The Jews are not promoting brain washing the children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims!
The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics or blow themselves up in German restaurants.There is not a single Jew that has destroyed a church. There is not a single Jew that protests by killing people.
The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems. Muslims must ask "what can they do for humankind" before they demand that humankind respects them!!
Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel's part , the following two sentences really say it all:
If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence.If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel.

What Is Love
Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. Touching words from the mouth of babes. What does Love mean? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her
Toe nails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca- age 8
When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5
"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"
Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6
"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore." Cindy - age 8
"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." Clare - age 6
"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine-age 5
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day" Mary Ann - age 4
"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." Lauren - age 4
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." (what an image) Karen - age 7
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." Mark - age 6
"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." Jessica - age 8
And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry"
When there is nothing left but God, that is when you find out that God is all you need.
Father, God bless all my friends in whatever it is that You know they may be needing this day! And may their life be full of your peace, prosperity and power as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with you. Amen

Should We Confront a Brother In Sin?
Should We Confront a Brother in Sin?
Judge Not?Judge not, lest you be judged. . . .
We have all heard it. It is in the Bible, in Matthew 7:1, where Jesus said, "Judge not, that you be not judged."
But let's understand these words contextually. A better translation of the statement would be, "Condemn not, that you be not condemned." In other words, God is the final judge.
He decides who gets into heaven and who does not. Greg Laurie doesn't decide that. You don't decide that. No one else decides that. We are not to condemn, meaning to pass final judgment.
But we are to judge, in the sense of making evaluations—even corrections when necessary—regarding fellow believers. Paul addresses this very subject in 1 Corinthians 5 :I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. . . . For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? (verses 10, 12)
Paul was saying that it is our job to judge those inside the church. But a lot of believers ignore this. They say, "Oh, no. Just be loving." But I would say that they don't really know what love is. Love cares enough to confront.
We are so into loving everyone, not even understanding what the word means, that we have lost our sense of discernment in standing up for what is right. We should do it with compassion, concern, and humility. Yet we should make the stand.

Would You Want to Know?
Last Wednesday I tuned in to watch Oprah because Tyler Perry was a guest, along with Janet Jackson. Oprah was talking to them about Tyler's movie, "Why Did I Get Married?" A movie I can't wait to see by the way. I've seen the stage play and it was great.
Because Janet's character is a counselor, Oprah asked her if she's ever in real life had friends she knew were cheating on a spouse and how did she handle the situation. (The movie is about four couples who spend a week together in the mountains, and one of the couples is having an affair)
Janet's reply was yes, and that she had lost a friendship over it.
She knew the couple and also knew the woman the man was having the affair with, but she felt it was the man's responsibility to "man up" as she put it and confess to his wife. Apparently she had told the man and the woman he was cheating with she knew about the affair. When the wife did find out, not from the husband by the way, she was very angry her friends knew what was going on but did not tell her.
So I have decided to do a poll. If you are married and your spouse was having an affair would you want to know? If others knew about it would you want them to tell you?
There are some women and even men who have said they would not want to know about it, using the old "what you don't know can't hurt you" idea.
I disagree with that.
If anyone knew my husband was cheating I WOULD want to be told. Especially being a christian, it's not just the idea it is wrong, but the person doing the cheating is in danger of losing more than just his or her marriage. It's a soul thing above all else.
What you don't know can and will eventually hurt you. Biblically speaking just as I wrote in my last blog, if someone is involved in "sin" those who know about it are told to confront the person and try to convince them to confess and repent of the behavior. If that person refuses to listen, then we are to take it to the elders of the church.
Aside from this, I want to know how people feel about this. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. If your spouse was cheating...
Would you want to be told? I know I would!

Does A Woman Honestly Have the Right?
I have yet to figure out why the law will charge someone who kills a woman and her unborn child with two counts of murder, yet if the woman herself chooses to kill the child within her it is considered her right. Or better yet, a woman who is pregnant can be arrested for endangerment of a child if she is using drugs or abusing alcohol during pregnancy.
Seems pretty hypocritical! Those who say a woman has the right to decide what happens to her body will say the child is not yet a child, yet those same people will cry out for justice if that child is killed by anyone other than a doctor the mother hires to terminate the child.
If a woman is using drugs alcohol she can be prosecuted for endangering her unborn child. The same unborn child she has the right to have surgically killed and removed from her body. Yet if she goes to a doctor to have this baby killed it is no longer a baby but a mere fetus? What's wrong with this picture?
The child within the womb is just that..a child. When left to grow within it's mother's womb it does not become anything BUT a child. It is not just foreign tissue within the woman's body. It has a heartbeat, it has fingers and toes. It already has within it's DNA physical features of both parents. To call it merely a "fetus" does not make the child any less human, although that is why those who justify the murder of unborn children refer to the baby as a fetus and not a baby.
If the term "termination of a fetus" were with "termination of a baby", people would be less likely to accept this so called woman's right to choose.
When we make that life seem less than human we open the door to something dangerous. Hitler viewed anyone not of his lineage less than human. The atrocities that were done in the holocaust were possible because the Jews were viewed as less than human by the Nazi organization. Slavery was acceptable in the US because certain whites viewed blacks as less than human. We all know this attitude is horribly wrong and most people do not accept it. So why do so many accept the idea an unborn child is less than human until it is actually born? And how can anyone say, let alone believe this child within the womb does not feel the pain of it's body being destroyed?
Most abortions are not done because it is a choice between the mother or the child, or because of rape - they are more for convenience. Abortion has become the new "birth control". We are allowing the murder of babies for convenience. We have become a society that places more value on our selfishness to do what we want when we want than a human life. Again, it is a human LIFE.
There are so many people who want children yet cannot have them. Yet we are allowing the killing of thousands of babies. I heard a woman once say she would rather have an abortion than have the baby and put it up for adoption.
This is the height of selfishness. Taking the life of a child over giving it the chance to live and be loved by a family who would give anything to raise him or her. This kind of rational is just wrong!
It is my personal belief every child conceived is the will of God. God says in Jeremiah 1:5 " Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;" "Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb? Job 31:14-16
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." Psalm 139:12-14
Isaiah 44:2 "This is what the LORD says- he who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you"
Isaiah 44:24 "This is what the LORD says- your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb."
For all anyone knows the person that could have found a cure of cancer was "terminated" because his or her mother decided it was her body and her choice and that child had no value. What if the person who would have found a cure for AIDS has been "aborted"? Just because certain people refuse to see any value in every life conceived does not mean they are right.
I realize there are those who choose not to believe in God, yet even if you do not believe there is a God the fact still remains. An unborn child is indeed a child. Those who say a woman has a right to choose to end her unborn child's life should stop using the rhetoric that "sanitizes" what really happens when a child is aborted/killed. If you really believe it is not a "child" then you have no right to support or insist on laws that punish other's for causing the end of that unborn life in any other form but abortion.
A woman has the right to choose what happens to her body, but that child within is not "her" body. It is a separate living being. IF you really believe in the right to choose, then choose to prevent that pregnancy in the first place. Show some self control, use birth control there are plenty of options.
With freedom and free will come great responsibility. Murder is now and always has been against the law. Call it like it is, the termination-murder of an unwanted child.
