The Word of the Lord

Mar 10:17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
Mar 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God.
Mar 10:19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
Mar 10:20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
Mar 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Mar 10:22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
Mar 10:23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Mar 10:24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
Mar 10:25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Mar 10:26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
Mar 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men [it is] impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Mar 10:28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
Mar 10:29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
Mar 10:30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
Mar 10:31 But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last first.

Pride Goes Before the Fall

Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

What are you doing? Who do you fool? What plans do you have for your own aggrandizement? A good government is one who serves the people not themselves.

Pro 16:18 Pride [goeth] before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Pride Continues

It is easy to say the unemployed are not trying when you are sitting down with a prime rib the people's tax money has supplied.

There are many in this town who speak evil of the unemployed saying they are every thing but good. The people who say these things are evil.

When you get together and discuss what you are going to do for the poor, remember they are people. You don't know their pain. You may be embarrassed the poor live in your city Mr. Mayor, but they are people. They are hurting bad. Denying us won't make you feel good about yourself.

God give this city a new government! We pray today for living wage work, for all who want it.

Poverty

Lord reverse the poverty of this city. Start by replacing present leadership with that which will serve the people.

Help the poor this day Lord. Bring work.
