7th Law of Health

Less than 5 gallons. Less than 5 minutes.

Proper Use of Water

This is the next in the series on the Laws of health. This is so important. We are, "Dying for lack of knowledge." as the Bible says. I hear about people all the time that are dying from cancer, and their not old, and they can't understand why. They are so careful about their diet, many of them vegetarians, and even vegans. Of the seven laws of health, proper diet is only number 6. This doesn't do much for you without the others. "A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link." They are all linked together. If you break one you break them all. James 2 : 10. Here is the whole list.

1: Fresh air. 2: Sunlight. 3: Rest. 4: Exercise. 5: Abstemiousness. 6: Proper diet. 7: Proper use of water.

Then is number 8. Trust in divine power. Positive attitude. This is ideally involved in all the 7.

At the other end of the spectrum is zero. Which would be total carelessness. Kind of like the 7 colors of the rainbow. Zero is black, the absence of color, and 8 is white, like white light. If you spin a wheel with all 7 colors there equally, it will look white. You can see all of these in a natural open fire. Everything from black to white.

This is quite a delicate subject. With our unlimited supply of hot water and plumbing and energy, no one wants to think about living without it, and they sure don't want anyone to tell them they are too clean.

True to form, we are going to start, with a look at history.

Our so called civilization, started with Babylon, Biblically speaking the first world power. It was the Romans ( 4th world power.) that really implemented a worldwide system of roads, canals, architecture, politics, and their hierarchal slave system.

All over the old Roman empire, and especially Europe are the remnants of their hot bath houses. Made with rocks or bricks and the concrete mortar they used that was invented in those times. These were for the ruling upper class. You can imagine how much it cost to keep all that water hot, and how many slaves to keep the fires going, and how they stripped the forests, just so they could soak in hot water.

This was the beginning of the white races of people. Only slaves worked out in the sun and were smelly and sweaty and dirty. The aristocrats sat around in the shade and soaked in hot water! Sure there were always lighter and darker shades of people, but they were just different shades of brown.

There are serious comparisons to the fall of the Roman Empire and what we are doing today in modern civilization.

The first is destructive farming practices. The Romans made the Sahara desert, with their slave power, clearing and burning new land so they could feed their people and their armies and grow their cotton. Now the whole world is adopting American (The sixth world power.) farming methods, all dependent on artificial fertilizer herbicides and pesticides, developed from fossil fuel. Now we even have the added attraction of "Frankenstein" genetically altered farming.

Second is chemical poisoning. The elite Romans had expensive lead cookware. They even added powdered lead to their food. Their expert scientists said it was a good supplement. I'm going to try not to write a book here about our modern scientific tampering with Nature and the evolutionistic idea that God didn't create anything but we will evolve to the point where we will.

No one believes that real food is any good anymore, which is true for the most part, however no one could possibly know what to add, let alone how much, and no more is not better. Extra vitamins, supplements, and stimulants create other problems from imbalances, not to mention the strain on your liver and kidneys. You think eating lead was stupid? We are killing ourselves with innumerable contaminants from aluminum and plastic, to chemicals and pharmaceuticals.

Third is their hot baths. They theorize that diseases were growing and spreading in these communal hot houses. They didn't have chlorine, BUT WE DO!!! We are so smart.

This created a reaction that produced the opposite effect. Rome fell into decline, overrun by dirty smelly barbarians that were healthier and stronger. Earthy people always are. There own slaves would have been healthier and stronger if not for the problem of being over worked. You will notice in the list of health principles, rest is before exercise.

For many years after this, a lot of people believed bathing would make you sick. Even in George Washington's time most people only took a bath once or twice a year, although this is better than soaking in hot water everyday, that is if you have clean laundry.

In the mid to late 1800's, and even until the mid 1900's in many places, clean people took a bath once a week. I want you to understand why they weren't really clean, and why they were just getting whiter. Now we have millions of people with no complexion. Some are even allergic to the sun.

Do you have any idea what soap and hot water does to your skin? Sure, it gets you real nice and clean for about one minute, by then you've totally exposed your skin to deeply absorb a myriad of dirty critters. All it does is break down your skins natural protection, leaving it wide open. Well, of course now we have plumbing. We can take a hot soapy bath everyday. Do you know how toxic and caustic soap is? If you don't believe me just put the smallest amount in your mouth, or get it in your eyes. Just a small concentration in a river or lake will break down the protection of the skin of fish. Just hot water alone turns you to mush. Great warriors of the past knew this. From Alexander the Great to John L. Sullivan. They only bathed in cold water. They say there are more bacteria on your skin than there are people on the earth, and a hot shower makes them grow and multiply!!!

When my wife was little, her mother took her and her little brother and sister to the doctor. They were sick all the time. The doctor said, "They are too clean. They need to play in the dirt everyday." That was 45 years ago. Just two years ago I heard about a study that showed a definite link with the use of soap and cancer in children. The sicker we get the more paranoid we are and the more sterilants we use.

Anyone can see we are creating an opaque race, devoid of pigment, and vulnerable to the sun. I should receive the Noble Peace prize for preventing cancer and saving water and energy. Instead, I'm crazy because I'm the only one telling you this. Who wants to hear that germs are natural, soap is bad, hot water is debilitating, and sunshine is good?

I know, "Of the writing of books there is no end." There's just too much too learn or unlearn on this subject. We need to look at the Biblical perspective. The Bible gives us everything we need to know about every aspect of life. In all the council given to Moses by God for sanitation and hygiene, cold water was the only prescription for cleaning anything. The word soap isn't in the Bible. It does mention the fuller or soap maker. Soap belongs in the laundry. The Jews were always known for their healthy complexion and odor, and their hard work. It's not like they were lazy and smelly.

What about today? Do we have any up to date counsel about how to bathe? Yes we do. It's what the Bible calls the Spirit of Prophecy. What is it? Let me explain, that is if you aren't tired of reading my bath book. The Spirit of Prophecy is the Spirit of inspiration that gave us the books of the Bible. Even though it was written by various human instruments (Prophets), it was "God breathed." The Bible also gives several criteria for testing a true prophet. Mainly that they agree with the Law and Moses. Isaiah 8 : 20. Everything has to be based on the Ten Commandments, especially the way we interpret the Bible. You can't build anything on the sinking shifting sands of human opinion. I Corinthians 14 tells us that the gift of prophecy is the greatest gift in the church. Do you know why Paul was inspired to say that? It was because God's professed people had murdered most of the prophets and had rejected the Messiah, the greatest prophet of all.

Nothing has changed. Very few today would accept a modern prophet, for the same reason. They were all imperfect humans. Even if they were perfect they would not be perceived as such. Look at what they did to Immanuel.

From the beginning of the Advent movement in the early 1840's until her death in 1915 at the age of 87. Ellen White had over 2000 visions and wrote more than any other author on health and fitness, medical insights, hydrotherapy, diet, the dangers of caffeine, tobacco, drugs, etc. etc. Like I said in her day, clean people took a bath once a week. She said to take a bath everyday. Unfortunately many people never read the whole story. Here are the other important quotes from her pen. "Frequent hot baths of a long duration are debilitating." "Cold water is beneficial, and tones the system." She took a short sponge bath every morning. This makes much more sense than stewing in hot soapy water once a week.

I take a quick hot cold splash every morning. In the winter here the water is nice and cold. I swish the tub out until my feet start to ache. Then a hot splash under the arms, etc. Then the cold rinse. I really feel grimy if I don't get a good cold rinse. This closes your pores, kills germs, and stimulates your circulation and lymph system. The hot and cold really gets you clean. I never get water on my back. In the spring I still have some permanent tan left. I tan right up nice, early in the spring without getting burned. First you learn to negotiate, then appreciate cold water.

Showers are evil and gross. It takes more time to clean them adequately than the time it takes to shower. They never get cleaned unless you have a butler or maid. They rain down from the top and ruin your skin from the top down. In a tub you submerse the worst and wash from the bottom up. This can be done with very little water and effectively, because you rinse with cold clean cheap water. You preserve your hide on top where you need the protection from the sun beating down.

This is so foreign to modern man. Just remember, if you never took a bath, but had clean clothes to put on everyday, you would be cleaner than most of the people who ever lived.

The Natives used to have fun, all they had to do was steal a cowboy's clothes and he'd burn up in the sun. Being a pale face is a sad story. Statistics show they have about 10 times greater risk of skin cancer. Dark skinned people absorb sunlight more readily if they get out, but their cancer is more internal. Most fair skinned people would never dream of getting a tan, even if they knew how. They say, "That's the way I am, I'm just a Caucasian. Did you know that the Australian Aborigines are Caucasian.

What can you do? Let's take a look, and review some.

To begin with, start young. It's so critical what happens when your young. Whether it's diet or exercise or schooling. Mental, physical, or spiritual. "From childhood you have learned the Holy Scriptures that make you wise unto salvation." II Timothy 3 : 15. Children should play outside in the sunshine and dirt all summer. Instead of spending days in the water and chlorine getting burned on their face and shoulders. This is the time to gain a complexion for life. Kids only need a couple of inches of hot water in the tub. Then you pull the plug and turn on the cold water and let them introduce themselves. In many cultures, mainly the poor primitive ones, children played outside all summer naked, until they were 5 or 6. I know it sounds so "uncivilized." It's easy to imagine though, out in the wilderness. Clothes were just scarce. Diapers were a real nuisance. This also satisfies youngsters curiosity about the opposite sex while they are still innocent.

Stay out of the water, especially hot or chlorine water. If you are short on color you really can't afford it. Here is something else most people don't know. One of the ways you get vitamin D and other nutrients from the sun is when your skin absorbs your own sweat, especially in the sun. "The best bath you can take is a sweat bath, and the best sweat bath is a sunbath."

Do you know the best thing to put on a sunburn? NOTHING!!! Don't forget this. There is nothing that helps a sunburn. Any kind of lotion or aloe just seals in the heat and messes up the chemistry of your skin. You don't want to dilute the tanning juices with water either, while they are doing their job. I know it's hard to do, but that's just the way it is. When I get a little burned, just enough to turn into a tan, I put on a soft cotton T shirt. In the summer when I get sweaty and dirty, I just put on a clean T shirt, unless I'm real hot and dirty, then I take a quick cold splash.

Eat your carrots, and other fresh yellow and green things, and even cooked squash like the Indians did. This provides vitamin A, and color, and helps produce melanin, and makes up for a multitude of evils.

I've mentioned this before. Don't wear a stupid duckbill hat. You need a tan on your forehead. This is vital if your face is turning red instead of tanning. Those hats shade your eyes, but your ears and neck and nose are toast. If you have to be out in the sun and your getting baked and fried, you need a full wide brim, maybe even with a curtain in the back. In the winter I can't stand anything that blocks the sun. I wear what we call a sherpa or Inca wool stocking type hat. The ultimate is the Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, coonskin cap. I have one that I made from two raccoons. It's a $500.00 hat believe it or not. If it's really cold I put that thing on and my head is so warm I feel like I'm in by the stove. I'm sure it would prevent head aches, head colds, baldness, and grey hair!!! I can't believe how many wear those stupid baseball hats all winter, they don't even take them off to eat. I wonder if they sleep with them on, the way their hair sticks out the hole in the back.

Another thing that needs to be addressed is, underarm odor. Your parents or grandparents probably told you when you got older, to go back in the shower with the soap and not come out until you didn't smell anymore. There's a few things to know about this too.

Some people have a strong body odor and still smell when they get out of the bath. If they soak in enough hot water it gets the impurities out well enough for a few hours. They still have to have deodorant. The best deodorant I've found is alcohol. I use it to wash under my arms with tissue real well. Usually just once a week before church. Maybe for some other get together. Once a week will kill those bacteria before they get out of hand, if you get cold water every morning and wear wool. Sometimes a cotton T shirt will make me smell right away. In old times some people used strong wine or whiskey. Naturally, you will smell better if you put the alcohol under your arms instead of down your throat! The most important though is diet, knowing good habits of eating and drinking. If I eat onions it will take 3 days for it to get out of my system. Eat real food and drink water. This is the best prescription for everything. Now I'm getting into "#6. Proper Diet." I will write that book later. Onions and garlic are toxic. They can be medicinal obviously, when they will kill most everything but you. They can poison livestock. I call them Nature's chemotherapy. You don't want to be on a steady diet of that kind of medicine.

Surviving Winter

"There's No Such Thing as Bad Weather!"

"Just poor clothing, poor circulation, and a poor attitude!"

This is an extension of the previous article, "Surviving Summer". You need to read it also. That is if you want to survive. You can see the 7 last plagues coming right down on us. The first one is sickness and disease. Second, the ocean starts to die. Third, the rivers begin to die. Fourth, men will be scorched with great heat. Then comes the darkness and cold. Then more extreme weather, great hail stones. Then the worldwide earthquake.

To begin with, right now, just to survive the pollution in the water and the food chain, you need optimum fresh air and sunshine. The first thing all patients need is fresh air.

The northern latitudes have the highest cancer rate. My father lived exactly in the middle of Montana, which has the highest cancer rate of all the 50 states. He died in 2003 at the age of 68 from skin cancer that had moved into his brain. This was unexpected because, not only was he a great athlete, and never smoked or drank, his ancestors especially on his mother's side all lived to nearly 100. In fact my grandmother died 3 years later at 93.

To begin to analyze this we need to go way back and try to understand the history of the human race.

Before Noah's flood, we lived to 800 or so. Why do you suppose that is? The Bible says that in the beginning there were two lights. Did you know that most solar systems are two sun systems? Some are 3 or 4, so I've heard. There was more light, but it was filtered. Creation scientists estimate that the vapor barrier that enveloped the globe was 11 miles thick. They also say that there were 3 atmospheres of pressure, which caused everything to be much more oxygenated. This was the only way some of those huge dinosaurs could have lived. You get the picture, more light, more oxygen, these are the first two laws of health.

Now this brings me back to my subject. People in the northern latitudes suffer more cancer cases obviously due to the lack of light, but why, more than they did, say 100 years ago? This would be evident I think, even disregarding the pollution factor.

The answer is in the previous article just mentioned. The average American now spends 90% of their time inside.

So, here is the real question. What is the best way to get sunlight in the winter? Obviously, people in the north suffer from light deprivation, especially during those short days. You might be surprised to learn that winter is the best time to soak up the sun. You are probably wondering what I'm talking about.

I'm about as pale faced as they come. Red hair and blue eyes. The summer sun is brutal. I was past 40 when I finally found out how to keep a tan. I used to spend all summer every year getting sunburned. There is a lot to know about this.

It all begins with knowing how to dress, and of all things, how to bathe. I start early in the spring to retrieve my tan, by dressing right. I saw an actual photograph once of native Nez Perce bucks with their deerskin leggings, no shirts, and snow on the ground, and their headdresses on. If you keep your head and your feet warm, you'll be warm. If I don't get out early in the spring, it gets too hot and I get burned before I get tanned. You know what happens on the first hot weekend. Everyone heads for camp and the beach so they can get fried in spite of their sunscreen. Later in the summer when it's really hot, I try to stay in the shade. I still take an occasional sun bath though in my shorts during the summer, to try and get a complete even tan. I never get sun burned more than a little sensation, enough to turn into more tan. Like I said in the previous article, most people only get sun on their ears, nose, back of the neck and forearms. Then they don't tan, they just turn red.

Now, back to the question, "How do you get sun in the winter?"

Like I just said, before the flood it was warm and cloudy and bright. They never saw the bare naked sun. Even at night when there was just the lesser light there was a lot of energy everywhere. Reflected light is just as beneficial and more than safe, and there's a lot more to light than we can know. It's not just the heat and the light, it's the energy, the electricity, and the elements, and other properties, all of which none of us completely understand.

I want to tell you how to be a healthy sun collector and absorber, instead of a sick cave dweller, hiding from the sun everyday.

#1. The first single most important thing you can do for your health is, sleep outside! Especially if you work inside. "Artificial heat destroys the vitality of the air." E.G.W. Over 100 years ago.

The worst thing you can do is sleep by the heater. Open the windows, get some cross ventilation. If you're sick, stuff yourself in as many blankets as you can find and stick your head out the window! Millions of patients have died needlessly, when they would have lived if they could have had air. "The best indoor air is worse than the worst outside air in Los Angeles on a smoggy day." The energy, the vitality, and the elements of sunlight are outside, some more so at night.

#2. Dress to be outside. In the northern climes, you want to always be warm and comfortable. When you come inside you want to be choking for fresh air and heading back out. In other words if you are always looking for a heater because you are cold, something is wrong. If you have poor circulation like I do, you have to over dress. I ruined my circulation when I was young, trying to be the tough guy. You see this with the school kids all the time. They have to go to school half naked in the middle of winter so that no one will think they are a sissy. Remember, cold of a short duration stimulates your circulation. Over exposure to cold for a long duration can permanently damage your circulatory system's performance.

#3. Wear pure wool. God says to wear pure unadulterated wool. The Bible has the answer to everything. Look how the animals survive with their fur. Wool collects light and electricity, and conducts it to your skin. It also conditions your skin and allows it to breath freely. Cotton is dead and dark, blocking out all the light. I see people all the time that are all bundled up in cotton coats and sweats. They look like they can't keep warm. No matter how much they have on they seem to be shivering in the dark. The rescue experts will all tell you that you will most likely survive lost in the wilderness or whatever if you are wearing wool. If cotton gets wet you are in trouble. This is the best way to get light. You might say filtered light. Instead of the brutal summer sun.

In the old times this wasn't so critical because most people spent most of their time outside.

I like to wear pure wool sweaters. If it's real cold I'll have three of them on. It works great. The more sweaters I have on, the more I feel like I'm collecting more light. Even when you go inside you are still reaping the benefits of the outdoor elements.

Once the cold weather comes in the fall, I can't stand to wear anything else. Then I rotate them. I have certain ones I like to wear to bed, others for when I get out of the bath, and of course those for work. I hang some of them outside to air out. This reduces the laundry considerably. Wool has a natural magic way of cleaning itself, and your skin. I would like to have one of those 2 inch thick Australian wool mattress pads. They are supposed to help arthritis. It's like getting light at night.

The colder it is the more it stimulates my circulation. No matter how bad the weather is, I come in sweating, warm and toasty. I have to stay out and work long enough to get my blood going though.

This is what everyone needs, to get out and deal with it everyday, hot or cold. The extreme heat and cold purges your system. This is so important, and it may only require an hour or two a day.

Marble King

The Pearl of Great Price

" A Good Reputation is Worth more the Gold "

I remember when I was very young, I was totally obsessed with marbles. At one point in my childhood it seems like they were the most wonderful and valuable thing I knew. A good part of the attraction came from the fact that they came in so many endless, beautiful varieties. There were, Cat Eyes, Clearies, Beachballs, Alabasters, Clays, Pewters, Chinas, Indians, etc. etc. We were always testing the different marbles we owned to determine which were the best shooters that would stick. A good shooter would stick and send the enemy marble out of the ring, at which point of course it became a prisoner. If you're shooter was still in the ring you got another shot. It wasn't that long ago when most kids played marbles. Now this great American pastime has been largely replaced with high tech garbage. I think I was exceptional at least in the sense that I really liked marbles. I still do. How could anyone not like them? They're beautiful. I was different though. I couldn't understand why other kids lost interest and before long they had lost all their marbles!

Of course, at some point in time, I came to realize that marbles were really cheap and worthless, but I still liked them. Now they have more of a sentimental, symbolic, value. What do you suppose those marbles represent?

When I became a teenager, I still liked marbles. While other kids were going crazy and doing crazy things, I was working and studying. Learning to run a chainsaw and play guitar. When I got into high school, I still liked marbles. When other kids were hot rodding around blowing there parents money and getting in trouble. I was working. Helping my Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles. When I became an adult I still liked marbles. While my contemporaries were getting into "Fast cars and whiskey, long haired girls and fun." I was working. Hoping to start a family.

In the Bible pearls are symbolic of the precious truth hidden in God's Word. Jesus said, "The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant man seeking valuable pearls." When he had found the greatest pearl, he paid everything he had for it. In reality, the pearl itself has no value other than in what it represents. It's kind of the same way with gold, which represents obedience. Maybe you've heard of the "Gold of Obedience." The funny thing is, our disobedience is what we often wind up trading for gold.

You know the old saying, "All that glitters is not gold." It's so easy for young people to believe that the pearl is what has value. How can they begin to learn that gold is superficial.

"Beware of the deceitfulness of riches." God's Word is an inexhaustible treasure house. The best things in life are free.

This is another remake of one of the great Don Williams hits.

Getting it Together

N E E D a J O B ?

" Don't leave any stone unturned."

During the great depression of the 1930's, there were hordes of people out of work. Panic was everywhere. Of course the same thing happened naturally to a lesser extent every so many years before and since. Looking back we can see the country was still young and there was still lots of room to grow. After 10 years of depression and the government trying to fix things, it was WWII that really got us going.

While some people were jumping out of high rise windows, killing themselves because their money was gone, others were finding opportunities. In fact there are a lot of good solid companies that were started and built at that time that are still strong today.

No matter what happens, the trees will still keep growing, certain things will still be needed. Certain services will still have to be provided. People will still need food and shelter and transportation. Some things will even increase in demand. It's a little more serious now because everything has been overbuilt. Especially here in this country, and with all this globalization, it's hard to imagine that we will maintain our so called standard of living. This is all the more reason to re-assess and re-evaluate your situation.

I've had an ongoing ad through the Dept. of Labor for the last 4 months for a journeyman arborist with a minimum of 5 years professional experience. $20.00 an hour depending on experience. 3 people have called, none of them were even close to being qualified. I try to give them council and advice though. People can really get desperate, I'm sure you know about the crime and the gangsters they had during the 30's.

Before you give up I hope you will listen to reason. Here are some common sense solutions to begin with.

Number One: Get your butt in gear! If you really want to get a job, get busy, "Your days of idleness are over." You say, "There's nothing to do." Nonsense, there's alway something to do. "There's no excuse for doing nothing." "The only thing worse than doing nothing is watching TV, at least if you're doing nothing you might be thinking." Get in the habit of getting up and eating breakfast and doing the work that's in front of you, everyday. Staying up at night tends to depression. "Despair is a poor excuse for not having a sense of purpose, and having a sense of purpose is the best way to avoid despair." Naturally the work for the day might be looking for a job. If you've done everything you can think of that could possibly need doing, start studying. Yes this is work too. There's no time to waste, "There's only two kinds of people, those who study and those who watch television." Improve yourself every way. Be prepared. If you think you can sit around until some wonderful perfect job comes along, forget it, those days are over. Besides, what you imagine to be the perfect job is probably no such thing. It is likely just a miserable way to make money and abandon your family.

The competition is getting tough. Who do you think is going to win? If you really want to work, think and act like someone with ambition and work ethic. I know this is disagreeable with a lot of people because they have spent there life learning that there is no dignity in labor. Real work is something to be avoided. We are all too smart for that now. Work is for the lower classes.

Number Two: Think, imagine, dream. "Imagination is more valuable than knowledge." Einstein. "The greatest task of civilization is to teach people to think." Edison. You might have to think outside the box to get past the competition. Otherwise you might have to make your own job. Don't get involved in wild speculation. Concentrate on necessities. Things people need. Avoid novelties, ornaments, and gimmicks. Stick with the basic affordable staples of the common people.

If you are reading this you could be one that can't seem to find anything and running out of time. "Don't worry, be happy." Think positive. Be thankful.

Number Three: Have faith. In a way you might say this should be first. It's easy to go from one extreme to the other when it comes to faith and work. You cannot please Him without faith. Hebrews 11 : 06. In a way though faith is work. You could say the same about Love. Love is faith ( work ) in action. If you ever get confused, remember this to get your priorities straight.

The four basic priorities of life. In order of importance. Work, Church, School, Play.

Everyone works whether they go to church or not. Church is essential for children, fellowship, worship, family, education. "Children should grow up learning the Holy Scriptures, this will make them wise unto salvation." II Timothy 3 : 15. School is just an extension of church. Play is incidental. Too many have it all backwards, thinking that work and school are what you do so you can go play.

What would you think if I said that God really exists, and more than that He is in complete control of everything. Why is the world in such a mess? Most people don't really believe this, and they don't know Him. "God has a thousand ways to provide for us of which we no nothing." The fact is most people just need to be poor, but "It ain't necessarily so." You don't have to be.

Remember, "God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." Hebrews 11 : 06.

I Believe in Love

I Believe in You

Words M. St. Germain & traditional. 2009 Music traditional

I don't believe technology. Can save the world or make us free.

I don't believe that we will find. The answer in our human minds.

That man evolved from lower forms. Or some chaotic cosmic storm.

That we can live in harmony. Until we gain the victory.

But I believe in Love. I believe Your Word. I believe in family. I BELIEVE IN YOU.

I don't believe we'll know true Love. Without the Wisdom from above.

I don't believe the words of men. Unless they rhyme with Your Commands.

And I am just an ordinary man. At least I know just where I stand.

But I believe in Love. I believe in music. I believe in miracles. I BELIEVE IN YOU.

I know with all certainty. What's going on with You and me. Is a good thing.

It's true. I BELIEVE IN YOU.

I can't believe that we've survived. With all the evil things we've tried.

I can't believe we are so blind. You've saved the world so many times.

Even though we curse Your Name. You want to save us all the same.

I don't believe that You'll be back. 'Till all Your Words have come to pass.

But I believe in Love. I believe in goodness. I believe in children. I believe in You.

Yes I believe in Love. I believe in babies. I believe in Mom and Dad. ...AND,

I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!

This is a remake of a song that was a big hit for Don Williams about 40 years ago.

Morality vs. Human Ethics

The Human Problem

The Great Controversy over Good and Evil

"Every problem has it's base in false religion. Every false religion is based on humanism."

Every war in history has been essentially a religious war of one kind or another. This has pretty much become the understanding of most people today, since we have so much historical information available, and of course the world news.

This knowledge, no doubt has contributed considerably to the fast growing humanist movement in the world today. If we could just get away from crazy people and their crazy religions. You've seen the bumper sticker that says, "Please Lord, save me from your followers!" Or, "The worst terrorists are always on a mission for God!"

Like I said, "Every false religion is based on humanism." We are the problem, not God or His Word. People have always been ready to put their faith in the rich and the educated, the kings and the priests and the "doctors of divinity", instead of reading the simple Word for themselves. "Prosperity produces a mass of professors." "Prosperity is the most dangerous thing to spirituality." The poor Natives in spite of all their warmongering had more true religion.

When Israel demanded a King so they could be like the other nations. This was humanism coming in to the church. Samuel told them too that they had rejected God for a man. This is what history should teach us, that all the great intellectuals, the teachers and preachers, kings, and gurus that lead the people astray and instigated war were giving the people what they wanted. Someone to believe in. After everyone takes sides there's hardly anyone left who can think for themselves.

Obviously Humanism leads to heathenism. Human solutions are inadequate. "The problems we now face cannot be solved at the same level that created them." A. Einstein.
