I know that it sounds great to say that we are going to provide health care for all Americans. Speaker Pelosi compared the latest health care bill to Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid, two of the biggest issues during every election cycle.
Politicians love to tell how they are going to fix these two entitlements (as POTUS called them during his campaign). I am afraid we have had a rash of programs from liberals because of the vote buying power that comes with the promises that they make.
We have seen the lack of accountability the state run news media has given Obama, "the candidate didn't know what it would take to fix the problem. We need to give him more time" Barbra Walters said. I get sick and tired of all the pandering given to the left by our so called free press. The only press that is making money is the right wing of the establishment. No one wants to hear the left and the ones that do don't pay for anything or buy anything but McDonald's so there is no advertising base for the liberal networks to raise funds.
The same is true when you put everyone on the government dole. Who is going to pay all these taxes? Who is going to cover the bill for all these lazy's to get free health care? Not them! It will be; Your kids! Your boss! You!
What are we going to do with ourselves now that this monster has passed? First we need to go to the polls and remove the offending appendages. Next we need to realize that we are not going to get anything done with this or any other government that has any real lasting value.
Our only hope is coming close to God. How far are you from God. If you called His name would He know it was you, of have you said "god" so regularly while cussing that He has disregarded your voice? God wants to be close to you! God wants you to want to be close to Him. The ultimate long term health care is a system that will last for eternity.
Do you have your eternity covered? Romans 3:23 says "All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God".
We often think we are good enough to get to heaven but it doesn't matter how good we are we will never come close to the standards that God has for His children. We know His Son was perfect. We can bridge that gap between God and man with the help of Jesus.
Say that name, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Ask Him to guide you to the King. Only He can bring you the health that will get you to the finish line.
Romans 10:13 Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Not on my watch
1Timothy 6:6-10 (HCSB)
6 But godliness with contentment is a great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these. 9 But those who want to be rich fall into temptation, a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.
God calls us to exercise great restraint in our lives so we will show the world that the Gospel is not about getting something but giving something.
I just received the Operation Christmas Child magazine and it has faces of kids from all over the world smiling like crazy over the shoe box of stuff that they got from Christians all over the world.
The “Prosperity Gospel” is taught on television. It is deceptive and makes claims that you will be healed, forgiven, blessed, rich… if you send in enough money. The pastors have wonderfully coiffed hair and clothes with rhinestones on them (Liberace anyone?). I get the willies when I see these people.
How would one of these men or women take that “Prosperity Gospel” to a third world country that doesn’t have water? I can see them say “give me your goat or chicken and God will give you a country like mine”, or any other thing that he can say to transfer their wealth to him or her.
My question, “What about their pain and suffering their lack of water, food and meds? Their answer “give it to me and you will be blessed”. The person that is hungry or dying from lack of nutrition can’t even imagine having food two times a day let alone a car or a country like ours. Christ’s message isn’t about getting something it is about giving something.
Love God, love your neighbor and serve both.
We are going to have a “don’t go to church” Sunday in a couple of weeks. We are going to go to some nursing homes and we are going to do a stream clean at Pole Cat Creek. We need to reach out to the people that are hurting and far from God. When God picks them up and brushes off their scuffed up knees they will be more productive members of God’s Kingdom because they will have seen what Christ can do for them spiritually. They won’t be expecting a car or a house but as they wash the sin out of their lives they will see that they can have those things with hard work instead of hard partying.
The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, even for pastors and T.V. preachers.
Prayer for today: Please Lord, keep me out of the devils hands and help me get out of debt. (It’s a New Day; day9)
