more about GM...

 
Look at my e-mail handle: corvettekeys...
 
does that tell you anything???
 
I love cars...
 
In the 15 years I was married I owned 21 new ones...
 
then in 1979 and 1980 I bought the Pontiac dealership here in Indiana PA...
 
it was a mistake then, and maybe still would be...
 
but allowing GM to go belly-up is a disaster of catastrophic proportions...
 
We will never get those jobs back... not GM's, they are a drop in the bucket....
 
but the 2.5 million people who work on GM OEM parts, what goes into a car...
 
Pontiac was a great car, GM was, in it's heyday, the best of the best.
 
If they go under the USA will never lead the world in cars again...
 
Why punish workers for mangaement stupidity...

It's not an easy road we are travelling to heaven...

It's Not An Easy Road 
Words, music by John W. Peterson

It's not an easy road we are travelling to heaven
For many are the thorns on the way
It's not an easy road, but the Saviour is with us             
His presence gives us joy every day

Chorus:
No, no, it's not an easy road
No, no, it's not an easy road
But Jesus walks beside me
And brightens the journey
And lightens the heavy load

It's not an easy road, there are trials and troubles
And many are the dangers we meet
But Jesus guards and keeps so that nothing can harm us
And smooths the rugged path for our feet

Chorus:
No, no, it's not an easy road
No, no, it's not an easy road
But Jesus walks beside me
And brightens the journey
And lightens the heavy load

Though I am often footsore and weary from travel
Though I am often bowed down with care
A better day is coming when home in the glory
We'll rest in perfect peace over there

Chorus:
No, no, it's not an easy road
No, no, it's not an easy road
But Jesus walks beside me
And brightens the journey
And lightens the heavy load

Radical Evangelism & Rock the River

See the answer in blue to a young man's question, Does God keep punishing us after we've confessed our sins? See the blue text at the end of this page...

	Radical Evangelism and Rock the River» Singer, songwriter, producer and arranger Canton Jones is making waves in the music world, with two Grammy Award nominations, a Stellar Award nomination, two Gospel Choice Awards and most recently a Dove Award nomination for urban album of the year.

Learn more » My Answer by Billy Graham» Q: Does God keep punishing us for our sins even after we've confessed them and asked Him to forgive us? I truly believe Jesus has forgiven me, but my life is still messed up because of some things I did in the past. — J.H.  A:  Dear J.H., When we confess our sins and put our faith and trust in Christ alone for our salvation, God takes away all our guilt - absolutely and completely. The psalmist declared, "I said, 'I will confess my transgressions to the Lord' - and you forgave the guilt of my sin" (Psalm 32:5). Think of it: We are forgiven! But this doesn't mean that all the sins of the past will suddenly vanish, and we'll no longer have to deal with their consequences. Sin always has consequences - always. The devil tries to convince us that this isn't so, and that we can ignore God's laws and get by with it - but that's a lie (like everything else he tells us). The guilt for our sins is gone when we come to Christ - but the consequences often remain. Don't let this discourage you, however, because something is different about your life now: God is with you! You no longer have to face your problems and temptations alone. God has come to live within you by His Holy Spirit, and He will help you as you turn to Him. The Bible says, "The Spirit helps us in our weakness" (Romans 8:26). Each day, turn your problems over to Christ, and ask Him to give you the strength and the wisdom to deal with them. He can even use them to draw you closer to Himself, and to learn to trust Him more fully. Remember: We're never alone when we know Christ!

Bill King's Big Bang Theory...

 
Hi Everyone,

 

I have my own personal Big Bang Theory. In Genesis 1:1 we read; In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Not a real difficult concept. There was nothing until God made it. No Sun, Moon, Earth or Stars, nothing, period. [The entire first Chapter of Genesis 1 is at the end of this e-mail.] This doctrine in religious circles is called Ex-nihilo, Latin for "something from nothing". From nothing He created 100 billion galaxies like our Milky Way Galaxy each of which have 2 to 5 billion stars. So that's a minimum of 100,000,000,000 galaxies x 2,000,000,000 stars in each galaxy to a maximum of 100,000,000,000 galaxies with 5,000,000,000 stars each [and that's a scientific guess!] We've done the math before. A very large number of stars. Uncountable by human minds. So here's my theory, make that fact, because there is no theory about it. God created the universe 15 billion years ago. Did He create it all in six literal 24 hour days? I don't know and I probably don't need to know. Would it make a difference to me if it took 6 billion years for God to do it? My only question would be what was He up to in the unaccounted for 5 billion, 999 million years? Hah. What possible difference could any of that make on my sorry excuse for a life? Oh, by the way, YOU ask God what He was up to. Remember, no man has ever seen the face of God and lived. [God tells Moses this in Exodus 33:20, ²⁰And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.] Now here comes Paul the Attorney, writing to the Church at Rome.

 

Romans 1:19-20 (New Living Translation)

¹⁹ They know the truth about God because He has made it obvious to them. ²⁰ For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see His invisible qualities—His eternal power and Divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
 
He sounds pretty sure of himself, doesn't he. Saul of Tarsus [Paul before his conversion] was a leader in the Jewish church, there was no Christian church at this point. He was a rabbi or teacher as well as trained in the laws of Moses. Paul was an orthodox Jew amongst orthodox Jews. And here we have the head Jewish authority claiming the rocks and the stars scream out their testimony to their Creator God and that God placed everything in plain view so no one would have any excuse. So what does that do to the Big Bang Theory? In my own humble yet considered opinion I would say it reduces the argument to man's theories versus the Infallible Word of God. Between the two there can be no comparison. I would rather be totally wrong about God, Christ, Christianity and all it stands for than I would to be totally right about science and humanity and death and the grave being the end of everything. Am I making sense here? There is no comparison. Without God we have nothing. No life, no future, no hope, no joy. Nothing. I just think there is more to this than evolution from pond scum and a big bang that created billions of galaxies from a tablespoon of extremely heavy matter. I guess so. About as heavy as the grey matter in so many scientist's brains. It doesn't even make sense when you say it that way. And Christianity is nothing if not logical. Jesus said, Come, let us reason together. God Bless you in your own studies of His Word and as you work out your own salvation in fear and trembling. [Not by works, lest any man should boast.] ~bill king

Genesis 1

 ¹In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

 ²And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

 ³And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

 ⁴And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

 ⁵And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

 ⁶And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

 ⁷And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

 ⁸And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

 ⁹And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

 ¹⁰And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

 ¹¹And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

 ¹²And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

 ¹³And the evening and the morning were the third day.

 ¹⁴And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

 ¹⁵And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

 ¹⁶And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

 ¹⁷And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

 ¹⁸And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

 ¹⁹And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

 ²⁰And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

 ²¹And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

 ²²And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

 ²³And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

 ²⁴And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

 ²⁵And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

 ²⁶And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

 ²⁷So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

 ²⁸And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

 ²⁹And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

 ³⁰And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

 ³¹And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Trouble and Prayer...

 
 
As trouble draws near we need to turn more and more to God. In the past few weeks I have cried out His name out loud in the street, I needed His help that badly. And true to His Word He has seen me through the trouble. Now I'm giving Hime the praise and honor and gratitude He richly deserves. Thank You Dear Heavenly Father for all that You continue to do for me. Amen and Amen.
 
In His Holy Name,
 
Bill King

James 5:13-16   The Prayer of Faith  13Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. 14Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
