Defend the Conscience Clause!

Pray earnestly and sincerely for this nation and the leader that has been given some control of it; he has foolish ideas. How could a man that professes to believe in God be so disobedient (i understand we all have failures that were trying to conquer, but keep these following things in mind please). Romans 1 has been violated in many ways, but especially today around 12 pm.

"The Iowa Supreme Court unanimously rejected a state law Friday that banned same-sex marriage, and opponents wasted little time in pushing for a state constitutional amendment that could send the issue to voters."

"Good morning, my name is Kate Varnum, and I'd like to introduce you to my fiance, Trish Varnum. I never thought I'd be able to say that.".... As if that makes a difference in their "relationship."


----
Defend the Conscience Clause!

On April 9th Mr. Barak Obama is attempting to move one more step farther from God. Pray that his intentions are over looked, and that all Christians will stand for truth through these trying times. He's trying to pass a law that states that every Doctor has to perform an abortion no matter what their belief is.

Proverbs 6:16 "there are six things the Lord Hates, yes seven are an abomination to him: Haughty eyes, a lying toungue, And HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD."
Firstly pray that the law will not be passed and secondly that the current Doctors WILL NOT participate and be willing to give up their jobs than to support such a ridiculous law (Exodus 1:15-22, the Hebrew Midwives we able to defy the kings command, American doctors can do the same thing, and if not they are foolish and selfish).

ALthough these may be minor issues to some, these events could foreshadow worse things that could become lawful.

Be willing to stand through all of it...

Philippians 1:29-30 "For to you it has been granted for Christ's sake,not only to believe in Him but to also suffer for His sake, experiencing the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me."

Anyone that supported or supports this man should probably be ashamed...

(If you would like to attempt to make some form of a stand go to ACLJ.org.)

    I totally agree, I have no idea. 4-5 years ago in Iowa that would be the last thing I expected. However, I really feel like Iowa is changing a lot. It used to be really conservative & such, but it seems like the young people are all extremely liberal and its filtrating into the government.

I've been enlightened by Guy N. Woods, thanks to him i have a whole knew understanding of what Psalm 119:160a and how it applies to scriptures... "The sum of your word is truth." Simply put he said... Just as Romans 5:12 + Psalm 51:5 = Original Sin, so does 1 Timothy 5:16 + James 1:27 = Orphanages and Institutionalism... (sigh...)
---
Although his concept does hold truth (the plan of salvation), the fact that he took passages out of context to come to that conclusion of a sponsoring church was wrong.

Before doing addition with scripture always consider the context of the passage.

Sorry, random thought of the day. :)

It's been a long time since i posted... Obvious Observation.

----
As Hannah has posted, yesterday was our one year Anniversary of being engaged. It's been a joy. And although many people may think we're naive, immature or maybe crazy for being engaged for two years until marriage, i believe it's been a blessing, and now it's only one year until we do get married. :)

Even though we've been separated from each other all throughout our relationship i feel extremely close to her, our communication skills, trust and patience have been tested and will be continually. We've learned to understand each other just by the sounds of a voice.

Thanks to God and my parents especially i have been able to have more understanding of what a servant is and what faith in God really means. Being able to understand that God will provide in some way (Psalm 34, Matthew 6, Luke 12) through situations in life is comforting.

"The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him" (ps 34:7).

----
School is going wonderfully, i've been blessed in countless ways this semester.

Mr. Peelers classes have been very encouraging. I'm thankful that i have him as a teacher, he's a great example to his students.

----
Up coming events Lord willing.

April 30 - May 2, Emerson Brown, Isaac Munoz, Allen Collins, Philip Hamilton and I will hike a portion of the Appalachian Mountains.

May 3 - I'll see Hannah for one day before heading Back Home:)

May 4 - I'll be back home and starting work again with Morgan and with the landscaping company.

May 23 - I'll see Hannah Again

August 22? - Starts my Senior year of College.

October 13th - I'll be an uncle:)

JUNE 4 2010 .... I'll Be married... :)

----
God Bless you all.

Study and Praise God Continually

As David wrote in Psalm 34:1
"I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth."

    You are a great encouragement to me, brother, by the example you set with your relationship with Hannah (even though I have never met her). I hope and pray that you both will continue to find fulfillment, grow in our Lord, and use your relationship to bring honor to His Name always. Can't wait till we can conquer the rugged mountains for a few days.

Thanksgiving was a wonderful time. It was great to see my whole family again. It was strange to be "out of the loop." But i loved it.

I was able to pick up Hannah from WV on the way and she came to my house for thanksgiving, this was a great blessing. Being 953 miles from the one who will be by myside for the rest of my life for four months was...Ridiculous. Patience is on my mind continuously.

I found out that She's a great co-pilot while driving:)(we never arrived to ripley).

Winter Break starts soon and then i'll see Hannah again:)
I have a strong desire to Kayak....

    Fun list. I'd invite you to come up here to Kayak, but it's hard to kayak on hard water. We could always find a hill to go down with it.
