NOMADS
There is a pattern of transient behaviour apparent in Pentecostal churches in this country, the which has to be called into question surely. Supposed Pastors migrating between churches from time to time, town to town, city to city, State to State. Men who supposedly state “God has called them to a certain town,” city, etc., men who Pastor churches, then for whatever reasons, pull up their roots and move on to somewhere else.
Men who go about manipulating the love and trust of the sheep, (2 Pet. 2/3), who glean loyalty and devotion from folk, men who harvest the unqualified support AND TRUST of the people, men who oversee the birth of new souls into the Kingdom,……..then make a decision to abdicate, walk away, migrate,………. flee,…….. to somewhere else.
It is incredulous to me how a man who has fathered children, nurtured, fed, tendered, clothed, and looked after for 1, 2, 3, or maybe even 7 years, can,… at a given whim, pull up roots, move on, abandon, forsake,…desert,… the ones he has given birth to. How much more incredulous is it to witness the same desertion of successive flocks by men who present themselves as being “shepherds” of the flock?????? Gal. 4/19.
I have seen this first hand,….been in a congregation where it has happened”: As a matter of fact, I came to realize that this “walkabout”, Nomadic, Gypsy behaviour happens so frequently in the church, that the sheep have come to accept it as “the norm” and have deadened their senses to such because of the frequency with which it occurs.
I was a part of the congregation of “Southside Christian Renewal Centre” Golda Avenue Salisbury in Brisbane when Chris Peterson stood up one Sunday morning behind the pulpit and announced his resignation from that church,……….leaving half the congregation behind in tears; a congregation which he fathered in the spirit!!!
SINCE WHEN IS IT ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR FOR A FATHER OF CHILDREN (1 COR. 4/15-16, GAL. 4/19) TO JUST GET UP AND WALK OUT, LEAVE, ABANDON, FORSAKE, DESERT THEM JUST BECAUSE THE GOING GETS A BIT TOUGH, HE FEELS LIKE HE IS GOING NOWHERE, STAGNATING, TOO MANY PROBLEMS, PRAYERS DON`T SEEM TO BE GETTING ANSWERS, FEELS HE IS GETTING STALE, HE IS STARTING TO GET FED UP, CHURCH IS NOT GROWING, NUMBERS ARE DROPPING OFF, CHURCH IS NO LONGER EXCITING ANYMORE, HE WANTS A PROMOTION, WANTS A CHANGE OF SCENERY,…and this is my favourite,…..
HE`S BURNT OUT????? (no such thing by the way, if you are feeling tired and,….burnt out,.. then that is because you have been warring, building in the flesh and not the Spirit: (Math. 11/28-30).
AND OF COURSE,…..WE HAVE TO MENTION THIS ONE,……. “THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY IN THE OFFERINGS TO SUPPORT THE PASTOR AND HIS FAMILY”:………HUH,…..SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE HIRELING:
OF COURSE, I HOPE YOU ALL REALISE THAT IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING, THAT THE ABOVE MIGRATORY BEHAVIOUR OF THESE “FOULS` OF THE AIR,” LEAVES BEHIND FLOCKS IN TATTERS FEELING ABANDONED, BETRAYED, BRUISED, WOUNDED, DAMAGED WITH SMASHED TRUST,……..SCATTERED,………NO LONGER IN CHURCH;
I`VE SEEN IT HAPPEN GENTS,……..TAKE HEED,………THE DAMAGE DONE BY THIS TRANSIENT BEHAVIOUR IS HORENDOUS: I HAVE SEEN CHURCHES GO FROM 50, 80, 300 IN ATTENDANCE, DIMINISHED DOWN TO ABOUT 6 IN NUMBER BECAUSE OF IT, THE REST NO LONGER IN CHURCH, THEIR TRUST SMASHED, DISALLUSIONED, BEWILDERED, WOUNDED, CONFUSED,………….SCATTERED:……………………………….
IF YOU ARE NOT A SHEPHERD OF THE FLOCK,……………………………..
IF YOU ARE CALLED TO BE A PASTOR,…BUT NOT YET UNCTIONED,…
WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?????????????????
(At this point, I shall make mention, that not all congregations accept on fire leadership and expel them, not wanting to get too close, sell out for Christ.)
THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD:
“BUT HE THAT IS AN HIRELING, AND NOT THE SHEPHERD, WHOSE OWN THE SHEEP ARE NOT, SEETH THE WOLF COMING, AND LEAVETH THE SHEEP, AND FLEETH: AND THE WOLF CATCHETH THEM, AND SCATTERETH THE SHEEP. THE HIRELING FLEETH, BECAUSE HE IS AND HIRELING, AND CARETH NOT FOR THE SHEEP.” JOHN 10/12-13.
“THESE ARE WELLS WITHOUT WATER, CLOUDS THAT ARE CARRIED WITH A TEMPEST: TO WHOM THE MIST OF DARKNESS IS RESERVED FOR EVER.” 2 PET. 2/17.
“WOE UNTO THEM! FOR THEY HAVE GONE IN THE WAY OF CAIN, AND RAN GREEDILY AFTER THE ERROR OF BALAAM FOR REWARD, AND PERISHED IN THE GAINSAYING OF CORE. THESE ARE SPOTS IN YOUR FEASTS OF CHARITY, WHEN THEY FEAST WITH YOU, FEEDING THEMSELVES WITHOUT FEAR: CLOUDS THEY ARE WITHOUT WATER, CARRIED ABOUT OF WINDS; (EPH. 4/14) TREES WHOSE FRUIT WITHERETH, WITHOUT FRUIT TWICE DEAD, PLUCKED UP BY THE ROOTS; RAGING WAVES OF THE SEA, FOAMING OUT THEIR OWN SHAME; WANDERING STARS, TO WHOM IS RESERVED THE BLACKNESS OF DARKNESS FOR EVER.” JUDE 11-13.

Florida’s 60 percent rule may doom amendments on ballot
Florida’s 60 percent rule may doom amendments on ballot
By Howard Troxler, Times Columnist Monday, October 25, 2010 Floridians might have made the biggest decision of the 2010 election already — back in 2006. Four years ago, we decided that future amendments to our state Constitution would need more than 60 percent of the vote to pass. Students of irony, take note: That change passed by only 57.8 percent. But it passed fair and square under the rules …

Immigration and the Department of Homeland Security
In August 2007, the White House released a fact sheet dealing with the Department of Homeland Security and immigration issues. The fact sheet detailed responses and activities by the Department of Homeland Security in the area improving border security and immigration within existing law. The report, titled Improving Border Security and Immigration Within Existing Law, detailed reforms and steps that Homeland Security would take to improve the security of the United States in the areas of Border Security, Interior Enforcement, Worksite Enforcement, the Guest Worker Program, improving immigration security, and Assimilation. Among the various tasks and improvements were a number of things that are important for employers and local emergency response agencies to know.
Quoting from the Fact Sheet under Interior Enforcement:
7. The Administration Is Training Hundreds Of State And Local Law Enforcement Officers To Address Illegal Immigration In Their Communities. The Administration is maintaining the 287(g) program and expanding other measures that help State and local law officials. These measures include a broad array of enforcement tools, such as formal task forces, greater use of the ICE Law Enforcement Support Center, delegated border search and seizure authority under Title 19, and enhanced partnerships to address location-specific threats, such as gangs.
As a part of this directive, the Department of Homeland Security has various grants available to help state and local law enforcement agencies and emergency responders train for terrorist incidents and other emergencies. Those grants can be used to purchase training videos, bring in speakers and implement training and educational programs to build awareness of safety and enforcement issues related to national security.
The grants and training programs are run through the Office for Grants and Training, which takes as its mission “to prepare America for acts of domestic terrorism by developing and implementing a national program to enhance the capacity of state and local agencies to respond to incidents of terrorism”. To that end, the OGT of the Department of Homeland Security offers training, exercises, equipment and exercises tailored to various sectors of the first responders community. It includes a specific category of grants aimed at firefighters, and another to help develop a Citizens Corps to respond to emergencies and other hazardous situations.
On June 25, 2008, Rep. David Price (D-NC), Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, addressed attendees at a conference at the Center for American Progress. In his speech, he laid out the issues facing the Department of Homeland Security, and the next steps that the next administration should take to reinforce its mission and reform the department. Not surprisingly, tackling the complex issue of immigration and security tops his list. Price makes some recommendations that should be of interest to anyone who has concerns about emergency response and emergency preparedness.
Immigration reform should be a major focus of the new administration. The current administration, he said, has focused on enforcement-only, without recognizing or responding to the realities of our labor market. Doing anything else, he explained, will “drain our resources and distract attention” from locating and apprehending criminal and terrorist aliens within our borders.
The August Fact Sheet distributed by the DHS focused almost solely on enforcement against employers who knowingly employ illegal workers, and on enhanced systems to identify illegal immigrants. Immigration policies that recognize the realities of labor market that rely on legal foreign workers would make it far easier to focus needed resources on illegal immigrants that actually pose a threat to our nation’s security.
Emergency Response allocations should be readjusted to encompass a wide variety of disasters rather than automatically allocating the lion’s share to preparing against the possibility of terrorist attack. Price said that while there is a possibility of a terrorist attack in the next five to ten years, first responders in most states are far more likely to face natural disasters like hurricanes.
First responders should be trained to deal with a wide variety of disasters, natural and manmade. Many of the techniques and the infrastructure being developed to deal with a national terrorist-created emergency can and should be used to manage local emergencies resulting from chemical spills, natural disasters and other emergency situations as well as those emergencies that have a national impact.
Maintaining security during transition will have to be a priority, said Price. Attacks in the United States, London and Madrid have all taken place during government transition periods. It’s vital for the next administration to have a plan ready for the integration of the 22 agencies involved in the Department of Homeland Security.
Price is not the only one calling for these reforms and changes. Others, most notably Elaine Karmack, who created and managed the Clinton administration’s National Performance Review also talked about integrating and coordinating the many agencies involved in the Department of Homeland Security. Among other things, she recommends spinning FEMA out of the DHS and letting it stand as an independent agency to address and respond to all emergencies that require the assistance of the federal government.

Would illegal immigrants stay a “cheaper, faster, and stronger work force…” if given amnesty?
Would illegal immigrants stay a “cheaper, faster, and stronger work force…” if given amnesty?
Someone said they were ‘pro-illegals’ because they are a “cheaper, faster, and stronger work force”. But if you check back in history when slaves were not considered citizens they worked their butts off because it was survival(you don’t work, they kill you). They were given freedom and citizenship and now you can’t get half of them to keep a job.
History repeats itself… Wouldn’t the same thing happen to the illegal immigrants?
