When people tell me they can relate to the love and grace of the New (Second) Testament but reject the God of the Old (First) Testament Bible, I wonder how they would feel if someone were able to separate the left side of their body from their right side; cutting them right down the middle! If this seems gruesome and inconceivable, then imagine how Jesus must feel as he is described as, “. . .The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us.” John 1:14.

In a similar vein, I am often asked how I 'feel' about “Gay marriage.” My response is usually the same, “The Bible doesn't approve of it and neither do I.” (See Genesis 19 and Romans 1:24-32)
This usually produces a negative response from the questioner. My thought process is this; if a toddler were able to get their hands on a medical device that allowed them to reach inside your body and remove any organ they wanted, would you let them? If the answer is, “No,” then why should our response be any different? Are we greater than God? No, not even close! The Bible tells us, “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:9

If Jesus really is, “The word became flesh,” then who are we to try and remove the parts someone may deem as undesirable? As a Christian, we no longer run our lives based on our 'feelings' but on the word of God, The Holy Bible!
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes. . .” Romans 1:16

People have even told me that Jesus never said anything negative about gays or their lifestyle. My response is, “How do you know?” John 21:25 tells us, “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.”

Have you ever been near a homosexual and you just know they are gay? Maybe it's nothing overtly obvious, you just know? Scientists have recently discovered that trees secretly talk to each other underground using mycorrhizal fungi. “Scientists call the fungi the “Wood Wide Web” because ‘adult’ trees can share sugars to younger trees, sick trees can send their remaining resources back into the network for others, and they can communicate with each other about dangers like insect infestations.”

Scientists are just beginning to become familiar with the, “100 trillion microbes that call us [humans] home; collectively known as the microbiome.” Human beings have a microbial garden that surrounds them and lives inside them. What if our bodies are sending and receiving signals from the biosphere of other humans around us, similar to a tree fungi network? If, for example, someone has HIV or AIDS and their host body is dying, could their microbiome be trying to find a new host before it dies?

While scientists are still learning about everything that encompasses our physical existence, as Christians, we will not discount the non-physical part of life, the demonic spirits the bible warns us about in Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
​

The bible, in James 4:7, tells us to resist the devil so he'll flee from us. 1 Corinthians 5:6 says, “Sin is like “a little yeast spreads through the whole batch of dough.”
Because we trust Jesus as our savior, as Christians, we can trust the whole bible as the council of God. In God [all of God] we trust!

Math, The Universe and God

What's the Universe Made Of? Math, Says Scientist   
​
By Tanya Lewis, Staff Writer | January 30, 2014 08:50am ET
BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Scientists have long used mathematics to describe the physical properties of the universe. But what if the universe itself is math? That's what cosmologist Max Tegmark believes.
In Tegmark's view, everything in the universe — humans included — is part of a mathematical structure. All matter is made up of particles, which have properties such as charge and spin, but these properties are purely mathematical, he says. And space itself has properties such as dimensions, but is still ultimately a mathematical structure.
"If you accept the idea that both space itself, and all the stuff in space, have no properties at all except mathematical properties," then the idea that everything is mathematical "starts to sound a little bit less insane," Tegmark said in a talk given Jan. 15 here at The Bell House. The talk was based on his book "Our Mathematical Universe: My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality" (Knopf, 2014).
 Nature is full of mathThe idea follows the observation that nature is full of patterns, such as theFibonacci sequence, a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. The flowering of an artichoke follows this sequence, for example, with the distance between each petal and the next matching the ratio of the numbers in the sequence.
The nonliving worldalso behaves in a mathematical way. If you throw a baseball in the air, it follows a roughly parabolic trajectory. Planets and other astrophysical bodies follow elliptical orbits.
"There's an elegant simplicity and beauty in nature revealed by mathematical patterns and shapes, which our minds have been able to figure out," said Tegmark, who loves math so much he has framed pictures of famous equations in his living room.
One consequence of the mathematical nature of the universe is that scientists could in theory predict every observation or measurement in physics. Tegmark pointed out that mathematics predicted the existence of the planet Neptune, radio waves and the Higgs boson particle thought to explain how other particles get their mass.
Some people argue that math is just a tool invented by scientists to explain the natural world. But Tegmark contends the mathematical structure found in the natural world shows that math exists in reality, not just in the human mind.
And speaking of the human mind, could we use math to explain the brain?
Mathematics of consciousness
Some have described the human brain as the most complex structure in the universe. Indeed, the human mind has made possible all of the great leaps in understanding our world.
Someday, Tegmark said, scientists will probably be able to describe evenconsciousness using math. (Carl Sagan is quoted as having said, "the brain is a very big place, in a very small space.")
"Consciousness is probably the way information feels when it's being processed in certain, very complicated ways," Tegmark said. He pointed out that many great breakthroughs in physics have involved unifying two things once thought to be separate: energy and matter, space and time, electricity and magnetism. He said he suspects the mind, which is the feeling of a conscious self, will ultimately be unified with the body, which is a collection of moving particles.
But if the brain is just math, does that mean free will doesn't exist, because the movements of particles could be calculated using equations? Not necessarily, he said.
One way to think of it is, if a computer tried to simulate what a person will do, the computation would take at least the same amount of time as performing the action. So some people have suggested defining free will as an inability to predict what one is going to do before the event occurs.
But that doesn't mean humans are powerless. Tegmark concluded his talk with a call to action: "Humans have the power not only to understand our world, but to shape and improve it."

The Root of David

7/11/2018

0 Comments

 
In 2 Samuel 5 The elders came and anointed David as king over Israel.

In Revelation 5 a mighty angel is asking who is worthy to open the scroll? One of the elders said, “The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

David was a fighter before and after he became king. As a man after God's own heart, he kept loving, obeying and trusting God his whole life (except for Bathsheba).

Don't get discouraged if you are always in a battle!

CHANGING OF THE GUARD LESSON FOR TRUMP: DAVID'S ATTEMPT TO MAKE ISRAEL GREAT AGAIN Published: 11/21/2016 at 7:45 PM
Exclusive: Dan Cummins uses tipping-ox-cart story to warn president-electIn the nation’s capital, “personnel is policy,” and the success of Trump’s presidency is being determined right now with his selections for Cabinet appointments. Once the president takes the oath of office on Jan. 20 and the political hostilities begin, that old proverb, “When you’re up to your neck in alligators, it’s easy to forget that the goal was to drain the swamp,” explains why so many idealists who come to The Swamp abandon political principle for self-preservation.
In the dog-eat-dog construction world, Trump knows you’re only as good as your sub-contractors, and if he’s to conquer the take-no-prisoner political world in Trump-like manner, he’ll only be as successful as the character and steel of those Cabinet members he appoints.
If President Trump is to blast through bureaucratic barriers and part the regulatory skies as he’s done with his new Trump International Hotel – his five-star revitalization of the old Post Office, the most iconic symbol of the oldest of government institutions analogous of bureaucratic red tape – he must hire the most qualified subs.
One can only hope for such a Renaissance repeat of his “ahead-of-schedule and under-budget” miracle at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. Maybe his D.C. hotel billboard “Coming 2016 – TRUMP” was a prophetic handwriting on the wall or a sign of the times. “Even so, come, Donald Trump, come.”
David, the greatest king of Israel, experienced precisely what wrong cabinet appointments can produce at the beginning of an administration. He campaigned on the slogan “Make Israel Great Again” – and for David, and all of Israel, that meant restoring the Ark of Covenant, the repository of the Ten Commandments, back to its rightful place in government and the town square. You know, the Ark of the Covenant – the one Indiana Jones rescued from those evil Nazi socialists.
King David had the task of restoring the Ten Commandments, Israel’s Constitution, from 40 years of obscurity from the public arena, the result of the socialist redistribution policies of King Saul – the people’s king. (By the way, while researching the Hebrew text for this column, I discovered King Saul’s last name – “Alinsky.”)
But David’s first attempt to restore their Constitution to the center of public life and governmental policy ended in a deadly and disastrous debacle at the threshing floor of Chidon as his oxen stumbled and his cart tumbled (1 Chronicles 13:9).
If King David, a man after God’s own heart, the ultimate political outsider, failed at his first attempt to restore all that had made Israel the most exceptional nation on earth – the first nation to allow its free citizens to own private property and practice free trade in a capitalistic economy – can we expect any more from Trump than Israel did of David? After all, David was not the “lesser-of-two-evils.” Spiritually, he was “head-and-shoulders” above Saul.
David’s inaugural attempt to make the nation great again failed because of the advice he received from his cabinet appointees – which in this case were primarily the priests and elders (1 Chronicles 13:1-6). That’s right: The preachers gave the king bad advice – advice they would not have given had they been “well versed” in the Scriptures, advice that publicly embarrassed the king and cost one man, Uzzah, his life. And in the end, it was the politician, King David, that put the preachers in their place, enabling the nation to find its restored glory.
The answer to Israel’s restoration wasn’t, after all, politically correct policy but sanctified priestly prayer. This is always the lesson God is teaching the nation – prayer, not politics, is the answer. It will, in the end, be prayer and not policy that drains The Swamp!

MY PEOPLE                                         By: Melody Crombie         September 3, 2015

MY PEOPLE feel abandoned by the current ruling class in Washington DC! MY PEOPLE know they've been sold-out, ridiculed, abused, overlooked, shunned, betrayed, mocked, mislead and misunderstood by this deceitful, atheistic, greedy, authoritarian, militaristic, governmental regime.

In addition to being sold-out to the highest-bidding special interest groups, MY PEOPLE are being forced into a corner and told if they take the moral high-ground and express their rights, i.e., Freedom of Religion, they face stiff economic penalties and imprisonment. MY PEOPLE understand where this discrimination is headed. . .History is taking a playscript from the Rosa Parks bio and giving it a fresh, Orwellian-style make-over!

Our land is drying up, burning up and quickly dying (physically, economically and morally) right out from under our feet! MY PEOPLE know the root causes and solutions to the problems that currently plague the United States.

The Cause: “MY PEOPLE are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” Hosea 4:6. MY PEOPLE know if you ignore God and Godly Biblical values and make up your own rules, you are like the person who fails to read and understand the words; WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN DEATH, INJURY, OR SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY DAMAGE!

The Solution: “If MY PEOPLE, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

According to the Holy Bible, “MY PEOPLE,” refers to the people of God, namely Christians. From its inception, the United States was established as a Christian nation. Until recently, our nation has always identified as, “One Nation under God,” by its inhabitants and recognized as such by other countries around the globe. As America slides into an immoral abyss, as special interest groups promote rebellion against God, MY PEOPLE will stand firm on solid, Biblically based, Christian principals. These unchanging principals have guided our nation and MY PEOPLE through periods of great prosperity and terribly tumultuous times.

My prayer is that MY PEOPLE will continue to cling to God, the Bible and other true believers instead of suffering under the Evil, Doomed, Dark, PC Cloud; because MY PEOPLE, the Kim Davis' and Rosa Parks', the silent Moral Majority of the land, know when to sit, stand and ROAR!

How Google Could Rig the 2016 Election
Google has the ability to drive millions of votes to a candidate with no one the wiser.

By ROBERT EPSTEIN                                                                        August 19, 2015

Given Google’s strong ties to Democrats, there is reason to suspect that if Google or its employees intervene to favor their candidates, it will be to adjust the search algorithm to favor Hillary Clinton. In 2012, Google and its top executives donated more than $800,000 to Obama but only $37,000 to Romney. At least six top tech officials in the Obama administration, including Megan Smith, the country’s chief technology officer, are former Google employees. According to a recent report by the Wall Street Journal, since Obama took office, Google representatives have visited the White House ten times as frequently as representatives from comparable companies—once a week, on average.

Hillary Clinton clearly has Google’s support and is well aware of Google’s value in elections. In April of this year, she hired a top Google executive, Stephanie Hannon, to serve as her chief technology officer. I don’t have any reason to suspect Hannon would use her old connections to aid her candidate, but the fact that she—or any other individual with sufficient clout at Google—has the power to decide elections threatens to undermine the legitimacy of our electoral system, particularly in close elections.

Are We Hot, Cold or Lukewarm?

Making a Difference - Whether Hot or Cold

Picture
By:  Melody Crombie 
Our family drinks tea, a lot of tea. During the summer months I make big pitchers of the stuff for everyone. Our tea obsession started a long time ago with my husband. He is one of those rare individuals that doesn't drink coffee (gasp) so every morning he gets a travel-size mug of tea that he sips on his commute into work.

Several years ago after our microwave broke, I bought an electric water kettle that heats the water in, you guessed it, a kettle. Our first two were ceramic and always seemed to meet with an untimely demise. Our current one is a robust stainless steel. This morning as I was pouring the water from the kettle into a pitcher for sweet tea, I noticed that the water was not its usual bubbly, steamy self. I have had this happen before and know exactly what to do. One of my overly-cautious kids has gone around during the night and unplugged all of the small appliances so I plug it back in and quickly have active, rolling boiling water in no time.

This reminds me of the bible verse in Revelation 3:16, “So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.” The church in Revelation was no longer making a difference in the people (and ultimately the community) around them. By trusting in their riches, they were essentially telling God they could 'take him or leave him' and it would have no real effect. They had disengaged (unplugged) from the power source of life and allowed the riches of the world to convince them they had all they needed.

Getting water hot or cold usually takes effort. We need fire under it to heat it or ice to make it cold. If water is left alone it often becomes grossly lukewarm. During my lifetime I have witnessed the church getting people around them fired up about important issues. Simultaneously, the church has offered the hurting, thirsty and needy a cup of cold water in Jesus' name. The important thing to remember is that Jesus is our source of power, making us hot or cold.  Our good deeds testify to the world the kind of relationship we have with Him.

The Destruction of America. . .An Inside Job?

Picture
By:  Melody Crombie         
Ever wonder where the communists, Nazi's and terrorists went after the defeat and collapse of their own countries? Did they 'wash up' on America's shores? Can we point to the secular, ungodly ways that are being taught in many of our schools and college campuses as evidence of their influence?

God and any mention of the Bible has been systematically removed from our school curriculum, our government and our way of living. We can see the devastating consequences of this secular humanist, anti-Christian movement in the lives of our school children, homes, government and businesses; even if we can't pinpoint exactly when or how it started. The moral decline of this nation is staggeringly huge and shocking!

On my recent trip across the United States, I talked with a woman near the Ten Commandments monument at the State Capitol Building in Oklahoma. She was crying and upset that it was going to be removed. We prayed and I tried to encourage her that we could do more than just pray. She didn't really know what to do and said that she didn't want to stand in the way of 'God's plan,' since the Bible talked about things getting really bad before Jesus returned to earth.

Fellow Christians, let's follow this type of logic using a different scenario: “I won't brush my teeth because I am going to see the dentist someday and he will clean my teeth and make everything right.” Are you sitting back praying and hoping Jesus comes soon to make everything right? That is great, as long as you are doing everything he COMMANDED you to do! If you are not doing everything possible to change your current situation and the people God has placed in your path, then understand this, the 'Day of the Lord,' will be a day of wrath, “A day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness,” Zephaniah 1:15. We are talking WAY WORSE than seeing the dentist if you haven't been brushing!

Most Christians understand the verse, “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9. We need to be prepared to do all the good we can for as long as we are able, with Godly love!

I met a different woman after a church service in California who told me when Christians said, “Jesus is coming soon,” it amounted to 'fear mongering!' That is partly true, the return of Jesus will be mourned by evil, unrepentant sinners. . .The faithful, obedient Christian will rejoice when Jesus returns!

What can we do about the current darkness in our culture? I am reminded about the story of Rizpah, one of Saul's concubines who stayed with her two sons murdered bodies for several months. Because of her great love for her sons, “She did not let the birds touch them by day or the wild animals by night,” 2 Samuel 21:10.

Rizpah knew she couldn't bring them back from the dead but she was not about to let their memory fade quietly into the night either! Are we sitting back and allowing America, the famed “City on a Hill” to sink into an abyss of darkness and evil?

Pastor Saeed Abedini is 'Crying Out to God' for America's Revival

Picture
By Stoyan Zaimov , Christian Post Reporter May 4, 2015|12:56 pm
Pastor Saeed Abedini, a U.S. citizen who has spent over two and-a-half years in an Iranian prison for his Christian faith, is marking on Thursday his 35th birthday by urging believers to pray for America's revival. The pastor noted in a letter that his birthday this year falls on the National Day of Prayer in the United States.

"As an American and as a prisoner for Christ, I have spent many hours praying and crying out to God for revival for this great nation. We all hope for the success of our nation and for America to be blessed, but without revival there can be no true success or blessing. As Ezra's cried out to God in repentance and the Israelites joined him in weeping bitterly and turning from their sin, I would like to ask you to join me in repenting and praying for revival," Abedini' letter begins.

The American Center for Law and Justice, which represents Abedini's wife, Naghmeh, and the couple's two children in Boise, Idaho, said that the letter was obtained from a family member in Iran who visited the pastor in prison last week.

The ACLJ has been campaigning for the release of Abedini and three other American citizens imprisoned in Iran, but has criticized President Barack Obama's administration for abandoning the Americans in the nuclear deal agreement with Iran.

After White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest revealed last week that Obama would veto any bill that would require Iran to release the prisoners before the nuclear deal is finalized, the ACLJ spoke out and called the admittance "despicable" and "outrageous."

"That is simply unbelievable. Refusing to discuss the Americans being held hostage by Iran at the bargaining table and rejecting any congressional attempt to make any deal with Iran contingent on the release of the Americans is unacceptable. It's quite frankly appalling," the law group wrote on Thursday.

Obama has previously promised to do all that he can to see Abedini released.

In the letters Abedini has been able to get out during his time in prison, he has thanked the many around the world who have prayed for him and signed campaigns for his release.

In his 35th birthday letter, he said that although in times of need it is tempting for people to blame the government and authorities for their fate, it is the people themselves that need to show the change they want to see in society.

"Change starts with us. Revival starts with us. The first step to revival is praying together in unity as a nation. the National Day of Prayer is a great opportunity for us to come out and use the freedom that we have been given. So many Christians around the world are imprisoned and martyred for their faith in Jesus," Abedini wrote.

"You have the freedom to gather across the United States at your state capitol to pray. Please use this opportunity. Please use your freedom for the kingdom of God."
