Problem Solving pt.1

After discussing the state of well being in which our society is in (mainly the the younger branch) I began pondering on what was the number one issue that is plaguing our nation. "

Problem solving is one of my strengths that I thank God for always. The main reason I love science so much is the fact that one can use their God given talents to discover things that maybe unseen to the average person through certain methods and eliminating processes (otherwise known as problem solving.)

I remember a line in a movie that went "If you want the right answer you must first ask the right question," man can you say WOW backwards. So with this in mind I began to further ponder on this plague and ask questions to lead me in the direction of the root of the problem.

Once I narrowed the problem down to this point so many other avenues of, "how did we get to this point" began to arise and it was some what difficult to hone in on one thing but here it is.

Number one on my list was the utter disrespect and lack of regard most people have towards God. My Pastor said this today and I find it to be extremely true, " If you understand your righteous position and what sacrifice was made for you to obtain it then you wouldn't want to do anything to displease God the Father.

So often my wife and I deal with college age kids battling with their flesh (typical at this age) that fall into a stage of rebellion because of the guilt from sins they committed. At this point all we do is help them understand who God is and present a better picture of what love and respect toward our Father really entails.

This is a very difficult task to take on when they majority of students we deal with come from broken homes. The reason I say this is, God designed the family structure to be a symbol of His greatness and to resemble the order in Heaven and the most attacked structure in the world is the family. It is very difficult to respect a father you don't see when you don't have a chance to practice with one you can see.

I strongly believe if we fix the family structure one at a time that we will eliminate a huge amount of non-sense infecting our world and only God can help us with this task.

Galileo "Science vs. God"

Galileo, was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. I recently viewed a documentary outlining some major events in Galileo's life and noticed some interesting details pertaining to science vs. God.

Galileo was not out to disprove the word of God or the existence of God through science (which means "The intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.") but rather utilizing the gifts that God endowed him to discover the errors in history like the Sun rotated around the earth. Now this maybe a grain of rice to some people but to the church officials during that era it was considered a dangerous heresy.

One might say why do you say that, well for instance the story of Joshua (funny because before going to Church I watched this documentary and during service my Pastor mentioned this story...LOL) commanding the Sun to stand still (Joshua 10:12) and Hezekiah with the Sun going backwards (2Kings 20:9-11) would claim that the scripture would be lying. I wouldn't say lying but sheer misinterpretation that's all.

We now know that Galileo was right in stating that the Earth rotates around the Sun but what we fail to realize is Galileo's passion for God. Yes he drank to much and was a bit arrogant and not to mention a man with 3 illegitimate children but he who is with out sin cast the first brick.

Minds like this during his time were threatened with death by fire and other forms of torture leading to death. Today isn't quite the same with all of the torture and stuff but what does happen to clear Spirit Lead thinkers is alienation.

I believe that God is always speaking and revealing things to those who are busy about the "Kingdoms Business" and not their own. Lets make one thing very clear, I believe in science but I do not believe in science that discredits God.

Science was granted to us for the understanding of the world we live in and not to understand the One who created it. ( though you can learn a lot about a creator by studying their creation)

God gave us these eyes to observe things and this brain to understand what we observe. This is why non Spirit Lead intellectuals always run into a snag because they are trying to make sense of something infinite through something that is finite (NOT SMART).

I pray that one day we all can be at peace with one another and eradicate all indifference's but I guess at the rate we are going the only hope is in the day of the great return of our Lord and Savior.

The Right Workout

There are a plethora of benefits in working out the physical body. In spite of the pain that must be endured to get to that place of strength or fitness desired by the individual, we can all admit that the long term rewards supercede this weakness that is simply leaving our body (definition of pain). An increase in energy, our ability to think creatively heightens and the fact of knowing you are on the right track health wise makes it all worthwhile. In essence, exercising has been proven in more ways than one to increase the longevitity of the human lifespan.

This is what we all desire. To live a long life free of health complications. It is our responsiblity to be stewards over our physical body as it is the temple in which the Spirit of God dwells (1 Cor 6:19). Too often, more emphasis is placed on "getting fit" physically and looking "good" that it is easy to forget the real "muscle" that should be exercised more readily. 1 Timothy 4:8 reminds us, "For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come." Working out should not be diminished altogether but should always be kept in perspective.

A healthy balance is the key to life. How do we exercise godliness then? First, being godly and then doing it. You have to be before you can do. Studying the Word, meditating on it and asking God to take away things that are not like Him and to make you more like Him is the initial step to becoming godly. Once this is who you have become, the doing part is easy because that's all you know to do.

Becoming godly is essential because the godly is who God is preserving to be used by Him. God does not necessarily need the physical strength of a person to show Himself mighty through. In fact, He tends to use the exact opposite. Selah (pause and think on this).

"We are always spreading the gospel, if we have to, use words."

"The Adult Children of Our Government"

Lets join our efforts in a unified prayer for the childishness to stop in every facet of our government. The word of God does say to pray for those who are in authority (government) over us and I know God is not pleased with the way we have governed ourselves thus far. So, lets stop the immature complaining and cut throat blame games and commence praying. I will start and you add whatever God leads you to pray:

Our Father in Heaven how great you are, I pray that the order and structure that you promised us in your word comes to pass. Lord we desperately depend on you and your involvement in these earthly affairs such as government. Lord I pray that you turn the hearts of everyone with the power to make decisions on behalf of your people toward you and your plan. Lord help us to see past each others faults and rid us of selfishness and greed. Please help us to glorify you with our unity. Please remind everyone that we are all human first and everything else such as social class and political preference only promotes division. Lord help our leaders back to a lifestyle of prayer and communion with you before any decisions are made. Please restore our vision and spiritual relish towards peace. Let it be on earth as it is in Heaven, Amen...
