Christians, in order to be like Jesus, or to become a better Christian,  you might want to open up God’s Word at least sometimes and read it.

I am not talking about Sunday morning worship in the church you attend, when you open that Bible up to impress the person sitting next to you.
I am talking about opening it up when no one is looking and reading it.

Think about what you read.

See what God is telling you, because that is one way he talks to you.

Try it, read one passage and lay it down, go through your day, it will stay with
you.

If you do not understand it, ask God for understanding and He will walk you through it.

I am not here to preach to you, it may sound like it, but I am not.

I am just here to sound the warning bell to be a watchman.

We better start getting back to God, because that is the only way we are going to fix the problems we have right now. No damn laws these politicians come up with will fix the deep dung we are in now.

And do not look to most of our faith leaders because from where I am standing they are about as screwed up as the the ones in Washington. They want to preach from the Bible, but most will not stand on Biblical principles. They want to preach and twist the Bible to today’s society, by what is in a poll, or what they hear in the news.  They are either afraid of losing people sitting in their church– which means lost money– or they are afraid of losing their tax status.

Either way it is about money not God.

If you do not believe me then how do you explain 2012 election. You have over 4 million so called Conservative Christians that just stayed home and did not vote because Romney was not a Christian or Conservative enough.

And BHO/Obama is?

What the hell is wrong with us?

Look at the 6.4 million Christians that went to the voting booth and pulled the lever for a man/Obama that sponsors the death of a child. I am not talking just abortion but I am talking about partial birth abortion– and for all you people with your heads up your ass, that’s when the baby is in the birth canal and they suck the brains out to MURDER the baby. He also supports that if the baby survives a late term abortion– then it OK to just MURDER the child. This what is going on now in the Kermit Gosnell trial in PA right now.

But abortion is for the next article.

I am talking about a person and principles and becoming a better person in this article.

I struggle with this ever day because even though I am not for abortion because of  Biblical principles– I would never take that right away from you (it is called freewill).

But It crosses my mind every day that a lot of  people I see in the news or on a blog or politicians the way they are acting are trying to take my freewill away, that maybe they should have been aborted.

My heavenly Father please forgive me for that thought.

If you say you are standing on Biblical  principles– then how the hell do you stand with what is going on today and not say anything?

We can not have it both ways.  Either you stand on Biblical principles  or you are usurping the Bible.

So either we are standing with God or we are standing for self.

Putting self first is not a good thing, You might want to think that one thru just a little.

Always ask “FOR EACH ACTION I TAKE HOW WILL I ANSWER GOD?”.

Also READ THE BIBLE!

I got this from the web the other day in an email so I decided to post
it.

Were is the outcry from Americans?

Why do we let our government crap
all over us?

I am a Christian and I for  one am getting damn tired of our government blowing smoke up our back-sides.

It is all being down to getting votes, or pandering to some special interest group.

Just think how our economy would be going now on let say $1.00 a gallon
gas.
PLEASE READ WHAT IS BELOW AND PAST IT ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.

OIL – You better be sitting down when you read this!
Williston is like a gold rush town; they moved one of our 40 man camps
down there since there are no rooms available.

Unemployment in ND is the lowest in the nation at 3.4 percent last I
checked.  See anything in the national news about how the oil industry is fueling
North Dakota ‘s economy? Here’s an astonishing read. Important and verifiable information:
About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and
one of the Forbes Bros.was the guest. The host said to Forbes, “I am going to ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer;  how much oil does the U.S. have
in the ground?”
Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, “more than all the Middle East put
together.”
The U. S.. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only
scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big.
It was a revised report (hadn’t been updated since 1995) on how much oil
was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South
Dakota, and extreme eastern Montana.

Check THIS out: The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska ‘s Prudhoe Bay , and has the potential to  eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil.
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion
barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable( 5 billion barrels),
at $107 a barrel,  we’re looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion. “When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor.
They had no idea..” says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature’s financial analyst.
“This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years,” reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette . It’s a formation known as the Williston Basin , but is more commonly referred to as the ‘Bakken.’  It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada For years, U. S. oil exploration has been considered a dead end.Even the ‘Big Oil’ companies gave up searching for major oil wells
decades ago.  However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken’s
massive reserves, and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL !!!!!!
That’s enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years straight. And if THAT didn’t throw you on the floor, then this next one should -because it’s from 2006 !!!!!!
U.. S. Oil Discovery – Largest Reserve in the World Stansberry Report Online – 4/20/2006
Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world.  It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction.  In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted.  With this mother-load of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore
drilling? They reported this stunning news:  We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth.

Here are the official estimates:
8 times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
18 times as much oil as Iraq
21 times as much oil as Kuwait
22 times as much oil as Iran
500 times as much oil as Yemen
and it’s all right here in the Western United States !!!!!!

HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our
economy. WHY? James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we’ve got more oil in
this very compact area than the entire Middle East , more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped.   That’s more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world
today, reports   The Denver Post.

Don’t think ‘OPEC’ will drop its price even with this find? Think again! It’s all about the competitive marketplace, it has to.Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?
Got your attention yet? Now, while you’re thinking about it, do this: Pass this along. If you don’t take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you complain about gas prices, by doing NOTHING, you forfeit your right to complain. Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you sent this to everyone in your address book.By the way, this can be verified. Check it out at the link below !!!!!!

Let us look at the budget.

They keep talking about these cuts that we are going to have.
Can you tell me how we can go from an annual budget of less than a trillion in 1987 to over a 3 trillion dollars in 2012 with a budget
sort fall each year of the past four years of 1.2 trillion if there
is any cuts. A little lesson the way the federal government works on
what is call baseline budgeting. What that means is no matter how
short the money that is being brought into treasury each year even if
it does not pay for everything that is due each year, each department
in the government will get a least a around a 4 percent of an
increase. Now in good years with more money being taken in to the
treasury each department could get less say a 8% percentage increase
in their budget. Then the very next year not as much money is taken
in to the treasury, then that year that department only gets a 4
percent increase, still an increase just not as much as the year
before. These clowns tell us they cut that budget to that department
4 percent. Please someone tell me just how the hell that is a cut.
The budget still grows each and every year, where is the cut. In a
post name Baseline Budget I posted an article that explain baseline
budget and where it came from.

Look how many times they
tell us anymore that if we do not do this or that the whole world
will collapse. Then out of thin air we are saved by something they do
or say. George Bush said I had to abandon my free market principles
to save the free market. Listen to that statement is that not the
dumbest thing we heard but we went right along with it in the
Republican party. Oh my they save us and took more money,dump in to
special interest groups and we though they were just the best they
saved us, along putting money putting our money in their cronies
pockets. Now before you say I didn’t agree with it, well what the
hell did you do to stop it. Oh I know we elected Obama, that will
show them. This president says if we don’t pass the 800 billion
stimulus package then the whole world will fall into ruin.
Unemployment will jump to 15 to 20 percent . It was for green jobs,
roads, shovels ready jobs, it was going to save us again. Well what
happen to all the jobs. Oh I know you do not create jobs dishing out
the money to special interest groups. They pass health care, tax
increases, and so many other thing because of they keep saying we
have too. Once these things are enacted we find out it is just more
money going to certain groups. What do we do, we reelected the same
people to keep right on screwing us. Boy we showed them didn’t we. I
would think it is time to put a very tight hold on the jokers we have
in Washington to get us away from this crap. If they do not want to end
base line budgeting then it is time to swept the place clean and start with
people that believe in God and the constitution.

Remember trust God not the government.

Base line budgeting from Wikipeda

Baseline budgeting is an accounting method the United States Federal Government uses to develop a budget for future years.  Baseline budgeting uses current spending levels as the “baseline” for establishing future funding requirements  and assumes future budgets will equal the current budget times the inflation rate times the population growth rate.

[1] Twice a year—generally in January and August—CBO prepares baseline projections of federal revenues, outlays, and the surplus or deficit. Those projections are designed to show what would happen if current budgetary policies  were continued as is—that is, they serve as a benchmark for assessing possible changes in policy. They are not forecasts of actual budget outcomes, since the Congress will undoubtedly enact legislation  that will change revenues and outlays. Similarly, they are not intended to represent the appropriate  or desirable levels of federal taxes and spending.[2] The genesis of baseline budget projections can be found in the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.

That act required the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to prepare
projections of federal spending for the upcoming fiscal year based on a continuation of the existing level of governmental services.  It also required the newly established Congressional Budget Office to prepare five-year projections of budget authority, outlays, revenues, and the surplus or deficit. OMB published its initial  current-services budget projections in November 1974, and CBO’s five-year projections first appeared  in January 1976. Today’s baseline budget projections are very much like those prepared more than  two decades ago, although they now span 10 years instead of five.
The Budget Act was silent on whether to adjust estimates of discretionary appropriations for anticipated changes in inflation. Until 1980, OMB’s projections excluded inflation adjustments for discretionary programs. CBO’s projections, however, assumed that
appropriations would keep pace with inflation, although CBO has also published projections without these so-called discretionary inflation adjustments. CBO’s budget projections took on added importance in 1980 and 1981, when they served as the baseline
for computing spending reductions to be achieved in the budget reconciliation process. The reconciliation instructions contained in the fiscal year 1982 budget resolution
(the so-called Gramm-Latta budget) required House and Senate committees
to reduce outlays  by a total of $36 billion below baseline levels, but each
committee could determine how those savings were to be achieved. The CBO baseline has been used in every year since 1981 for developing budget resolutions and measuring compliance with reconciliation instructions.
The Deficit Control Act of 1985 provided the first legal definition of baseline.
For the most part, the act defined the baseline in conformity with
previous usage. If appropriations had not been enacted for the upcoming fiscal year,
the baseline was to assume the previous year’s level without any adjustment for inflation.
In 1987, however, the Congress amended the definition of the baseline so that discretionary appropriations would be adjusted to keep pace with inflation. Other technical changes, annual increase of now approximately 3% plus inflation, to the definition of the baseline were enacted in 1990, 1993, and 1997.
Presently, the [automatic annual] Baseline Budgeting increase is about 7%. Baseline budget projections increasingly became the subject of political debate and controversy during the late 1980s and early 1990s, and more recently during the 2011 debt
limit debate. Some critics contend that baseline projections create a bias in favor of spending by assuming that federal spending keeps pace with inflation and other factors driving the growth of entitlement programs. Changes that merely slow the growth of federal spending programs have often been described as cuts in spending, when in reality they are actually reductions in the rate of spending growth.
There have been attempts to eliminate the baseline budget concept and
replace it with zero based budgeting, which is the opposite of baseline budgeting. Zero based budgeting requires that all spending must be re-justified  each year or it will be eliminated from the budget regardless of previous spending levels.
According to the Government Accountability Office, a Baseline is as
follows: Baseline “An estimate of spending, revenue, the deficit or surplus, and the
public debt expected during a fiscal year under current laws and current policy. The baseline is a benchmark for measuring the budgetary effects of proposed changes in revenues and spending. It assumes that receipts and mandatory spending will continue or expire in the future as required by law and that the future funding for discretionary programs will equal the most recently enacted appropriation, adjusted for inflation. Under
the Budget Enforcement Act (BEA), to expire at the end of fiscal year 2006, the baseline is defined as the projection of current-year levels of new budget authority, outlays, revenues, and the surplus or deficit into the budget year and out-years based on laws enacted through the applicable date.

CBO Baseline Projected levels of governmental receipts (revenues), budget authority,
and outlays for the budget year and subsequent fiscal years, which is now approximately 6% increase pr fiscal-year, assuming generally that current policies remain the same, except as directed by law. The baseline is described in the Congressional Budget Office’s
(CBO) annual report for the House and Senate Budget Committees, The Budget and Economic Outlook, which is published in January. The baseline, by law, includes projections for 5 years, but at the request of the Budget Committees, CBO has provided such projections for 10 years. In most years the CBO baseline is revised in conjunction with CBO’s analysis of the President’s budget, which is usually issued in March, and again during the summer.
The “March” baseline is the benchmark for measuring  the budgetary effects of proposed legislation under consideration by Congress.”

Why is it so easy for us to believe in conspiracy, lies and so on? Even if we check out the lie or conspiracy we still have a hard time not believing it. Why is
that? We listen to so called experts and they tell us what they think. These experts could be a Hollywood star that was in a movie
and all of sudden they are experts. Musicians, they sell some records, now they become experts in something. We almost always listen to famous people or someone on a blog, or a politician, or even your faith leaders.

We get some star standing and saying we need to do something about global warning. What are they now an expert because they played one in a movie and now we hang on their every word? Why? We get another so called actor that now says this president is the boss and him and his wife are like our parents and we should listen to them. And what do we do we read his garbage and just think this person is just the best for giving to the peasants some brilliant knowledge, and idiots in the media put it up for us to read. Then we run right out and go to his next movie. Why? We listen to faith leaders and preachers tell us that abortion and homosexuality is a social issue and what do we do sit right there in that church and do nothing or say anything. We just keep putting money in their collection plate. Why?
We set and listen to hypocrites in the news media (no matter which channel we have on) tell us a pack of lies and crap in order to further their agenda and what do
we do set right there and the next day we turn the same ones back on. Why?

Now who’s fault is that? It is ours, we made the choice to re-elect someone, we made the choice to listen to someone, we made the choice to go watch some movie and
support that very actor that just talked about something dumb that we do not agree with. We make the choice to return to that church that is preaching that we know in our hearts is not correct. Why?
How about we just say to hell with political correctness. Let us start talking– let us not be so thin skinned. Let us try not to be offended by someone else’s opinion.

Just a little info for you, for everyone of these people that try to blow smoke up your
backside, they are humans just like you or me– none of them is God or Jesus. They put their pants on the same way as you do one leg at a time. They are no smarter than we are if we just use what God gave us (brains) and apply some common sense. What they are telling a lot of time are opinions, and opinion are like rectums , and everyone has one. Do your own homework and make sure you get your information from a good source. Then check them also. If you want the best source read the Bible, everything can be found in there, if you spend some time looking.

LISTEN TO JESUS HE IS YOUR SAVIOR AND LORD HE WILL NOT LEAD YOU OFF  TRACK.
