I was watching a program on the History Channel today called The Universe. It was a documentary of sorts on, well, the universe. I learned a few interesting things that I didn't know and confirmed a few that I suspected. I learned that Jupiter acts as a large magnet that attracts loose debris. The gravitational force of Jupiter keeps the inner planets, including Earth, from being bombarded with asteroids and comets. It seems as though Jupiter has been perfectly placed in the solar system to ensure the survival of life on Earth. I also learned a little about our moon. I knew that the moon was the cause of tides on Earth, but I didn't know that the gravitational pull of the moon helps regulate the degree at which the Earth is tilted on its axis, which is necessary for the growing of crops over the vast majority of the Earth's land masses. Another perfectly designed partner of the Earth. As amazing as the universe is, what really amazes me is the great lengths to which people will go to explain it apart from the great God whose name it literally screams. "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." -Psalm 19:1

God bless.

There is a big flap going on in the media about Larry Craig, Congressman from Idaho. It seems that the powers that be at the major media outlets are intent on destroying him. If he is guilty of what he is accused of, then he needs to resign his seat. That being said, why is he even under scrutiny in the media? The behavior at question is celebrated as a normal thing by the media and other darlings of the left. Look at Barney Frank. Seems to me that what we are seeing is selective outrage designed to further certain political agendas.

God bless.

When two nations come to an impasse and war becomes inevitable, the first course of action is the recalling of ambassadors. As long as the ambassadors are present in their positions, dialogue between governments can occur. We, as Christians, are ambassadors of the Kingdom of God. We are stationed in a foreign kingdom. Our responsibility is to communicate the concerns and positions of our King and His government. As it currently stands, tensions are high between our government and the kingdom in which we have been stationed. The kingdom of Satan has been railing against our King. Many provocations have occured on the part of the Prince of Darkness. Open hostilities between the two kingdoms are inevitable. I suspect that the King will recall His ambassadors shortly. The armies of Heaven are in the planning stages of invasion. Our King is encouraging mass immigration into His Kingdom. "Whosoever will, let him come and take of the water of life freely." As servants in His employ, we should be making His wishes our top priority.

God bless.

"And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." --Mark 3:24-25. Our nation is currently a house divided. We can't survive long if we cannot come together. Is it going to take another attack on our nation to unite us in common purpose? God forbid.

I have been holding out. I have tried to keep to myself parts of my life. I can't do that any longer. You see, Jesus Christ has waged a long war of attrition against me. He has worn me down. He has pursued me when I attempted to retreat. He has returned my vollies of sin and corruption with missles of mercy, love, and grace aimed directly at my heart. I have lost this war. I am relinquishing control of the territories of my heart to Him. I am at His mercy. I lay down my arms.
I raise my hands. I surrender.
