The Never Ending Cry!

Are you old enough to remember the days, when shops closed for the weekend. Pubs closed at 10pm (or even back to the "6 o'clock swill" [nz idiom]). Days when the good night kiwi came up on TV and told us all to go to bed, as TVNZ was closing down for the night.

Days when there was no internet, no cell phones or texting. It took six weeks to get communication back and forth from England. Those days when weekends were family time, sunday drives and picnics at the beach were still a multi-generational affair.

When a good many Christian people went to church on Sunday (they might have had the wrong day but sincerely went to worship their Creator albeit by the wrong name) to ask forgiveness for the weeks sins.

The days when seldom was heard today's never ending cry of "I'm bored"; "it's boring" or "that's boring".

Now churches are empty on Sunday and the shopping malls are full. Seven day a week shopping even on a public holiday.

What's that you say, public holiday? No such thing anymore.

Shopaholics madly rush to the never ending sales. Youngsters happy feeding countless dollars into games arcade machines. Teenagers hanging out, texting furiously all the while they engage in countless mindless activities.

With computers, internet, cellphones, electronic games, 24/7 access to TV, nightclubs open all hours, back to back movies, extreme sports, instant messaging, ipods,etc,etc. They complain they are "bored" and with boredom comes irritability.

Why? What is happening? Does it make sense that with all the extra gadgets and activities they have, that they should be more bored than previous generations?

If it's not fast, loud, aggresive, brightly coloured or so frightening it gives them an adrenal rush, then it seems "it" is boring. Whatever "it" is.

Even very young children are becoming angry, moody and very impatient. Often playing out the characters of "children's" fast moving, loud, aggresive cartoons.

The under 25's seem increasingly unable to focus on anything that takes, time, patience, creativity and perseverance. Could it be that constant searing of the brain with electronic pixels, noise, and aggresive content is the cause of the problem?

Have electronic games, TV programmes and Internet activities, bombarding the brain with innumerable pixels per second; created an inability to focus on anything that takes more than 30seconds to pass through their vision?

With this over stimulation of the cerebral cortex; is it possible that the youth of our nations are suffering a paradoxical atrophy of the mind? Which in turn is causing them an inablity to focus. Rendering them emotionally unstable, in a constant state of anxiety and tension.


Gal 5:22 - 23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustworthiness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no Torah.

Let us all endeavour to reduce the time we spend being bombarded by electronics.

Let us all encourage the independant youth to, reduce the time they spend plugged-in and to avoid the violent games and programmes. Helping them to get back to physical activities that will be healthy and productive.

Further more, let us all decide to never allow the youngest members to develop the habit in the first place.

It is time to redeem the time, we see what it has done to todays teenagers -let it not be so with tomorrow's. Unplug them NOW!

Rest For The Earth.

We hear a lot about 'saving the planet'. Use less water, plant trees,
reduce carbon emmisions, reduce waste etc,etc.

Will these things be enough? Do we let the earth rest? Should we let the earth rest?

If we follow our Creator's Scriptures (The Bible) the handbook for life; we will
find that we should indeed let the earth rest.

Lev 25:3 'Six years you sow your field, and six years you prune
your vineyard, and gather in its fruit,
Lev 25:4 but in the seventh year the land is to have a Sabbath of rest,
a Sabbath to יהוה. Do not sow your field and do not prune your vineyard.

Have we, ever so clever human beings, followed this instruction?
A few individuals here and there may have; but 'no', largely we have
done the opposite.

We have tried to produce bigger crops and gain greater profit.

We have poured upon the earth fertiliser, herbicides, pestacides and countless
other chemicals. All in order that we may keep the earth producing endlessly,
with minimum effort for maximum profit.

As occupiers of the earth we have suffocated the land with endless layers of tarmac
and concrete. Pillaged land and sea for everthing from coal and gold to oil.
All for our convenience.

Consider the countless gallons of blood that have been shed.

Wars, terrorism, murders and assaults. How many gallons of blood has the earth
had to absorb? I don't know, too many?

Is it any wonder then that we have a planet crying out for rest and peace?
That we have a planet whose ecology is in such turmoil and disorder?

There is dispute over which year is Yahuah's Land Sabbath.
Still could we not at least show willing; some believe that Yahuah's land
Sabbath starts at the month of Abib this year.

Let us all decide to make 2009 the year we let the land have her rest.

Is it important to our Creator that the land Sabbath is observed?

It sure is. So is peace on earth. Let's take a look at what will happen
in the end.

Rev 11:18 "And the nations were enraged, and Your wrath has come,
and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the reward to Your
servants the prophets and to the set-apart ones, and to those who
fear Your Name, small and great,
and to destroy those who destroy the earth."

Let's not be among those destroyed for destroying the earth.

Let us all be blessed by allowing the earth to have her Sabbath,
her rest. It is long overdue.

Daily Walking With Yahuah- Terminology and Names

Walking With Yahuah is a new blog I decided to create to talk about
the the daily ups and downs of walking with Yahuah in a world that
does the opposite in many many ways. First I need to explain the Names
and terminology that I will be using so that you all know who is being referred to.

For those who don't know Yahuah is the Name of our creator that
was replaced by "the Lord" more than 6000 times in the King James Bible.
Yahuah will be used throughout my posts.

The Name of the son commonly but erroneously called Jesus Christ is
Yahushua Ha Mashiyach (Yahushua the Annointed) this Name will also
be used throughout my posts.

This is the only time you will see the word God I will use the Hebrew
term Elohiym or El as the other word is derived from the name of someone else.
The Same applies to Lord I will use, Adonai, Sovereign or Master.

Well that just about covers the essentials. Next post soon.
