Correction for the wise

In Proverbs 9:8 it reads “Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man and he will love you.” Just an interesting though and the verse before it says you are setting your self up for insult when you correct the mocker for they have no interest in changing there ways. I see several things in this verse.

First don’t waste your time correcting those who will not listen to you. If you have tried once or twice and they do not listen then leave them alone and do not waste your time and energy trying to help them.

Second don’t take offense when people correct you. When someone corrects you it shows that they believe you might actually change they view you as worth the time it takes to correct or make wiser. If you become angry at peoples corrections then you are proving yourself not to be wise but if you take that correction gracefully and think about it and change something if need be you will be seen as wiser and you will be wiser.

Third if you never receive correction from anyone maybe this means that you have ignored people 1 to many times and they feel you will not listen… you are not wise enough to take their advice. If you are not getting corrected I can assure you of one thing it is not because you are perfect, far more likely is that you have turned down peoples advice to much and they do not view you as someone worth “guiding/helping”

Christian Music?

As I was riding in my car today I was listening to a song “only one” but Yellowcard it is a nice love song in which the singer says “Scream my lungs out to get to you, you are my only  one”. Steven my brother was riding with you and said good song what is it about. Note that Steven listens to almost all Christian music I listen to about an even mix of Christian and secular. I could tell he was asking if it was a Christian song or not. I just find it kinda sad the way Christian music has gone now, I feel like people are too afraid to actually praise God in there songs and cry out to him in a way that people will know what they are talking about. I feel like it is becoming more of an industry a way to make money a way to become know as a musician not a place where people write songs of worship to God. When I go buy a “Christian CD” I want to know that it will be worshiping God boldly I don’t want to have to wonder if it is about God or some girl.

Abortion Should be Legal!

Ok before you freak out listen. What I mean is there should not be a law against abortion and I strongly believe that. I have heard people say it is just wrong because it is against my religion. The last place I heard it and it made me mad was at the pregancy help center dinner in 2007. He is trying to support why abortion should not be legal and is reasoning sucked and it just made me mad cause if people are trying to support pro-life with these arguments it is no wonder that abortion is still accepted and legal in the US.
What I think is that we should not be outlawing abortion on the grounds that it is wrong because as a religion we value life and believe that God values all life. Because I do not want to live in a country that bases its laws on what the biggest religion believes. Because then if ever another religion becomes prevalent then laws will be made against what I believe to support them. Basing any law on any religion pulls us away from how our country was meant to be in the first place, completely free from any religion with complete freedom of religion.

But I still believe it is very wrong that abortions are being allowed all the time. ABORTION IS MURDER and that is how it should be tried that is how decisions about abortion should be made. No abortion can ever be legal because it is murder and that is completely out lawed in any way shape or form in our country. When you stop and think about it I do not see how anyone can say it is part of the womens body and she has a right to do what she wants. You can see pictures that is a little baby in there and I do not see how anyone can deny it.

So just to be clear in case this was in question at all from what I have put above. I do not support abortion in any way I simply do not believe there should be a law against it because it would overlap the murder laws. I think we need to enforce the laws of murder against abortion. It is no different from any other murder so it should not have its own law. It should simply be tried as premeditated murder.
