Word! This Blog has been hijacked by the word people.

Ok not really I was wondering if it is weird to buy a movie about marriage when I, myself, and me (it is not nothing like the Trinty, I just wanted 3 readers and myself and me agreed) is a single guy? Post myself and me.

No really, I do have any time left.

I thought that I would give you a taste of what my schedule is looking like this week. I work 5 days 12hrs each day. The days are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Nights (2200-1000). For one of my classes I have to read 180 pages in my books or around 11 chapters. I also have to read all of Genesis, Job, Exodus, and Leviticus adding 139 pages from my Bible. That is over 300 pgs in one week. That would be an entire book. It normally takes me a couple of months to read 300 pgs in a book. My other class has about 100 pgs of reading. I also have to study for PMOC this Thursday and AWANA for Sunday. I do tell you this to pity me but instead pray that I will be able to remain fruitful in God.

Watch for Fall in the Number of Posts

I will not be posting as much for the next 8 weeks. I started to really sweet classes that are Top Secret. Ok not really they are THEO 104 Christian Thought and BIBL 104 Survey of the Bible. I am also going to move my blog series on the difference Strips of Christianity when I get a chance to the Bible Study Blog. Well I need to read a lot before this weekend. Have a good rest of the week.

AWANA, PMOC, and Marriage. This is what is on my Mind.

1st. AWANA

So I was thinking about AWANA and the Trek students that I teach. I have often thought that I was not getting through to them. I think that is not that I am not getting through to them as much as me not putting Christ first in my teaching. I often wait for that last minute and tend to destroy what I am teaching. Often realize that what I was teaching is not what they can grasp. I some time that I am being a rebel since I do teach (or at least try to teach) is not what is heard at the Chapel/post-modern Christianity. (Yes, I go to a church that is now post-modern and I do not like it one bit.) But as I was listening to "Listen Up," (01-09-2009) it struck me hard. I was not doing it until Christ. I was doing it for me. I wanted to be the one that sparks a problem by telling the truth. The problem is that Jesus does not want me to start a problem by telling the truth. He wants me to just tell the truth. He wants me to teach only the Truth which is found in his world. Please pray for me as I learn to life for Christ alone.

2nd. PMOC

So many might be asking (I guess that would mean I have readers let me rephrase that. Insert this instead...). For the 1 reader (which is me), what is PMOC? PMOC is an abbreviation for Protestant Men of the Chapel or a adult men Bible study (why am I in it, I do not know either). I always was the one that would buy the food and give my 2 cents but the days I had a study ready no one would show up. So I started to ask the Lord why. I was thinking that it was a sign for me to not teach men older than I. So I was trying to sleep (which did not happen because I was thinking about these three subjects), I was thinking that I am not fit for teaching PMOC. Looking at 1 Timothy 2 and the standard what which an elder/overseer should be like. Looking at the fact that I am not above rebuking. I still need a lot of rebuking. How can I lead a group of men that are all older than I? How can I lead a group of men when they should be teaching me? I know as a pastor (if I am truly called), that I will be teaching men and women that are older than I. I just do not think I am ready to teach these men. Since I do not think that I should teaching, I want to find somebody else that will teach instead.

3rd. Marriage.

Finally, the last thing that caused me to remain up this night. Marriage. I must admit that I was watching High School Musical 1 & 2 because I was not interested in watching anything else on AFN. I really do not like watching movies about high school years because 1. they are never right and 2. I did not have a single good high school year. Even though my high school years no longer define who I am, I still missed an opportunity. So I look at my life as a 22 year-old some-what of a man writing on a blog about stuff that really does not matter. Oh, did I mention that I have never been on a date or even properly asked a female on a date. I listen to a podcast, and I feel like I am so behind that I can never catch up. As I plan out my immediate future, ie after the military, it must involved finding a female to get married to. I also must do something about it but I know myself and I know that I will not be able to ask a girl out. That is why beyond my comfort zone. I could not even ask a girl to dance with me (which I remember very little on how to dance). It makes it hard to decided whether to return to Oklahoma and find a women there while hanging out with old friends or attend Liberty University in Virginia where I can get plugged into a good Christian group. The problem with attending Liberty is that I promised my friends in Oklahoma that I would move back. The one problem with Oklahoma is that I would attend different churches with singles groups and pull away from the friends that I promised I would see. I could also hang with my friends and hope that a single female would attend our Bible study (if there is one when I return).

Finale.

So as I think about these 3 topics during my 6 hr flight. I pray to God that he will revival a path that is part of his plan. Thinks for reading that rambling post about nothing.

NO Gyros!!!

This makes me a little upset that I can not get a decent gyro in Greece AT 2300. The main reason is that I would have to be back on base at 2400.

What do we need more, A moral straight congress people or Biblical Preachers?

Answer the question at hand now. What do you like is more needed in the USA right now? This question is based of a conversation I had a friend. He wants to be a congressman. I think that he might be a good congressmen, I do not think he will be elected into a high office based on his worldview. We will face block because of people claiming separation of church and state. I believe that the only thing to be separated is state owning a church. The church should own the state, okay not really, just look at the Catholic Church.

So my answer to this question is that we need more Bible preaching pastors that will not itch the ears of the people. The state can not create morality but the church can lead people to God. God is the one you changed unmoral people to moral people. Look at what is happening in the state of California and Propositions 8. The immoral of a few is creating a big problem when the majority said yes to prop 8. Prop 8 does not band Homosexual marriage, it redefines that marriage is between 1 man and 1 female as described in Genesis 2.

SO we need pastors like R.C Spour, John Piper, C J Mahaney, John MacArthur, Paul Washer, Jeff Noblet. They do not need to be famous, just Biblical. Our goal is to get out a preach to the lost. Christians we are to seek the lost and teach them about Repentance and Trust. God " 'now he commands all people everywhere to repent,because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.' "(Acts 17:30-31)

I work like everyone to pray for people to share their faith in God.

SIDE NOTE: Look for a Bible study on Revelation 2:1-7 at my Bible Study Blog.

ALSO, Happy New Year.
