Right Relationships

By Rodney D. Robertson

A mistake some people have made in relationships is connecting with the wrong person. An even greater tragedy is calling people friends that are not friends. Why, because many times we call people friends that don’t even have a working definition of what a friend is. Now if they don’t know what a friend is, how can he or she be one to you? When someone has a working knowledge and a clear understanding of what something is, he will have the ability to walk it out or manifest what he has an understanding of.

Being connected to the right person whether in marriage, friendships, or business is vital to your success in life. In fact, I am willing to go as far to say that all good things flow through good relationships. With that being said, the first place you should check in your life when things aren’t going right is your relationships. Why, because a good relationship should add to your life and not subtract from it. A good relationship should bring out the best in you and not the worst.

Is it easy building healthy relationships and connecting with the right people? Absolutely not! I will be the first to admit that it isn’t easy. However, with the help of God and learning from the experiences of connecting with the wrong people, you gain relationship wisdom and a greater appreciation for good relationships that are drama free.

What is a good relationship? A good relationship is a relationship where both parties’ relational needs are met. It is synergistic. It is productive. Though a good relationship requires work, it doesn’t feel like work. It is not a drag or a burden to you. Proverbs 27:17 CEV says, “As iron sharpens iron, so friends sharpen the minds of each other.” I like that verse because it shows how having the right relationship will make you BETTER. A good friend will sharpen your mind and cause you to see things that you didn’t see before. I called those “Aha moments.”

Beginning today, I want you to look at your relationships and determine if they are productive and good for you. Quit wasting time on people that are not challenging you to become better. Don’t be so quick to call someone a friend. Give it some time. He or she may not be staying in your life anyway. Remember, as you grow, so should your relationships.

Marxism Or Socialism

Pastor — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 23:11:45 +0000

You Know I’m becoming more and more concerned about the direction in which America is headed. have you ever thought about what it would be like to have the Govenment looking over your shoulder following you around everywhere you go, you would have no privacy, when you call family members or friends knowning that maybe someone is listening in on your telephone conversation.or a Government System that tell what to do where you can or can not go.what you can or can not do.You ever thought about what it would be like to live under a Dictatorship or some other crazy Government System.Do you think America is head toward a welfare state when a preson is on welfare the Government has to know every you do what kind of income you have coming in.do you own this or do you own that when the Government is involved in your affairs you will have no Privacy they will tell what kind of Doctor you can go to,how much you can spend,how many hospital visits you get.is this the right direction that President Obama is leading America in. do you really want to be part of a system where the Government ditates to you.Let me just share a couple of thoughts with about Marxism and Socialism here is what I Learned in my Research first Marxism is the antithesis of capitalism which is defined by Encarta as “an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and distribution of goods, characterized by a free competitive market and motivation by profit.” Marxism is the system of socialism of which the dominant feature is public ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange.
Under capitalism, the proletariat, the working class or “the people,” own only their capacity to work; they have the ability only to sell their own labor. According to Marx a class is defined by the relations of its members to the means of production. He proclaimed that history is the chronology of class struggles, wars, and uprisings. Under capitalism, Marx continues, the workers, in order to support their families are paid a bare minimum wage or salary. The worker is alienated because he has no control over the labor or product which he produces. The capitalists sell the products produced by the workers at a proportional value as related to the labor involved. Surplus value is the difference between what the worker is paid and the price for which the product is sold.
Now Second Socialism An economic system in which the production and distribution of goods are controlled substantially by the government rather than by private enterprise, and in which cooperation rather than competition guides economic activity. There are many varieties of socialism. Some socialists tolerate capitalism, as long as the government maintains the dominant influence over the economy; others insist on an abolition of private enterprise. All communists are socialists, but not all socialists are communists.Think about that its a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole. Think about it what direction do you think and believe that America is Headed Is at all possible that America could be the road of self destruction.

Is America On Her Way To Self Destruction

Pastor — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 04:18:30 +0000

And if ye shall despise my statutes,or if your soul abhor my judgments,so that ye will not do all my commandments,but that ye break my covenant: I also will do this unto you:I will even appoint over you terror,consumption,and the burning ague,that shall consume the eyes,and cause sorrow of heart:and ye shall sow your seed in vain,for your enemies shall eat it. Leviticus 26:15-16 I understand that there is a movie by the name of Corpus Christi that’s due to be released this June to August. as i understand it this movie or disgusting film is set to appear in America later this year and as I understand. this film depicts Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals! As a play, It has already been in theaters for a while. It’s called Corpus Christi ‘ which means ‘The Christ Body.’ It’s a revolting mockery of our Lord. But, we can make a difference. That’s why I’m sharing this on our blog so that the Church can get involve and hopfully we can prevent this film from showing in America.As it has come to mind attention some regions in Europe have already banned the film. as Christain’s we need to take a stand in what we believe in and stop the mockery of Jesus Christ our Savior. At the risk of a bit of inconvenience, I’m sharing this in this blog with all of those and anyone that I believe would appreciate it. This film is an offense against our Lord.

Now lets look at this also on Wednesday, April 29 the House passed the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009. A vote in the Senate is imminent and if passed, it will be signed into law by President Obama. Under this law the investigation and prosecution of an offense against a transvestite would be given priority over a similar crime committed against a child or senior citizen. It will also be used to persecute any Christian whose public actions reflect their faith.

This bill adds protections based on “gender identity” and “sexual orientation.” Liberals in the House have specifically blocked attempts to define these terms. According to the American Psychiatric Association, “sexual orientation” includes 547 sexual deviances in their manual of clinical psychoses. This includes pedophilia and several other psychoses that you have never heard of. We need Leadership That understands Bible Prophecy. America needs to wake up we are turning into another Sodom and Gomorrah.whether we want to except it or not.And I Will set my face against you,and ye shall be slain before your enemies; they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me.then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. Leviticus 26:17-18.

Iranian Citizen Journalists Defy Government to Report on Crisis

Pastor — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 16:01:46 +0000

TEHRAN, IRAN, June 20, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ — Citizen journalists from Demotix are defying the government crackdown on media and have faced arrest in order to file stunning street-level reports from Iran.

Despite government suppression, restricted bandwith, and internet blackouts, Demotix has nearly 30 contributors relentless filing stories every hour. Their coverage is visible at: http://www.demotix.com/iranelection

Demotix’s Iranian news hub has experienced a massive influx of traffic and garnered international attention for it’s ability to circumvent government censorship and vividly expose the crisis as it unfolds on the street.

The unprecedented use of these images is being heralded as a prime example of the power of Citizen Journalism at work. Demotix stories include:

-Tehran university dormitories in the aftermath of an attack on pro-Mousavi students there: http://www.demotix.com/news/tehran-university-after-brutal-attack-baseej-thugs

-Clashes between riot police and protestors: http://www.demotix.com/news/street-justice-iran

Andy Heath, Commissioning Editor for Demotix, said: “This reaffirms the importance of citizen-journalism to news audiences around the world. Street-reporters have their own set of constraints, not least lack of access to the internet in order to share their work. But in times of crisis, where foreign reporting is being curtailed, ground-level journalism is essential.”

Since Tuesday, June 16th, Turi Munthe, CEO of Demotix, has appeared on 11 media channels, including The Today Programme in the UK, BBC News (twice), and the BBC’s World Service. Demotix will also be featured in a Reuters television program dealing exclusively with Demotix’s role in the breaking news coming out of Iran (which will air late Thursday, GMT).

Mr. Munthe, said: “Citizen journalism is powerful and in demand. The images and stories Demotix street reporters file from Iran are being seen by 1000s of people and used by news outlets all over the world. And—as foreign correspondents are being blocked and expelled from the country—our contributors’ work becomes even more relevant and important.”

About Demotix: Demotix is a citizen-journalism website and photo agency. It takes user-generated content (UGC) and photographs from freelance journalists and amateurs, and markets them to international audiences and the mainstream media. Demotix was founded with two principles at its heart – the freedom of speech and the freedom to know. Its objective is nothing if not ambitious – to rescue journalism and promote free expression by connecting independent journalists with the traditional media. Demotix now has over 5000 members, in 110 countries around the world from Afghanistan to Zambia.

Racism Today In The Church and In America!

Pastor — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 04:37:55 +0000

I Did an Article about 19yrs ago that was Printed in The Morning Advocate in Baton Rouge,La March 31,1990.at the time This article was about Flag-Burning and Racism..,after looking back over the years I Can still see that even in 2009 Racism is still alive and well in America..,and you would think that after so many years of struggling and bloodshed,that we as a nation would be pass that by now but not so.One of the things that saddens and hurts me to the very core of my heart.is the fact that even in 2009 this evil plague called injustice,prejudice and racism still exists right here in The United States of America.even today in America,there are those who out of just plain ignorance,pride and stupidity are advocating and promoting racism and injustice.most of them are leaders of this country..,and you would think that by now they would grown up by now.you know a lot of times they look for ways to oppress and suppress people.a lot of time racism and prejudice hide itself behind the Mask.Businesses,Ministers,teachers,they really don’t want anyone to know how they really feel behind close doors.they act one way in the public while having another agenda behind close doors.My Wife and I Went out of town this pass weekend to one of our Church Conference,
here in Louisiana And while staying at a Hotel my Wife over heard a White male tell the hotel clerk after he was told that they did not have any rooms available.He responded by saying “if their were’nt so many niggers here tonight We could get a Room.” but I Still believe and realize that despite the mischievous ways of some people that there is still hope and still a reason for dreaming.

for Malachi 2:10 asks,Have we not all one Father? Hath not one God created us? why do deal treacherously every man against his bother? By profaning the covenant of our fathers?.

Job 31:15 asks,did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?.

its time that we learn to get beyond this color thing, this skin thing, whether we except it or not, we are all in this thing together whether we like it or not that the way God planed it..,thats the way God want it to be.
there are something that are important for every believer and child of God to understand racism and prejudice is not of Jesus Christ.We must understand our place in God’s Kingdom.

1 Corinthians 8:6 says,But to us there is but one “God,”the Father,of whom are all things,and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ,by whom are all things,and we by Him.
America and every child of God must learn to get beyond falsehood and hypocrisy its time to Remove the Mask..,Stop throwing a rock and hiding ya hand America..,

Galatians 3:28 says There is neither Jew nor Greek,there is neither bond nor free,there is neither male nor female;for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Through Christ we understand that there should be no practice of racism,Oppression or Sexism America its time to do away with all this prejudice, racism,and sexism
