SECOND COMING? WOW!

                  

                                                            SECOND COMING? WOW!

    I watched as a man announced the Second Coming, a God given miracle and the New Breed in America. I've spent years of study on the subjects of rapture and Christ's second coming, so this man had my attention. He said there was a project in a southern state, that when completed, would lead the way to lift up the working class of Americans. Furthermore, he said, this "miracle" would be shared by people in 22 states. He declared "It is our God given right to be able to profit."

    A Christian minister had published a book some time ago bearing the exact title this man used. This book is entirely about scripture, and a subject people of faith would want to read. It does not address the subject of financial wealth. There is a vast difference between financial and spiritual wealth. People who are interested in making money target
groups of people they find likely to "invest" a moderate amount of money to get on the "inside" of a "good thing." The title of this man's subject seemed to address those who are conservative Christians.

    At this point I became suspicious because he seemed to be interested in money, and not Jesus Christ. He did throw the word God around, but it was always connected with our "right" to gain wealth. There were other tease references, such as this wealth would be generated in 22 states, which made me think of the "red" states since he said the clue to this was in a southern state. I did not have to watch or listen to any more of his "preaching," because I had already guessed his "pitch." He was using a highly successful advertising method to bring a message of dollars rather than Christ. But I followed him to the end of his pitch.

    Of course he didn't ever mention scripture. He repeatedly referred to our "right" to have money (wealth), and how we could cash in by following his advice. Christians have been told by many pastors that God wants us to have abundance. Their explanation of abundance is material (cars, houses, etc.). Scripture's definition of abundance is found in Luke 12:15, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he  possesses." When the apostle Paul and other writers in the epistles spoke of Christian "benefits", they listed the gifts of the Spirit, not money. The real value of Christianity is salvation and the Holy Spirit's guidance to follow Christ's teaching in the four gospels.

    Way too much time is spent by Christian leaders raising money and promoting a "give and get" financial message. This may be Christianity's method of operation, but it never was the method of THE WAY, which was the title of the original church. Funds do have to be raised for the gospel to go out, but the social gimmicks used to gather large numbers
of people do not actually increase the number of committed Christians by any substantial amount. The buzz words used by the Second Coming speaker were designed to entice people to make a large profit.

    I read a wide variety of publications to keep abreast of changing world and national situations as well as religious matters. While some of this man's claims are or will be true, it isn't quite what it may seem to be. He outlined a fast-growing phenomena we recognize through terms such as fracking and pipe lines. There's really big money in this industry, and it's growing. Anyone with common sense should know it will raise the standard of living for some people, but the poorer Americans will not be the major beneficiaries. Property owners who lease the land where successful wells are located gain the lease
money and a royalty on gas produced. If you aren't one of the blessed property owners, you gain little unless you can afford to buy stock in an energy company that makes a profit. 

    The claim that we'll see lower domestic prices for gasoline or natural gas is false. Think about two things: prices last winter for heating and your car's gas, and the man's clincher from the southern state. This clincher is the construction of a transfer station that will receive the fracking gas and load it into ships for foreign sale. Of course they have to
build pipelines to sell the gas overseas. There are proposals all over the map for constructing these pipelines. But, let's back up to those foreign sales. They will only benefit the energy companies and the stockholders of those companies. How many low and middle income people can afford these stocks?

    This message is not about financial advising or finance, but rather to alert conservative Christians to the reality of the man's proposition. I don't have investments, but I read The Wall Street Journal. They follow finances very closely. Some energy companies are returning big profits to investors right now. Some of these companies are spending risky
large amounts on the hope rapidly expanding lease acquisition and successful drilling will follow. Some of these over-extended energy companies will fail and their stock will be worthless. 

    Subscribing to this man's financial newsletter/business does give him a comfortable income. However, he makes no pretense of following any part of God's involvement. Christ never said it was "our right" to be rich or wealthy. In fact, many/most of Christianity's leaders have not been rich and endured prison or were killed. If you consider investing in anything, you should pray for guidance. God is in control, but He gives you a choice. God may not lead to riches (money), but He will always lead to THE WAY, and that's for eternity. We have no man-made miracles for money or blessings. When you put your trust in man, you are not dealing with the One who operates the controls.

    Just a little information about give and get that is spelled out in scripture, but not easy to understand...We are living in the period of grace, but grace is only the fulfillment of the Law. That, of course, is the Ten Commandments plus one (Christ's Eleventh Commandment.) The tithe was a believer's contribution, or God's share of your blessing (income). The tithe is not a sacrifice. A sacrifice before Christ required shed blood. 
Christ died for our sacrifice. A Christian's sacrifice must be of special value to the person, just as blood was required before Christ. Giving from much is rarely a sacrifice. It usually does not represent a need, but could represent something like a tax write off. To understand this better, look at Luke 21:2-4.

    "And He saw also a certain poor woman putting in two mites. So He said, 'Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.'" Congregations tend to "look up" to members of the church who are big givers, but this only means they are impressed by amounts of gifts. Giving from much means little to God, and is not a sacrifice. It is a generous and good thing to do, but must be considered as God sees it. Reread the statement from Luke if you still don't understand. The widow had respect for God, and valued Him over money. Who comes first in your life? If you respect God over money, He will bless you with those things you need. Otherwise, you are
standing alone, and are at the whim of man. Look to God, not man. He can give you things more precious than gold such as health and family.

NATIONAL JUDGMENT

                                           NATIONAL JUDGMENT

      In studying the end times, Christians need to look directly at scripture
to understand judgment. Each person is judged separately, and each
nation is judged separately based on the overall record of the people.
Christ said "For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do
not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind." (John 9:39)  This may be difficult to understand, but He is explaining He is not judging people while He is on earth, but people are separating themselves by choosing whether or not to believe in Him. Their personal choice   decides their eternal home.

    To judge a nation, God looks at the choices and records of the people
He placed in control of the nation. Christians who say they are committed
to Christ (The Way) will be judged as in the above paragraph, and He will
examine each person's works. Remember, James 2:17 warns us "Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." Going to church is not works, singing in the choir is not works. Works is following the teaching of Christ as given us in the four gospels. Works is actually doing something to benefit someone else. If you study the PARABLES in the gospels you will see your marching orders. Christ warns about the love of money (Matt. 6:24); judgment (Matt, 7:1), and to save yourselves time in researching  many verses of scripture, look at Matt. 25:31-46.

    Matt. 25:31-46 makes it clear your works depend on some sort of 
sacrifice on your part. It may be time, money, skill, labor, supplies, or
counseling. There are two emotions at play when you do "works", and
your personal, honest evaluation will tell you how "religious" you really
are. You may have a warm, fuzzy feeling, which denotes you enjoyed
being able to help someone. You may have a feeling of satisfaction for
having fulfilled a need. If your feeling has both these elements, you have
performed a "works". A works requires more than an easy solution, as
you can see from Matt. 25:31-46. Under grace (Christ), tithing is not
a works (surprise). That was a requirement under the Law. We still 
call the offering (in services or mail, wire, etc.) tithing, but it is a
matter of choice in amount. If you research the giving of Israelites,
you will find the 10% was only a part of required giving. There were
several needs that were met through other offerings. These were
somewhat like the social nets we have today. Think social security
and health insurance. Consider the widow's mites (Mark 12:41-44,
Luke 21:1-4), to see what a sacrifice and works is.

    Americans proudly proclaim their generosity and mission work all
over the world. Today many foreign nations seem to have lost their
respect for us. Other developed nations have universal health care,
and much of it is high quality. We shove tons of money into education,
but keep falling behind other developed nations. While God will
undoubtedly weigh these matters in judging us, we are about to
cross the line Jesus warned us about THREE times. Look at Matt.
19:13-15, Mark 10:13-16, and Luke 18:13-17. He is speaking about
the importance of every person (child) to God, without discriminating
by nationality, race or religion. He is also telling us that His kingdom
consists of those who RESPOND and TRUST in Him. We are to treat
each child as a treasure and sacrifice whatever is necessary to raise
them for HIM. Yes, I'm writing about all those children that have
entered our nation illegally. If you're a real committed member of
The Way (Christianity), you must know these directions from Christ
are for us now as testimony to our faithfulness and truth. Or, we can
follow the advice of columnist George Will, who was quoted on TV
as calling these immigrants "eight year old criminals with teddy bears."

    These children haven't been judged by anyone, not even God, so
Will's comments are obviously a lie and intended to inflame those
Americans who are responding with greed and hatred. These people,
apparently know nothing of decency or Christ's teaching, and refuse
to understand that it takes a parent's great trust to send a child across
two or three countries in the hope they could escape the drugs and
murder of their native country. They aren't carrying bombs and they're 
not coming here to spread disease. Think of the terrifying trip across
countries without adults or money. Those complaining say we need
to spend our money and resources on our own children. They're
absolutely correct. We have large numbers of children right at home
who are poor, malnourished and in subpar schools. These same 
naysayers are the ones who are only concerned with their own family.
They are the ME politicians and followers who place their own interests
over other citizens. It's all about money, greed and discrimination.

    We're told in the gospels by Christ to treat our neighbors as we would
treat ourselves. This was such an important issue that Christ listed it
as the Eleventh Commandment. Where are our pastors and Christian
leaders on radio and television? For that matter, where are impartial
news editors? Will you be watching to see if the Satanic Temple court
case will be accepted by the Supreme Court? They want the same
privilege granting Christians the right to discriminate against people
and corporations who aren't Christians. This is the road to theocracy, 
which is well under construction. 

    God gave mankind the choice to follow Him or not. He has never
forced anyone to become a Christian. He has never forced anyone to
get educated, married or anything else. God does not want saints in
Heaven who can't pass His test of salvation. Those who aren't saved
obviously won't follow His (Christ's) teaching. If you think you're a
committed Christian, read the four gospels carefully and see how
many of His lessons you can pass. We all sin, but if we're committed,
we receive the Holy Spirit to help us reduce sin. Can you check off
areas He taught as places where you have improved? Do you care
at all about less fortunate people? Have you bought in to the ridiculous
claims that all poor people are lazy, all handicapped people are
 "throw-aways, that our returning vets don't deserve more than a
mere existence or whenever medical care, that all abortions are
sins, that same sex marriage is only for fornication, that gay people
should be (humanely) eliminated, the elderly should politely retire
and fade away without their own savings (social security), that our
federal government should be diluted to states' rights, that Hitler was
right in creating an elite race, that women should be "talked down"
to, that almost half of our citizens live off some kind of government
 welfare ,or that it's okay to follow any opinion without checking for 
the truth?

    You must understand that God is really in full control, and He is
able to perfectly understand the condition of your heart. He doesn't
have to hear your words to know the score, and He can't be fooled.
Only you can fool yourself. If Christians continue to ignore Christ's
directions, our national scorecard will fail. You could be among the
professing Christians that don't pass the tribulation test, and will have
to stay behind for the make-up test. I pray that isn't so.

BELIEF, FAITH, and MIRACLES

                                              BELIEF, FAITH, and MIRACLES

    The Christian bible is the best place to learn and understand the major
differences between belief, faith , and miracles. I'll do this message
backwards in an attempt to show our usual misunderstanding of these
three terms. Miracles seem to have a broad meaning for most people.
A miracle is actually something that is or appears to be supernatural.
Surprise or unexpected results are wonderful, but usually do not require
supernatural intervention. We have to separate the two meanings of
miracles to address belief and faith.

    There are tons of prayers uttered all over the world every day. Yet,
most never carry any spiritual weight. God hears all, and the fulfillment
of prayer depends largely on the same grounds as a commitment to
Christ as Savior. It's not the words you say, but the condition of your heart. The words only express you in the flesh or carnal state. Your heart must be in spiritual agreement. It is a complete step, and if your heart and words are melded, you have salvation. When your heart is committed,
you have eternal salvation. The Holy Spirit is with you to help you when
you face challenges.

    This may sound like a salvation message, but it is to show that the
method of salvation and prayer "miracles" require the same one-two
punch. Without this combination, a prayer is mostly wishful thinking.
This may seem to be an unappreciative response from someone like me,
who received a multitude of prayers during my medical emergency last
year. Not so. If you pray, there is weight in your intent, even though your
heart may have more than one concern at the moment. We are all so
busy, it is difficult to separate our concentration to a single purpose,
especially for any length of time. 

    There are more than 90 passages in scripture that deal with the heart,
beginning in Genesis and sprinkled generously throughout the New
Testament. These explanations are based on scripture, and I'll use
Psalms 7:9 as an example. "Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come
to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts
and minds. My defense is of God, who saves the upright in heart."

    Some biblical scholars and pastors don't believe in miracles. They also
don't believe God speaks to anyone in this age, and there is no such thing
as faith healing. When they make these bold statements they don't realize they are denying the existence of the Holy Spirit. God does not change. See Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and  forever." Then go to Acts 1, and read the entire chapter, but noting
carefully verse 8 (in part), "But you shall receive power when the Holy
Spirit has come upon you;" Christ is leaving earth, but the power of God
and His Son will be with us until He returns. The problem God has in
speaking to anyone is that the person isn't really listening. Hearing from
God and healing require special conditions of concentration. If you receive healing through prayer, you believe. No one can shake your faith unless they revive the seed of doubt in your carnal mind. I've seen this happen at least twice, once because of money, and once because of choice of companionship. When you give up healing so you can continue to receive a disability check, you have made a very bad choice.

    If you don't believe in miracles, it doesn't mean your prayer won't have
an impact. It means you desire a positive outcome, but don't have the full
connection with the Holy Spirit. Without FULL confidence in the Holy Spirit, faith healing doesn't happen. This is where we turn to belief and faith. Much store is placed in the word belief. Most people in the world of all colors and nations believe in God. The God they believe in may be the God of Israel and Christ, or it may be a sculpture of stone or wood or the Devil, himself. Satan is a firm believer in the God of Israel and Christians. He probably knows scripture better than you. His forces of evil are better organized to fight you than you are prepared to fight them. He has full control of his people, while God gives us the option of choice. Because we don't bother to seek the truth and ignore the directions to prepare for spiritual battle, Christ will have to return to prevent the world from perishing.

    You may say you do seek the truth by reading scripture and attending
church and bible study. You probably never question the religious messages you hear or ask "why" about important subjects that don't concern you personally. Our ministry spends several hours a day counseling people--both churched and unchurched. None know very much scripture, even those who have been churched for 20 or 40 years. They only know gossip about local or state leaders, and their knowledge is so absent as to have them get mixed up and vote for a candidate they didn't intend to support. They admit this,  but don't bother to change their approach to life.

    The problem with belief often begins in a religious gathering, not specifically Christian, but of any faith. Christianity is not immune to this. Too much time is spent in gossip, and not enough time in scripture. Timothy 2:3-4 warns and instructs us, "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires , because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves  teachers, and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables." The largest organized churches in America profess some type of Christianity, but they also stress a need for money. The tax exempt status they enjoy no longer prohibits them from using the pulpit for political and financial gain. Tax exemption for a church should never have been permitted. Christ said (Matt. 22:21), "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." When I began the ministry, it was improper to preach politics from the pulpit. Today, anything goes, and all taxpayers are financing religious propaganda through tax exemptions. A ministry that takes in millions of dollars weekly can  and should pay taxes. Because you believe there is a god, does not take you out of the huge group of other believers, including Satan.

    You see, belief is not enough to stand alone. With this must come faith,
and here is another hurdle most people fail to see. Because you say you
have a Christian or other faith, that in itself is not enough. Faith is defined
as trust in God. We have belief and faith, both of which have similar meanings. For a Christian to have the power of reception, the third part of the trinity must be present. That comes only with salvation, and salvation requires an unlimited commitment to Christ. Our commitment to Christ is the final step that gives us the connection with God. Our earthly major benefit of this membership card is the presence and assistance of the Holy Spirit.

    If we are confident of our salvation, and our statements of belief and
faith are heart based, the Holy Spirit is there waiting to answer our prayers. This is the combination necessary for miracles such as faith healing. One more ingredient when one person prays for another, is explained in Matt. 18:19, "Again I say to you that if two of you on earth agree  concerning anything that they ask, , it will be done for them by My Father in heaven." Remember, where you are doesn't matter. Matt. 18:20 assures us, "For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, I am there in the midst of them." The key element is the absence of doubt. This is a test of belief, faith and commitment of usually two people. The Holy Spirit needs full human commitment to fulfill the trinity. Miracles can and may happen. God is always ready. Are we?

SELFIES and the PATH

                                                           SELFIES and the PATH      

    We are living in a new age of "selfies" and an ever widening path of religious faiths. Examined through scripture, these subjects tell a profound story of Americans and our religion. This message is based on scripture, not opinion, with biblical quotes from the King  James edition of the bible. If you already have opinions, please remember to check the actual scripture before dismissing any conclusions of the subject.

    We'll begin our journey with an examination of the selfie movement.
It is a movement, with most Americans using the latest devices to
record and receive just about everything. We have become enamored
by our physical appearance, and want to give others the opportunity
to look at God's handiwork. To be sure, we were made in the likeness
of our creator, right? We should be proud of His handiwork, because
nothing could be better. Our physical differences don't matter, even
though we may not appear to be beautiful or handsome to everyone.
Each of us is a unique likeness to God, the Father, and His Son, right?
Let's see where this description originates--it's in the bible.

    Gen. 1:26-27 tells us "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the  fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.'" Seems pretty clear, doesn't it? It states three times we are images of Him and once it refers to likeness of Him. When we send a selfie, we are recognizing God's handiwork that made us to look like Him. Although some selfies may be in poor taste, these pictures actually glorify His creations.

    Now, we go to John 1:1. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." This makes it clear the holy scripture represents God. This reinforces the quotes above from scripture, bringing both the Old and New Testaments together. But, wait! How can this be when Christian leaders rule that the image of God in a man or woman does not fit the description of a Godlike person? What other image of God can take selfies? Hard to believe, but our Christian United States Supreme Court has passed the rule of law stating a corporation is a person. That use of the term "person" is a secular legal description used by attorneys to enable a company (corporation) to have a legal name and identity. Of course, that  company or corporation must furnish a living human to sign all paperwork or there is no company or corporation.

    Using this Christian definition, you could put your car and truck titles of ownership in a corporate entity, with you as the official designated as the responsible officer--chief executive officer. You and your vehicles would then be a "person." Meanwhile, you and I would no longer be persons because we are the images of God and Jesus Christ, and none of us look like a corporation, (Although an individual can incorporate himself.)  All this means Christ is further pushed from a distinct place in Christianity and out of many corporate stores and even the greeting, "merry Christmas." Remember, you can't blame this on a secular world. The action was taken by Christian judges in a court ruling. The case is known as "Citizens United", and was approved to give corporations all privileges under the Constitution granted to people. You cannot say this is political, because it was  passed by Christians in a Christian nation. 

    When you get your first corporate selfie, please contact me. Also, when you see the first body bag from Afghanistan military action delivered to Dover Air Force Base, I want to see the coffin and  corporate body. I have a great devotion to God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit, who are not a corporation controlled by men and women. Apparently many Christians don't worship the same deity, because I don't see any Christian judges or leaders demanding to know how this ruling can be. I do know this ruling has enabled cash contributions beyond my ability to track and count. Could it be money has  compromised acceptance of salvation, which is cash free, because money is greed and power? Contrary to some Christian leaders, Christ does not campaign for money and material riches (Matt. 6:24, "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other, You cannot serve God and mammon.") God is in control, and no
human is going to change things unless God permits it. If Christian thinks money is so important as to dump the likeness of Christ for a corporate logo, Christian America has a dismal future.

    The next time you take or see a selfie--if you claim you are a Christian--think about your court authorized brethren and compare their logos with the human picture and remember the corporation logo  must somehow also be the likeness of God. It can't possibly be the likeness of Christ because many, many people saw Him, talked to Him and ate with Him. With Christ moving out of the Christian picture, we will look forward to the next proposed step, and this is not my idea, but one already out there. That is to replace the bible and God's covenants with the U.S. Constitution. We already hear comments seeking Constitutional changes--and many of these people are Christians.

    If you didn't like this message so far, you'll hate this part as well. I shudder to see God replaced as the creator of mankind by a man or
woman who assumes the Godly role of creating a "corporate" person.
But the continuing complexity of "new and improved" denominations
and religious divisions has created another snare for Christianity.
Rather than learn the entire bible, Christian church people are moving
to "improve" and alter scripture. The bible gives us a clear path to
salvation and heaven, but people want to change this inspired Word
to suit their purposes. It's understandable many Christians have
difficulty with the Old Testament, but the Gospels are very clear and
easy to understand. The Epistles are also a problem for Christians
because they are teaching and philosophical lessons. Many address
particular problems in some of the early churches and do not apply
across the board to all churches. You must also remember that some
books such as Proverbs, are not laws, but wise suggestions. Many of
the suggestions are there to help you from making mistakes which may
not be sins.

    I'm not about to attack various denominations because God gives each of us a choice. The four Gospels give us exactly the directions we should follow if we truly and sincerely commit to Christ. The reason for commitment should not only be for the purpose of salvation, but for
everlasting life through obedience to Christ. Salvation is a gift, but
is only claimed by those who actually are led/follow Christ. In America
we have hundreds of denominations and sub-denominations. All seem
to have various man made rules to be accepted in a particular
denomination. Christ gave us an entire plan. Christians seem to think
there have to be additional requirements to "belong" to a denomination.
That has been true since the first "church" was formed. There were
so many problems in these early churches that letters had to be written to the leaders and disciples had to visit to correct actions of church leaders. 

    Many individual denominations have serious branch churches who
may have their personal method of presenting Christianity. Some don't
even know the plan of salvation. John 14:6 explains the ONLY way to
salvation. "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No
one comes to the Father except through Me.'' There are no papers to
sign, no pledge, nothing material, only a commitment from the heart and an OBLIGATION to learn and follow His teaching in the Gospels. That does not mean "some" of the teaching or some of the time. If you are serious about your future in eternity, you better be serious about your commitment. Quite a number of people tell me they are disappointed by the actions of Christians. They describe the actions, and usually they are totally opposite of Christ's teaching. Frequently they are money based, politically based, or opinions of church leaders who have their own agendas. Remember, for many pastors, it's a job, not necessarily a calling. The more influential members of a congregation frequently color the procedures and teaching in the church.

    None of the early churches were known by a particular name or
Christian name. The practice of Christianity may have been somewhat
different in the widely scattered early churches, but Christ's teaching
and movement were simply known as THE WAY. There was one path
to salvation and it was through Christ and His teaching. When people
were saved, they studied His words (yeah, I know they didn't have bibles.) You do, my friend, so check my scripture references. Because so many people have expressed disappointment in modern day churches and Christianity, I am using our ministry and The Way to identify our work. That alone frequently opens the door of curiosity and leads to a discussion of the gospel.

    Faith Walk Ministry does not spend time promoting a denomination.
We only promote The Way, God's instruction, gift, and principles taught by Jesus Christ. Many of His principles are considered to be socialistic by many Christians. Do you believe God did not teach us to share our lives with others? Do you believe a person who earns $100,000 a year works harder than a grunt (soldier), day laborer, factory worker or waitress? Do you believe men should "talk down" to women? Do you believe handicapped, elderly, or disadvantaged people should be limited to just "exist"? Do you believe we should dump the women and children who have crossed the border illegally because they are all drug smugglers, sick, lazy, and otherwise worthless pieces of humanity? Do you believe our Border Patrol agents aren't vaccinated, or our military? Do you know what it says on the Statue of Liberty? The only aliens we have in America
are those who aren't American Indians.

    Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Certainly it's an imposition and costs money, but what do you believe will happen to them if they are sent back? Many are so young they probably won't survive. Is this kind of existence and death better than abortion? Isn't it past time for Christians to study Christ's directions? Do you believe God will smile on America and not notice those we could help? Do you believe God will look favorably on our personal human value and money over hopelessness of people in need? If Christians aren't going to honor and follow the teaching of Christ who died for us, why would anyone think His shed blood should cover anyone who is totally caught up in a ME belief and obviously is not Christ like? God is looking at the plight of poor children in America, but He also sees the aliens. You can't hide from God and Christ. Christian leaders need to find the path that is THE WAY.
