watch porn, do drugs, disrespect others, etc.... Don't let the enemy win.... Fill your life with love, hope and light not darkness, hate, and death.

Have a Blessed Day....

Lent Season

Today is Ash Wednesday which is the start of the Lent Season. Ash Wednesday is the first day of  Lent and occurs 46 days before Easter.

The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and  Luke,  Jesus spent 40 days fasting in the desert before the beginning of his public ministry during which he endured temptation by Satan. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of this 40-day liturgical period of prayer and fasting.

Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of adherents as a sign of mourning and repentance to God. The ashes used are typically gathered after the palms from the previous year's Palm Sunday are burned.

So to make it easy, this is a time of prayer, fasting and many give up things during this time. Things like bad habbits, certin foods, etc.... It starts with goes to church today and having the Clergy place black ashes on your forhead in the sign of a cross. No, don't wash them off until the end of the day. Make a commitment to God in doing the right thing during this season... You will feel wonderfil and fulfilled.

Have a Blessed day.

Time to Prepare

Hello Everyone,

  I was watching the news and it never brings a smile any longer. Christian across the world are being killed due to our faith. Iran and now Egypt are being over run with hate and looking to destroy Israel and the US. Are these the end times? Maybe and maybe not. Only God knows this time. Bur as Christians we can make a difference for our children.  If you agree or don't agree on war, support our troops as each one is a Father, Mother, Brother or Sister to someone. Second, teach your children not to hate those who are not of our faith, Prepare your family in case of emergency and stock up on food, water and other supplies.

www.stfrancisloc.com/PrepareNow.html

Most of all place your faith in God. Pray for guidance for our Government and also for protection of Israel who is surrounded by their enemies. What are these countries like Iran thinking? The fate of the World and their and our children are on the line.

These countries who wish to destroy  men, women and children are being led by Satan himself. Even in our country Satan is in control of a lot of things.... We see it with the lack of faith, no one going to church, our children listening to things that tell them that there is no God, disrespect to mothers and fathers by their children, etc, etc...

The time is here where we need to turn things around.... Place God first, drive Satan away from our families and our lives........... It starts with all of us first.

God Bless,

Pastor Ken

    

Our New Gang! Join

Hello Everyone,

I was listening to a local radio station and when I heard it was a rap song I was about to change the station but decided to listen to it. I really have to say that it is a shame that I did. The rapper who is a very big name did nothing but trash women and the image to keep it clean was that women were to be treated as trash and they were to be used.

We are all made by our environments. If we are around people that treat women bad, well guess what many will do the same.  If you hang around gang members you will have a good chance to be one. 

LISTEN to this; Be different, Be respectful, Be honest, Be a loving Husband/Wife, Be a person to count on.

Many like joining a gang.....Being gangster is what they want. Well I have the largest gang that I am a member of. We wear our colors proud and our gang sign is know all over the World. Think you can join? Are you tough enough?

Our Name: CHRISTIANS

Our Colors: WHITE (God's Pure Love)
Who can Join: EVERYONE

It does not matter what color or race you are, where you were born, where you live, what language you speak nor how old you are. Go to your local church and speak to the Pastor he/she would love to accept you into our gang.

If you are in a group that you want to leave and don't know how we will help you. YOU HAVE MY WORD.

May our Father's light fill you with love and peace.
