God is Love

Nay,
For nihilism is to loose God.
God is dead in the hearts of men,
God is rejected by men,
And those who reject God do not see His mercy and grace,
And those who deny God do not see the Glory and Power of His purpose,
As Creator of Men.

Yet,
Those who accept God,
And confess to God,
And give their lives to God,
By the love in their hearts,
To show their love to God by loving Him,
To love God as He loved them,
Unconditionally.
They are those that are truly blessed.

God is mercy, for He gave us what we did not deserve.
God is forgiveness, for He gave us salvation from our sins.
God is love, for He gave us the ultimate sacrifice, His son, His only son,
Jesus Christ, the Anointed One,
That whosoever believeth in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
(John 3:16)

God Loves Everyone

Humans have free will and are fallible. They don't follow the Bible, they don't follow the Ten Commandments, they don't follow God's will. "For all men have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) But humankind has a choice to love God back as much as he loves us, unconditionally. That is true Christianity, not this "holier-than-thou" concept that people like Kent Hovind, Ted Haggard, Benny Hinn perhaps, and even the Pope (and his Theocracy), take God's word and distort it to belittle people. God loves EVERYONE!!! He loves the gay prostitute with 25 partners, He loves the chase priest, He loves the murderer, He loves the policeman, He loves the doctor, He loves the lawyer, He loves the Liberal Socialist, He loves the Conservative Capitalist, He loves the sinner, He loves the forgiven. GOD LOVES EVERYONE. God does not belittle people. PEOPLE belittle people.

Basically it comes down to this:

Love God by loving other people. Do what Jesus did.

Look! A funny!

I was talking to the 8 year-old daughter of a friend of mine, and she said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were President what's the first thing you would do?"She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people."

"Wow - what a worthy goal," I told her. "But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the grass, pull weeds, and rake my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food or a new house."

She thought that over for a few seconds, ‘cause after all she's only 8.

And while she was thinking, her Mom glared at me. She looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work himself, and you can just pay him the $50?"

And I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

Her folks still aren't talking to me. :'-(

Jeff Allen on Life

On Teenagers:

I believe teenagers are God's revenge of mankind. It's as if God himself looked down and said: "Hey, let's see how they like it to create someone in their own image who denies their existence." Because I have looked, nowhere in the Bible does it state how old Satan was when he rejected God's Authority. My guess, he'd be 18.

On Marriage:

I've learned one thing in the last 23 years of marriage, this is it: "Happy wife, happy life."

And if you're married, you already knew that. And if you're not married, boy, you better write it down. And not on a napkin, you get a stone tablet and a chisel jack! My father took me aside on my wedding day. He sat me down, looked me in the eye and he said, "I have only one piece of marital advice for you. Before you argue with your new wife, and believe me, you're gonna argue with her. Before you do I want you to stop and ask yourself two questions: Do you want to be right? Or do you want to be happy?" And then he broke down an sobbed right in front of me.

It's pathetic! And I had no idea what that man was talking about. 23 years later, I can tell ya: I'm a happy, happy, happy man. I ain't been right in 12 years. Sometimes I have to ask my wife, "Am I happy?" "Oh you better believe your happy!" "Okay. Just checkin' with ya buttercup." Call up my buddies up, "I can't go golfing, but I'm a happy, happy, happy man."

On Communication:

You gotta communicate! Like my wife says: "Commuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunicate." But you have to learn how your spouse communicates. It took me two years of marriage to figure out that my wife will never tell me to do anything around our home. If she wants me to do something, she'll ask me a question. From the question, I gotta stand there and figure out what it is she wants me to do.

Simple example: Say I leave a pair of my underwear on the middle of the bedroom floor, which just frosts my wife. That's he favorite word, "Oh that just frosts me." If I'm not frosting her, I'm driving her up a wall, that's another one. Kids will come in, "Where's mom?" "She's up the wall with frostbite, that's all I know. And you won't believe what put her there son, it was that pair of underwear on the middle of the bedroom floor. You are looking at the most powerful pair of underwear known to mankind! They not only defy gravity, but they change temperatures..... And they're mine."

So I leave my drawers in the middle of the room. Now, would she come to me and say to me, "Pick those up." THREE WORDS! "Pick. Those. Up." Would she say them? No! Because that would be simple, direct, and right to the point. And at that moment, I, her husband, would know exactly what she wants from me. I could process the information and make a rational decision as to whether or not I could deliver that request. At that moment, we would be communicating at the highest human level, the way God intended it: through language. My wife will look at me, look at my underwear, and then ask me, "Are those yours?" "Well I hope they are, or I've got a few questions of my own!"
