Excellent Review on the Hunger Games

Dear readers,
Are you thinking about seeing the Hunger Games?  This is by far the best review out there that I know of.  Listen to it even if you're not interested in watching the movie.  This is the direction our country is going.

A reflection on our godless society

It is a sad commentary on culture when we watch children killing children in the name of entertainment.  

Readers, PLEASE do NOT see Hunger Games.  Even if everyone else thinks it's great.  Take a stand and see the movie for what it really is -- pure wickedness.  Check out this link to learn more.  http://www.movieguide.org/reviews/movie/the-hunger-games.html

The forgotten Working man

This picture speaks for itself. 

This is the sad Truth.

This is a pretty amazing painting done by artist Jon McNaughton. A larger picture can be found on the internet and the artist's meaning of the painting. The large piece of paper Obama is stepping on is the constitution, the loose dollars are symbolizing the worthlessness of our currency.  The man symbolizes every working American.

Waiting on the Lord :)

Though we see not our signs, though there is none to tell us how long, yet let us resolve to wait, how long soever it may be; for though what God doth we know not now, yet we shall know hereafter when the mystery of God shall be finished.  Though it be a stormy day, yet we must wait upon God all the day. Though we are not only becalmed, and do not get forward, but though the wind be contrary, and drive us back; nay, though it be boisterous, and the church be tossed with tempests, and ready to sink, yet we must hope the best, yet we must wait, and weather the storm by patience. It is some comfort that Christ is in the ship; the church’s cause is Christ’s own cause, he has espoused it, and he will own it; he is embarked in the same bottom with his people, and therefore why are you fearful? 

To wait on God, is—

1. To live a life of desire towards God; to wait on him as the beggar waits on his benefactor, with earnest desire to receive supplies from him, as the sick and sore at Bethesda’s pool waited for the stirring of the water, and attended in the porches with desire to be helped in and healed.

2. It is to live a life of delight in God, as the lover waits on his beloved. Desire is love in motion, as a bird upon the wing; delight is love at rest, as a bird upon the nest; now, though our desire must still be so towards God, as that we must be wishing for more of God, yet our delight must be so in God, as that we must never wish for more than God.

3. It is to live of dependence on God, as the child waits on his father, whom he has confidence in, and on whom he casts all his care. To wait on God is to expect all good to come to us from him, as the worker of all good for us and in us, the giver of all good to us, and the protector of us from all evil. Thus David explains himself Ps 62:5, “My soul, wait thou only upon God, ” and continue still to do so, for “my expectation is from him.”

4. It is to live a life of devotedness to God, as the servant waits on his master, ready to observe his will, and to do his work, and in everything to consult his honour and interest. To wait on God is entirely and unreservedly to refer ourselves to his wise and holy directions and disposals, and cheerfully to acquiesce in them, and comply with them. The servant that waits on his master, chooseth not his own way, but follows his master step by step. Thus must we wait on God, as those that have no will of our own but what is wholly resolved into his, and must therefore study to accommodate ourselves to his.

---from Matthew Henry’s “Communion with God.”

This is a verse that has really been an encouragement to me:   Psalm 27:14  "Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD."

Waiting on the Lord is one of the main things I learned last year.  And when He does strengthen your heart it is the most wonderful thing!  I hope this was a blessing to you in your walk with the Lord. And remember, waiting on Him isn't always easy;  in fact, it rarely is, but it is always worth it!   Remember, His plan is always best!  :) --Tiffany
