The Backroads Buzzard's Manifesto

Man is fallen: Jimmy Buffet pokes light hearted fun at it in his books and songs the simple fact of the matter is man is in need of a savior which was provided through Christ Jesus who is defined very early on in the first chapter in the Gospel of John. 

Christ is who he says he is: Jesus Christ when honestly viewed presents three choices Liar Lunatic Lord.  He was executed on Good Friday as a lamb he willingly went to the slaughter on the third day he rose.  He was the ultimate sacrificial lamb he paid a debt he did not owe for those who call him Lord for those who call him Lord have a debt they can not pay.  Those who bow down to him in their lives can have the privilege of experiencing his death and the end of the bondage to sin and awesome power of his resurrection.  Praying for those who murdered people you care about is a highly unnatural act but is fully possible through the power of the resurrection. 

Sanctification Is One Wild Trip: The process which fallen man is changed into the image of the one without sin is a trip not without moments of humor at times extreme humor.  It is a journey where pain is often used by the one without sin the way a blacksmith uses heat.  We are often then dragged kicking and screaming against our wills like two year olds into our greatest blessings.  God's biggest blessings often appear as great curse this due to the fact we do not see things his way.

Christian Envoirmentalism Is No Sin:Probe Ministry's Take As covered in the novel "The Earth is not my mother but my daddy is letting me borrow it." Organic gardening whenever possible is wise stewardship two ways it should provide a low cost alternative to providing one with food instead of buying at a grocery store.  The vegetables while being cheaper providing more money to give to those who do not.  It if done by a large number of Christians who can will reduce degradation caused by less sound practices.  It also gives the one gardening a greater understanding of how God works through his creation and a greater appreciation of the creator and God's wisdom. 

The Lessons of the Cafe Have to Carried Boldly A Great Distance From the Cafe: The Beauty of the Backroads and Small towns in the end have to be carried by deed and attitude to where they are needed the most.  Getting out of the way of faster drivers allowing someone to enter your lane because they did not want to turn off the highway a sincere thank you for services given or money given a willingness to help our fellow members of humanity and a genuine concern for our fellow men belong most where they are least encountered. 

Think Where you spend your Money: There are certain businesses that have a face to them that are not machines that are locally owned and sell products made in the USA.  Keep in mind what you buy where it was made and how it is made with what concerns it is made.  How you spend your money impacts your world whenever possible spend your money in such away to make your world a better place. When I can I prefer Burgers from the Texas Hamburger Company!  I will buy stuff from H-E-B including my coffee.
