Have you noticed the "I'm Offended Foundation" has virtually the same membership as the "How Great I Am" club?
When our value rests in Christ, we sing "How Great though Art"; since nothing over powers Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, it is impossible to be "Offended" with Jesus in our hearts.
As my friend Chuck quips, we know we are losing focus when "How Great thou Art" becomes, "How Great I Am." All spiritual forces can over power us when we are Self reliant. Consquently, we are easily "Offended."
Place your Heart and Trust in Christ Jesus singing "How Great Thou Art", you will never again join the membership of the "I'm Offended Foundation."

Christ vs. Government
One form of Prayer is a petition or request(s). Who are you praying to you? Some pray, petition, to Christ; others to the Government.
When citizens pray to Christless Government, Christless Government preys on citizens.
A structure praises its foundation: Anything of Christ, Praises Christ!
If it seems too Good to be True, it is probably from Christ. All things are Possible through Christ who Strengthens us. Are there greater gifts than: Salvation, Healing, Forgiveness, Mercy, Love, Faith, Hope, Peace, Health, Family, and Friends?
If it seems too Bad to be True, it is probably from Oppressors. Seek Christ, Love and Forgive the Oppressors.

Are we in Control?
Do you ever have those moments when you believe that you are in control of your life? Do you ever think you have "all the answers?"
Do you ever encounter others who pontificate on how they have planned out their life! Perhaps continuing on about how they are in control, because they KNOW everything, they can make just about anything happen they desire.
Perhaps others nag you for the "answers" regarding your life and circumstances. Have you been around those who are relentless for an answer even after you admit to having limited understanding of various events. The limited understandings often include, "Why did this occur?"
May be you are tough on yourself when you are unable to verbalize of the "Why's?" in your life.
Next time you encounter someone who seemingly has it "all figured out," believing they are in control of life; whether youself or someone else; inquire of their plans for earthly arrival and departure.
If they are suicidal that is a whole other issue, they need help NOW.
These inquisitions should remind each of us that while we do bear responsibility, there is much of life out of our control; good and ugly. When submitting to God, it is all good and beyond our understanding.

Terrorist in America
Recently one of the Terrorist from 'Club Gittmo' (as defined by Rush) was tried in the U.S. courts instead of military courts. The Obama regime is a proponent of moving these trials from military to civilian courts in New York. The news on the radio reported that the terrorist is now jailed in the United States prison system.
This may seem fine and non-consequential, however every or at least most outgoing U.S. Presidents have granted Presidential pardons to those in prison immediately before the President leaves office.
Considering Obama avoids using the word "Terrorist," including refusing to refer to the Ft. Hood shooter as such; and Obama supports the muslim brotherhood leading protests in Egypt; will B. Hussein Obama grant the Presidential Pardon to U.S. imprisoned terrorists upon leaving office in January 2013 or January 2017?
Is this the primary motivation behind moving the trials to civilian court?
Fortunately, our Lord Jesus Christ is fully capable of protecting us from any and all harm. We must submit to Christ, confessing and repenting our sins as referenced in one of my June 2009 blogs. The Bible says that every knee shall bow at the name of Jesus, this includes you and I; as well as muslims, members of the ACLU and all who ignore or deny Christ.

America
The Greatness of America is founded in Loving God and Freedom more than Government and Security.
Freedom and Responsibility are coexistent with Faith in Christ. Where is our Faith?
I have visited with those who grew up in the Soviet Union, they readily confessed that the Government said it was their god.

Amazing Customer Service
Customer Service boils down to Serving Christ in Assisting Your Customer Achieve Christ's Will for their Life; while You Achieve Christ's Will for Your Life.
Customer Service is loving your fellow man, your customers, as much as you love yourself. Does this sound like the second greatest commandment? Do you desire the success of your customer as much as you desire your success?
Believe it or not, I encounter a few who believe this definition is too 'Basic.' They obviously lack understanding the depth of extending Christ's love and extending that love to our customers.
When we love others with Christ's love, we will be patient, and kind. We will refer them to others when appropriate. We will attentively listen. We will act as quickly and accurately as possible. We will be humble and caring.

Grudges and Forgiveness
Friday, January 21, 2011
Several years ago, a friend and I were discussing forgiveness; particularly forgiving ourselves and others with past wrongs. The sins, or mistakes, varied in degree. We then rhetorically asked whether God forgives us or anyone else when we humble ourselves before Him; acknowledging our wrongs, seeking His forgiveness and repenting or turning from that action. According to scripture, God casts my sin and your sin as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12). According to my math, that is a long ways away!
When God throws our sins as far as the east is from the west, He is not playing ‘fetch’ like we do with a dog. Yet, some of us keep going to the far ends of east and west to retrieve our forgiven sins; and while there often pick up and return with the forgiven sins of others. The secular media are champion retrievers!
My friend and I reminded each other that Jesus said that we are forgiven as we forgive others. Uh Oh – better be careful. Let’s give this some thought. The Lord’s forgiveness is final to Him; once He forgives and throws it as far as the east is from the west; our sin is erased in His mind. Consequently, if we are saturated and led by the Holy Spirit; we too will recognize full forgiveness of repented sins; whether our own or others.
There is only one God, existing in Trinity. As Jesus said, a house divided can not stand. God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is absent double talk. Once God forgives, the Holy Spirit also recognizes the sin as forgiven. If I fail to recognize the sin as forgiven; I am being led by my sinful nature instead of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit he sent to comforter and convict us. Conviction leads us to repentence.
Let us confess our sin, repent or turn from our sin, accept forgiveness through Jesus Christ, and recognize the forgiveness of others as we do in ourselves.

GOALS - Realistic is on Your Knees
As an eight year old, I stood by the old windmill tower in our farmyard setting five major GOALS. Four of them involved athletics, the other was a large business GOAL. I was a terrible athlete, always among the last to be picked for playground teams. In School Day races, I finished in or near last place - I was consistent!
When I share these GOALS, both at the time and later; many responded, "Get a reality check, Rick!" or "Rick, effective GOALS must be realistic; you need to change yours to something achievable."
I defied the advice, keeping my GOALS. I achieved the first four GOALS 8, 9, 20, and 21 years after setting "unrealistic" GOALS in June 1975. I was frequently on my knees pleading for our Lord's assistance. I continue daily working towards the 5th GOAL; most likely some still believe it to be "unrealistic." I remain on my knees seeking the Lord with all my heart, soul and mind. Upon reflection, I believe God was providing a vision for my life back in '75.
On the way to speaking engagement in November 2009, I stopped by the farm which was enroute to my destination. As I pondered the accomplished GOALS, I reflected upon how enonormous and 'out of reach' they seemed in 1975. However, as I set pondering on the river bank 34+ years later; I asked myself why I did failed to set even greater GOALS at the time. Yes, I have continued setting GOALS since.
The Holy Spirit softly spoke to me that November 2009 day on the banks of the North Fork of the Solomon River, "Rick, your GOALS were and are realistic; when you maintain you sole focus and reliance on ME. Yes, they are unrealistic for you to achieve on your own. That is why in June 1975 I placed GOALS on your heart that were insurmountable for you; to guide you to seeking and relying on me."
Yes, GOAL is Greatness Occurs After Leaping (on Faith) or Greatness Occurs After Logic (human reason).
Others will most likely say that you need to get a reality check; you need to set more realistic GOALS. When this occurs, consider our God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit places GOALS on your heart and mind that are Realistic. Realistic when place in His hands!
This is why I invite and encourage those I speak to and work with to set GOALS whose achievements are dependent upon being on our knees seeking and relying on God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Expect God's Intervention! Expect Miracles!
As my dad said in our last meaningful conversation, "Always trust God, always remember that son, trust God (Christ) always." I will dad, I will.

Truth
When something seems to good to be True, it is probably God!
Does Jesus Christ dying for your sins sound too good to be true? Satan and his band of demons certainly try to convince that it is "Too good to be True."
When we give an honest assessment of what we deserved based on our own merits, absent Christ; do our family and friends seem too good to be true?
Do Miraculous physical and emotional healings seem too good to be true?
All things are Possible through Christ who strengthens us. With God, nothing is impossible.
When something may seem too good to be true, question motives as opposed to possibilities.

Impossible
Have you pondered "Impossible"?
Frequently we say, "That is impossible!" Someone often replies, "All things are possible through Christ who strengthens us" or "With God, nothing is impossible."
What is Impossible? "Impossible" simply means the lack of wisdom, knowledge, understanding and strength. God is Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding and Strength. Consequently he never lacks, allowing all things to be possible.
He enables us to achieve the impossible by either temporarily opening the gates of "impossible" for us; or gifting us the appropriate Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding for achievement.
We will expound more on this at a later time.

Ingredients and Components
Ingredients & Components

Did you remember Grade School music class? I recall a class exercise in about fourth grade; we listened to an orchestra recording on an album. If you are under thirty years of age, you probably lack personal experience with an album. As we listened, we were to identify each musical instrument as it played in the orchestra; whether cello, violin, trumpet, flute or perhaps cymbals.
Concurrent lessons involved gaining an understanding and appreciation of the separate orchestra components; while acquiring the distinct sound waves generated by each. The same orchestra originates the music for listener types. Certainly some study the motives and backgrounds of the music composures.
A non-intended benefit of this exercise is engaging and improving one’s imagination; picturing the orchestra playing with contributions from a plethora of individuals and their unique instruments. An orchestra is a compilation of instruments producing a synergetic resonance.
Did this exercise change the sound waves contacting our ear drums, penetrating our brains for recognition? As long as everyone listens to same orchestra and only that orchestra; the sound waves remains constant despite increased recognition and appreciation.
The listener’s emotions, pre or post identifying the separate components, are capable of an equal roller coaster ride. The greater knowledge does increase depth of understanding while the message remains constant.
Does an orchestra have anything to do with scripture? Like an orchestra, understanding the detailed compilation and background of the composures or authors increases the depth of knowledge and appreciation of scripture.
Just as one lacking academic knowledge of an orchestra is able to benefit from excellent music; one lacking academic knowledge of scripture benefits and grows from scripture. The message and the Word remain unchanged despite our intellectual abilities.
We must each listen to the same orchestra for the same music; similarly must each listen to the Holy Spirit for acquiring the same pure Word through.
