How much is your soul worth? I have a ton, yes a ton of stinkin' cash and I would like to buy your soul. 1 billion? 100 million? 1 million? Maybe a $100 or better yet about a Big Mac and some fries. Do you even believe that we have a soul? To those outside the light of Jesus Christ, a soul could mean many things. Some believe life is precious and to be loved and respected by all. While others believe that the worlds population is out of control and must be radically reduced. Some believe in good while others proclaim relativity. Again, outside a relationship with Christ, life must seem like a hopeless, meaningless, and painful journey. So, my question is then to that Christian reader: What is the value, the price of a soul who doesn't know Jesus. How much money do we spend to save a lost soul?
Well, great question. I believe its a trick question. No...no tricks here. Well, how can buy a soul? You can and why not? Satan buys souls all the time. So let me ask you. If you knew that it would only cost you $155 to send a kid to camp where they would be introduced to the message of salvation, would you write the check? If you knew that it would take $3000 and 5 years to have your colleague come to know Christ is that a good investment of your money? My point is this, in God's eye every soul is PRICELESS! No amount of silver or gold could buy a soul. Only the power of Jesus Christ and His redeeming blood can "buy" a lost soul. And even then, its freewill; its up to the individual to accept Christ's love and forgiveness.
But here is the challenge. Eating out for one month or sending a kid to camp. One less day on vacation or sponsoring a Compassion child. Going to the movies or taking a sandwich to a homeless man? Tough questions. The worn phrase that the marketers made their money on rings very true now; "What would Jesus Do?" Pretty tough question but lets get real, no lets get dirty. You see that homeless guy with his hungry dog by a corner in downtown Denver, do you pass, humming the latest Michael W Smith song. Thankfully convincing yourself you didn't see him. Maybe you drop him a quarter and say "God Bless." How Christian of you! Try going up to him, ask him his name. Can you imagine not saying your name for months?...Give the man a hug and tell him no matter how bad its gets or how cruel this world is...that there is a friend named Jesus who loves him and will take him as he is!~ AS HE IS...no matter what he smells like, no matter how he talks, and no matter what weight of burden he has. JESUS LOVES HIM...and you know what Christian brothers and sisters..We need to love him too. His soul is more important than our poker game, our Sunday golf lesson, or the leather in my BMW. His soul is more important than your Coach bag, your nails, and the latest news on a celebrity. God doesn't abhor nice things only when it gets in the way of seeing Him. We think we have it all together, we are BLESSED Christians, God wants us to have these materialistic things. Please do not pursue the best of this world only to lose your soul to eternity. Thank God someone cared about Mother Theresa or Billy Graham; what rich fruit they have produced. How much were there souls? How much is a soul worth too you?...what are you doing about it?

Is there Anybody Out There?
Welcome to America. Stay as long as you like…there is no one home. Gone are the days of common folk caring what direction their beloved USA is heading. Squandered is the blood that our men and women are spilling today and yesteryear. We stand and care more for the autopsy results of our current worshipped Prima Donna than the orphanage on Main Street that is closing. Our families don’t talk to each other rather we slide down into the filth but comfort of our easy chairs as the government feeds our minds what they deem we should care about. Our children lap it up like a dog laps the sweat off its master’s skin.
We stand for nothing. Our spines have no more strength than a wet noodle. We are commanded by a monarch who we worship as a messiah as he tears down everything that was great and replaces it with socialism and tyranny. But as I look to the North Tower, there is no lights, no warning signs. Our patriots are sleeping. The parties separate us and divide us while the media confuses us. We are downsize and then trivialized as we watch our great companies compromised and then nationalized. All in the name of progress, for its own carnivorous sake. These times of turmoil our churches should be full and loud. Yet they are closing, sitting there silent and scared. Relative to nobody.
Sacrifice. Sacrifice is the only answer. We must be brave enough to stand against this wave of evil. Stand together we must. Who will be our new Sons of Liberty?

The Poor Persecuted Evangelicals
REMEMBER...
In a world, a time, not so long ago, Jews were exterminated...Now, across the world Evangelical Christians are being persecuted and butchered. Places like the Sudan, Myanmar, Belarus, and China to name just a few. We sleep under the veil of protection from this cruelty. But the veil is slowly being lifted. As our nation swings to pure socialism directed by the great Marxist Messiah himself, the constitution is slowly being made irrelevant. In this trillion dollar bailout there are restrictions in the legislation that no religious function or organization will receive any of it. How many great faith based charities will be affected? We have our monuments, our clever wristbands reminding us of WWJD or Thrive from Lance Armstrong yet we are blind to what is going on around us. As a nation our young people has chosen a generational drug called ignorance. Their myspace world as influenced their desire to be good world citizens at the price of American sovereignty. The baby boomers after having their 401-K's wiped out are angry but at who...since it was their fellow rich boomers that cleaned their clocks and stole the future of the US. Then there is me. My generation of X'ers, slackers, BIG talkers. We stink of materialism so bad that many of us will push to be in front of the line to take the Mark of the Beast, just so that we don't miss a meal. We stand for nothing and are scared of everything. We would soon just use 2 band aids on a paper cut then to mend the wounds from protesting a crazed Denver policeman. Side Bar: Don't protest here in Denver, they have a cozy FEMA detention center downtown in one of the warehouse buildings. But as long as you love OBAMA you will be fine...
So many Christians here in the United States are essentially divided into groups. The knowledgeable Sunday morning Christians who abide by the laws and try to be a good Christian every day. Has there been a change in their behavior and the experience of salvation? Or have they been a part of a legalistic upbringing full of structure and rules that is void of Love. Is this true Christianity? Then there is the Christian who lives for Jesus, who in his or her heart loves Him and whose life changed after receiving the gift of salvation. Free from the bondage of sin and free in spirit; a very happy day indeed. Which is correct or is both. Neither group wants to suffer but is one prepared better than the other? Are we counting on the rapture. Will the Christians here in the United States suffer like the rest of the world. Or will be driving in our nice cars from our nice shopping malls with our nice brand name clothing when we hear the rooster crow over the radio. Brothers and sisters, LISTEN, there are those Christian brothers and sisters hurting NOW, be happy you had a period where God has blessed you. But the time has begun where there are many who need you, your blessings to help with their need. Show the world the love of Christ. You will be hated for it by your neighbor but store up your treasures in Heaven and not here on earth. The bible tells us that rust and moth will decay what we value on earth. Love people not things!
Soon...the government, and yes a one world government will ask for our loyalty. Caesar will want it all. Choose Christ or your current quiet lifestyle. Choose Christ or your friends and family. Choose Jesus or the lives of those who are precious and those you love.
Those brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, moms and dads who don't know Jesus. Time is running out...DO SOMETHING! what can be more important then to pray for them and tell them about the saving grace of Jesus Christ!!

Here is a $100 to go away, I just Can't get Dirty
"There is an old man sitting next to me..." drinking, coughing, smells like a broken public urinal covered in 4 layers of blankets with feces and sludge caked in. Essential: kept him warm on the unforgiving freezing Colorado streets. He makes a move to talk, and I am already grabbing my wallet. There was a time I did well and didn't care if it was easier for me( a rich man) or some dumb-ass camel to make it through an eye of a needle than see the kingdom of heaven. But I digress back to Mr. Homeless man. Here is a $20 to leave me alone. "Thank you sir, may God bless you." Yeah you too buddy.
Now I am one paycheck away from being homeless...God has taken away much so I don't lose my soul. Amen.
No job...No alternative stock options, no spousal income. Just faith, the occasional project and a little help from family and friends. Money tight...very tight. Thankfully, my Christian brothers of only modest means have been willing to get dirty in my life. Not only help monetarily but to invest their time and energy on helping me get mentally straight, focused on God, and loving and helping my fellow humanity. You know, its a good change.
But here is what pisses me off. Another friend of mine in similar markets...His business that has been a great success over the last 10 years is falling apart for many reasons. Divorce, fall out, down turn in the market and the overall economy are some of the culprits. His mentors and friends in the business were many. One makes a cool million a year and the other is close to that. My friends made close to six figures but lost much of it in an on going bloody divorce. He poured his heart out, took a risk in telling these guys what is going on in his life and not even an offer of a loan nor prayer. Nothing...Their response..."keep working hard, plug away" You see man...you just have gotten too dirty for us to mess with you. The Rich LOVE CLEAN CHRISTIANITY. SMOOTH EASY SUNDAY CHRISTIANITY. Praise God! Support a village there and some missionaries over here while your brother you call "friend" slowly dies a dirty lonely death because you don't believe in a local hand up? Open your eyes people, as the economy worsens, more of your brothers and sisters are going to need you.
***More and more of us are what we call subprime citizens...the working poor, or the middle class spiriling down into the bastions of poverty... And we look into your eyes and say, "Brother remember the good times, can I get a little help?) No, son...your too dirty for us to get involved. Come back when your clean. We deal in the clean kind.

And Forgive Me
God...Need a new car (BMW or Benz of course)
God...forgive Avery for the swearing and her the way she dresses.
God...thank you for this food and be with the poor...as long as they stay away from the country club.
Can the rich see the kingdom of heaven? (should I have capitalize the "H"?, should I repent.
In many people lives, there is a battle going on. Good V. Evil, Truth V. Lies, Hope V. despair, your very soul is being battle for. One minute fear grips you then elation when God picks you up and pushes you to the front again. Its like that dad who when his boy is lying there crying after a tough fall. He dusts him off, gives him a quick pat on the bum and encourages him to go play again. What is God's will for my life. I am not sure but I do know that I am to love the Lord with all my heart, mind, and soul. And Love my neighbor as myself. We were created to worship God. I keep the simple yet awe inspiring command as a foundation when things get crazy. I was wealthy one time and took my eyes off God. He took it all away...and saved my life. Now, there is far more important things then being rich. Doing the best you can, please God and he will reward you but He is very jealous and will take it all away rather then lose His child. I think prosperity gospel is whacked. There is so much hurt and poor out there...it saddens me as the BMW gets caught at the light and they roll the windows up before the vet can ask for a quarter.
750 Billion bailout for banks...most went out of country. Yet so many representatives voted against the bill...We have no leadership, no representation. We need to wake up, educate ourselves, and take action. One day we will turn off the T.V. find its too late...sadly most of us will just turn the T.V. back on for our E and ESPN.
Zombies Unite, give us our prescription plan and numb the pain. For there is only ONE that can heal your pain. One that can give you NEW LIFE!
