Church Is Where You Take It! |Boundless Church

I was speaking to my Barber as he was cutting my hair. I’ve gotten to know him well. It’s been almost a decade.
There are barbers closer to me. I had one before that is about a 5-minute drive who cuts hair just as well, but his bedside manner is atrocious. The current Barber is a little bit longer ride.
The reason I go to him is that he is one of the most Christ-like people I know.
In the years I’ve been going there, he regularly shows me an example of what a Christian should be.
People come in to see him and wait, sometimes hours to ask him questions. He is one of the best counselors I’ve heard. He gives scripture in every answer, and Christ’s love is always apparent.
Sometimes, I wish that I could have his patience. Homeless people come in asking to use the restroom. He lets them use it, and after they leave, excuses himself to clean it, so that his paying customers will not complain.
He wanted to be a Catholic priest early in his life and decided that marriage was more important. I agree with my Barber’s statement. Adam was lonely, even when walking with God. Men and women are never to be isolated, except to fast from each other.

All this to say, my Barber encourages me incredibly; and for that, I am eternally grateful. Why? Because he knows I am a pastor, and I know he loves God being a Catholic. Yet, we both are working in the LORD’s Harvest until the day He sounds the Trumpets for His workers to stop the work and go and celebrate. I am delighted and rejoice when it’s time to see my Barber because we can chat about Christ and point all who hear us to Him!

If you own a business or if you are a coach, or stay at home mom, or if you are a jet setter traveling all over the place, church is everywhere and anywhere. Go out and make disciples. Point evryone to Jesus! There is no boundery or limit or lack of people!

P.S. i didn’t name him because I will not take his crown away!

No Weapon Will Stand! |God’s Protection

The LORD was showing the prophet Isaiah what was to come in the future when God’s people would be reconciled with their LORD. You see, God’s people had been spiritually sliding backward, towards the way of their neighbors around them. The Canaanites were sacrificing their children to their gods. The Amalekites were also doing the same thing. All the cultures around them were very sensuous in their worship and their made up gods reflected their sinful hearts. God was not having any of that kind of sin for His chosen ones.

His people had to be holy as He was Holy (1 Peter 1:15); and they had to separate themselves from the primary culture of the day. Most of Israel did not or were not able to do this. The culture at the time was just too tempting for them. They wanted the sensualness of the Canaanite and Phoenicians. I will not get into what this means, just imagine the major cities of the U.S., add the Hollywood effect to uncensored lifestyle of the so called movers and shakers in the industry; and you can imagine what went on.

Hollywood is hell-bent on changing our children and grandchildren’s minds on what we are teaching them morally at home.
Parents, I highly suggest you pray hard and ask God to show you; do your own research on what is being transmitted and passed as viewable for all ages.

I ask you to have a notepad or your phone ready to count the number of times you see something inappropriate on programs your kids are watching.

When I say inappropriate, I mean things that the Bible would say are not suitable to see, learn, or be instilled into, and not by what parents think is deemed safe to watch. There is a big difference because all of us have been bombarded by watching TV ourselves. So what we think is okay to show kids, may not be okay or approved by the LORD.

Your kids are going to do what you do, and see what you see. Don’t allow the weapons of sensuality, violence, and warped morals to slowly creep into the little minds of our kids, by allowing them to watch unfiltered TV programs and movies.

This is Hollywood’s big gamble, the producers and writers know that most parents give their kids ample time in front of the screens, whether TV, Computers or Cell phones.

Hollywood’s agenda is to change people’s ways in which they see life. They want a Hollywood version of what morality is, because they hate what the original version of morality portrays them to be.

Please don’t allow the ideas of a few to dictate what your kids will end up thinking and living.
And screen their time on watching things via TV, the Internet, and texts from friends.

Will this guarantee safe passage throughout your kids’ life? No, but remember that when you are diligent in teaching them God’s ways, nothing the enemy will do, will hurt them. And if by chance a fiery arrow does hit one of them, remind them that all of the enemy’s weapons are useless long-term and eternally. Tell them to keep running that race and to trust that God will be their shield, even when they fall…

If you need God’s guidance to help you through the tough times with your family, get to know Him better:

Before Trying to Teach Our Kids This…|California Educational Agenda

This is Part 2 of the CEA Series. I highly suggest you read The Man On The Rooftop first before reading this post…

All things are possible. have faith.png

1. Today, I want to ask those who are villianizing parents who are completely against the educational system’s indoctrination of our children, to really think the following points thoroughly.

We need to prioritize the system better than what we are doing for our California Public & Private school children.

2. I am one of those parents who is ccompletely & categorically in favor of the idea of educators refraining from teaching sex education to our children, no matter the age.

This is the job of parents.
And if parents are not too thrilled about sharing the ‘birds & the bees‘ with their children, maybe this is when the educational system should jump in and help those parents.
Specifically, in teaching classes for parents on how to explain sexual matters to their kids.
Not a teacher teaching students the ‘do’s & don’t’s’ of sexual education.
I am completely & categorically in favor of California The Board of Education teaching our children Reading, Writing & Arithmetic.

Also teaching Real Life Budgeting, Real Life Finances, Real Life Public Speaking.

Training our public school children in Conflict Communication, in a well thought out manner; teaching our children that they can come to an agreement without using:

—Fists

—Legs

—Teeth

—Foul mouths

—Firearms

—& Friends

— to do their dirty work.

Set Goals Achieve Succeed Repeat.png

3. I am also completely & categorically in favor of Educators teaching our public school children to use:

Technology
Training in Sports
Real Life Goal Setting where students of all ages learn what it is to win in the little battles of life by achieving success.
Giving awards for achievements Goal Setting with real life awards like gift cards in which the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, Godparents etc., will be happy to furnish.
For those that can’t afford this, I mean those parents in absolute dire need of help,
not the ones who don’t want to work; the community can step in and help with those parents or grandparents to get their award cards.

It’s time to make our children a priority.

Instead of trying to shove the adulterated curriculum to our children, why doesn’t the California Dept. of Education stop this “Health Education Curriculum”

And instead, concentrate on bringing California’s educational grades up from ninth to last place in the Union.

Yes, I’ll say this again, Stop teaching things that children should not be learning & start really focusing on making the California Education system the best in the Union

& why not the world?

I will be posting the depressing low marks of California schools next post…
