Hypocrisy Teaching From the Master

Ministry of The Shepherds are key to the development of God's Family. Ezk. 34:12 tells us that "...as a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so I will seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day..."

And in John 21:15, Jesus tells Peter to "...feed My lambs...", and in 1 Pet. 5:2-4, "...Shepherd the flock of God which is among you; (that's the American people, Senators and Congressmen), serving as overseers, not by constraint but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly: not as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock: and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away..."

Praise the Lord for the ministry of the Shepherds that God raises up to teach and lead His people to the soon coming Kingdom. May these ministry resources encourage, guide, and strengthen your ever-growing faith in the Christian Way of Life.

With all the backbiting and slanderous talk we hear today in the media and on radio and TV, I might remind people of this Judao-Christian foundation Republic, that God still rules in thekingdom of men and chooses whomever He will to serve in the offices of our great nation. Whether you are a believer or not does not make a difference, it is true none the less. We all havea moral duty to support those God has set in office and to elect those who are of good character and conscience to lead us. Without good upright honest shepherds we will be doomed to fail like all other nations that have rejected God and His Divine Guidance.

A recent poll shows that the TV ads are all negative and slanderous, with one party having 75% negative ads while the other party has 55% negative ads, all of which do not only dishonor God and our country, but the people that are serving Him.

For those of you who are not aware, God gave us two commands that we should love God with all our hearts, and to love our neighborsas ourselves. What I see and hear shows that we need to get rid of the evil that is in congress, as what is being said is not veryneighborly. Murdering babies in the womb is an abomination andcondemned by God.

Jesus said I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. One party advocates murder of babies in the womb and God will hold them responsible for their actions.

The blame game runs rampant. Get the facts before you voteas if you support killing babies in the womb, you too will be heldresponsible for your actions, God is not mocked. You can not say one thing and legislate another, that's hypocritcal, thus the following passages from The Holy Writ.
