Misc Thoughts from Kevin George

Pastor Kevin George May 15th, 2008

Thought 1

Recently the Pope came to America and addressed the nation. He challenged everyone to base their decision making on moralistic principles, now of course that is great and if people listened, then America would be in a lot better shape than it is now. My curious wonder is this, what did he hope to accomplish by saying that? Pastors in churches everywhere encourage people to live there life like that and a large majority of America does not listen.

Thought 2

I have been to churches and have spoken with large numbers of people and a lot of them seem to be good people. On Sundays and Wednesdays they are always in church, they always offer up words of encouragement and say wonderful things. My curious wonder is this, the Bible tells us that we are the body of Christ, but sadly enough, we are a very dysfunctional one. Someone walks into the church but won’t sit next to someone because they hold a grudge and won’t offer forgiveness, yet they walk around claiming to be a Christian. Doesn’t the bible tell us to forgive one another, even in the Lords prayer; it says “forgive me of my sins AS I forgive those who have sinned against me. Another curious wonder is helping to support those in need or just tithing. When the offering plate comes around, the only thing that some can pull out is a George Washington, come on, give me a break! Yet you can rest assure that the George Washington giver will be at a restaurant later spending a good amount on his/her Sunday meal, or will be heading to the store to buy a new release DVD or video game ranging anywhere from 20 - 50 dollars or they will be buying the latest gaming device (X-Box 360, Playstation 3 or Nintendo) spending an easy 300-400. WOW! That’s all I can say. Thanks for giving that dollar as the offering plate passed.

Thought 3

Public schools have become war zones, never mind the war in Iraq, just look to your public school if it’s a fight you’re looking for. The school system is looking for a way to bring crime levels down in the schools and to make it safer for children to learn. The thought: How ignorant are the school board members? Let’s try looking at things for a minute, when did violence and teenage pregnancy really start getting out of control? Well for the history majors, we will step back to the year 1963 I believe. The headline of one of the news articles read, all bible reading and prayer to be removed from public school. Well if you pull out you little charts school board members, you will see that crime rates and pregnancies started increasing more and more afterwards. It seems to me that if you ask Jesus to come back to the school, things might start changing. I can’t believe that people haven’t figured this out, and they want to teach our children.

Thought 4

What is a Christian? I’m curious if it’s a term I want to be referred to as now a day “Christians” are making excuses and exceptions for everything. Some of the things I’ve heard other say are things such as, Watching Rated R movies don’t affect them so it’s okay. Well doesn’t the Bible say we should guard our minds? When you plug yourself into a movie where everyone is killing, cussing, and having sex, I think guarding your mind, is out the window, you have just let all that stuff in. Certain people that think abortion is okay. Well now, have you read you Bible lately? Thou shall not murder! Does that little commandment ring a bell? From the time fertilization takes place, a human life starts to form, or did they remove that from the biology books to justify themselves? Gay marriage, YES ITS WRONG!!! Read Lev. 18:22 or if your one of those who likes to say, well that’s Old Testament, then read 1 Corn. 6:9, THAT NEW TESTAMENT! So let me get this straight, they call themselves Christian but they say gay marriage is okay, abortion is okay, unforgiveness is okay , submitting ones mind to all the media filth is okay. Well if that’s modern day Christianity, please leave me out. I am a servant of Christ. I’m not Evangelical, Protestant, Catholic, Jehovah Witness or Mormon. I’m a servant of Christ and I’m doing my best to live my life the way he has instructed. I’m no saint I have flaws, I ask for forgiveness when I do wrong and I try my best to do what is right, according to the Bible.

Well that does it on my thoughts and concerns, feel free to comment, if you got offended, oh well.

Greetings in the name of the Lord.

I have been in Honduras now for two months and it has been great. I arrived on Feb. 1st and immediately went to work. Honduras is a place of poverty and there is much need throughout the land, it has its beautiful areas and then it has its poor areas. One of the main needs that I have noticed, is in education, this is a area that suffers greatly. The government requires that all students wear a uniform to school and if they do not, then they are to be turned away, this is a difficult thing for the extremely poor because they do not have the finances it takes to purchase a uniform or to pay the required fees necessary to attend. It is an area that is in need of much prayer.

After arriving in Honduras and discussing some of the ministry needs out here, the Pastor has requested for me to be an English teacher in the school that is located next to the church. So now I teach English to grades Kindergarten thru 6th grade. At first I thought to myself how can I serve in the ministry by being an English teacher, I’m used to being in feeding stations or in an orphanage. Then I received my answer, I have a classroom filled with kids and an opportunity to speak into there lives. Every class starts out with prayer and we learn a memory verse, in Spanish and in English, on Mondays we learn a new Christian song in English and have a Bible lesson.

It is a wonderful thing to watch the children learn a song and then they walk around singing them in English. I may not be outside a lot or in feeding stations, as i like, but i am where the Lord wants me and there is no other place Id rather be.

To everything there is a season

Pastor Kevin George January 29th, 2008

Ecclesiastes 3:1- To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven.  It is clear that this verse lets us know that there is a time and a season for everything. God calls us to certain areas and certain duties only for a season. One can’t exactly know how long the season is, just that it’s a season, however when God says it’s time, we know the season has come to an end. However God will not close one door without opening another and our starting point will never be our finishing point. On Jan. 23rd, 2006 God called me to Nicaragua, a great many of things where accomplished during my stay. Christway church of DeRidder, Louisiana helped to establish a feeding center which now feeds a great multitude of people, two ministries joined forces in an attempt to reach more people, villages were fed, an orphanage was opened, people were reached, God was shared, classes of English were taught, children were fed and a closer walk with Christ was achieved. As the year came closer to an end, Honduras was introduced to me and the word “Go” was placed in my heart. All the arrangements have been made, now on Feb. 1st I will be flying into San Pedro Sula, Honduras ! It is new territory for me and a new mission will take place, the light of Christ will shine as San Pedro Sula is reached !!
Please keep me in your prayers as this journey takes place, I have Faith that God will be doing some new and exciting things. For all those who have supported me and continue to do so, I would like to say thanks. Your seed is being sown, fruit is being produced, and your reward is building in heaven and will be returned to you a hundred fold. 
p.s. The address that I sent out a while back is no longer valid, as soon as I find out my address in Honduras, I will let everyone know. Also please agree with me in prayer that God will provide me the funds to get a new laptop, my old one was destroyed in a flood and this is a very important tool for me. Thank you and God Bless !
