The Enemy's Strategy
The enemy- devil- is trying to get people to be depressed, focused on the wrong things, and or suicidal so we do not use our gifts and talents to honor and love Him and people. With God let's keep loving Him and people and trusting Him. In the process we will defy the devil. *** This insight happened because I have been sick this week and my heart has felt sick and sad over various things, but God is in me and overcoming. Whew. =)
Insight
This insight is long; it sure did bless me and hopefully you. http://gbcbyouth.wordpress.com/2007/02/28/james-513-18/ .

Importance of Examining Yourself before Communion
Hey,
This scripture is clear that we ought to take time to examine ourselves and repent before we take Communion. What do you think?
1 Corinthians 11:23-32
23For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
27Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
31For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
32But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. (KJV)

Scripture and Discernment
1 John 1:6-7 "If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His son cleanses us from all sin."
Some people who call themselves Christians are supporting a President that uses taxes to fund abortions and wants to enlarge government run healthcare which would pay for abortions and unconscionable drugs like the morning after pill. The US government is not doing a good enough job with public schools. Why would a "Christian" in the US want to give the government more power?

Why to not worry or freak
Why worry or freak? If you know Jesus as Lord and Savior, then you can trust God and pray about anything with assurance. He'll guide you and put on your heart what to do and everything else He will cover. When we pray about it He covers it as well in just the right way. We do not see the big picture and people are not robots so the solutions are not as pretty or nice as we would like; but the fact always remains that God has it covered and justice will ultimately prevail. Ahhhh! That is better than Calgon. It is the rest of God balanced with us working on what He leads us to do.

Socialism Analogy
An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a single student before but had, once, failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said ok, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism.
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A. After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too; so they studied little.. The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame, name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great; but when government takes all the reward away; no one will try or want to succeed.
Could not be any simpler than that…

Lower Credit Card Interest Rates
Yesterday on the news a lady said that 75% of people who ask for a lower rate on their credit cards get it. She said a part of the reason for this is that credit card companies realize you could transfer the balances and pay a lower interest. People can pay their debt and stay out of it. Take action! =)
