Tuesday: Preamble, Constitution, Bible 2

Then God said, "Let us" make man in our image in our likeness and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a congress of the United States.

Good Morning, my dear brothers and sisters, it is Schools day on the line, yes, the day we pray for our schools and all that enter them, all that have anything to do with them. Also today please pray for Pastor Charles. Pastor lives at the Bridges, he had a stroke, he is showing signs of healing. He needs prayer to get up out of the wheelchair, get his speech working better, and to be able to work for our Lord again. Also pray for Tom Keel in the death of his wife.

Preamble, Constitution, Bible 2: Yesterday I talked about the Preamble and compared it with Genesis 1: 1/25. I gave you the homework assignment of reading that on your own. Today I want to start lining up some of the Constitution of the United States with parts of The Bible.

The Constitution: Article 1: All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. Article one then goes on to tell all about how the Senate and the House of Representatives should be elected, their age requirements, and duties etc. Article one is very long so let me say if you have a copy of the Constitution, please take time to read it.

The Bible: Then God said, "Let us" make man in our image in our likeness and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." Then God said, "I give you every seed bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground everything that has the breath of life in it. I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that He had made and it was very good and there was evening and there was morning the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it Holy, because on it He rested from all the work of creating that He had done. (Genesis 1: 26 through Genesis 2: 3 NIV)

Now I am going to compare Article One of the Constitution with these Scriptures from my Bible.
These are my opinions, of course, and you might differ from me on these. I would love to hear your opinions. Are you ready for this? Article one created a Congress, and in the Bible God created man ... What do these have in common?

BOTH FAILED!! Wow, that took all of two words!
Here are a few more views ...

Congress may be recalled, by a recall vote, or by not reelecting a member. Man WILL BE RECALLED by his maker ... That will happen.

Congress was established to work for man. Man was made to work for God. Congress was elected to help run the country. God made man and trusted him to take care of the country. I could go on and on, but I think you are getting the picture.

Now as we move on this week with the message I call: Preamble, Constitution, Bible, let me tell you this ... I am proud to be an American and also a Born Again Christian. More tomorrow.

Dear Father in Heaven, the real bottom line is we would not have a country, we would not be the United States, if You would not have created it in the first place. Man would not be trying to run the country if You did not make man. Man failed in the Garden and are failing daily in the United States. Help us, oh Lord, help us, Lord. Father in Heaven, we need You in our schools, for without You the kids are not learning as they should. They learn trash, Lord, and we need them to learn good things. Lord, help us, help us, help our kids, be in our schools. Lord, please be with Tom Keel and help him as he suffers the loss of his wife. Lord, please, please heal Pastor Charles. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.

Now go forth sharing your blessings, sharing the love of Jesus, and helping others ... Love ya, dan.
