RECENT VIRGINIA CHURCH SERVICE – STIMULUS SERMON

Genesis 47:13-27

I would love to give the Pastor of this predominantly black church in Virginia a hug and a high five. This guy is obviously a leader. Perhaps we should each decide who our real leader is…..Very little has changed in 4,000 years.

Good morning, brothers and sisters;

it’s always a delight to see the pews crowded on Sunday morning, and so eager to get into God’s Word.  Turn with me in your Bibles, if you will to the 47th chapter of Genesis, we’ll begin our reading at verse 13, and go through verse 27.

Brother Ray, would you stand and read that great passage for us? …..(reading)…

Thank you for that fine reading, Brother Ray.

So we see that economic hard times fell upon  Egypt , and the people turned to the government of Pharaoh to deal with this for them.  And Pharaoh nationalized the grain harvest, and placed the grain in great storehouses that he had built.

So the people brought their money to Pharaoh, like a great tax increase, and gave it all to him willingly in return for grain.  And this went on until their money ran out, and they were hungry again.

So when they went to Pharaoh after that, they brought their livestock -their cattle, their horses, their sheep, and their donkey - to barter for grain, and verse 17 says that only took them through the end of that year.

But the famine wasn’t over, was it?  So the next year, the people came before Pharaoh and admitted they had nothing left, except their land and their own lives. “There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land.  Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land?  Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh.”

So they surrendered their homes, their land, and their real estate to Pharaoh’s government, and then sold themselves into slavery to him in return for grain.

What can we learn from this, brothers and sisters? That turning to the government instead of to God to be our provider in hard times only leads to slavery?  Yes.. That the only reason government wants to be our provider is to also become our master? Yes.

But look how that passage ends, brothers and sisters!

Thus

Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the  land of  Goshen .  And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly.” God provided for His people, just as He always has!  They didn’t end up giving all their possessions to government, no, it says they gained possessions!  But I also tell you a great truth today, and an ominous one.

We see the same thing happening today – the government today wants to “share the wealth” once again, to take it from us and redistribute it back to us.  It wants to take control of healthcare, just as it has taken control of education, and ration it back to us, and when government rations it, then government decides who gets it, and how much, and what kind.  And if we go along with it, and do it willingly, then we will wind up no differently than the people of Egypt did four thousand years ago – as slaves to the government, and as slaves to our leaders.

What Mr. Obama’s government is doing now is no different from what

Pharaoh’s government did then and it will end the same.  And a lot of people like to call Mr.Obama a “Messiah,” don’t they?  Is he a Messiah? A savior?  Didn’t the Egyptians say, after Pharaoh made them his slaves, “You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh”?

Well, I tell you this - I know the Messiah; the Messiah is a friend of mine; and Mr. OBAMA IS NO MESSIAH!  No, brothers and sisters, if Mr. Obama is a character from the Bible, then he is Pharaoh.

Bow with me in prayer, if you will…

Lord, You alone are worthy to be served, and we rely on You, and You alone.  We confess that the government is not our deliverer, and never rightly will be. We read in the eighth chapter of 1 Samuel, when Samuel warned the people of what a ruler would do, where it says “And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day..”

And Lord, we acknowledge that day has come. We cry out to you because of the ruler that we have chosen for ourselves as a nation. Lord, we pray for this nation.  We pray for revival, and we pray for deliverance from those who would be our masters.  Give us hearts to seek You and hands to serve You, and protect Your people from the atrocities of Pharaoh’s government.

In God We Trust…

The Sheep

I tell people that I am a Christian and they look down on me. They say I am a clueless sheep. They are right, I am a sheep surrounded by ferocious wolves. Too bad for the wolves, I have a mighty shepherd in the Lord Jesus Christ and will stand tall among the wolves without fear.

Flawed, but saved by the Flawless!

5 Sentences!

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you’ll ever read:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity,
by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for,
another person must work for without receiving.
3, The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.
5. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

I am a Christian!

I am a Christian, if you don’t like Christians, then please fully explain to me your problems with Christians. I believe you have fully been fooled into the media’s depiction of Christians. Talk with me, I will do my best to clear things up. Stop listening to what others tell you we are and make the decision your self. Stop listening to what others say and hear for yourself.

Calling all game making Christians!

I have me a game engine I’ve been working on alone until now. You can see it some here. I want to make some free Bible based games and would like any help I can get.

I’m talking all aspects of game making. Coders, Graphics, Modeling, Sound and Music, Animating, Stories…. If you would like to join me, please contact me @ vincentlancon@cableone.net. Put in the subject Game Creating. Nothing is set in stone yet, and I will make a site for us as soon as we can come up with a plan.

Maybe we do a simple Noah’s Ark “collecting” game where you have to find 2 of each animal … or something else… you can help decide….
