All have sinned...

Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God


1 John 2:5-6 - 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.


When taking into consideration the scripture "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God," we can miss the overall implications of what it is saying. We must understand what the glory of God is in order to comprehend what it is we have all fallen short of.

The glory of God is nothing less than the person and nature of God Himself. We are expected by God to be like Him. That is, after all, why we were created, in order to bear His image and spread who He was across the face of the earth. That is the real meaning of the presence of God.

It's not some general presence that makes people feel good while they listen to some worship song. It's the taking on of the characteristics of Jesus Christ Himself, resulting in the world seeing who God is by our obedience to not only His words, but who He is, which His words represent.

This is why John said those who say they abide in the Lord will walk as Jesus walked. To do otherwise is a contradiction that can't be reconciled. We either obey and walk as Christ walked, or we aren't Christ's. It's impossible to be born again by the Spirit and continue to live as we have in the past.

As for sin, the word itself means to 'miss the mark.' What's the mark? Jesus Christ and who He is. What's the glory of God? Who God is as revealed in Jesus Christ.

All of us has come short of His glory in that regard. But salvation has not only brought us back in right standing with God, but brings the requirement that we open our hearts to Him and allow Him to change us into His image. We are expected to be like Christ, and anything less isn't acceptable to God.

Now this is the immediate expectation of God for His people, but it is worked out one step at a time.

We are given the goal and expectation of being perfect by God, which means becoming like Jesus. While we may never reach perfection in his lifetime, this is what we are to shoot for. God does.

Keep in mind, the entire purpose for creating man was that man would be like God in his characteristics and purpose (not Godhood). For example, we are to be patient as God is, while understanding we're totally separate from God in His Deity.

Take any revelation of Jesus Christ in the Bible and we're expected to be conformed to that very image. This is our privilege and responsibility. The Holy Spirit within us empowers us to be able to accomplish this.

False teachers have lowered the bar of Jesus Christ, making excuses and using cheap grace teachings to undermine the power and ability of the Holy Spirit to perfect His work in us.

This isn't something to be considered negative and weighty, but rather an invitation and command from God to be perfect as He is perfect. He wouldn't tell us to do something we aren't able to do with His help.

We have all sinned or missed the mark, but we don't have to accept continuing to live in sin. Jesus Christ is our pattern to live by, and when we surrender to Him, the Holy Spirit will take and work within us to conform us to what He is like. This is what was intended before man was ever created, and it is what God is after for eternity.

Warren Buffett the Butcher

Warren Buffett, the liberal billionaire whose quips and folksy humor has endeared him to the unsuspecting
public, has been secretly and quietly donating over $1.2 billion to murderous abortion organizations from 2001 to 2012.

The Berkshire Hathaway CEO has largely gotten away with this because of his lining up with the liberal agenda, which includes benefiting from the intrusion of the government into the market.

With approximately half of the population in the United States being pro life, you would think this would be a story that would garner a lot of coverage.

Obviously the news media don't want to tarnish the image of their favorite billionaire son.

Since 2001, Buffett has donated a gigantic $289,811,421 to Planned Parenthood murder mill, although even there he isn't listed among the top donors. It's obviously an outrageous cover up.

If Buffett is so strong on aiding the murder of babies, why doesn't he have the integrity and courage to be transparent in his actions and ideology? There is no doubt he doesn't want his conservative or Christian investors to pull their money out of the company or challenge him and Berkshire Hathaway on it.

From this day forward we must continue to hold Warren Buffett's feet to the fire. He has been given a free pass by the media in almost everything he has done.

But when you consider the hypocrisy of Buffett after calling for transparency from companies, you can see his legacy continues to slip and fall, as his high-tax, Federal Reserve-supporting ways are just one stain on the image of Buffett, with the worst being his aid and abetting of abortionist in the murder of the most innocent and defenseless of human beings.

Estimates are the contributions to Planned Parenthood alone would fund approximately 2.7 million abortions.

Buffett the Butcher indeed.

HGTV's Attack on Christians

The cowardly HGTV network cancelled a reality TV show after an anti-Christan radical left-wing website “Right-Wing Watch,” pressured the network after writing about the two brothers and their opposition to homosexuality and abortion.

Appearing in the series would have been David and Jason Benham, who were helping people in need to acquire a home of their dreams.

Norman Lear of the despicable People of the American Way, is the force behind the corrupted Right Wing Watch.

There were several reasons given for cancelling the show, but there is no doubt their opposition to the deviant homosexual lifestyle is the catalyst behind the cancellation of the show.

While that's true, the reason this attack on their faith in Jesus Christ came at this time, is homosexuals were beaten to a pulp over the attempt to persecute Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty, who was wildly backed by the public for his opposition to homosexuals.

They knew if more Christians were presented in a positive and popular light, it would devastate their agenda, and further boost opposition to their sinful lifestyle. So now the new battlefront will be to abort the people not approving of their lifestyle before they make an impact.

All of this is to say that we as Christians must develop our own businesses and distribution networks to showcase the content we create.

I've been working on this very thing for some time, and if you have an interest in this, let me and other readers know in the comments.

It would be a good idea to stop tuning into HGTV, as it has shown it won't stand up for what is moral and right, but instead has chosen to oppose the silent majority in America. Let the silent majority turn away from HGTV to show it can't continue to do this with impunity.
