Equality In Gods Eyes

Posted on September 6, 2009 by Troy Wagstaff

EQUALITY

There is no place in this world for sexism, racism or bigotry. No one is better than anyone else in Gods eyes. He loves us all the same. He may not care for our actions and He doesn’t like our sins but He loves each one of us just the same.

Prejudice should have no place in our hearts or actions. Equality is what we should all be concerned about. I don’t mean we are all equal from the stand point of talent or intelligence. How many Albert Einstein’s are there? How many Martin Luther Kings are there? But in Gods eyes we are all loved equally.

We should have the equality that we can all advance according to our talents and abilities and not be held back because of the color of our skins or our appearance or disabilities or anything that makes us look different.

Are we so afraid of our own limitations that we feel that suppressing others gives us a boost up?

Getting rid of being prejudiced and promoting equality is healthy for everyone. We can all benefit by equality. We all can be hurt by being prejudice. Would you want to be the subject of prejudice.

Choices and Consequences

Posted on August 3, 2009 by Troy Wagstaff

Choices and Consequences

Choice brings with it consequences. Every day brings a plethora of choices and our lives are the sum of the consequences of those choices. (Callahan)

It seems that it is becoming politically correct in our society to deny the reality of consequences to our actions. It is a Christian principle that for every action results in a consequence. This is taught in the Bible as what you sow, that shall ye reap. The consequence of planting a field of barley is a harvest of barley. If you wanted wheat, you should have planted wheat.

If you don’t want to go to jail then you shouldn’t commit crime. If you want to go to heaven then you should live by the words of the prophets and apostles contained in the Bible along with the everlasting words of truth taught by Jesus Christ in the four gospels.

We have a choice to forgive others or not. The consequence of forging others is that The Lord will forgive us. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the teachings of actions and consequences. We are granted agency to choose for ourselves. We have never be granted the freedom from consequences. We can choose for ourselves but we cannot choose the resulting consequences.
