FEELIN BREEZY AS THE WIND...
HERE ARE PICS OF ME ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT MY BROTHER'S HOUSE. HE HAS A BEAUTIFUL BACKYARD WITH AWESOME VIEWS...ONE THING I CAN SAY ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA, IS THAT THERE ARE SO MANY PICTURESQUE VIEWS. SO SINCE WE'RE ON THE TOPIC OF SUNDAYS, WE ALL KNOW MOST PEOPLE ATTEND CHURCH ON SUNDAYS, MYSELF BEING ONE OF THEM. NOW LATELY I HAVEN'T BEEN AS REGULAR AS I SHOULD, BUT I DO ATTEND. BUT I JUST WANT TO ADDRESS THE FACT THAT BACK IN THE BIBLE DAYS THERE WERE PROPHETS. WHEN DID WE GET IN TO THE ERA OF PASTORS AND PREACHERS? TO ME THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO...PROPHETS LEAD PEOPLE TO CHRIST WITHOUT ANY PERSONAL GAIN. THERE MAIN GOAL WAS TO UNITE SAINTS WITH GOD WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATION OF PERSONAL GAIN. PREACHERS AND PASTORS (YES THEY'RE THE SAME) THEY CLAIM TO BE UNITING PEOPLE AND STEERING THEM TOWARDS CHRIST, BUT IT SEEMS THAT THEY'RE NOT LEADING PEOPLE TOWARDS CHRIST. THEY ARE TEACHING THE CONGREGATIONS TO WORSHIP MONETARY SUBSTANCES AND WORLDLY POSSESSIONS. AND WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS, WHY IS THAT THE HERDS OF PEOPLE WHO LISTEN TO THESE MESSAGES HANG BY THE EVERY WORD OF THESE PEOPLE...THEY ARE NOT HELPING YOU FIND YOURSELF IN CHRIST. WHAT BRINGS UPON THESE THOUGHTS, IS A CONVERSATION THAT I HAD WITH MY FRIEND THIS MORNING...WE WERE DISCUSSING A ROAD TRIP THAT WE'RE PLANNING TO TAKE NEXT WEEK, SHE STATES THAT SHE DOES NOT WANT TO DRIVE HER CAR BECAUSE IT'S A V6, BUT THEY WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR ( A 2008 V8 GT MUSTANG SUPREME). HOW MUCH SINCE DOES THAT MAKE? NONE. IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME BECAUSE I LOVE MY CAR, I LOVE DRIVING IT, I LOVE TAKING CARE OF IT AND I LOVE THAT I WORK AND HAVE WORKED HARD TO PAY FOR IT. SO SHE MAKES THE COMMENT THAT HER PASTOR, PREACHED ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE THAT IN HIS SERMON SUNDAY. HE STATES THAT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT GO OUT AND BUY V6'S AND V8 CARS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ECONOMICAL NOR PRACTICAL (I'M NOT QUOTING HIM B/C I'M SURE HIS MESSAGE HAD MUCH MORE OF AN ANGLE). WHAT I FIND TO BE THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN ONE GOES OUT TO BUY A V6 OR A V8 AUTOMOBILE, THEY NEED TO FIRST CONSIDER THE FACT THAT GAS PRICES ARE GOING TO BE MUCH MORE STEEPER THAN A 4-CYLINDER CAR. SO WE'VE ALREADY FACTOR HIGHER GAS PRICES IN THE UPKEEP OF OUR UNPRACTICAL VEHICLES. SECONDLY, HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN THE PASTOR'S ECONOMICAL AUTOMOBILES? HUMM...I'VE NEVER WITH MY OWN BIG BROWN EYES, IN 24 YEARS SEEN A PASTOR/PREACHER, DRIVING A HONDA CIVIC OR A DODGE NEON OR EVEN A HYBRID CAR. SO IS ANYONE TO TELL A CONGREGATION THAT THEY SHOULD GO OUT AND PURCHASE NEWER, CHEAPER VEHICLES TO BE MORE ECONOMICAL? WHY? IS IT THAT WITH RISING GAS PRICES AND A STRUGGLING CONGREGATION THAT YOUR OFFERING PLATES WITH BEGIN TO BE BARE? HUMM... HOWEVER, I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST CHURCH OR RELIGION. BUT, I DO BELIEVE THAT RELIGION AND GOD IS WITHIN YOU! DO NOT LET SOMEONE DICTATE HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE.
