Welcome

Welcome everyone to Time 2 Praise Ministries and our church Time 2 Praise Worship Center. This is the first of many blogs that I will be writing for our website and facebook page. It seems to me that everyone has a blog or some form of communicating other than facebook, myspace etc. Everyone wants to be heard or in this case read. I go by the saying that a fool speaks because he wants to be heard a wise man speaks because he has something to say. I am sure that there are a lot of you that would agree with me in saying that there are a lot more fools than wise people in this world. I have read blogs that truly inspire but there are more blogs that are just rediculous. People who know me and are my facebook or myspace friends know that I rarely ever post anything. I dont live my life posting what I am doing every second of the day. There is really no point to it because honestly who really cares if a person is at Target buying the latest bikini or at the store buying a gallon of milk. Than we have bloggers or people who post who are just offensive and can't keep their mouths shut because of whatever reason. These are the people who I call wannabe journalist. I will not be naming any names but I am just saying. The first ammendmant guarantees us the right to say what we want, when we want, and how we want. But we are pretty much guatanteed the right to ignore the message and change the channel or page. So to be honest with you I really don't read any blogs or post unless I truly feel that it is of importance, and the rest well I just click the X and close the page. Just like in radio and television. If there is something that is not of importance to me my tv and radio has a channel up and channel down and I will just switch the channel or station. I don't bother myself by staying on the bloggers page, or radio and tv programming and make a big fuss over it later just because I happened to disagree with the message. I support everyones right as an american to say what they got to say whether I agree with it or not and if I don't agree with it then I just won't continue reading, listening, or watching. I expect the same when it comes to me. If you don't agree with what I am saying I respect the fact that you don't agree with me and just close the page, or if you continue reading than instead of making a big deal and throwing a tantrum feel free to contact me and I will gladly discuss with you on why I said what I said. There are too many ignorant people in this world and not enough intelligent people willing to have an open discussion or atleast an open discussion that will not lead to a big fight or argument. As a pastor I have my beliefs and respect the gift of free will that is God given. I am not going to force myself or beliefs on people like I have seen all over. I will present my beliefs and if you want to know more than I will gladly speak with you. If not than I will respect your decision and will continue to pray for you and for God to bless you. The bible teaches me that I am to set the example and not to force anyone into anything. Just like God doesn't force Himself on us we have to do the same. God is a true gentlemen, If you let Him in he will come in, if you tell Him to get lost He will step back, and so on and so forth. As a man of God that is how I must be. I get offended when people who call themselves Christians try to force their will on others. If God doesn't force His will on us who are we to force our will on others? I am sure that those of you who are reading can agree with me on that point. The bible teaches me that we are to love not condemn. We are to lead by example and bring souls to Christ. We are to love each other and let God almighty make the changes. Since at this point of the blog I have nothing else to say I will just end it with this. Jesus told Peter and other disciples that they were going to be fishers of men. If you have ever gone fishing you know that you present something to the fish. If they like what they see they will go to it and bite. We must do the same we must present ourselves as the lure or bait and to those that bite thats who we catch. If we as Christians are ignorant and treat people badly and not truly represent God in the way that He wants us to represent Him than we will never be able to catch any fish. God Bless You All
