Month: May 2012

I’ve spent much of my time in the past muddling through the internet reading articles about the evils of this world. It’s as if news today thrives on the odd and the evil. Yes, there is the occasional story of something good in the world, but it’s typically filled with the trolls of the internet going at it in the comments below.

Philippians 4:8 says “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” 


At one time, I did enjoy reading the news articles that tended to be very exploiting. But over time I’ve grown to see the emptiness. I much more enjoy talking to a child about how his day went. Listening to the story of how the cat did some hilarious thing. How someone closed a big contract. So much of life is already tough. The long hours working, the constant problems with our cars, relationship difficulties, angry people at Walmart, and many others. Instead of wasting much of our day on these other evils, let’s spend more of our day looking at the beauty of God and His work in our lives and our friends’ lives. Sin is not beautiful, it’s something we have to deal with in our daily lives, not something we sit around admiring on our computer screens. >_<

A few months back I was watching a late night tv show and the host accidentally called the baby in a mother’s womb a baby! o.0 He quickly corrected himself and said fetus. He had to make sure everyone knew it was just a piece of worthless flesh until that magical moment when baby transferred from inside mom to outside of mom. Honestly, it’s moronic. Some people try very hard to save their 7-8 month old precious baby and others kill them. What separated the two children? Nothing. Except one’s mother hated them and the other did not.

Our culture does not want to admit they are addicted to selfishness. They get angry at Casey Anthony for allegedly killing her daughter, but justify themselves in destroying their babies that just haven’t popped out of mom yet. A mom that kills their child when they’re two versus three months old in the womb are both extraordinarily selfish and guilty of the same crime.

When a baby in the womb of a mother is killed, you are destroying those beautiful eyes that would look out at the world in wonder and slowly grow older and eventually look down at their young children and grandchildren someday. The ears that would hear a mother’s tender loving voice, that would hear the birds chirping in the mornings, and the words that would Lord willing be brought to him/her about Christ and His beautiful salvation. The mouth will never say words like “I love you mama.” There will never be a child’s little laugh echoing through your house.

Abortion can’t go on if we want a culture that will survive. It’s training a culture that doesn’t love life. Many theologies I’ve been seeing arise on the internet world are very pessimistic and nihilistic. We’re hardened by the gore we watch on tv, the birth control ads on tv, and the abortions that happen all around us, and we don’t have the soft hearts towards children that we once did.

Thankfully God does provide healing and forgiveness. And that’s why we can look hopefully one day to being able to taste the food on our Lord’s table after we die. But we can’t just stand by and watch children being offered on the altar of selfishness. It’s just like the Mayans who brought their children to be sacrificed, we just serve a different god, ourselves.

The recent question that many people are asking is, “Is college worth it?” I’ve read plenty of news articles about the most worthless degrees, why college is the most overpriced product on the market, some homeschool books about it, etc. And I think there are plenty of good arguments on both sides. But here’s my take on it. It’s not quite long enough for a book, so I’ll just post it here. :-/

You need to work. If you do not have the ability to make enough money and work your bum off without a college degree, then go get one. If you’re sitting around your house not learning and not working, go to college. Hopefully that will be a big enough kick in the pants to get you started in life.

The End ^_^

Do you enjoy God? Do you enjoy worshipping Him on Sunday? Do you get excited about church? Do you get excited about the daily worship you have in His Word? Does God make you excited? Does His law make you excited?

I don’t think being excited is about jumping up and down and screaming. But looking forward in anticipation to it may be one working out of your excitement. Instead of wondering what you’re going to do Sunday afternoon, you look forward to the worship would be one instance.

Our spiritual lives are very important. We spend a whole lot of time working out, working so we can provide ourselves good vacations/nice house/etc. Shouldn’t our eternal life be thought of as even more important? Does your love for God work out in your daily life?
