The Right to be Happy???

Is happiness a right?

Here in the U.S.A. we have rights.

We have the right to a trial by jury...
the right to remain silent...
the right to free speech and free press...

our Declaration of Independence declares that we are endowed with certain rights from our Creator: Life, Liberty, & the pursuit of happiness...

Life: God gave it to us-

Liberty: we are all created in God's image, so we are all equal- none of us has the right to make another human being our slave.

Pursuing Happiness: .................... i guess we have the right to chase some happiness in our short lives, but is it our right to catch it?

Do we as humans have the right to be happy?

Is God obligated to dish us out some happiness?

i know alot of people preach that He is... but is He really bound to give us all a happy income? a happy marriage? a happy parenthood? happy friendships?
Is that really a right we have? or merly a benefit?

i ask you to participate in this discussion... what do you think & why?

Do any of us have the RIGHT to be happy?

It's my goal for others to join me in the journey that is following Jesus, will you join me as i honestly wrestle through this question?

Think about it, Post a comment here about it, & please... be honest.

God Challenge

The conversation went something like this:
"Have you heard about Blasphemy Challenge?"
"Yeah, that's old news," i replied
"But have you went and checked it out?" They asked me
i thought for a few seconds, "No but i've seen it on the news."
"You need to go and check it out for yourself."

That got my wheels turning. So i did, i went to blasphemychallenge.com/ and checked it out. The way it impacted me is almost indescribable. i literally felt sick.

We need to do something. But what?

That's what! A place where we as believers can make an organized response. Blasphemy Challenge is pushing unbelief! Jesus said in John 3:18 that those who do not believe are already condemned. This is our chance to show the world, and hopefully eventually those who are considering participating in the Blasphemy Challenge, that faith is REAL! That God is REAL!

Join us as we make a stand... who knows? it could be YOUR testimony that reaches someone.

If you are interested you can see me and we will post your response to God Challenge! The web-cam is ready and waiting for You!
