Got Life?

There are different levels of life that are more valuable and worthy of protection. For example, I value my children above a coyote. If a coyote attacked my kids I would kill it to protect my kids. Only weirdos would have a problem with that. But at what level of importance are things placed? It’s called the circle of life. Lions eat other animals which eat the grass which grows better where an animal has died and fertilized the ground. I consider myself pro-life. But only to a point. We just had a baby born to our family. (Yes, Mom. More pictures will be coming.) At 8 pounds and 12 ounces she is definitely alive. She was also alive before she was born. Any mother-to-be who has felt her baby kick her can tell you that. It is inconceivable to me that anyone could kill an unborn baby because it is not wanted. Babies can feel pain before they are born. Nebraska passed a law protecting pre-born babies based on this fact. We know that dogs and cats feel pain. My otherwise very quiet cat lets me know very loudly when I accidentally step on its tail. For some reason it likes to get in my way going down the steps but then stop right in front of me. It could be considered wrong, unethical, or immoral to intentionally hurt a mammal. But what about a mosquito? Is it wrong to hurt them? What about trees? Can we cut them down for firewood? The tree is alive. But it is not of the same type of life. A fish is alive, as is a cow. I eat them both and I never stop to wonder if they would rather live than be my lunch. The bird in my attic is annoying me. Can I remove it without fear of some government agency throwing me in jail for harming an animal? This country has really got some issues mixed up. The balance of nature should be respected but not worshiped. Some life is worth protecting while other life is not. My baby had fingerprints at 8 weeks of age. She is far more important to me than any animal. So I was wondering, where do things belong on the value chart of life. As you can see below I put humans first. See if you agree with the rest.

Humans
pets
plants grown for human consumption
animals grown for human consumption
mammals
fish and birds

Beware of Terrorist Groups in church!

Beware of Terrorist Groups in church!

Latest news reports are that five terrorist cell groups have been operating in many of our churches. They have been identified as: Bin Sleepin, Bin Arguin, Bin Fightin, Bin Complainin, and Bin Missin.

Their leader, Lucifer Bin Workin, trained these groups to destroy the Body of Christ. The plan is to come into the church disguised as Christians and to work within the church to discourage, disrupt, and destroy.

However, there have been reports of a sixth group. A tiny cell known by the name Bin Prayin is actually the only effective counter terrorism force in the church. Unlike other terrorist cells, the Bin Prayin team does not blend in with whoever and whatever comes along.

Bin Prayin does whatever is needed to uplift and encourage the Body of Christ. We have noticed that the Bin Prayin group has different characteristics than the others. They have Bin Watchin, Bin Waitin, Bin Fastin, and Bin Longin for their Master, Jesus Christ to return.

NO CHURCH IS EXEMPT!
(However, you can spot them if you bin lookin and bin goin.)

Turning Point Ministries

A friend of mine is starting a new ministry called Turning Point Ministries. (Yes, there already is one by that name, but when God tells you what to call it you just do what He says, right?) Among the many services that will focus on meeting people’s needs is the ministry of counseling. I’m sure my friend is well qualified and will take a different approach than the one you are about to see. This video is a humorous look at what counseling should not be.
