Spring and the dirt

Well I'm glad its spring. Not that I have any real hatred for winter , I love watching snow fall but this year has seemed long. I look forward to the warmer weather and the lack of extra clothing. That being said , early spring is pretty gross. As I was driving around today you could notice all the mess and garbage that is under the snow.
This is how the Bible depicts us apart from the blood of Christ , filthy rags , sinners to the core . We all like to put on a facade but when we are laid low by the holiness of God , we see just how depraved we are . That is why the cross of Christ is such a precious thing , when Jesus took all my sin , all my evil and excepted the bitter cup of the Father's wrath against sin , my sin , and through the spotless lamb of God , I'm washed whiter than snow! The gospel is a new beginning and one this sinner needs everyday.

Missing in Action ...

It has been a while since my last entry. I will keep this one brief and just say that not much has happened but I'm officially looking for new work . Trying to be diligent in taking a new path . Easter is fast approaching and have started looking at the cross of Christ , humbling and convicting . More on that later .

Looking and Seeking ...

Well I will shortly be looking for a new job , again. Many people think I'm crazy but you know , I really don't care . I have spent my whole life playing it safe , living in fear of change and I will not do that anymore. Life is a crazy adventure but if its anchored in God , we have hope that cannot be taken away . Stay tuned ....

Party Like Its 1999 ,,,,,

So it seems that recently a group of atheist have paid for signs to be posted saying , "There is probably no God , now stop worrying and enjoy your life". But I ask what constitutes enjoying ones life? So if I'm poor and need money to enjoy my life and since there is no God to worry about any judgment to come , can I rob and steal my way to riches. So what if society catches me and wants to put me in jail , well I will just off myself since I'm nothing more than advanced slime and those rules about stealing are borrowed anyway form a ancient book written by a superstitious people. Atheist like to borrow from religion the good "rules" so to speak but if there is no God and we are driven by nothing more then our genetic code , then its damn the torpedoes,its anything goes.
But there is a God and as Psalm 14:1 tells us ,"The fool says in his heart,"There is no God"... Its not that they are fools in the sense they are stupid but that they contemplate that no God exists that cares about the affairs of humans.Man in his normal state hates God and suppresses the truth of God as Romans chapter 1 declares. Man will be without excuse because all around us we see the beauty and majesty of His power.But loving our sin more then the glory of our creator we follow the path began by Adam in open rebellion against a holy God. One day all atheist will be bow before their creator when either death claims them or Christ comes again and that their unbelief which is sin , will condemn them to hell. My prayer for those who mock God and deny Him is that the Holy Spirit will lead them to repentance and reveal the one who is the truth , Jesus Christ. So do worry because apart from Christ you will die in your sins and are in the hands of an angry God .

Quick Take ......

Its funny how things change . The band Kiss is playing the commons in Halifax this year and growing up I would have given my eye teeth to see them. But time and changes in my life have rendered any allure of the sight of seeing aging "rock" stars in spandex a sight I would rather not see. Plus having an almost 60 year old guy sing Christine Sixteen is just creepy and wrong on so many levels. So I will be skipping the spectacle of men in tights that is for sure.

March for Life 2009

"For you formed my inward parts;you knitted me together in my mother's womb.I praise you,for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.Wonderful are your works;my soul knows it very well" Psalm 139 verses 14-15.

Today is March for life in the US. It is also the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. Abortion is one of the most insidious evil's that continues to grow in our times.When I have had the chance to talk to people who support the the right for a women to kill their unborn child, most have never really looked into the issue or took the time to look at the facts . The first time I saw a aborted baby at only 14 weeks or so old I was sickened by how brutal and sick the sight of this little one ripped apart before my eyes. May we pray that God will bring repentance and healing concerning this brutal practice . May we take a moment to fathom the fact that in the US 1.2 million a year are murdered and in Canada over 100000 .
The only hope is the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are all sinners and it is at the foot of the cross all things can be made new and healed .

Earthly Messiah's and Mind Numbing Excess...

So the new "messiah" has been placed in the seat of power . The collective world seems like a teenage girl , swooning over a rock star or movie idol.Now that is not President Obama's fault, but when you listen to his words , his rhetoric has a prophetic element to them and plays to the masses . It is almost nauseating to watch this "man worship" by celebrities and the common . Needless to say I have stayed away from every T.V program that has anything to do with this over blown excessive spectacle.
The fact that this whole affair is costing up to 170 million is gross and disgusting. It seems to me the media was all up in arms when President Bush spent 50 million . I wonder if it will even mention this fact and apply the same critical nature that it poured out on Bush. I doubt it very much .
The bottom line for me is the new President stands for and wants to promote policies that clearly contradict God's word by promoting gay marriage, to the evil of our age , abortion . My prayer for the President is God would bring about repentance and the true gospel of Christ would become a reality in his life.
I do pray for protection for him and his family and he will govern well.But on the matters mentioned above , I hope he fails miserable.
