I hate it that a peice of rock is attributed meaning and true art is hidden in the basement of our museums.

All cultures should point to ghe good and great in their culture. And unashamedly point at the beauty from others.

But (and this is no longer acceptable) requires a level of judgment and aesthetic sense.

We should raise the eyes of the young to the heavens, take them to The Messiah and a great Cathedral to hear the finest church music, show them rooms full of paintings and give them the best novels and read them the best poetry. The young have their own sub-culture, always have, always will and so they should but they need to have better ones presented to them as well.

Let us ignore the bereau of ugliness and chase beauty.

Let us ignore the media of lies and chaer the truth

Since I go to a church that folds into its parent congregation over the holidays, we have not been paying much attention to the Church Calendar so far.

Today we did consider what it means to have God revealed — and what it would take to have the magi on their knees (and how the senior common room could chortle) or the fisheman Peter oonfessing he was a sinner — in front  of his mates.

What are the barriers”

• Fear of what others would think
• Being stubborn — that problem or sin can waith
• Not looking up form what we are doing today and thus missing Christ.
• Feeling obligated — we cannot leave everyhing.

Does our fear make us poor?

Today Oxfam asked NZ to increase the ambition for carbon targets and give more to the 3rd world for this.

Well, NZ is in debt. We are being impoverished by morons from the politicrat who produce shite such as food miles. I almost agree with Delingpole:

I first met Professor Stott a couple of years ago. He’s emeritus professor of biogeography at the University of London, and I tracked him down because in those days he was pretty much the ONLY senior scientific academic anywhere in Britain brave enough publicly to dispute the AGW ‘consensus.”We had lunch. “There are many more scientists who think the way I do,” he told me. “But they don’t want to stick their heads above the parapet. They don’t want to lose their jobs.” We talked a bit about the loneliness of our position, how impossible it was to place dissenting articles anywhere in the media, how people who thought like us were treated like pariahs.Now suddenly it has all changed utterly. And you know what? I’m in no mood for being magnanimous in victory. I want the lying, cheating, fraudulent scientists prosecuted and fined or imprisoned. I want warmist politicians like Brown and disgusting Milibands booted out and I want Conservative fellow-travellers who are still pushing this green con trick – that’ll be you, David Cameron, you Greg Clark, you Tim Yeo, you John Gummer, to name but four – to be punished at the polls for their culpable idiocy.

However, I have a better solution.

Truth: such as NZ is so efficient as a farming nation we can transport to europe for less than it costs a UK farmer to raise their crop, and

Laughter. Let is just laugh at the pompous twats from the EU, Oxfam, IPCC, raise our middle finger to them, and do exactly the opposite of what they say, for there lies the correct path

Let us remeber his family today.

Musician Pauly Fuemana has been remembered as the man who broke cultural barriers and put South Auckland on the map for all the right reasons.

The 40-year-old died yesterday, shortly after 7am, at North Shore Hospital after a short illness.

He was surrounded by his wife and five children.

A member of the Otara Millionaires Club, he shot to world fame with the 1995 hit single How Bizarre , which reached No1 in several countries including Australia, Canada and Ireland.

The Sodomiites were keen on not just homosexual love, but homosexual gang rape.

Context is important here: Abram had argues that if there wre 10 rigtheous men in the town it should not be destroyed. The closest they coulg get to was Lot. — who was by no means perfect.

Everyone else was baying for the two new men. Everyone.

My firends who are gay would  call that rape. Icall that rape.

Genesis 19:1-17

1The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and bowed down with his face to the ground. 2He said, “Please, my lords, turn aside to your servant's house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you can rise early and go on your way.” They said, “No; we will spend the night in the square.” 3But he urged them strongly; so they turned aside to him and entered his house; and he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. 4But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house; 5and they called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, so that we may know them.”'

We need to be careful here. There is no way that the OT or NT approves of sexual impurity. There is also now way the the OT and NT approve of oppression of the poor — by unjust wages. withdrawal of capital, unfair interest rates, or aggressively holding the necessities of life in bond.

And the master said tht if you have broken one law you have broken them all. What we see in Sodom was a licentious riot: the other exampple (In Judges) led to the genocide of the Benjaminite tribe (all men were aked to say shibboleth to chekc if they had the Benjaminite  accent).

2Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or anyone you have in the city — bring them out of the place. 13For we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it.” 14So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, “Up, get out of this place; for the LORD is about to destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting.

God is not mocked.

27Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD; 28and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the Plain and saw the smoke of the land going up like the smoke of a furnace.

What shall we do? Today is a new day. God’s mercies are new for today. Let us be salt and lgith today.
