Boy it's been a month I can't believe it. I have come to a conclusion while checking my e-mail. You know you are getting old when you receive e-mail from aarp. I guess they start early! Also the e-mail junk I get is unbelievable. I wounder what we ever did with out e-mail. Those who know me know me and technology are very close. Growing up in a home that didn't have a color TV until some one gave us one I wounder how I got so addicted.
Technology is I believe an addiction. The proof is all around me. Lets see first the cell phone most of us carry, the three laptops, desktop, three printers, cordless phone, stereo and so many more I would bore you listing them. Where does it all come from? We collect any thing we call a convenience. No where in our home is safe. Even the bathroom has electric trimmers to radios. Where did we discover that we couldn't even take a shower without some thing doing something.
Now know this I ain't saying we should get rid of technology I am just wondering how we got so tied to it. Even our cars have gotten smarter then there drivers. I know that ain't saying much but that is another blog. What I would like to see is people would like to not use all the cell phones and e-mail for a week. I don't believe they would last. I know I wouldn't make it one day. My question is can you.
Well enough of that. As a pastor of a church some strange things come my way but this one takes the cake. I have a member that is 95 and for the record that is why I can laugh at this. She said she is not going to dye because the Lord will come back before that happens. Now you can say that is faith but at the same time she is making arrangements for her funeral. Where is her faith? Also she said it couldn't be at the church to which she has been a member since the 40's because there would not be enough parking. Know we are somewhat limited in parking but not that bad.
When do we as Christians become so conceded? Well apparently its in our 90's. If it had been 30 years ago she would have been the first to correct herself. Now she is one reason the Church is not growing and don't even know it. I found out that growth is not what the church wants its financial stability. They have there priorities backwards. If they would worry about growth the rest would take care of its self.
The church this this time as a hole cant see past its own nose. They say they want growth but refuse to do anything for it. I wounder I that is what the Lord seen when he said in the word there would be a great falling away.
Possibly we need to start doing what we say we believe and quit doing what we say we can not allow.

4th of July
Wow we survived an in law gathering on a holiday! Ain't God good! I shouldn't say that God is Great!
We have had a lot of concerns lately about Christians giving in. I would Like to focus on that in this blog even though the family usually gives such good topics.
You know i believe that we have slipped and allowed the world to take control over us. If you didn't you need to read a few of my previous blogs. When we bow to this control I believe we disobey the world, After all we are to be a separate people not a conforming people. We worry to much about the numbers on the roll then the souls for the Kingdom of God.
We need to think more along the lines of what would Jesus say if we where to ask him about homo sexuality, murder, lying etc. Oh wait we don't need to its in the word! Not that watered down junk they call translation I mean the word of God as it is in the KJV! Don't like that statement? Praise God! You may find I don't care I ain't out to please you I am out to please God!
You know when you allow the world to dictate how you believe I can only tell you this. You can not serve to masters you will love one and hate the other. Be careful and know who you serve. For me and my house we serve the Lord.
We need to see where this path is taking us I'll tell you the Lake of fire. You worker of iniquity depart from me for I never new you. If you don't know where I got that Fraze let me know I'll pray for you.
If you agree great do something about it! As always we are praying for the will of God on our lives and yours!
God Bless!
