The great divide






So many divide us instead of unit us now a days. From elections to police and the community and even a our troops and people. I remember a day when while yes most had there strong beliefs and disagreed based on their world views it was never this bad so my next few works will be to write about these divides and preach about uniting us all. For Jesus was right when he said a house divided against itself it cannot stand and yes the same goes for nations as well.

First thing I am going to take on is politics. I am not going to make it a secret I am a Republican been one for a while and for the reason that I love the starts of the party and more like the early ideas of the  party than what it is now. That being said both parties have lost their souls somewhere between when I started voting and now. They used to see each other as human beings now all the parties in this country see each other as the enemy. When I look at a democrat I don't see an enemy just someone with different views than me. I have friends on both sides and as long as you treat me with respect. I will treat you with the same. We forgotten who we are. we used to be able to come together at a moments notice like the day after 9/11 but now the parties cant even agree on a budget.    

The divide became real to me when a long time friend of knew him since high school just blocked me and refused to speak to me since I did not support Sanders. I never had a problem with his views even tho I did disagree with him. Never brought him down for it but as the election went on you could tell his hate for anyone who disagreed with him grew. To the point were he called me a rich 1%er who did not care for the poor. And you can see this type of hate growing on both sides. another rift happened in my own family between my aunt and uncle. My aunt Trump supporter an my uncle hates every party and takes points from both sides of the isle but cant see other opinions. They ended up offending each other and blocking each other on Facebook. Then took this fight to our family get together and both refused to show up. I did not go myself because I was out of town but when I heard this happened I wanted to cry for we are such a close family and it is stupid to rip each other apart over politics.

God is punishing us for this all you have to do is look at this election. I never saw two of the most corrupt scandal filled most hated people in this country becoming our picks this year. These two where picked because both parties just want to rip into each other. Why I been staying out of this race. I refuse to be apart of the problem. because no matter who gets in we all lose. We put our faith in man and woman but lost site of God with all of this fighting. In the end none of this is going to matter because one day Jesus is coming to rule and do so perfectly. While no matter who wins we are going to lose freedom but their is one who will give it back to us, He is not a Republican Democrat or even Libertarian but God in the flesh. The one who died for all of us despite political beliefs all we have to do is pick up our cross and follow him. so I refuse to follow Trump or Hillary because Christ is the only way and the only one I will call leader. Never forget these words for our enemy is not human.



Ephesians 6:12

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

The church of the Pharisees






I know it has been almost a year since I did this but a lot of things came up and a ton of personal stuggles in my own life. But now I am back and my first subject that I wanted to tackle is The church of the Pharisees. It is a label that I made up but many have seen the members of the church of the Pharisees in their own church. It is the people who look down on outsiders. Thinking those people outside the church don't belong. They even look down on people who reach out to those people thinking that just because they are being friendly to said people they are no better than they are. They would even go as far as turning their backs on one time friends or family simply because they don't hangout with all the right people in their eyes or even doing things that they find below them. 


I have to say that these people live outside of the will of God for it is our jobs and our duties to be out there among the lost preaching his word and doing these very things that they look down on. I know many are asking how do I know this? I am not God. while others stopped reading right there simply because it does not fit their world view. How do I know this. It is because Jesus himself did these things and their where people like today calling him out for hanging out with tax collectors and ladies of the night. They would even call him an angent of Satan and they are the reason he was put on the cross to begin with. Why because Jesus was not one of their in guys. Always hanging out with those outsiders those sinners and was performing even miricles they did not understand so they called it satan worship and dismissed him. Jesus told us what this type of thinking leads people.


And while all the people were listening, He said to the disciples, "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love respectful greetings in the market places, and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets, who devour widows' houses, and for appearance's sake offer long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation."

Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples, saying: "The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses; therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them.
"They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger. "But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments. "They love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues, and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called Rabbi by men. "But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. "Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. "Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ. "But the greatest among you shall be your servant. "Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. ["Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation.] "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. "Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple is obligated.' "You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold? "And, 'Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing, but whoever swears by the offering on it, he is obligated.' "You blind men, which is more important, the offering, or the altar that sanctifies the offering? "Therefore, whoever swears by the altar, swears both by the altar and by everything on it. "And whoever swears by the temple, swears both by the temple and by Him who dwells within it. "And whoever swears by heaven, swears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others. "You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence. "You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. "So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, and say, 'If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.' "So you testify against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. "Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers. "You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell? "Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city, so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. "Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
Now when He had spoken, a Pharisee asked Him to have lunch with him; and He went in, and reclined at the table. When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that He had not first ceremonially washed before the meal. But the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the platter; but inside of you, you are full of robbery and wickedness.
"You foolish ones, did not He who made the outside make the inside also? "But give that which is within as charity, and then all things are clean for you. "But woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithe of mint and rue and every kind of garden herb, and yet disregard justice and the love of God; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others. "Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the respectful greetings in the market places. "Woe to you! For you are like concealed tombs, and the people who walk over them are unaware of it." One of the lawyers said to Him in reply, "Teacher, when You say this, You insult us too." But He said, "Woe to you lawyers as well! For you weigh men down with burdens hard to bear, while you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers. "Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and it was your fathers who killed them. "So you are witnesses and approve the deeds of your fathers; because it was they who killed them, and you build their tombs. "For this reason also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and some they will persecute, so that the blood of all the prophets, shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against this generation.' "Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves did not enter, and you hindered those who were entering."       
So now I come to this conculson if this way of thinking was right why did not Jesus join the Pharisee? Jesus came to call the very people these people who judge others. If we are ment to follow Christ own footsteps and if Christ like is our true goal then these group of Christians are not followers of Christ at all but followers of the Pharisee. Jesus' enemy. Jesus himself said in Mark 2:17 "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."  
And in the end the self righteous will be the ones calling out lord lord do you not know us and Jesus will be like I don't even know who you are while others where doing my work you where tirying to prevent it. because like my favorite theologian once said. 

 “Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating. By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.”

9/11





I look back on this day and remember when our teacher turned on the tv and we watch one of the towers smoking then the other tower get hit. We could make out people jumping to there deaths on our little screen and all of us where scared angry and all wonder why. Why did so many have to die at their jobs. Whether it was the stock broker or the business man. Whether it was the firefighter or cop who was just answering the call to save fellow Americans. A good friend of mine lost his wife on that day and never remarried. Many lost there loved ones there family friends and husbands and wives. All because crazy people thought it was God's calling to murder thousands of people for their cause of power hungry greed but many forget how we where the day after.

    We where not just Republican Democrat black or white gay strait man woman Jew Christian or Muslim. The day after we where We the people. Back then what I was seeing was unity love and a sense of duty to the founding principles of this nation that many people from many backgrounds could stand as one. We could be brothers and sisters united in our love of our nation. Now look at us 14 years from then. Have we forgotten what it means to share this country? Have we forgotten the love? I see neighbor going after neighbor over things that truly mean nothing.  We seen the unity now we see division and political points. When we seen love for one another now we see racist pop up in every race trying to wipe the other races out or make them pay. Have we forgotten who we are in 14 years?   Is it going to take another thousand deaths in this country for us to be whole again? I pray not in fact I think we can push past the division and become united again all we have to do is dropped the egos and let love rule in our hearts again. And flush out the darkness and evil out of our hearts at the same time.

Racist Cults the KKK


                 Well since everything that has happened in the past week. I figured I  would go after these clowns. They claim to be Christian but far from it. In fact they reject Christ every time the light a cross on fire or put a hood on or every time the light a cross on fire and the sad thing is none of them understand they are being lied to. The very fact they hide behind hoods proves they are not of Christ for Jesus himself said in John 3:20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. They hide their faces for they know the do wrong. They know that their creed is nothing but lies. Now for their cross burning rite. 


      They claim that this is suppose to represent Christ light in the world but in reality they are rejecting cross of salvation. Think about it do you burn the thing you respect? Do you soak it in gasoline light it on fire in the sign of love of that thing? No when you burn something you show you reject that object that you burn. That means every time a KKK member lights a cross they reject the cross and Jesus Christ salvation. 

        Then there is the murder rape and beatings of other races. Where does Jesus say only white people have right? Where did Jesus say make slaves of all Nations? Where does Christ say hate of other races is okay? Where does he say beat your enemies for being a different religion creed or race? You point out the fact Jesus is a Arab Jew born and raised in the middle east. So looking at that if Jesus came to earth these so called followers of his in the KKK would most likely kill him by hanging him in a tree for the world to see because he is an Arab Jew by birth. Paul even said it here that such racism is evil and points to the fact we all in the body of Christ come from different races and nationalities. 

Galatians 3:28

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.

Do you want to see what a real body of Christ looks like? Watch the video and ask yourselves which is the true follower of Jesus Christ. The people who reject the cross other people because of skin color or this where people of all races come together to help a church deal with grief of losing there pastor and eight others because a racist punk decided to shoot people in the head because they where black.

Ladies ans Gentlemen the true movement of Jesus Christ in this video.

My Story

                                                                                                                                                                 
 I wanted to tell my story about my journey to Jesus and why I came to him and at the end of this I am going to invite my readers to tell there stories as well. You can request to keep your name a secret. Why I am doing this is to show that there are millions of people who left there old life to come to the Lord and sometimes it is the normal guy you see in church or working that has a great story behind there lives.

           Well I guess where I start is were I lost my faith. When I was fourteen I was just hanging out in the backyard with my friend messing with a telescope that I got for my birthday. I live in a rural area farmland. We saw this dust kick up in a neighbor's field a lot of dust. My friend turned his telescope over to see an four door jeep on it's roof. We ran into the house told my father than ran for it a crossed the field as fast as we could run. We get there hard rock was blasting out of the jeep and about ten feet there is this guy laying there in the dirt. We did not know it at the time but he was already dead. We tried to get our neighbor's close by but nothing when we can back my other  neighbor who used to be a medic in the army. He checked his pulse and he told us to back away. Later to find out from my mother told me that he was getting married to one of her coworkers and he was running late to the wedding rehearsal. This is when I became an atheist. I wonder if God did nothing to save this guy then he must not be real.

          School was bad for me. There was never a day where I did not get bullied and dealing with the guilt of not saving the man. I lost my way got into things I should not have. Chased away everyone who cared for me. By the time I graduated I only had one friend for some reason stood by me. He offered me a job in Maryland at his father's shop. Fixing up cars and selling them. I get there we got placed in a trailer next to the shop. No power to the place or even running water then to find out I was not getting paid and no way to get home for two months I fell into a real dark place. Until one night I wanted to take my own life. I was sitting in the dark crying my eyes out. For some reason I cried out to God. just screaming God help me. A light washed over me and looked up to see this figure in the doorway. dressed in a rob with a hood. I went from great sadness to terror as I looked at this being. It moved into the room. It did not walk but floated in. came right up to the side of my bed. then the light shut off and felt a wave a peace fall over me. No longer did I feel sad. No longer did I stand there in confusion. I knew what needed to be done.

     Few months later I moved back to Pennsylvania. Where a neighbor much younger than me called me up and asked if I wanted to go to church so I did because I was looking for answers at that point later that day I started following Christ and a few months I got baptized. I only told a select few people about this but I wanted to share with the world so that people who may had a life like mine or worse knows God is there to help. I do not care if anyone believes me I know what I saw and know how I feel. And I do not regret these things happen to me for I would not be the guy I am today if it was not for those years.

       Now for the invitation. I invite anyone reading this to tell there story and like I said before you do not even have to use your real name. Just email us here at godstruth25@yahoo.com and tell us your story and we will post it on here as is.
