Just Thinking?

Waiting for the fire works to begin on the 4th of July a friend and I started a conversation about the recent Supreme court ruling on marriage. To make a long story short here is what we came up with: Like the Catholic Church we believe that marriage is as referred to in the Bible is known to be called; The Holy Sacrament of Marriage. Because it is from the Bible and is Holy and falls under the guidelines of a religious practice; What business does the State (Government, Feds) have in getting their nose into saying what is marriage?
One reason is they have made it a tax by making people having to get a marriage license before getting married. A marriage license is a tax on Religion. When the state stuck their nose into issuing marriage licenses they violated the First Amendment. Where is the ACLUASSES, or whatever they are called, you know those people who do not want us to pray period; on fighting for the separation of church and state on this one?
I was just thinking maybe I should not have been thinking so much. What are your thoughts on this?

Joseph?

Many times I find myself with questions about people I find in the Bible like Joseph the earthy farther of Jesus. The Bible tells me Joseph was a righteous man and so he must have been a good loving husband, and a great farther for Jesus. Jesus being 100% human yet he was still God has some questions that arise in my mind. So if Jesus was 100% human he was also 100% boy. That then would mean someone had to change his diapers, someone had to teach him how to talk, and how to walk. I was a boy once and have raised boys and boys do not look at the world the same way girls do. That too leads me to a whole bunch of new questions. Like:
Was there ever a time when Joseph found Jesus standing in the middle of a puddle of water? Did Joseph then ask Jesus what do think you are doing? Did Jesus reply I am trying to learn how to walk on water. I think there will come a time I may need to do this.?
Did Joseph ever walk into the house when it was pouring rain and ask Mary why is Jesus out in the yard in the rain yelling, peace be still? Mary would reply, You told him practice makes perfect. He thinks he may have to calm a storm someday. Joseph you know boys will be boys!?
Was there a time when Joseph found Jesus sitting beside the road crying holding his dead puppy that just got run over by a chariot? Did Joseph sit down with him and tell him your puppy is in the hands of Yeshua now and will no longer fill any pain? Jesus not a sparrow falls from the sky Yeshua does not see.?
When Jesus had gotten older and was working alongside of Joseph what may have been some of the things Joseph would teach Jesus? Could it have been one day as Joseph and Jesus were walking to work; Joseph said, Look Jesus see how the man puts his hand to the plow? He fixes his eyes on a point ahead of him and he never looks back.?
Another day Joseph may have said, Look Jesus see how the farmer sows his seeds. See how they fall, some fall on the rocky soil, some fall among the thorns, and some fall upon the path, yet there are the ones that fall upon the good soil. Watch and see what happens to the seeds it is the same with Yeshua Word.?
Was there a day at work one day Joseph told Jesus to gather the tools for the man we are working for did not sit down and estimate the money it would take to finish this building.?
I have asked myself and our Abba Father, What kind of man was Joseph.?

Choose Wisely

Who am I?

A grain of sand

Tumbling through

The hour-glass

Of humanity?

Who am I?

A precious stone to be

Polished and cut

For a fit into a crown?

Who am I?

A life form

That evolved

From an ape?

Who am I?

A man that is made?

In the image of

God?

Who am I?

Do I have freewill?

Will I choose wisely?

The Question

When I first saw Your face!

I came over with an amazing grace.

I felt your love abound in me,

with heavenly angels all around

once!

But now I feel You left me behind!

An I just another man gone blind?

 You have made a lame man walk

and a blind man see.

     But why, not for me?

If faith ‘is’ the key then death is the door.

But when You open death’s door

will there be any more?

The ONLY Question truly is,

DO You really exist?

Or are You just a theory,

like those evolutionist’s?

End

Why is death so great?

It will be there for your fate.

Heaven and Hell we surly know.

But where do we belong above or below?

I know its face I know it true.

But when its time it will come for me too.

What Am I

Let me introduce to everyone a new writer that has joined Men of One Accord: a young man I have prayed with and discovered in him a love for writing he goes by the name of Cheddermen, and his new poem:

“What Am I”

I appear as an entity of three,

but those who follow darkness bare their teeth and flee.

I see everything from the beginning to the end.

 I have seen the birth of man,

and lend out my hand.

I came down as a son to do what must be done.

I died on a dusty pole for those who could not pay the toll.

I saved the son of man for he was truly damned.

I am a Spirit in the night but also a beacon of light.

  You have seen all of me the entity of three.

You know who I am the one and only One.

The King Am

I Am.

ACORNS?

Someone once said, “Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while.” That I find is a mystery to be pondered for sure. 

Still yet I find an even greater mystery for pondering: So numberless are the acorns born each year yet all do fall. Countless acorns are gathered by the beasts of the trees, the beasts of field, and the birds of the air. Acorns unnumbered that are carried away and then, they are no more.

Still yet are the untold acorns that fall to the ground and are never to be found. These lost untold acorns die, rot, and then return to dust of the earth from which they came.

Still yet there are the numbering of acorns that fall to the ground, that do not enter the earth, and yet still they die. In the spring when the rains come these acorns sprout up with new life and push upward to the heavens. Yet when the sun beats down on them in the summer drought, they wither, and death wins. For they are the numbered that have no root deep into the earth. For these numbered did not feed upon the nutrients of the earth nor have they drank fully of the water of life. For these who are the counted also die and return to dust of the earth from which they came.

Still yet are the acorns, the few, that fall to the ground, enter the earth and die. When the spring rain comes these few rise up with new life, and push upward to the heavens as their roots dig downward deep into the earth. Yet when the sun beats down, in the summer drought they do not wither. These few filled with new life have roots dug down deep into the earth to feed upon nutrients of the earth and drink freely of the water of life. As years upon years past, storms come, flood waters rise and fall, yet the years of drought pass by, these few with new life keep growing on. Massive oaks they have become producing much fruit and always growing upward till their purpose has been made full. Then they also die and return to the dust of the earth from which they came. 

 Still yet I find this to be a mystery: So is it also the same with a man? 

BE STILL and WAIT and KNOW!

I have come back to this page again 

to see if words of light dance!

I have two other tasks that beckon

to me come and toil for them. 

Yet Men of One Accord awaits

for some new words of light.

I find no new prose

nor a vision of a poem

is in my sight.

So now is this my time to wait?

A time to contemplate?

So is this the time to be still

 and know?

Yes, Yes my mind is 

really, really blank!

But to be still and wait 

and know?

Yahweh is your God.

So be Still and Wait

and Know.

Brothers and sisters in Christ this me trying to tell you that God has added to the calling in my life. I have two new task that has been set before me to do. One I have been working on for sometime the other is a door that has opened to me. Both task are demanding more of my time and I do not fill free to elaborate on them. The first project I have worked for some time is now moving ahead and I need to spend more time with it fine tuning. The other is a new door that has just open to me a new territory where I have never been before. I will also be keeping up on men’s prayer groups as I am needed there. I follow a lot of blogs and I will still keep following them and may even add more to my list. One thing I do need to do is to slow down on my posting and I am really having a hard time writing new post.

I want to thank every one of you who follows Men of One Accord  from my heart. I love all your comments, your blessings, and encouragement you have brought into my life. Please keep me in your prayers for I will need more of our Abba’s wisdom to discern  the loving truthful words of Christ with all the new people God is bring into my life. I need your prayers for boldness to proclaimed in the gentleness caring concerns of Christ for their souls.            

May the joy of the Lord be with you and the peace that passes all understanding be your resting place. May all who see you be greeted with the love of Christ that is in you. I pray that rivers of blessings flow out of heaven and deep into your souls so that all who meet you has seen the Face of Christ the hope in you, Amen.
