It's all about us, and not about them!!!

People, it is all about people. Not my people, not your people, but people together in unity. Just because I am black doesn't mean that I'm going to look favorably on you because you're black. Just because you're white doesn't mean you're going to get favorable treatment from me. And don't you dare think that I'm looking for something from you because of your race. Neither the color of your skin, nor does the side of town you grew up in matter to me. Simply because you are a human being, means that you're my brother. We came from the same Supreme Being. Even if you're from China and we have zero resemblance, in my eyes you are my sister.

The strength of any kingdom is the prosperity of its people.


So even though I think respect of animals are important, fighting for their rights isn't going to make a difference in the world. Fighting for the rights of people is what will make a change. If a snake becomes endangered and is removed from existence, life will go on. Dinosaurs became extinct and we are still living today. Nature always finds a way to reorganize itself. On the other hand, the kingdom of man will fall if we allow our fellow men and women to fall into despair while those who have the power, stand and do nothing. The kingdom of men will fall if we allow the problem of human trafficking to continue. Legalizing the use of recreational drugs simply because everyone does it doesn't build up your fellow man, but it tears them down. And by the way, not everyone does it. How can I mention trafficking without hitting the heart of the matter. The heart of the matter is lust. Yes I know, there is an entire industry (Adult Entertainment) built on lust. But to tell you the truth, not enough people speak up against this. While there are websites devoted to saving chickens, those same people use women to entice men. Those same men run off to other countries to buy sex with young men. The Adult Entertainment Industry has seduced the imagination of men and women and has motivated them to do evil things to fulfill the evil desires awaken by the pornography they watched. A man didn't just wake up this morning and decide to run off to a third world country, find a young girl, and sex her within inches of her life. Many even prey on babies. Raping them until they die.

Lust has no conscience, no moral code to follow, no love, just pure evil intent.

If this continues, it will be the demise of the kingdom of man. To tell you the truth, I don't see how this problem can stop unless we stop living for ourselves and live for God. The bottom line is, the heart of man is evil. And the only cure for a evil heart is a gracious and loving God found in Jesus Christ. Among the many greats of history, only the one Jesus Christ has truly highlighted and addressed the problem. And his solution is this, love your enemies. Do good to them who disdainfully use you. Love your neighbor as yourself. He is the only one who was willing to forgive the harlot, heal the blind, and bind up the broken heart. Jesus was all about us. He was all about building up his people, the entire human race, no matter what their status was. He drew even the most hot tempered, and thieving men to be his disciples. He did not discriminate in anyway. And though he only affected those in his direct area, he told his disciples to start in their home towns, then spread this good news all around. This good news is for the world. Freedom has come. Power has come. Honor has come.
