25) Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26) Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27) Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28) And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29) And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30) Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31) Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32) ( For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: ) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34) Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” ( John 14:1-3 KJV )!!
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” ( Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV )!!
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son ( Jesus Christ – Yeshua HaMashiach ), that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be Saved.”

Here is the site for the orginal article Helping Youth Have a Faith of Their Own. Originally published Feb. 8, 2012.
Helping Youth Have a Faith of Their Own
The fact that youth participate in church less as they get older and often are not present in church as young adults can lead church leaders to assume they lack religious interest. A new book growing out of the National Study of Youth and Religion challenges that assumption. Sociologists Lisa Pearce and Melinda Lundquist Denton found that older teens and young adults see great significance in religion though not always in institutional forms of religious life.
In their book A Faith of Their Own: Stability and Change in the Religiosity of America’s Adolescents (Oxford University Press, 2011), the authors follow up with 2,530 young people, age 16 to 21, surveyed about their faith and religious practices at two points in time. The authors identified five types of religious identity among these young persons.
Abiders (20 percent). These are the adolescents with the highest levels of religious interest and practice. They not only believe in God; they pray regularly, attend services, volunteer, and are most likely to say their religion is the only true faith.
Adapters (20 percent). This group shows high levels of personal religiosity. But compared to the Abiders, they are more accepting of other people’s faiths and attend religious services more sporadically. The Adapters are most likely of all the groups to help others in need.
Assenters (31 percent). These teens say they believe in God, but they are minimally engaged with their faith. Religion is tangential to other aspects of their lives.
Avoiders (24 percent). They believe in God but do not engage in any religious practice. Their God is a distant one, and they often do not name a religious affiliation.
Atheists (5 percent). They do not believe in God and do not attend services.
Meaning for Congregations
What might this mean for congregations wanting to be sensitive to the faith perspectives of youth? We know that participation in formal religious services means little to many youth. They do not necessarily see themselves as less religious because they attend worship less often. The church is often not their primary community of meaning during these years.
The writers suggest that congregations can support youth as they refine their religious identity with an approach called “scaffolding.” Scaffolding creates a context in which youth can participate at a level just beyond where they are currently. Instead of asking youth to go where they are not ready to go, they are helped to grow from where they are. Hallmarks of all such efforts must be honesty and acknowledgement of the role of doubt in faith.
All people have distinctive issues and needs at various life stages. One lesson from this research is the importance of supporting youth in appropriate ways during these critical years.

Using nothing more than the unadulterated human voice, a clean-cut presentation, and a little Jewish humor, this unique group of singers is able to connect with fans of all backgrounds and ages.
Though the Maccabeats aren’t your grandfather’s synagogue choir, their ideology and identity play an important part in what they do. Strongly committed to the philosophy of Torah u-Madda, the integration of traditional and secular wisdom, the Maccabeats perform an eclectic array of Jewish, American, and Israeli songs.

Netanyahu Says ‘No Chance’ Of Iranian Nuclear Compromise Deal Without Dismantling Centrifuges!!
Israel – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that there is “no chance” the West will reach a final deal with Iran over its nuclear program, following comments by Iranian officials last week that they had not agreed to dismantle any nuclear centrifuges. “If Iran will stand by that statement, that means that a permanent agreement–which is the goal of the entire diplomatic process with Iran–cannot succeed,” Netanyahu said.
( Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu )
The Jerusalem Post reported Netanyahu’s comments Sunday, after he addressed his cabinet upon his return from Davos, Switzerland. Late last year, Netanyahu called the interim deal with Iran an “historic mistake” and made clear that Israel was not party to the agreement. The deal provides that Iran receives sanctions relief in return for temporarily suspending high-level nuclear enrichment and provides some access to UN inspectors. source – Breitbart

In case you didn’t know, since the 17th of January the Liberal News Media happens to be on life support. They’re huddled in their little nooks and crannies trying to figure how to throw the remark by Rocky Seto of the Seahawks out of the ball park never to be heard again. I’d say the Seahawks have one up on the Liberals, because they just quietly and without malice announced to the World that Jesus is in their corner and they’re darn proud of it…
"Literally, Jesus is the greatest treasure in the universe," said Rocky Seto, who is on the Seahawks coaching staff. "It just makes sense. It's not like you give up your life and then you get something worse. He gave us everything. We had nothing, He gave us everything, so literally it's just one plus one equals two, it's that simple. Jesus is better than anything… even better than the Super Bowl, better than an NFL career, any of that."
"If you have Jesus it's still going to be awesome, win or lose," the Seahawks' defensive passing game coordinator said. There’s a quiet movement stirring in the athletic world - there are many athletes who stand up for “God.”
Here’s a short roster of athletes who are very outspoken about their faith. Zach Johnson (Golf), Michael Waltrip (NASCAR), Tim Tebow (football), Tom Dungy (coach of the 2007 Super Bowl-winning Indianapolis Colts), Joe Gibbs (NASCAR), Derek Fisher (basketball), Allyson Felix (Gold Medalist), Jake Peavy (San Diego Padres pitcher), Shaun Alexander (football) and many, many more.
Wow, what a breath of fresh air to hear young men and women stand up for “Jesus.” This is the kind of message that should make headlines on a daily basis – yet seldom do we hear this message anymore because many are afraid to stand up for Jesus. They’ve been told it isn’t politically correct and they’ve been threatened with lawsuits.
Little children are being chastised for mentioning God or the Bible in school. The college crowd has been put in their place and must hide their religious beliefs behind closed doors. Those who hit the freeways daily (so far) are free to say a prayer or two on their way to work, but not in the work place because the Liberals have put a zipper on their lips.
Prayer removed from schools, the 10 Commandments removed from Court Houses and the Atheists are fighting our God given rights to remove God from public view. The Supreme Court struggled in 2013 trying to come to a decision whether prayer is allowed at local Government meetings – why the struggle?
The Supreme Court has fallen victim to Liberalism and the relentless attacks from the left. Anyway by the time they finish rewriting the new law on prayer – very likely we will have to limit prayer to our bathroom.
Note that Congress and the Supreme Court open with prayer. The Supreme Court opens with,"God Save The United States and This Honorable Court."
Eighty-five members of the House of Representatives — including six from Florida, 11 from Texas and six from North Carolina — have signed on to a brief akin to the Senate's that endorses legislative prayers. Only 12 House members joined an opposing brief that urges tighter scrutiny, and no senators did.-
Marco Rubio wants the Senate to continue opening with a prayer. Here’s what Marco said, "For a few minutes each morning, politics and party are set aside," Rubio and 33 other senators advised the Supreme Court in a legal brief. "Instead of debate, senators reflect on their duty … mindful of the nation's core values and their need for divine assistance in carrying out their responsibilities."
Scuttlebutt on the street is that Obama and his administration have joined conservative state and federal lawmakers in urging the Supreme Court to tolerate prayers during government meetings.
Although Obama has attacked God from all sides and tried to remove him from our Nation it’s obvious that he believes there is a “God”- in all of his arrogance and dictatorial actions when push comes to shove he moves over for God and wants him present at government meetings. Obama has met his match – God is alive and well, need I say more?
As Always,

10 Guidelines for Christian Living!
Over the last seven decades, Billy Graham has written 32 books which are an extension of his continued ministry and burden to reach as many people as possible with the Good News of the Gospel. In “Peace with God,” Mr. Graham outlines ten guidelines for Christian living. This classic volume by Billy Graham points to the fact that God is the only way to find authentic personal peace in a world in crisis.
Whether we are playing a game, driving a car, or baking a cake, there are certain rules that must be followed for our safety as well as our success.
The Bible teaches that the Christian life is one of constant growth. When you were born again, you were born into God’s family. It is God’s purpose that you will grow into fill stature and become mature in Christ. It would be against the law of God and nature if you were to remain a baby and thus become a spiritual dwarf. In 2 Peter 3:18, the Bible says that we are to grow. It implies steady development, constant enlargement, increasing wisdom.
For one to grow property certain rules must be observed for good spiritual health.
- Read your Bible daily. Do not be content to skim through a chapter merely to satisfy your conscience. Hide the Word of God in your heart. It comforts, guides, corrects, encourages – all we need is there.
- Learn the secret of prayer. Prayer is communicating. Every prayer that you pray will be answered. Sometimes that answer may be “Yes” and sometimes “No,” and sometimes it is “Wait,” but nevertheless it will be answered.
- Rely constantly on the Holy Spirit. We know that the Holy Spirit prays for us (Romans 8), and what a comfort that should be to the weakest of us. Stand aside and let Him take over all the choices and decisions of your life.
- Attend church regularly. The visible church is Christ’s organization upon earth. Christians need one another, we need to gather together to worship God and nothing can take the place of church attendance.
- Be a witnessing Christian. We witness in two ways: by life and by word – and the two, where possible, should go hand in hand.
- Let love be the ruling principle of your life. Jesus said to those who followed Him, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John 13:25). The greatest demonstration of the fact that we are Christians is that we love one another.
- Be an obedient Christian. Let Christ have first place in all the choices of your life.
- Learn how to meet temptation. Temptation is not sin. It is yielding that is sin. Let Christ through the Holy Spirit do the fighting for you.
- Be a wholesome Christian. Our lives and appearance should commend the Gospel and make it attractive to others.
- Live above your circumstances. Don’t let your circumstances get you down. Learn to live graciously within them, realizing the Lord Himself is with you.
I find it very interesting how people view Jesus today. I am not a bible scholar and cannot quote more than just a few very common scripture verses, but is being able to quote chapter and verse from the Holy Bible really that important? Knowing what the Bible says is important. Living by Scripture, especially by the New Testament things taught by Jesus and his Apostles are important, but I find a lot of people who are so quote-crazy they don’t really seem to know much about what they are quoting.
For instance, Jesus is portrayed in most churches that I know of, and by every Christian I know as pious, benevolent, quiet, and soft spoken. I don’t see him that way at all, at least not all the time. As a matter of fact I think of Jesus as quite forceful, and a pain in the butt to the bureaucracy of his time; and to the “progressives” who now control our nation. I see a side of Jesus that is often more like a drill sergeant in the Army.

Jesus Christ is The Reason for the Season!
18) Now the Birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19) Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
20) But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21) And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall Save His people from their sins.
22) Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23) Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24) Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25) And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called His name JESUS.
I) NOW when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2) Saying, Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.
3) When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4) And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5) And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6) And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
7) Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8) And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
9) When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10) When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
II) And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
