22-YEAR-OLD WINS AWARD FOR FILM ON SAVING BABIES Stunning speech: 'I promise in the fear of God, I will steward this investment'


Stunning speech: 'I promise in the fear of God, I will steward this investment'

Ivie accepted the award, along with a check for $101,000 by demonstrating humility.
“I deified movies for 21 years of my life, and I made them my god, and it failed me,” he said. “I’m done with that story. I’m done with that idol. And I promise in the fear of God that I will steward this investment, because I would rather tell the plainest truth with $100,000 than the most sophisticated technological lie with 10 million dollars or 100 hundred million dollars.”

Moi? 4 president, MOI ?!!!



..Moi? 4 president, MOI ?!!!.. 

It's over now until 2016. When I think about this FB group, "David B Severy for President 2016," (https://www.facebook.com/groups/108183335995364/) 
the more I want to be president. Not because I'm qualified by my past but because I understand my future. There has not been, to my knowledge, a christian president unaffiliated with a christian "denomination" and unaffiliated with a political party. I'm quite willing to be the first. My platform will be, as it is today, THIS: 

1)Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
2) Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 
3) Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 
4) For in Christ, neither our most conscientious religion nor disregard of religion amounts to anything. What matters is something far more interior: faith expressed in love.

I have rarely met anyone who agrees 100% with everything I say or write. One wit said of himself that by the time he got finished what he was speaking he didn't agree with himself anymore! Thankfully we do grow and with God as our guide the truth opens to us and we are made mature. 

What can be discouraging to any honest man or woman is the corruption in government, in Wash. D.C. and in most every state capitol. I believe that being a christian can keep one from corruption. Why are some in Washington who profess Christ so corrupt? I'm persuaded that it is because we have sent them there not for the purpose of establishing fair government, we send them there to compete for government business, government contracts, government jobs, and government pork. The reason this competition is possible is largely because the federal government has usurped many rights and functions that the constitution grants to the individual states. 

The Federal Government has placed tax burdens on the states which require the states send their congressmen to Washington D.C. to recoup the tax revenues usurped from their people! Fighting over money is 99.99% always a painful self defeating battle! 


America could function quite well without dozens of agencies, several cabinet posts and a ton of federal regulation. It is simple greed at the federal level that has legislatively usurped states rights and citizens tax dollars, centralizing power in ways that cripple freedom. It has been said that the entire world could be fed, that no one would be hungry if only the wars which are being fought would cease. The war of words, of truth and the lie for votes, for the power of elected office in America in similar fashion impedes the just, and unbiased administration of the federal government.

Why do we suffer corruption and the inequities that result? I think we need to look far ahead to a day when we depart from this life. We need to ask ourselves: is the stress of "dog eat dog" competition for "bones" that cannot keep me from the grave worth becoming a callous, stingy man or woman? What am I trying to prove by being richer than thou? Greed IS a problem in America. 

I believe everyone ought to be free to become as rich as they please, but not at the expense of other people. Criminal greed does accomplish great storehouses of ill gotten gain. These storehouses them become the targets of jealous poor who gather together against the criminal rich to "redistribute" wealth. The fact is that there is an abundance for everyone where crime and greed are shunned. What is necessary for that to happen? That I consider your welfare:

(1) equally important or 

(2) more important that yours. 

It is the christian principle of life. 

(1) Do unto others as you would have them do unto you which makes your well being equal to mine. 

(2) And No greater love has anyone for his/her friend than to lay down their life for them. This says your well being is more important to me than my own. 

It is not widely known but some say that if it were not for war, the world could be fed, starving peoples could be fed, famine could be overcome and the world could support even a greater population than it's present 7 billion+ !!! Overpopulation is not the problem. The problem is human greed which sustains inequities among peoples and nations!

God gives each of us this life as a test. Will we learn that God IS Love? Will we learn that Love is not selfish, but that Love gives and gives and gives and gives... ?

Jesus didn't want anyone to sin against Him, and He didn't sin against anyone! He also counted our lives more important then the defense of His own. And in the mystery of Divine life He was crucified! 

Maybe the knowledge and experience a president needs is not that complicated?

Acts 20:35
King James Version (KJV)
35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
