God Wants to Save Christians from an Economic Disaster

The Cross | What Jesus Did

Originally uploaded by Ricketts Fish

My personal financial advisor Eric sent me this info about our economy’s economic disaster:

  •  ”2 staight quarters with Gross Domestic Product lower than the previous is the definition of a recession.
  • The unemployment rate rose to 6.8% this past quarter.
  • The auto industry (Ford, GM and Chrysler and all parts producers and suppliers) employs about 10% of the U.S Work force.”

Is God judging our nation?

 So I will hand over my holy mountain—
      along with all your wealth and treasures
      and your pagan shrines—
   as plunder to your enemies,
      for sin runs rampant in your land.
 4 The wonderful possession I have reserved for you
      will slip from your hands.    Jeremiah 17:3-4

This Sunday I will be teaching on Jeremiah and focusing on this incredible chapter.  Won’t you join us?

May you find the peace, security and freedom that comes from standing on the sure foundation- Jesus Christ.

Sincerely,

Vincent Klug

“Teens who find their pastor’s sermons relevant to everyday life also are more likely to keep attending as young adults, the research indicated. More of those who stayed in church – by a margin of 63 percent to 42 percent – agreed their pastors’ sermons were relevant. A similar margin said the worship style of the church they attended as teens was appealing to them.”

Sometimes, God may knock us off of our feet to get us to remember what is important.

Review of FireProof

If you are married, or are going to be married, I have three words for you:

 ”Go see it”

 

I laughed, I cried (OK, more than cried- I wept), but most importantly I saw an honest movie about honest and extremely relevant struggles for married couples today and the truth that sets people free. 

It is a beautiful movie- it is art.  And since I believe that beauty and truth are in a strong sense, Jesus- I saw Jesus tonight through the most powerful media in the world.

Two adolescent boys in walmart and a flat tire later, we pulled into the dark campsite.  Night had come and I wasn’t looking forward to putting up our tent in the dark.  As we drove around trying to find a spot to set-up camp we saw some other campers wave to us.  We came around again and pulled over by their spot.  Ben and Andrea were the nicest people you could hope to run into.  They pulled out the map of the campsite and were more than helpful in any way they could (including offering us fire wood) possible be.  I thought to my self how wonderful it is to run into super friendly and happy people.

Jesus for President

Shane spoke with a passion that seemed to come from deep inside.  I found myself drawn into the story.

Him and his friend did a wonderful job presenting a picture of Jesus that today’s youth could really get their “brain around”.

They make a great point that we serve the kingdom of God and not America and that our hope is in the King of Kings and not in any president.  It was inspirational how they communicated that it is the church’s responsibility to care for the less fortunate- and that we shouldn’t rely on the governement for that (though their help is welcomed).
