The chosen people of God in the Old Testament are representative of the individual sinner, and the church. We see how some want to please God. How others seeking their own pleasures only after being judged repent. In 1 Samuel we see the Israelites rejecting God’s rule. They demand a king other than God. Samuel is to warn them but also he is to anoint the one who would be king. Are we mastered by God or sin? Who is your king? When judged and shown the sin in our lives do we repent, then follow God with our entire heart? Over and over we see God’s chosen people sinning, being punished, repenting, and worshiping. They would go on for a while and fall again. God would accept their repentance and worship after they were humbled. God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. It is His mercy to break the sinner. Only in humility can they experience God’s grace. Oh that I could always remember and be humble so as not to sin against my God. I fear the discipline even though I know it is for my good. Like a child I am in regards to it. As one that matures I see the love of the Father in it. Oh how I love Jesus! His grace is sufficient for even me! So as we see the chosen people of God so we should see ourselves the church. How many times have we sinned and in our self-righteousness punished ourselves in the sinful hope of appeasing God’s righteous and holy judgement? How dare we make less of His grace? Did He die on the cross so that we could be our own saviors? Repent of self-righteousness! I to must repent! Don’t let any sin be the churches King. Only Jesus be our king! Like Israel we are God’s people. We were purchased from sins great price by the redeeming blood of Jesus. The Old Testament books display for us the likeness of the individual sinner, the church, and God. We should see the Messiah in all of the word not just the New Testament.

Islam is evil!
quran 009.029 YUSUFALI: Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. quran 9.29
So lets break this down a bit, Christians don’t believe in the islamic god of the quran known as, “Allah.” We don’t forbid what Muhammed has forbid or says that Allah has forbid. For instance we can eat anything with thanks to God, we can believe in one God that is three persons in one being. We believe in the saving grace of God and assurance of salvation through faith in Christ, these are just a few of the differences.
We don’t believe in the end times according to the quran or Muhammed. So they are told to fight against us. It is not a suggestion. They are told by their holy book to …”Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger,”… As well as fighting against us they are told to make us pay a fee that shows how we have been forced into submission by them so that we feel subdued or beaten, defeated even.
They are by no means a religion of peace. Read the quran with protection from God because it is a book written by the enemy and he will corrupt you if you do not have God’s protection. Pray for them that they might come to know Jesus, but by no means believe what they say about islam!
Ever Wonder?
Ever wonder why postmodernism has spread so quickly? Well wonder no more. It has been taught by the public school system for the last 20 years. That’s right, your lovely tax payer funded school system teaches postmodernism. To sum up what postmodernism is I’ll just say that it rejects the notion of objective truth in favor of a personal perception of what is true for each individual. How ludicrous is that? I mean… Really? Here is an example, “Kid’s playing a game and nobody looses because they are all winners.” More importantly God becomes whatever the individual decides. This is called idolatry. When you fashion a god that is more to your liking, when you don’t accept the reality of the sovereign God of the Bible it is called idolatry! So they teach the kids in a circuitous manner all about subjective truth and this my friends finds it’s way into their theology. Don’t think it does? Think I’m wrong? Go to any college campus and ask some of the students what they think about, how we got here, what we are here for, is there a God, who was Jesus, is there a heaven or hell? Then you’ll know for yourself. Don’t be fooled we might very well be some of the last people in America to have and understanding of objective truth. God bless you.

Ever wonder?
Ever wonder why the news always leaves out the fact that the crazies that are doing things are muslims? I mean… come on… They must think we are stupid. They tell you who they attacked(usually a Christian or Christian group) They tell you when and where, but the leave out the who if the names sound islamic. Sometimes they leave out where the crazies came from as well. I have to assume that it is a purposeful redaction on their parts. Are they afraid of making the muslims angry? I say, “Make them angry! Then we know who to lock up or shoot!” It is crazy to think that people are this stupid, but apparently a large portion of us are. Some people actually haven’t noticed this. It is incredible to me.
