Walmart Slashing Food Prices

Walmart Slashing Food Prices

According to Fox News' Bulls and Bears, Walmart will be slashing food prices by 1 billion dollars this year. Those who believe that inflation has hit the US economy believe this is a smart business move by Walmart to bring in more volume to their stores.

With gas prices heading towards the $4 gallon mark, Walmart's decision to cut food prices is good news for the American consumer.

While there are some who complain that Walmart hurts small businesses, in a tough economy, Walmart once again proves to a friend to the American consumer.

Don't Critizize, Pray for Others

My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers

This devotion convicted me of a wrong attitude that I have sometimes regarding faults in other people. Though I do not always vocalize, sometimes I have a harsh, critical attitude. In today's devotion by Oswald Chambers, he speaks of the importance of not criticizing but interceding for others when you notice their sins (see 1 John 5:16 ).

As we go through this life, we should pray for one another, making intercession to God, praying that He would help all of us in our struggles. I realized a long time ago that I am very far from perfect and have my own struggles with sin and it is just by God's grace that I am able to say I am a Christian. However, as I seek God's help for myself, I should also be seeking God to help others instead of having a critical spirit towards them. I need to adopt the mind of Christ towards others, and love others with the love of God that is in my heart through the Holy Spirit.

The Bible says to judge not less we be judged. While it is important that we do not pass judgement on others, it does not mean that we are to  totally ignore sin in others. If I were about to step in front of a car speeding down the highway, would you not do your best to stop me, saving me from a certain death. How much more should we try to help others who are engaging in sin, which is more dangerous than any natural perils we face. Why not begin helping others by interceding to God for them? Instead of gossiping about them, or criticizing them, why not pray for them, not out of a sense of moral superiority, but in  a spirit of humility, realizing our own wretchedness.

The moral of this post is:  When you see others faults, don't criticize ( a practice that accomplishes nothing) but pray for them. Also realize that none of us are perfect and that the only good we can lay claim to is God's amazing grace. May we pray for one another and help each other make it home.

Be sure to read todays devotion in My Utmost for His Highest.

Faithful to What ?

What are we faithful to in our lives? The thing that captures our faithfulness will determine the course of our life. Whether it be commitment to wealth, health, family, pursuit of pleasure, appearance, or any other aspect of our existence. While some things in life do indeed warrant our faithfulness, everything that makes up the natural life will one day be dissolved. On that great day the only thing that will matter will be our relationship to Christ and all that remains will be the things we accomplished that were worthy of Him. Furthermore, I believe the things that are worthy Of Christ are those things we do out of faithfulness to Him, especially those things we are prompted to do by His Spirit and accomplish through the power of His amazing grace.

What are we faithful to? May we be wise and choose to be wise to the only wise God, Jesus Christ.

Daily Manna from the Net for Tuesday, March 27, 2012

 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!  Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.  Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.- Philippians 4:4-9 NIV

Hunger Games Review

The family and I ventured out to watch the highly acclaimed "Hunger Games". After all the hype, the promise of a somewhat interesting plot, and knowing that my 11 year old daughter wanted to see the flick, I was compelled to take my family to see the dark, futuristic movie. For the sake of those who have yet to see the movie I will not divulge the plot but will give my honest opinion on the movie. The storyline was solid, captivating not overly predictable with some interesting plot twists. For the storyline, I give the "Hunger Games" an A+.

The acting in the "Hunger Games" was up to industry standards and the actors and actresses gave a steller performance. For acting I give the "Hunger Games" a A+.

If I had to give any negative feedback on the "Hunger Games" it would be on chracter development. The character development was not bad but I would have liked it a slight bit deeper. On character development I give the "Hunger Games" an A-.

Overall I think that the "Hunger Games" is an excellent movie that kept my interest throughout. Hunger Games is also a familiy friendly movie with some violence but little gore and no sex, nudity or profanity ( I think I may have heard one curse word, I am not sure).
