The world in which we live currently seems to be filled with questions and doubts about almost everything. The uncertainly of situations, events and even people have created a state of uneasy and a state of no trust in about all things.
If you are a conversationalist, you know immediately what I am talking about as even the debate about ideas is not longer a plausible discussion. This is true because we hear, almost everyone, protecting their position, their interest, and they seem to also be closed minded to any direction other than their own. With all these questions, doubts, and wonders about how “the mess” the world seems to have invented will ever straighten out has many throwing their hands up in the air, but I am not one of those.
The skill of disagreeing yet maintaining a true and respectful appreciation of others is a characteristic that individuals have discarded and no longer being sought after or developed in our mindset or skills. As a Christian, one of the foundations of our belief system is respect for people and their decisions. Thus I would propose that the leadership of our churches repositions themselves as the Ambassadors of the Creator of the Universe, Jesus Christ, and that we begin to re-establish the church as the library of resources for seeking, searching and just exploration. The most difficult trait to develop as a Christian is that of allowing people to say yes and no. The Bible is filled with the example of Jesus alone in allowing people to seek, search and explore, and yet still respecting them in their decision to walk away. The key for the Church is that while respect people’s decisions, we continue to demonstrate the love of Jesus for them even through rejection.
In a recent conversation with Russell Zik, who is a student at Southern Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, we explored the opinion when folks say, “everything works out”. Now the Bible certainly teaches that there is a purpose for everything, but the scriptures do not teach that everything works out. There is a condition to such and most individuals do not quote the scripture just a paraphrase of their desire for how things should be. Roman’s 8:28 clearly states things only work out for those called according to His purpose. This is a great place to being ones search for answers and seeking of solutions. The church is also the perfect place to facilitate this exploration just as Columbus set sail out on the ocean blue.
Our conversation also included a discussion of the often quoted conditioned response to “how are you”. Folks everywhere mostly say just fine, even when the world maybe in pieces around them. I shared that people give this type of response because they don’t believe our question or inquiry is sincere or genuine. Unfortunately many people just consider that to mean a method to use to find out gossip, or to be “put our nose” where it don’t belong. As Christians and church leaders, we could change that. We could demonstrate the real love and concern that Christ has for people, and that could lead to an eternal difference.
The scriptures talk of the church as the salt and light of the world. By the way, when I say church, I am talking about the body of Christ, we the people. The buildings that the body has erected are instruments that we should use to tell His story but to often they are just on display through out the week as landmarks for folks needed earthly driving directions. What a difference could be made if those who profess the name of Jesus, believed He was who He said He was…

Cupcake Message
Not sure about your position on cupcakes and how they relate to the current spiritual condition of some individuals but I can clearly see the rising in the oven as they bake. A friend of mine and his family recently stopped in for a visit. Being someone who likes to entertain, this was a perfect opportunity to throw out the red carpet and make a great memory of road trips for his wife, kids and family.
Upon their arrival I thought why not fix corn dogs and grilled cheese for the evening snacks, and for breakfast the next morning I could fill the table with gravy, biscuits, fried potatoes and all the necessaries. Good idea so far, right?....until I realized he and his wife were the loving parents of a picky eating child. After a very short, “let me get the facts straight”, it was understood that cupcakes would do, and she was fully prepared for my lack of understanding and with regards to her personal disposition.
It was at that moment my mind went racing in two fast track road trips. First, I thought of my grandparents, the rules were simple, if you didn’t like what was on the table that was fine with them, you just didn’t eat. I will give them credit for me eating everything, and I guess I can just blame them too for any weight issues I might have. After all they didn’t cater to my special needs which should be a violation of something right? The second fast track was on Acts 4:12 which states, “There is no other name given among men, whereby we must be saved,” and thus cupcakes began to speak to my heart about the stubbornness of many when it comes to Jesus Christ.
Now certainly eating cupcakes will not send you to Heaven or Hell, but this is a perfect example of caution so we do not become caught up in our world, blinding us from His truth and blessing. Certainly as a child there were things I too didn’t like to eat. That memory is amazing today because I will eat most everything I refused to eat back then. I love liver & onions, green beans and even salads. Who would have imagined right? It is one of those important lessons one can gleam from life if we allow ourselves to try new things. In this situation, the cupcakes were brought along for the trip, knowing that on the road ahead there maybe things one doesn’t like. It’s a good thing when you can have another option, as a cupcake, but there are some issues where there are no other options. Salvation is one of those issues that some folks just bake up and swell over.
Acts 4:12 clearly states that Jesus Christ is the only way, but I ‘m certain there are other roads many will try. No one likes that medical conversation in which there is only one way or one direction you can go to find answers. We all want options, but in some situations, that’s not possible. Salvation is one of those positions in the Christian Faith that there is no other direction according to The Bible.
It is possible that today in many things you maybe able to say, no, I will just eat a cupcake, but there are some matters that require a real decision and direction. From some issues there are no deviations. For Christians, Jesus Christ is the only answer and if you want to eat the full meal you will need to pull up a chair to the table.

90 Days Remain in 2009!
It is hard to believe but October is here, fall is official, and our opportunity of choices continues daily as we are granted another day here on planet earth. My personal scripture focus for 2009 has been I Corinthians 4:8-9. “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; Perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not abandoned; Struck down, but not destroyed.”
Consideration of these closing days in 2009 continue to create questions of which I am seeking answers still, while yet I have discovered some answers to issues and questions that I have been baffled by as well. In these closing 90 days of the year I believe more then enough time remains for full discovery and understanding if you and I are up for the task.
A part of the discouragement that I believe fills many plates is our reaction to news that we hear from the political side of life. It appears the United States is now all upset that the Country of Brazil won their search and goal to host the 2016 Olympics. The City of Chicago wanted this opportunity, but the Olympic International Selection Committee eliminated our city in the first round. It has been called a “devastating blow” the City of Chicago and even the Presidency of Barack Hussain Obama. I personally am not sure how the selection of the 2016 Olympics Site trumps or scares our President but apparently to some observers and commentators it does. I’ve been to Brazil and Rio de Janeiro and I am happy there were selected, after all the Country of Brazil has never hosted the Olympics before, so I’m thinking this is a good thing. My concern is why this announcement is so upsetting. I would think the fact that no one has stepped forward with information about the beating of a 16 year old teenager in Chicago should be the real focus of our attention. If Chicago seems to far away for our concern, how about our attention being focused on finding the responsible individuals for the death of a U.S. Census worker who was hanged to death in Clay County as a more important matter?
If you want one more downside to items that bring about possible discouragements for life here in Southeastern Kentucky, how about the issue of family incomes regarding the Health Care Debate? When I hear members of the Congress and our U.S. Senators talk about income levels for families making less then $250,000.00 per year, even I can get distracted. The Congressional understanding of Middle American is way off base. Why doesn’t our Kentucky Congressman’s and U.S. Senator’s talk about families that make less then $30,000.00 per year and demonstrate their decision based on those family income levels for a real spread sheet on their decision and it’s impact on us, the average proud resident of Southeastern Kentucky.
All these issues will make us hard pressed for answers and they are perplexing, but with or without health care I am not crushed. I do have a health insurance policy that provides for a complete new body in that the City of Heaven. As for abandoned and struck down by the decisions of others, I should not be destroyed, because I have as a Heavenly home a City not make by human hands, but rather by the Master’s Touch.
There is hope still, don’t grow weary of doing good, for in due season you and I will reap, if we faint not.

September 11, 2001 - An old answer for a new problem
Remembering the experience of September 11, 2001 and determining our response and reaction continues to change and grow daily. One of the issues I believe America is struggling with is exactly how we see ourselves. Now there has always been a difference between rural and urban living but some of the lines there were once marks of distinctions that identified where someone lived or where they were from no longer exist..
Life in Southeastern Kentucky has herself made many changes over just the past 20 years, although it might be difficult for some to see the changes. Changes like who lives here and who is our neighbor has changed. I remember driving my grandfather up the roads of Stinking Creek and he could tell you who lived in every home, and something about them and their family. Today, folks do a lot of moving and ”homesteads” in the mountains that everyone once could identify have changed and single family dwellings are one example of change that occurred.
20 years ago our communities were also individually known, but not today. Fourmile is Pineville; Meldrum is Middlesboro; Goldbug is Williamsburg; In Corbin, the urban cluster is confusing because city services are provided in areas not officially Corbin, Ky; Popular Grove is even considered Barbourville; One could blame the postal service and say the closing of Offices that were once staples of our communities is the reason for this merger but nevertheless, it is what it is, things have changed. We’ve gladly taken on a new identity if it provided benefits and services, while honestly loosing just a bit of ourselves along the way. I am not suggesting that this is a bad thing, but merely pointing out that identifying ourselves can be a problem especially as the America of just a few years ago prior to the attacks of 9-11.
English is our native language and here in the mountains we haven’t had any issues understanding one another as we’ve talked. We have long considered the issue of foreign languages to be something that big city’s must content with. However, there is not a schools system in Southeastern Kentucky, a Law Enforcement Agency or a provider of health services that has not needed assistance with interpretation because our mountains neighbors are changing.
One factor that if consistent, I am confident could assist in this transition, would be a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Respecting people, all people is not a new liberal position that has been announced by the Democratic Party. The greatest liberator of all time, Jesus Christ set all people free long before our current system of government was established. Honesty and integrity were not created by the Republican Party those characteristic were created by Jesus Christ, who also established mercy and grace.
If individuals were to institute the teachings of the Bible into their daily lives we would not have to worry about corporate greed and abuse, because individuals living the right way would win out in every decision.
Could be I am just dreaming about a time past, but I don’t accept that position. Jesus never wanted us to live in the past, but rather to press forward. We all have choices and while we may have an identity crisis taking place today, the answer is still in front of us if we would chose to accept

September 11, 2001 - Hope & Peace hand in hand
The United States is always in fast mode to show quick remembrance and then run to the next event or moment. Last week I wrote about how the three current living generations have been impacted by events and moments with a special emphasis for 9-11-01.
The date, September the 11th is a date that has many memories prior to the terrorist attack that occurred in New York City, at the Pentagon in Washington and the memorial of an open field in Pennsylvania that was Flight 93. Certainly the terrorist attack on that date in 2001 has overshadowed all other world events. I know of individuals who were born on September 11th, I officiated at the wedding of Mr. Mrs. Lance Kidd on that date in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Golden Rule Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star in London, Ky., was founded on that date in the year 1909.
In the fast mode of living that seems to be the custom here in the U.S. we feel good to remember things on specific dates but I believe the real lesson for learning is that we are impacted daily because of the experienced living we have witnessed and participated throughout our life. President Abraham Lincoln in The Gettysburg Address delivered on November 19, 1863, provided then and now a position that we should each hold to and strive in emulation. President Lincoln on that day said, “It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, but the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth”.
The sacrifice of lives for freedom and principals is nothing new to the experience of life. The call to duty has at times been one clearly seen on the approaching horizon while during other time frames we have been caught off-guard totally for that moment. On September 11, 2001 there was both an approaching danger seen by the government and a moment that caught us as individual citizens mostly unaware.
With confusion and still unanswered questions since 2001, our Nation and the world continues to deal with the affects of the decisions made that day, but we have not stopped moving neither forward as a Nation nor as individuals. Obstacles and set backs are a part of life that must be dealt with through attitude, redirection, and constant dreams of the future.
The greatest gift of hope and peace I have discovered was found in Jesus Christ. Hope is all about the things you have not yet placed your hands on, nor the things you have yet to see with your eyes. Some folks will never believe until they see, but the blessings come in seeing with your heart and not your eyes. Peace goes hand-n-hand with hope and again the source I have found for that answer is in Jesus Christ.
September 11, 2001 is one date in our Nations History, and while today may not be marked by world-wide historical documentation, but the positive difference you decided to make in just one life may very well be all the difference in the world thus changing the course of history.

September 11, 2001 - "One source for Peace"
The United States stands in memory and memorial regarding September 11, 2001. (9-11). Individuals who are baby boomers and who have the full experience of that generation group, having moments to recall of significance are many. Certainly some individuals might not have an emphasis on events, and if that is the case, I suspect that is do to a lack of involvement in following news or staying current on civic events daily.
Our world today stands among the many winds that blow and our world takes hits daily across the globe. The only fear I have today is not one that regards life after death, as that I settled back in 1972. We’ve all heard of that that consider themselves to be an island off in their own world and that is my fear. Growing up as a teenager and young adult, I have had my moments where I considered that my actions and decisions had to deal with only myself, and that my work had to do with only me. Not sure how I could have developed such a childish point of view, but nevertheless, it happened on different occasions and I guess I should be thankful that my parents overlooked my self position and viewed me as I was, a long way off from growing up.
The decisions we make daily have an impact. Yes, some of the decisions are simple and have no profound impact on our surroundings, but other decisions and actions that we engage in have a wide range of impacts and this should be safe guarded. Consider others is not the easiest thing to do from a stubborn heart position, but when individual have character and integrity proper motives always shine through in their actions as we observe.
9-11 is a moment that causes America and the world to stop and pause, including reflection regarding the actions of others. The history books should reflect that this day had both of the affects of individual actions and decisions. Positive and Negative both flow for the decisions of others and how we reflect and evaluate determines the memory we pass on to the next generation. My youngest niece is not old enough to remember the events of that day, but she will be living out the experience and direct outcome from that day for her remaining life. The words that cover the period of time have now changed our conversations forever. Some individuals who never consider the world outside our boarders now take a moment to hear what is happen in the remaining world throughout their day. It is important, many have learned, to know sometimes what is happening a”cross the street and down the road”.
Protecting our freedoms is not just our government’s task or responsibility, but rather, it is our individual responsibilities to protect and care for ourselves and even those of others. Considering what is the best step to peace and harmony would begin with an inward look into our hearts. As a Christian I don’t always agree with every other Christian in the world but one thing I know for certain. If every professing Christian in the world took time to love our neighbors as our selves and if we also gave like time to pray for our enemies, I do believe we would have many more positive moments to remember in life than negative heart breaking situations.
There is a peace that passes all understanding, and it come from only one source, Him-Jesus.
