Evolution of My World View

Filed under: from the top,social — Tags: , , — ecko @ 12:37 pm

There have been many times that my world point of view has been Jaded and way off the mark. I know my view has grown and in the past I have published things that started controversy. I feel that they show where I was as this does. I hope that they are taken in context and events can be explained as needed in the future.
Why am I writing this now?
Here in Florida there is a Church that was going to be burning the Qur’an. I see how this may effect the world religious realm. As well as how it can change the situation for our soldiers in the middle east.

Now at the time of editing and writing the original burning has been cancelled but others have taken up the charge.
In no way do I support these people but I will support the 1st amendment on freedom of speech. Even with freedom of speech we need to police ourselves. Not so we don’t offend but to know we are truly doing or saying the right thing when needed.

I feel this act could fully set off a bigger religious war than is now and that would not soon be over.We would see more death of American troops as well as more christian missionaries torchered over seas. That is what I do not want to see happen.

On the other hand

As crazy as an act of burning another persons holy book is I look to the future of being hated as a Christian. This would fulfill the prophesy of being hated for the name sake of Christ.  But we still don’t know when His return will be.

I digress there is enough out there on the Qur’an burning Church.

The main point I was stating before the rabbit trail is this. As I get older I mature and I see things in a different light. Growing mentally we are better able to express what we feel about our geopolitical environment.

I want to know is there anything you have said or written in the past that now shows how little you truly knew about something?

Way of Instruction

Filed under: journal — Tags: , — ecko @ 1:05 pm

Yesterday(19 Aug 2010) I was reading proverbs during my quiet time, And if you read a proverb a day you can tell I was in the 19th chapter. I have read this chapter a few times over in past months and during the day. the 27th verse stuck out to me more than most this time.

27 Stop listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.

This hit me in the chest. Hard.

Hind sight being 20/20 I know I strayed. Far.

The words of Job ring in my head of “Will not even God use the aching of your bones to correct you”.

Before all the aching and pain and coming back to the Lord, I experienced a little bit of the world.  Sex, Drugs, and the like were what I was about. This led to a marriage and subsequent divorce, that I can say I learned a lot about how not to do things. from all this though I learned and gained some worldly wisdom that as I have rediscovered Godly wisdom I see the black and white that much more defined.

So my take on this is that the words of instruction are really supposed to be Gods words. The less they are read and shared with your children the easier it will be for them to wonder off. I know I have been there.

I grew up most of my life in a non-christian home. my mom was professed christian and at that time did not live it. so when i started wanting to practice the Wicca, she freaked. But her freaking was the first step I took to the Lord. This in and of itself is just the start. but not having more than a short time of interaction with christian males and not having a father at home. this shaped how I developed. Not really always getting in the Word also was an issue. So when I left the nest for the first time I failed.

Again in retrospect I could see this coming.

I became a little bit co-dependent at that time. and based on that co-dependency I had a very flawed and failed relationship with my now ex-wife. when she told me marry her or let her go, I should have opened the door and kicked her out. she was never good for me. I had a few people in my life tell me, but ultimately it was a mistake I had to make myself.

so in all that depression what am i trying to say.

The bible is packed with great instruction, Read it and find out for yourself
