The love of money is the root of all evil.
When you look at history it should be obvious that the rich and powerful have destroyed people and the creation from the dawn of time.
People who believe in the divine right of kings. People who have a desire to control others. People who cannot live within their own needs, and means.
They rule the world.
They built empires across the globe and destroyed cultures who could not defend themselves. They stole land and raped it for profit. They killed the creatures of the earth to get rich and oppress slaves and employees today.
Global trade corporations who have existed in the shadows of the past, while ruling everything around us.
If they wanted to save the world, they could in a month. All they need to do is make simple changes.
But, it might disrupt their money flow. It might disrupt their power.
Governments are ruled by them. Churches are ruled by them.
They have used the military to secure their riches. They have built prisons to lock up those who disobey. They police those who pay taxes to keep the charade going.
Wheres your freedom now that the Earth is subdued?
Is it freedom when we ask permission?
Bulldozing forests to feed the human pigs.
Keeping people in poverty to create cheap labor.
Allowing just enough to keep the masses silent, while living like kings themselves.
Meanwhile the planet dies. Our animal friends suffer and die.
For our greed, not our need.
We have become addicted to the poisons they spew, the lies they tell and the scraps they give. We help them destroy the world, because they control everything.
Our spirit aches for change.
And those evil masters will bring a sick version of it to appease us.
Our spirit aches for the creation and the nature friends we see around us.
And those rich corporate rulers will use it to control us even more.
Have they ever set you free?
Why do you think they will today?
Be the change you hope to see.
Set your spirit free to love and stop your own greed.

God Will Come Running
When we turn to Him Jesus tells us a story about a young man who left home and went to make a name for himself. (Luke 15:11-32) It could be a kid going to college with his parents credit card. Or a kid chasing a dream with his fathers support and blessing. We know this…
How Do We Pray?
It’s simpler than we think Prayer, is a conversation with God. For me, I just talk to the Lord. Jesus says that God is our father. The Apostles tell us that God is our father as well, if we know Him. When we believe Him, He calls us friend. Abraham believed what God told him,…

We Are Being Sanctified “Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s…
