His song "instead of a show" has been in my mind a great deal lately, and this post stirred it up again. You can hear it on YouTube. From the prophet Amos: "Instead let there be a flood of justice, an endless procession of righteous living."

The other day my husband came home with one from Detroit. I asked him what they talked about. His answer was shocking. The firefighters talked about how neighborhoods that were once affluent sat vacant aside from 2 or 3 houses. Those houses are preyed upon almost like ambushes. The rest of the houses are either burned to the ground, burning, or broken into. The firefighters pass fires on their way to calls. They prioritize by selecting houses that people are still living in. They go out armed and with police backup to clear situations before they enter. It is a chilling example of what would happen in the rest of this country, should desperation become more widespread...The Provident Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08824075189614791011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-82129515390867083922012-03-02T13:02:41.431-08:002012-03-02T13:02:41.431-08:00Lot was only righteous because Abraham was a frien...Lot was only righteous because Abraham was a friend of God's andLot's life was pleaded for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-29348303118458466122012-03-02T13:00:39.530-08:002012-03-02T13:00:39.530-08:00"We are reaping the consequences of the aband..."We are reaping the consequences of the abandonment of our Godly heritage"<br /><br /> used to believe that too.<br />I am a born again follower of Yeshua, but after researching churches because we are with out a church home I have been studying church history.<br />Since the first church, around the 2nd century church has ruled witha bloodied iron fist which was welcomed into Protestantism. <br />The pilgrims fruit is oblique.<br />Even Martin Luther's dissertations on Jews was the template of the Third Reich, all was accomplished by Nazis.<br />Our American heritage is far from godly- as I'm discovering.<br />We need to find the first church of the disciples- THE TWELVE new branches/tribes of Israel of the vine of Christ.<br />This church as in the words of Daniel" with power AND authority".<br />the Bible does not say know a man by his doctrine, but his fruit.<br />What is the Catholic fruit?Luther fruit?The Calvinist?

This woman has no concept of living in a military run society like those in North Korea, nor does she probably desire to learn about the liberties she has here. <br /><br />I firmly believe that these comments are coming from a populace that has been dumbed down by our nation's public school system, where children aren't taught to think but to just regurgitate facts. <br /><br />Our society has not only lost it's moral compass but is completely self absorbed. I look at young people today and they are walking around staring at their iphone, with earphones in so that no one disturbs them. I've literally almost run them over because they cross streets without looking and bumped into them due to them not looking ahead on sidewalks. <br /><br />They could care less about speaking to anyone, helping anyone or even doing anything except updating their facebook or twitter account.

If we will recall, there were only 8 people, including Noah who were in the ark. They were all his family. The unclean animals were by 2's and the clean animals by 7's.<br /><br />Of the entire population only 8 people were found faithful and righteous. <br /><br />Same with Lot when he escapes with his family - minus his wife who disobeyed God and turned to look at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. We know what happened to her!!<br /><br />God says to take the narrow path that leads to life. There will be a huge traffic jam (like in a disaster when outgoing side of the freeway is jammed with cars on the wide path; and the incoming side leading to life, nearly empty.)<br /><br />Narrow is the Way and few find it. any are called, few are chosen.

When we turn issues into battle fields drawn between people of different colors we lose focus on the real issue: values. What do people value, security or freedom? When we value security above freedom we allow others to define our freedom by giving them the power we ourselves should possess. That same power can be stolen from us by well-intentioned people who want to pity us into a state of perpetual victimhood. Most people can and should stand on their own feet and make their way in life. Not everyone will achieve the same level of success, but at least what they achieved was their own.

I know more Caucasians who abuse the system than I do Blacks. As a Black female, I find it disheartening to hear how people feel about Black people. <br /> Now I'm not saying that there aren't Black people who justly deserve your criticisms, however we are not all like that. My mother, nor my grandmother, has ever received welfare benefits. We were taught at an early age that if you want something in life; then you must get out there and work for it. These same lessons are what I am now teaching my two girls. My husband parents raised him with the exact same values. We both work, and we are both preparing to be able to provide for our family should something ever happen. <br /> I think that one of the biggest problems with this community is that it is so easy to make generalizations about groups of people. Everyone needs to take a long and hard look at themselves. In this current economy we ALL need to be able to sacrifice the things that put us in this mess; whether it be welfare, social security benefits, tax breaks, or whatever else they may be. That is the only way we are going to get our country back on track. We must return to the country our forefathers wanted us to have(minus the slavery of course. :))<br /> <br />EricaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-10765972293337557912012-02-27T10:30:13.563-08:002012-02-27T10:30:13.563-08:00We have a president who has murderred - by his own...We have a president who has murderred - by his own orders - leaders and other individuals of other nations without a trial to prove guilt or innocence.

Even in my small town, I see the large percentage of those who receive government benefits including housing, phones, EBT cards, etc., none of which I have because I refuse to participate. I shudder to think what will happen when those "benefits" decrease or go away.....I'm now seeing 4th generation "gimme" children who think they are "entitled" to these benefits. Work?
