Equality & Justice – “All Lives Matter to GOD”

Image
Summary : All Lives Matter to GOD. Want proof? Refer to the Bible. We are all one. We all sin. Jesus died for us ALL, therefore all lives matter to GOD. Who is stirring up this racial division? Satan. All Lives Matter to GOD It doesn’t matter what I think about Black Lives Matter, racial tensions, or even the murders of innocent people, of any color. It only matters what God thinks. And, I want to see what God says about these issues. (All scriptures from the NIV and were taken from Biblegateway.com .) 28  There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free,  nor is there male and female,  for you are all one in Christ Jesus . – Galatians 3:28 9  What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage?  Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. – Romans 3:9 A Gentile was anyone who wasn’t a Jew. Therefore Jews and Gentiles means everyone. And the most important point is tha...

Ode to the Fathorn Green 69 Impala

Image
I was thinking back to my " glory days " earlier this week when I was talking to a young man who had just bought a new (used) Jeep. I was telling him how lucky he was to have such a nice ride and that he wouldn't know if the girls liked him or his ride. I was telling him about how it was to try to pick up chicks driving a puke green Chevrolet Impala 4 door. He didn't know what that was.  But today, we have the internet and Google - so, I was able to find a picture on the Chevrolet website . This is it folks. 1969 Chevrolet Impala - 4-Door Sedan - Fathom "Fathorn" Green Now, I know what you're thinking, sweet ride, right? Well mine didn't quite look that good. I got it in about 1976 and so it had a little wear on it from 7 years of my lead-footed Mama driving it. So, kids, next time you're thinking you have it rough having to drive Mom's old 4Runner or Dad's old BMW, think about the " glory days ." P.S. The joke abo...

Honduras Bolivia Mission Trip (Bayou La Batre, Alabama)

Image
6 Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Calatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. 7 When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. - Acts 16: 6-7 (NIV) Most of you may have heard already, but we weren't able to go to Honduras on our mission trip. A military coup in Honduras made it too dangerous to take 18 teens there. A last minute decision was made to make an alternative trip to Bayou La Batre, Alabama. This area was also hit hard by Hurricane Katrina but there wasn't as much attention given to rebuilding like in New Orleans. The Hemley Road Church in Bayou La Batre has been in existence since Hurricane Katrina. They purchased a flood damaged building from another church and have been working on it ever since. They have also coordinated a massive community outreach effort. This church is overseen by the El Campo Church ...
