Joel Osteen or Jesus?

If Roman Empiresque persecution was knocking on the arena doors of Lakewood Theater, 100% of the members would say,” Jesus who?” and say they’re just there for some inspirational teaching. Gentle congenial Joel is smoking a bowl if he thinks what he is doing pleases God. They appropriately chose theater like seats so the attenders can sit back, relax and enjoy the theatrical, dramatic, and flashy show. He wants us to find the champion in ourselves. LOL, how about we accept the Gift and let Jesus Christ inside of us? If I want to be a champion I’ll go to the gym.

I am on this soap box because I watched his interview on 60 Minutes this week, and BTW, Byron Pitts asked some hard-hitting questions. I’m going to keep an eye on his segments, I like what I see so far. Anyway, Joel says he wants to enlighten the masses about all the good things about God and that everything will be alright, totally ignoring the meat of the Message.

Unholy Joel has squandered his responsibility as a church leader. He professes to be a part of Jesus’ church but what he preaches is the doctrine of devils. He claims he’s making a difficult message simple, like the general population has no ability to do so themselves. While in truth he convoluted a very simple Message that even a child can understand. His message is not even in the same zip code as what Scripture teaches. Plain and simple, he is nothing more than a motivational speaker raking in millions not for His Commission, but his commission. Cajole Joel operates under the guise as a preacher. Is it to avoid taxes? Is it a thirst for power and prestige? Only he and God know his true motives, but I can guarantee it isn’t to cultivate Christians.

To see an example of a true Christian leader, go no further than Dr. John MacArthur (www.gty.org) who preaches the whole Book and not just the fluff. If you go across the pond and back a hundred years, Charles Spurgeon is another good example (www.spurgeon.org). Christ didn’t humbly descend from Heaven to Man’s level and endure the vicious and brutal torture and crucifixion administered by mere mortal Man so that Joel could cajole millions into believing there is no obligation to follow Jesus’ teaching. Joel says to just think happy thoughts and everything will turn out okay. Jesus was hated, not loved, and said the same would happen to His followers. If you claim to be a follower of Christ but cuddle with the carnal world, then you’re fooling yourself for whatever reason and you’re a christian by Man’s false definition alone. That is, basically you’re a good person and believe there is a God and God is a softy who will let you in based upon your merits.

Hate It, don’t believe It, twist It, whatever you want to do to It; but nothing changes It. Just like the wind, you can say it doesn’t exist because you can’t see it, but that doesn’t change the fact that the wind is very real and on the move. Every knee will bow one day and each of us will profess,” Jesus is Lord.” Will your knee bend voluntarily or be forced? Will your lips utter He is Lord willingly or by command. Are you going to follow Joel or Jesus?

Environmental Cases

Revelation 21:1 “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.”

There it is folks, there is no saving the environment, God stamped this spinning ball with an expiration date only He knows. Could be today, could be 10,000 years from now, only He will decide when to wrap up the carnal commotion. Thank God for His patience, He should have cleaned the slate ions ago.

Based upon the fact that God is gonna hit the reset button and start over once He cleans up the mess and casts all the sinners and fallen angels into Hell, it is a shame to see billions and billions of dollars funneled to the environment. All those resources should be feeding, clothing, nurturing, treating, housing, comforting the poor/sick of the world. People do not have an expiration date, we all live forever in Heaven or die forever in Hell. Human lives are a much better investment than a soulless plant or animal.

Now I do believe in responsible management of God’s creation, that was our initial purpose in the first place, but sin brought a curse to Earth and our purpose shifted to obtaining redemption with God. Point being, we should still be responsible and manage fishing, hunting, logging, oil drilling, etc. It is silly to hunt or fish something into extinction, it is horrible to see oil companies spilling their crude product into our waters and on our land. That is common sense, but the enviro-mental cases take it too far and create issues that are a waste of time, effort, and money. These nut cases are making a living tooting the global warming/save the environment horn. The love of money is the ultimate issue they’re concerned about versus love of the environment, guarantee it.

Bottom line, it is frustrating to see so much money being used for a dead issue, those resources should be channeled to give life to those who barely have it.

Is Britney the Next Anna Nicole Smith, Farley, Belushi, Phoenix, Penn?

If I recall, Anna Nicole was in a downward spiral before being found dead. The same with Farley, Belushi, Phoenix and Penn (and now Ledger), odd and wild behavior preceded each of their unfortunate deaths. Their bodies just couldn’t take any more punishment and they collapsed in various apartments, hotel rooms, and a sidewalk. You heard it here first, Britney is on a collision course with a lonely coastal road corner, an overdose, or alcohol poisoning. Or a little of all three.

Honestly, Britney lives in a multi-million dollar trailer, her life is playing out like thousands of others in trailer parks across the country. I now understand why some lady was yelling at the Spears girls to get out of town. Just when I thought her little sister may learn from Brit’s trips and stay out of trouble, little sister is now all over the headlines knocked up with a bastard child from an average Joe. You know, I have to give it to that boy, he saw a goldmine and staked his claim. He may be in hiding, but I bet his family is celebrating with him, he just made more money in one day than they could ever dream of making in a lifetime at the paper mill.

Speaking of little sister, I could not help but laugh at this quote from her,”I love babies, and I have my nephews that I love. I have a great mom and she has raised three kids, so if I take lessons from her, I think I’ll be great.” That’s greaaaaate, tell me she didn’t say she’ll take lessons from Mama Spears! I heard this saying from somebody, having children doesn’t make you a parent in the same way owning a piano doesn’t make you a pianist. These girls have a warped perspective on what it really means to be a parent.

I also found it comical on the news to hear some 16 year old mother who was being interviewed say that Jamie has a rude awakening coming. Implying she will not be able to go and do whatever she wants. LOL. Britney is a living example that when you have money you don’t have to play Mommy. She can have someone else do it. Jamie having a baby at 16 is just like all the celebs who toted those stupid little dogs around in their purses. The moment she tires of lugging it around she’ll just hand the child over to someone else, like a Manny. Or maybe the paper mill sperm donor will pull a Fedster and play father in order to bank some Zoey child support (like their marriage, if they marry, will even last).

Anywho it’ll be interesting to see what happens with these two Spearsters. I think anyone would go a little nuts with that mob of fat slobs in their face flashing their bulbs everywhere they go. That would get old. Good luck ghetto Gucci girls…

Pro-Kill Confusion

I was watching the local news tonight and listened to a story about a woman, Ms. Hernandez, who took meth while pregnant which caused her baby to be stillborn.  Initially she was charged with first-degree murder but it was downgraded to manslaughter and she will be staring at cinder blocks for the next 15 years.

There is no difference between what she did and a death dealing doctor ripping a baby out of the womb with clamps.  If she would’ve gone to a clinic and voluntarily had her baby violently dismembered and taken out of her womb by a caring and loving physician, she would be hailed as a hero by the pro-choice crowd for practicing her right to do what she wants.  Instead, she was addicted to meth, incapable of stopping herself, didn’t make a conscious decision to kill her baby and was scorned and punished for it.  This is a sad story of a baby being the casualty of the meth scourge.  I’m sure she feels horrible, and I hope she turns her life around while locked up.  Only if she would’ve chose to kill her baby at Planned Parenthood, she could still be laying in a gutter shooting up.

If you think about it, killing the baby with meth was more humane than what the Planned Parenthood clinics are doing.  At least with the meth the baby didn’t feel any pain and quietly gave up his/her ghost. The very same people who decry the electric chair for killing the worst of society, have no issue ripping the limbs off of a baby.  Maybe we should start a movement that pushes for the humane murder of babies in the womb and distribute meth, cocaine, crack, heroin…you name it, from Planned Parenthood.

The millions of punctured, ripped, and maimed babies dumped in Planned Parenthood’s dumpsters are now in the arms of Jesus.  Justice will be served to the death dealing doctors on One Great Day.  Hopefully the mothers will get their lives straight, accept Christ as their Saviour, ask for forgiveness and be able to meet their child in Heaven…when no more tears will fall.  Deo Volente.
