Lora and I were discussing the "Kingdom of Heaven" on our walk last night and we got quite entrenched in our discusion as we are both in the book of Matthew. I'd like some comments ,corrections , or opinions on this view I have.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like.....


Many people speak of Jesus as there Savior but not so much there Lord , leaving them to trust in His sacrifice but not modeling his examples or sanctifing there own personal lives.
I believe JESUS is LORD and Savior. As our Lord if every person in the world followed Jesus's teaching on righteousness and servitude the "Kingdom of Heaven" would be here.
Not that we are without sin here , but that we sincerely try to remove it as much as we can from our lives (not so ironically , if we do as Jesus says and put others needs ahead of our own many of these sins disappear). This attitude of serving and sanctification has to be prevelant in our lives to enter the "Kingdom of Heaven"
Now as we fall short despite our own efforts , Jesus's sacrifice on our behalf becomes MOST important as we learn and admit we just can't do it without Jesus our Lord AND Savior.

Avoid every kind of evil 1- Thess.5:22 (My radical view of movies)

I'm really exposing myself on this topic. I don't expect anyone to agree with me , but I am being honest and sincere. This is how I feel about movies. 1-Real social interaction- When you have family and friends over isn't it nice to visit,listen and talk to each other or play games and interact, making memories along the way as opposed to watching a screen for hours and saying "Shh, Shh" every time someone tries to converse with you? 2- Movies are my right eye a) sex- Over the years of raising young children many times people have said "It's a great movie, but don't let your kids watch it"....My kids? my kids? What about me? Is it really a good thing for me to watch Hollywood's beautiful and sexy stars enticing the audience the way only Hollywood knows how to do it? (They do it very well, I might add) Matthew 5:28-29 (New International Version) But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adu...

"Opportunity" by Berton Bradley

After raising three boys I find I'm always telling , not just them , but there friends too,how great it "used to be ". My parents always did the same as they spoke about the "good old days" . Now, I knew my parents "good old days" consisted of the great depression and a world war that saw 50.000.000 people die . Imagine that. Let that sink in awhile. These were the "good old days". Maybe the " good old days" were good ,because, the good Lord gives us "days "at all. And the sweet,sweet people around us are among the greatest gifts of all His creation. My parents pictures of "the good old days" always consisted of lots of people, in a very small room. Anyway,I get caught up in thinking about the past . This is not good for the next generation ,who have there whole lives stretched out before them. When I was young and in despair my mother shared this book of poems with me .It was at a time, like today ,wh...
