I WAS IN A LOCAL EVANGELICAL PENTECOSTAL CHURCH WHERE THE PASTOR HAD ASKED ONE OF THE PROMINENT CHURCH PERSONS TO SHARE HOW GOD WAS HELPING HIM TO MEET HIS GOALS NOW IN LIFE..
I here was expecting spiritual, godly goals now.. but instead the divorced person now shared that his main goals was finding a second wife and getting remarried, getting a good paying job, next buying a nice home and a nice car too.. Clearly I seem to have missed those supporting goals, related Bible verses in the new testament for all of this in my Sunday School upbringing.. because they are not at all mention, or confirmed there as being godly goals,, rather they are the too common secular goals many of us have.. and yes there is no promises of God that he would endeavor, next help us to meet this self centered goals. Do correct me if I am here wrong!!!
(Luke 8:14 KJV) And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
(1 Cor 7:29 KJV) But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; 30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not; 31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
(1 Cor 15:36 KJV) Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
(Mat 19:23 KJV) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. :24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
(James 1:11 KJV) For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
(Luke 12:20 KJV) But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 12:21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
(Mat 6:33 KJV) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. (Gal 2:10 KJV) Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
(Eph 5:17 KJV) Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

Cartoons Canada’s political scene continued

Almost since my first job after graduating from university I had learned that generally most people still are not to be trusted, they always do need to be supervised, and corruption still exists in construction, universities, municipalities, governments, corporations, amongst professionals and politicians as well. Here is what I know for sure in Canada that the proper policing, management , supervision human rights commissions are a real fact of life, in our society, in schools, life, in churches, governments, commerce, institutions, civil and public services, professional services too, and elsewhere, even on the net, for you will always have those 30 percent at least of the persons who will try to cheat, lie , steal, bend the rules, falsely believe they are above the laws. Self regulation alone is too often pretentious, farcical, often not applied as well. That applies especially to the professionals, civil and public services, police, municipalities, politicians, pastors now as well.
You can fool most of the people most of the time, some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all the time.. nevertheless a good name is worth more than any silver or gold you acquire, and a bad name is disrespected even after the person’s death. One of the most surprising things to me in real life was to witness, experience. and many times now too, that the real bad, immoral con men, liars, thieves, fakers, imposters, pretenders do often like to be associated with a Christian Church .. and can hold positions as Pastors, elders now too..
One of many real life examples, from my childhood days in my local Church I had now encountered a fellow evangelical church attendee, who next years later was eventually arrested for possession of stolen property and for a time went to prison for it. It now next was of course a shock to hear next that this same person years later when he left prison had became an ordained evangelical Pastor. A shock cause there was no real evidence in fact that he had even changed.. Now decades later the same person now claimed to be a chaplain, visiting sailors on ships, and was supposedly conducting church services. The same person had become the owner of various store buildings and apartments, and he also owned and ran an antique shop as well. I next happened to rent one of the apartments from him as well. Upon which I clearly had discovered, often had witnessed that he still was a fake, for he now also was involved in tax evasions, welfare fraud as well. He used his position as a Church chaplain to buy medals, uniform, war souvenirs from visiting port sailors and next to resell them in his antique store for cash even. He in fact had not changed at all, he was still a crook.. So excuse me when now someone claims to me that such and such a person is now a really good person. In reality I rightfully next tend to first check it out firsthand, for rightfully I no longer believe what most people tell me. And especially how good PM Stephen Harper now is too.
One evangelical says the PM Stephen Harper is a good evangelical Christian, and another one says he is not? so who are we really to believe now too?
Attack on Harper out of line – Winnipeg Free Press – Apart from knowing he was raised a Presbyterian and now attends a Christian and Missionary Alliance Church with his family, we, the public, know nothing about what he personally believes. author: Email: dhaskell@wlu.ca “David Haskell” http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/westview/attack-on-harper-out-of-line-65930672.html
Just for a start this bluntly is an Ostrich denial, distortion of reality. For we all do know what a man really believes by what he does, not what he says, so if he cheats, lies, steals, slanders, discriminates, shows false partiality, abuses others then that is what he is.. Still now why anyone would now absurdly try to deny that PM STEPHEN HARPER IS A fundamental evangelical when so many of his conservative supporters so readily claim it, so do many Canadian evangelical pastors, even an Albertan Christian radio station too.. UNDENIABLY THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BEING LITTLE BIT PREGNANT, BEING LIBERAL, ESPECIALLY FOR ALL BORN AGAIN EVANGELICALS, unlike some of the other professing Christian groups. It is very clear now that the new Conservative Canadian spin doctors are now trying to cover up the existence of any PM Stephen Harper hidden fundamental Christian agendas by presenting him to be a really moderate liberal Christian. Harper’s own Christian Missionary Alliance you must be born again Church itself is not a moderate one when they are one of the few Churches that do these days proclaim Healing to be now a daily, divine Christian right and also attaining personal holiness, sanctification by the Holy Spirit too..
And what the lying spin doctors would try to say Harper was not a basic self proclaiming fundamental evangelical ? get real now.. who are you lying too? But to yourself mainly.. How absurd for anyone now even to deny this that Harper has many fundamental evangelical values even confirmed this by Harper now appointing court judges who hold his religious values.. that was why he supports family values too, Harper is against abortion, gays, bad drug usage as well.. but what was surprising is he Harper undeniably buys alcohol for others.. playboy next too? So no this is not an acceptable evangelical trait for sure.
But since I too have attended his Christian and Missionary Alliance Church ( actually a Corporation) I am not surprised they also are far from perfect, they also do do have a lot of non Christian practices like Harper does too, such as they do also lie, despise poor people, also natives, immigrants, discriminate and are racists, bigots, show false partiality, like to give good jobs to their friends as well.. They too are a Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde now. PM Stephen Harper has fundamental values when it comes to dealing with others but has liberal values when it comes to dealing with himself and his own colleagues.. Transparency, accountability, openness are more of Stephen Harper ONGOING LIES NOW TOO.
Now maybe for the ignorant who do not know what a fundamental Evangelical culture is like, but since I went even to Christian and Missionary Alliance Church church for 8 years too I know what they believe in the WASP, sexiest, chauvinistic Alliance church,( very unlike the Baptist Church too) actually a Corporation, run by the district superintended and not managed or owned by the local congregation even, a Church that despises the poor and needy persons, also racists, also despises natives not just new immigrants.. and this is no ordinary fundamental Christian church, for it is not accepted by the majority of Christians, who in fact do not tend to know that this so called church even exists or what they basically believes, so the majority of Christians, fundamental evangelical Christians too, they do not really believe the Alliance Church as having their similar Christian values now as well even.. Also fundament evangelicals as opposed to Catholics, Anglicans too, are abstainers, do not drink alcohol, which Harper clearly and undeniably does, so here too he PM Stephen Harper now even personally does not even practice the basic tenet of the evangelical Christian faith too. The Alliance Church, Jesus as Savior, Sanctifier, Deliverer, Healer, Coming King, does not have a main doctrinal statement now of helping the poor people (Gal 2:10 KJV) Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do. Harper for me still is a fundamentalist for he does wrongfully believe that the Bible says the Jews are still God’s chosen, and yes the same Bible says only a man is the head of the home too.. the Bible says no marital divorce, and no gay marriages, and he Harper supports relationship divorces, borking, marginalization of others.. never the less also he Harper is a Liberal when it comes to alcohol, lying, abusing others, money matters, or dealing with his own wrong doings or that of his supporter ..
NOW EVANGELICAL PRIME MINISTER Stephen Harper of Canada, you the Prime Minister are also now reputed to have a keen knowledge of rock music, do Love rye (or beer) and hockey… For as George W. Bush is on record as Harper saying if you don’t drink Canadian beer you’re a pansy but firstly this is not at all important even.. http://200milesup.newsvine.com/_news/2007/04/08/560786-world-leaders-that-confirm-their-countries-stereotypes-with-pictures etc.,
But never the less I rightfully still now do expect better from you even over what the previous Prime Ministers, political parties have done, after all you had claimed to be a real Christian and so it is time you also do visibly act like it now too in reality, not in mere words.. and so please deal properly with all the issues that rightfully concern all Canadians now too.. not just your own…
” Everybody?” With all due respect , even if it was true, which we all know it is not , that doesn’t make it right still. The Conservatives often say that “Everybody has done it, everybody is doing it ” is firstly still basically, really not true for I am not doing it. Many of us are basically cynical now about the politicians and the political games they play. For example, they always promise not to play games and promise to keep all of their promises too . In reality Prime Minister Stephen Harper has no valid job creation, economic recovery vision and is instead using public funds to secure Tory seats. Prime Minister now also acts like a Liberal, talks like a Liberal and spends money like a Liberal, so really what is he ? A non Conservative.. but meanwhile the Conservatives say that Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff, will raise taxes if he is elected and so next what is the difference anyway now under Harper, who in spite of whatever he say will have to cut back on our social programs and raise our taxes sooner or later.. so which federal leader “is on the right track to keep taxes low? reality, none of them..” And based on the present actual economic recovery it is very unlikely the economic growth will be enough to pay off the deficits.. As fixated as politicians are on balanced budgets, no Canadian political leader, not even Stephen Harper, is going to be able to keep from raising taxes with a projected $100-billion federal deficit” It is time the Conservative politicians, all those other Conservative MPs who, at photo-op cheque presentations have repeatedly given the impression Government of Canada economic stimulus money is coming from them personally, and not the government, and including Prime Minister Stephen Harper started coming clean and honest with all Canadians. For to make sure Canadians know about their poor in reality “economic action plan,” the Harper Conservatives have now even wasted millions of dollars – millions of tax dollars – on a massive advertising campaign, including TV commercials and billboards. ” These ads, of course, do not change the reality that tens of thousands of Canadian workers are running out of employment insurance benefits, their workplaces closed down and their pensions gone up in smoke. ” Despite the Conservatives Government claiming to be good fiscal managers, and now still next best qualified to manage the economy. Billions of dollars in past Liberal surpluses evaporated under Harper – even before the real recession hit Canada. Reality “This government’s stimulus package has failed, “Stimulus funds are not going into areas that need it — the forestry and manufacturing sectors and into places with high unemployment”, for “what they wanted to do was keep the money up in Ottawa and dole it out to Conservative ridings and their friends, “says Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff too.
(Mat 5:13 KJV) Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
(Luke 6:43 KJV) For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
