Human Trafficking & Slavery
Don't Just Happen
(Jesus said in Mark 7:21-23)

Would a "good" God design
"survival of the fittest"
as His WAY?
(Isaiah 65:25)

Rights - Any discussion about human rights (slavery, oppression) or animal rights (cruelty, abuse) must first address our Creator's rights. He has the right to command how we treat both His people and His animals.

Responsibilities - Jesus said the root cause of suffering in this world is a distorted view of and/or the rejection of the true WAY of our Creator. (John 8:1-59)

Mistakes - Man's self-serving, misguided, mischaracterizations of God have historically led to personal and cultural conflict, corruption, and collapse.

Hope - Discovering the WHO?, the WHY?, and the "WAY"? of origins is the foundation for true transformation.

Change - Truly lasting change for individuals and cultures must begin at the cornerstone - the Creator of creation.

"Then I looked again
at all the acts of oppression
which were being done
under the sun.
And behold I saw the tears
of the oppressed
and that they had no one
to comfort them;
and on the side
of their oppressors was power,
but they had no one
to comfort them."

Ecclesiastes 4:1

ANTI-SHEPHERD Examples:
- Why do sheeple follow/worship such idols?

* Note: I am too often a terrible example of similar hypocrisy :-(

Hollywood Hypocrisy:

1. Actor Charlize Theron's Africa Outreach Project

". . . . Gaming tables were laid out at the party at Mosimann's private dining club and the stars battled it out to win an 18-carat gold and white diamond-encrusted charm bracelet. Funds raised tonight will go to actor Charlize Theron's Africa Outreach Project. The stated aim of the charity is to create a safer, healthier and better life for impoverished children and their families in South Africa, especially those suffering from HIV and Aids. . . . "

(Is this a true charity for the "needs" of others, when these same celebrities literally spend millions of dollars on their own "wants" every year? Why do so many people respect and honor such idols of our modern society?)

The GOOD SHEPHERD SAID: "But when you give a feast [party], invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just." Luke 14:13-14

More Hollywood examples of hypocrisy:
* "But how do they justify the fleet of custimised planes, the luxury homes and the posse of servants?"
* Mercedes Marxists and Hollywood Hypocrites

Predatory Political Power-Players:

1. Newsweek - POWER AND HYPOCRISY
". . . . [Politicians] are worse than the rest of us. There really is something about power that stokes hypocrisy, which is the practice of engaging in behavior that you condemn in others. According to new research in the current issue of the journal Psychological Science, there is a direct causal connection between power and hypocrisy—or between power and what the scientists unflinchingly call “sanctimony combined with lechery and gluttony. . . . . "

(ERROR: Man's pseudo-"research" may claim a "causal connection between power and hypocrisy", but according to the GOOD SHEPHERD the cause of hypocrisy is not power, but the heart - no excuses.)

The GOOD SHEPHERD SAID: "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, . . . " Mark 7:21

The Rich & "Infamous":

1. "Give to the Rich to Help the Poor? Idea Worthy of Bono"
"On Tuesday night, 100 billionaires will gather at London's sumptuous Dorchester hotel, to watch Mr Ted Turner in conversation with Ms Carol Vorderman. Ms Joss Stone will sing, and some model or other will be in attendance. Can you guess the aim of this evening, which I trust you would cross continents to avoid in the infinitely unlikely event that you had been invited? No? Then allow me to assist. The aim is to make the government give tax breaks to the super-rich, in order to tempt them to give the same percentage of income to charity as the poorest 20% of people in this country already do. . . .
. . . And so to our old friend Bono, who this week announced he is displeased at being called a hypocrite for moving his tax affairs to the Netherlands, all the while lobbying the Irish government to increase its aid budget. . . . He's not the brightest, is he? At least he's only parlayed himself into the role of Africa's messiah."

Urgent Call to Prayer for Afghan Christians in Danger

"Devastating reports have been released from various news agencies that a member of the Afghan government has called for the public execution of Christian converts from Islam. This is in response to a video broadcast by the Afghan television network Noorin TV, which showed footage of Christian men being baptized and praying. The deputy secretary of the Afghani parliament said, "Those Afghans that appeared in [the footage] should be executed in public.” The video clip, along with inflammatory statements against the Christian faith, has repeatedly been broadcast on different television stations."

"According to Afghan law, proselytizing is illegal and conversion from Islam is punishable by death. Many Afghan followers of Jesus have been frightened by these events and have gone into hiding while others have fled. Afghan Christians want the world to know about their situation, that in a country, where they have few rights and no voice, they want their voice to be heard." http://members.opendoorsusa.org/site/MessageViewer?em_id=47361.0&dlv_id=0

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics
is that you end up being governed by your inferiors."
Plato (so, write your representatives & vote!)

Good News

As the world changes with increasing global conflict, confusion, and desperate needs, we each must stay informed, then reflect and refocus our efforts. The problem for most of us, especially me, is that our disabilities tend to overshadow our abilities. But there is hope for all of us - there is Good News:

"Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men,
and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
. . . . God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise,
. . . . so that no man may boast before God.
But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus,
who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness
and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written,
"LET HIM WHO BOASTS - BOAST IN THE LORD."
1 Corinthians 1:26-31
