As for me I do not have to decide on this issue, the Word of God has
spelled it out quite clearly for my understanding. The reason I am
posting this article is to point out that many denominations are
"changing" their thinking or stance on this issue. I will not tell this
church or that church what they are to believe or teach, for me I see it
as fruitless. I will choose not to attend any church or receive
teaching from any pastor who sides with continued living in a state of
sin and patting me or anyone else on the head to say "there, there,
it's OK, God still loves you...just put your money in the plate and pass
it down". I do not care if the sin is gambling, adultery, drug abuse,
whatever, the Word of God is clear that if it leads to death of the
spirit and our interactive relationship with God our Father then we need
to ditch it and fast. The first commandment is that we will love the
Lord our God with all our heart, with all our mind and all our strength.
If I am in a relationship that I prize more highly than being in
complete alignment with my Creator's heart then I am idolizing that
relationship. For a "believing" pastor to change and say the bible is
not clear on what is sin is like saying the sky is orange - not blue.
Sin, it will get us all in trouble, every time.

Why I appreciate Cliven Bundy and how he helps me see God in My life
Heard from Cliven today on Alex Jones,
it was a good interview for about half an hour. The more people who hear
Cliven and hear his explanations of what it going on and how the
Federal Government is out of bounds on all of this, the more people are
seeing the true picture and how the idea, the idea of America is not
dead. America is alive in our hearts and minds, America is a place like
the forefathers gazed upon. A place, a plot of land where a person could
shape out their home and call it the place where they may spend the
rest of their life. A life not filled with hustle and bustle but filled
with honest work and a sense of purpose. A man needs a struggle, a
wrestling with life otherwise it all comes too easy and it won't mean
much and a man won't feel like he's accomplished anything that amounts
to much. Any force whether natural or man-made which gets in the way of a
man cutting out his place in this world stops him from reaching his
destiny and maturing into what God intended for him to be.
A natural
force is something a man can deal with but man-made that is another
thing. I hear in Cliven's words the frustration that any man can
identify with in that he has his life and he realizes the wealth of it,
that what God has gifted to him and his family is worth more that gold
and silver. Cliven has purpose and his efforts benefit so many people.
He can raise cattle, bring them to the buyers and at some point some of
his cattle help to feed our military, families who are growing and
patients in hospitals who need good food for nourishment and healing and
Cliven has risen to that need and does it in a part of the world where
many of us (myself included) would have no clue where to begin. For
others they will see the struggle of government oppression and the
frustration of not being heard as a part of American society, a
Constitution stepped upon and liberty being stolen from us and the blood
of our forefathers spat upon and I would be right there with you and I
feel the same things. Another side to this is a halting of what God set
in motion for Cliven and all the Bundys, people wanting to live their
life and be one with their God through the struggle He has offered to
them, it is a gift and the Bundys enjoin with God in that struggle and
together it is a success and that, THAT! is what life is really all
about. Joining with God not apart from Him and we share in His struggle
as much as He shares in ours and together it is a success and no amount
of money can replace that feeling of being a part of your Heavenly
Father's plan and finding your place and purpose. Thank you God for
Cliven Bundy and for any and all who do the same every day, for it is
those individuals who live life truly and with purity of heart and give
the rest of us a taste of what is good.
Psalm 34: 8 ; Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
