Let me tell you why you are here. You are to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You've lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage.Kris Bargerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07715686430674010553noreply@blogger.comBlogger126125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13929838.post-24040270455260028792018-01-03T09:17:00.001-05:002018-01-03T09:19:41.009-05:00It's been a while....I have not posted in so long that it feels foreign to even post here.

It's sad only if you actually have something worthwhile to say, which from what I read on the web, most people do not.

Lynde is pregnant now, and I am reminded of my 3rd bundle of joy well on its way to my heart very soon. I can't help but relate to Mary and Joseph and the arrival of their precious bundle of "world saving, faith perfecting" joy!

Of all the problems we have, none of them are worse than the breakdown of our moral backbone.
I think this branches out from 2 main failures.
1.The church has failed to change people for the good on a large enough scale. it has become something you are a part of instead of the church becoming a part of us.
2. The family has eroded away to a shell Kris Bargerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07715686430674010553noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13929838.post-84331241525496992632011-04-07T21:03:00.000-04:002011-04-07T21:03:19.755-04:00The System Has FailedThe System Has FailedKris Bargerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07715686430674010553noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13929838.post-85753993904124964172011-04-03T14:57:00.001-04:002011-04-03T18:08:08.094-04:00My Friends Church, SkylineSetting in Skyline church this morning in their 11 AM service.

I am going to talk about this from at least 2 different perspectives. 1st perspective comes from the leader or superior Point of view. I learned this from my directors at college or from celebrity type pastors or evangelist. I have problems with this ideal. 2nd perspective must come from the subordinate point of view.

The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again.

The family unit is extinct from the public eye.
Here's my take. Church look inward before we point fingers at "The World". My bible says greater Is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

Be creativeGod is a creator, not an imitator. The most God-like thing you can do is create. Write songs, think of new things, create new iPhone apps!!!

They wanted me and my brother to serve God, but they also knew that the choice had to be made by me and my brother.
