Rich people get handed everything. Poor people get poorer. The rich get richer. The poor get poorer. The rich steal from the poor and prevail. The poor get worse. If one is not rich or comes from a wealthy family, they are the ones surviving day to day on scraps of bread crumbs. They are the ones that no one reaches out to nor understands and hates to understand. No one helps them out no one cares for them, unless they worship the one who possibly helps them out. Recently I had a friend of someone who is close to me who was in need. I called a local filthy rich church and that filthy rich church could not help them out at all. That filthy rich church just stood back while when one of their familiar ones asks for help that filthy rich church runs along side them and helps them immediately. I myself have asked for help from the filthy rich church and they have literally said this: "Oh we will be sure to rally along side you and help you." They said that to someone else sitting close to me and completely ignored me when I brought to them my need. Because that person they liked.
What have they become. The mountain of their wealth is so high that its shadow blinds them to what they have. Its no wonder they cannot reach the lost and can only reach their bellies with monkey bread and doughnuts and coffee. Food and drink will do nothing for God and His kingdom. Why do they embrace stupidity? Why? It is because they just want enough of God and that much of God is so little. They just want enough to talk about it and make something out of nothing. They want to just talk, talk, talk. I am tired of it so much. But I will endure, I will succeed, even if these clowns fail me. All around they are scattered. To each body and assembly, to confuse with lofty words and proud talk, the elect of God. They are stumbling blocks set up strategically by the enemy. False prophets they are all. Proud talk, lofty spoken words with no spirit possessing them or their words. Nothing but stolen doctrines and philosophies they have. No originality. Nothing in them but words without power.

About modern worship songs(venting: aka the truth)
Most modern supposed worship songs that are written now a days are written out of the fact that we just don’t feel good even though we have nothing wrong with us. Really they are written out of us getting really emotional. Really we just want to whine about frail triviality. They are written out of wrote and not a pure heart to God. Borrowed, and stolen words from others sacrifices composed and neatly arranged so that they don’t sound like they were stolen when in fact they actually were.
The words sound all right but for some reason behind them there is no real sacrifice, no real suffering, just our pathetic frail easily offended hearts and their emotions clouding us forever until we see and put into practice the true mind of Christ. Not some self help crap. Most sermons today spoken in pulpits come from no sacrifice and are glorified self help speeches that carry no conviction, no reverence, entertain the masses instead of convicting the masses. When will it become like the Bible says “I will turn their laughter to sorrow, their joy to mourning” so that they see thee real state of their lives, cold, blind and naked retches that need Jesus and need to repent. But no no no, lets just keep telling them that they are all right while they continue unchecked to disrespect those things which are holy and Godly, be completely irreverent and the like. Lets just keep numbing their minds so that they see no reason to repent and that everyone else is wrong and that they have to repent and change. No wonder the world is going to hell in a hand basket. People refuse to change and obey God.
A true real and thriving revival comes from repentance and purity of heart, not idolatry.

Interesting Guitar tuning
One very interesting Guitar tuning is to tune the last two strings to the E note, then the two strings above the last two strings to the A note, and then to take off the top two strings. Using a slide method of playing with out a slide but instead using you two fingers to play all types of weird scales on the neck of the Guitar sounds really unique. Basically place one finger on one of the E strings and the other finger on one of the A notes and play them both on top of one another and you get not only a really unique sounding Guitar, but also you get a really unique sounding music.
I discovered this a while back but was using a different two set of notes that four of the strings were tuned to, plus I really wore out some of the strings on my Guitar and by accident came across it.
Well knowing that knowledge everyone who may play Guitar, enjoy!

The house of the dead
The house of the dead, dead things, living inside. Always there, never moving, never speeding, never slowing down. Everything dead. No people, no living things, all dead. No dreams, no past, no future. Everything dead, waiting for the end of all things. Waiting for the end of days, when all shall burn away into nothingness. When one returns to the house of the dead one realizes ones life without meaning, without purpose, without anyone or anything in it. A life of existence, waxing away until the very end.
One when looking and living in the house of the dead either dies inside or hopes for better things, better life, a life of not existing but living. A life of life. To live, and to grow. Anti-existence, living with someone who can share with you, who can suffer with you. Who can live for you and you live for them. Anyone can die for someone, few can live for someone.
The house of the dead is there. It is and will forever in ones life be there, as long as this world exists. But it is not there to consume ones life. It is there to convict ones life, to inspire ones life, for one to look upon and see what they have in front of them and within them. The house of the dead exists forever in our lives to show us that we are alive. The house of the dead convict us and show us what we have, all of our riches. The dead give us the meaning to live.

Why I love grunge music
Heavily distorted electric Guitars, dissonant harmonies. Grunge musicians were noted for their unkempt appearances and rejection of theatrics, complex instrumentation. Incorporates themes such as social alienation, apathy, confinement, and a desire for freedom. Basically disenchanted with the crap that has become society. Also grunge bands were uncomfortable with popularity.
"Grunge concerts were known for being straightforward, high-energy performances. Grunge bands rejected the complex and high budget presentations of many musical genres, including the use of complex light arrays, pyrotechnics, and other visual effects unrelated to playing the music." You see they are there to rock and for music not to draw attention to themselves or their hair or fancy lights. This is what I believe music should be about. When you make the music about itself, it benefits others and gives them an experience that they will remember forever.
One amazing concert or musical gathering can change the world. Take Woodstock for example. Grunge musicians come to play music and they come as they are which is what I believe you should do when playing music. When you go to a rock concert or go to practice an instrument, does the teacher say to you or does your music book say, "Did you brush your teeth, wash your hair, trim your nails? NO it does not.

What are children?
So what are children really? What were they created for and what are they made from? Children are made from a part of the mother and the husband. Or a man and a woman. But why was it when a child died in the olden days, that their was much lamenting. That reason is that the child symbolized and was the future of both of the parents or the man and the woman. It was a piece of him and a piece of her living on past the original parents and carrying on the family for a new generation so that really the family was never gone to begin with. Now a days in this sick and stupid culture, children are a hindrance and a burden. Not loved but dismissed these children and fatherless and motherless bastards go through life with no proper and right upbringing and no real home while the parents are away screwing and being screwed by whoever they want. It is such a sad tragedy. Just look at Columbine. If their parents really loved or were actually good parents who could see a lacking in these children's lives, then perhaps the way our security in our nation;'s schools are would not be so and others would never had been inspired to take up a gun. Just think about it.
So as we come down to it at the end of the day and everything and every opinion of ours that we made up in the first place to excuse our lacking in good parenting comes to a close what are we left with about what children truly are? Well here goes. Children are what the parent make them. They are a canvas for the parent to paint. Even if there is a bad parent the child will pick up on that. I was one myself you know. So in the long run and when we finally are brought back to our senses, we are left with this one truth: Parent right, love your children, trat them with and as your number one priority. Teach them despite the fact that maybe your parents were shitty to the core, you have a chance to not be like them and to show them up by raising a GOOD child. So go out and do it parents and stop using the fact htat you haev a bunch of children to say that you are a good parent. True parenting is shown through your children and if you have them under control.

Someones proposals concerning music
I heard, well actually i read about someone who proposed this statement: "Music and singing do not produce in the heart that which is not in it."
Actually I bet that person isn't a musician. Actually on the contrary, music makes the heart alive and restores the heart.
Here is another proposal by someone that I found interesting: "Those who are affected by music can be divided into two classes: Those who hear the spiritual meaning and those who hear the material sound."
I find that interesting for I hear both. The spiritual and the material. I wish that person would have written about the acceptions.

Three part being
The Spirit is the life.
The soul is the choice.
The body is the experience.
It is important that we understand this truth, so that we dont just become head knowledge but a REAL living Christian. So that we dont just become hot air and fancy words. So that we become the men of God. Not just talk about the men of God.

Be encouraged
When we look at the heroes of the faith, we must accept that that the heroes of the faith are right around us not just in some distant past or in a book. As the Bible says, "You are our letters of recommendation to others." Basically saying that not only are the Apostles the heroes of the faith, but every man and woman of God is a hero of the faith…
So, be encouraged. Be uplifted and stop dwelling in defeat, which is the song of the enemy over your life. Dwell in the victory of the lamb, Jesus, which is your victory. You have died the same death He died, rose with Him, and became victorious as He was victorious for the same One who conquered death and made a public spectacle of all the demonic principalities in Heaven lives in you, the believer.
"I dwell in the victory of the Lamb of God.
I dwell in the Spirit, the new Wine, my God.
I praise His name with undefield tongues.
I lift up my eyes to the One who is high."

Thinking of home
What has happened to praise? Where is it? Even in back sliden Churches that I used to go to when I was trying to find a place to settle down. Even though I still think that I am a vagabond even to this day and still haven't found me a home Church, just a church that is close to go to a lot. But yet again there is a great dissonant, a harmony that does not go right. All right words are being sung, but there seems to be no true substance to them. The artists songs being sung are supposed great worship song writers, but I sense no real experience to their songs. Just borrowed words, as if all they do is read the Bible over and over again and just slap a bunch of scriptures into a song rather then it be from the depths of their souls and hearts and what God has placed in their hearts. Its funny because most modern day supposed worship albums have no war songs. They have no rouse and no morale booster in them. All they seem to be doing is just singing words and to no victorious God either. They are just singing the words because they are found in the Bible.
The reason for me writing this blog is just because I am homesick I guess. My home is in praise, my home, my sanctuary is in worship and praise that ascends frailty and defeat. That dwells in the throne room with my God, that when we give back to God even if we don't receive from God we somehow become better people and our lives that very second change. Where are the songs, "Be praised, You who lived Your life sinless. Gave Yourself to forgiveness, You will come again." Or "Holy, holy, holy, holy, is the Lord god almighty. Who was and is and is to come." "You have been more faithful, then the morning sun. You have been more faithful, then knowing night will come. You have been more faithful, then the changing of seasons." "Great is the Lord King Jesus. See how His majesty is lifted high. Great is the One who saves us. Who is like our God, Lord I lift You up." "We exalt Your name. High and mighty one of Israel. We exalt Your name. Lead us on to war in the power of Your name. We exalt Your name. The name above all names. Our victorious King. We exalt Your name." Notice the similarity of those songs. Always pointing back to Him. Even Newsboys have great songs of praise, and you'd think that these long years that they would be all tired out: Strong Tower. High and glorious. Strong Tower, mighty in love. Our refuge, our defender. Strong Tower, Lord of all." "I love Your ways. Your clear, Your perfect ways. I love Your ways, so beautiful to me. Lovely always, and faithful to restore. I love Your ways." "Holy, holy is our God almighty. Holy, holy is His name alone. Holy, holy is our God almighty. Holy, holy is His name alone. It is You we adore. It is You, only You." "Let Your glory be known. You have redeemed us, and called Your own. Let Your glory be know. Lt the power of the Cross, be revealed in us, oh Lord. Let You glory be known."But instead of praise to God we get songs that only talk and talk and talk about God but don't reach out and upward to God and don't really take the spotlight off of us. Instead of great power house praise ballad songs that reach into the Heavens, take us out of our prisons and uplift us we get, well I don't know but the sound of worship and Christian music that I hear now is not about a risen Christ and not about victorious saints. IT is about defeated, weak, frail, pathetic, stupid, sinners, who cannot make it through a day without sinning. Great work that has done. Why do you think that the Church has become so worldly and weak. No fathers or warriors have stepped up and have cut off the heads of those demonic principalities. They have intentionally given up and have in turn let their own heads be cut off.
I guess I am just homesick. I have had a taste of real life changing worship and praise gathering with believers that have literally changed my life. WHERE ARE THOSE NOW! What has happened to Christian music and worship music sung in Churches. What has happened and where has praise gone to? We can sing so much about your qualities. Why cant we sing to You. We can talk about You so much, why can we not talk to You? What has happened to everyone? Maybe this is a side effect if the great falling away. That there really weren't as many as we thought there were who were keeping their garments clean and not soiled for You. ME personally I believe that the remnants are scattered across the world just like in the days of Elijah the remnants have been scattered. Maybe they have been scattered because You knew that keeping them together in would corrupt them or cause them to fall. Nothing happens by change in the will of god for if there were such a thing as chance there would be no God and nothing would work.
"Oh God reach out and hear our words.
We sing them now, may our hearts be heard.
Oh draw us into Your sweet embrace.
We lift our lives in worship to You.
We cry out. We cry out in worship to You.
Our lips quiver to speak Your name."
