Cats and Dogs

2 Peter 2:18, “For speaking out arrogant words of vanity they entice by fleshly desires, by sensuality, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error, promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.”

When I went to ministry school years ago are first assignment was to prove the doctrine of once saved – always saved. Our second assignment was to prove the doctrine of salvation can be lost. The point was that the bible can be used to “prove” a lot of things. But are we open to the truth, or are we enslaved by our own corruptions?

This will post 1 day before the 2012 Presidential elections in the US, and this is a year of the 47%. There is 47% of the US population that will absolutely without equivocation vote for Barack Obama. What is not said in on the other side of the coin there is another 47% that will absolutely vote for Mitt Romney. My question is that in a country that is eighty plus percentage Christian how can the vote be divided like that?

The reason is we as a nation our slaves to corruption.

The Republican Party panders to groups like big pharma and banks while it opposes other groups like lawyers and unions. The Democrats pander to unions and lawyers and oppose big pharma and banks. While reality is they are all addicted to power. Republicans claim to support small government, and yet even Reagan did not shrink the size of government. Democrats claim to have a monopoly on supporting civil rights for minorities, and yet spend millions supporting the killing of millions of black babies through abortion. They are all liars. And we with our own individual corruptions vote for what will benefit us the most. We vote for lower taxes, or we vote for more government handouts. All the while the super-rich support both sides, or better yet the winner so that the profit of their interest is not regulated out of existence.

Even worse and more offensive are the people who vote just because they are a cat or a dog. Cats vote for cats and dogs vote for dogs and the two shall never agree. Ridiculousness.

Preachers openly support different candidates. Why? Is it the corruption of a few more butts in their seats, which means a few more dollars in the offering? Just today I saw an article that said, "Jesus was a liberal." First of all, Jesus never "was." Jesus is. Secondly Jesus is neither Liberal, or Conservative. He is not in support of Republican or Democrat. He IS the Son of God and is far above political party. Christ is the King of Liberty. He came to set us free.

The government has not given us additional freedom in my lifetime, but they have promised it. Christ on the other hand has delivered the ultimate in freedom. Freedom from sin and death. This year I am voting for 
Christ. Beyond that, I pray He will show me who to vote from on November 6^th. Take a novel approach. Don’t assume who is best for the country from your own perspective. Ask God to show you who is best from His.

This political ad is paid for by no one and supports no one. I’m Jeff Yuna and I approve this message. 

Jesus & The Poor

Matthew 26:11, "For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me."

I have recently encountered some Christians who are participating in the Occupy Houston protests. They have their various reasons, and yet the very basis of their argument seems off base. They seem to be in unison with Joe Scarborough of MSNBC as he argued that Christ message was about helping the poor.

This is simple not true. Jesus' central message was the kingdom of God. And in fact when He told us we would ALWAYS have the poor, it was following the immediate act of extravagance poured out on Himself. This does not mean that Jesus was greedy, or we do not help the poor. But it does mean that if you believe there is a political solution or otherwise to poverty, then you are grossly misled. There is no utopia possible on earth. It is contaminated with sin and will be replaced not restored. There will be a new heaven and new earth according to revelation.

That means America or any other nation does not has it right. There is excessive corruption and cronyism through our political structure. There is a need for Christ to overturn the money changers tables in the halls of our Congress and White House.

In essence the leadership of this nation reflects the moral fiber of the country, and in such the problem is moral and not political. Thus a moral solution is needed, and that begins within, not with marches against the boogie man. The solution is in the heart of the individual.
