Welcome to

Two spiffy bits of news to share for today.  One story I read awhile back, but hung onto it for awhile and the other just came out today.  Here’s the scoop(s)

1. In God he trusts, but police don’t buy it

2. Beer-vangelism at young church has Missouri Baptists hopping mad

I was interested to note that God uses Bank One and that His checks won’t clear the bank!  Our church has its account at Bank One and I am glad to know that this is the divinely approved establishment.  His account is running too low to clear $50,000?  I wonder what He spent it all on…

Another Auction

And Another

Oh dear, it looks like God has maxed out on his PayPal purchases… that explains it.

On the Evangelistic front, The Journey church in St. Louis figures, if young folks can’t find Jesus in the Bible, maybe they can find Him at the bottom of a beer stein.  At least these folks would have a better excuse for whooping, hollering, and falling all over eachother than those at a Benny Hinn service.  I wonder if they use unfermented juice during communion… I’m starting to think that maybe the ‘Garrett’s Creek church and casino’ has a nice ring to it… you know… for the young people… you call it sin, I call it ‘emergent‘.

That’s all for now, I wonder if any of my readers have thoughts on these stories?  Let’s talk about it!

The books of poetry are contained within the old testament, yet the spirit still saved a little poetic inspiration for the writers of the new.  One piece of new testament writing that holds a very poetic beauty for me is Ephesians 3:17-19:

…that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,   may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height –  to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Please read on and I’ll try my feeble hand at speaking on the love of God –>

You ain’t alone, brother.  I recently drove past a local church that was advertising a special ‘Agape Service’,  “Wow,” I thought, “I’d hate to be at one of their regular services…” 

It is this writer’s opinion that the idea of ‘agape’ love has been a bit blown out of proportion by modern day Christians.  There are several different words that the Greeks used to talk about love and these words have been examined in great depth by many.  I recommend the article “Love… Greek Style ” by Bro. Tony Denton, if you wish to get into detailed definitions of these words.  But I want to focus on the much bally-hooed word agape.  Read on –>

I realize the Hallmark Holiday has already passed and I only managed to squeeze in two posts on love before this happened, being my blog, however, I don’t really care.  I believe I will just declare this love month and dredge right along with with my labor of love.  So with out further ado, let’s talk about talking.

I brought up Adam and Eve in my previous post and want to talk about them again now.  I think that a lot of this couple’s problem was that they had a breakdown in communication.  They were apart from one another, which made communication impossible and they evidently had not communicated to one another what to do if there was some sort of trouble in paradise.  Had Adam communicated to Eve to come and find him if she ran across anything unusual (like a talking serpent) or making any rash decisions (like eating the FORBIDDEN fruit) then perhaps this could have been avoided.  How?  Let’s communicate further –>

The title of this article is a quote from William Congreve who also wrote the following:

Heav’n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn’d, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn’d

Obviously this is a man of great wisdom.  Indeed the time comes when many of us make the choice to cleave from those who have nurtured us and kept us safe in order to join ourselves to another (Gen. 2:24) in that ancient institution… dare I say, made in Heaven?  Of course marriage is made in Heaven, yet so, the saying goes, are thunder and lightning.  We can see this even in that couple so hopelessly made one that she was literally formed from his own flesh (Gen. 2:22).  Yet even in this Eden of a marriage came temptation, blame, and turmoil.  Let us study what makes fools in love STAY in love as I continue in my V-day inspired series on love (a real risk for a conservative to take ;-)  Read on –>

I feel sorry for the significant other in an evolutionist’s life, but more on that later.

For the next several days, leading up to that gloriously commercialized date on the calendar which is founded in fertility festivals and mythical stories about Catholic saints, that being Valentine’s Day, I will be discussing what else but…LOVE.  This may come as a shock to some who believe I have the heart of the grinch, but hopefully these articles will show that I do have some small grasp on the subject      :-) 

I invite my readers to please leave your comments and added thoughts as we go along, because love is nothing if not subjective, and you as the one being subjected to my thoughts on the subject, may have a totally different view. 

The first ‘love’ topic that I want to address is that of love and the evolutionist, I see no monogomous monkeys and no evolutionary advantage to romantic love and monogamy among humans, yet I wouldn’t have it any other way… would the evolutionist?   Read on –>

Here’s the scoop:  Snickers Pulls Anti-Gay Super Bowl Ads

So the moral of this story?  No one out there who has an innate distaste for seeing two men kissing eachother is allowed to express such distaste in any way or else they will be labelled a ‘homophobe’.  Most especially don’t laugh at such a reaction, because finding humor in basic human instinct is also frowned upon. 

Next time a Muslim flies a plane into a building, don’t say anything about that either you islamophobic hate-monger… you know who you are. 

Is it just me, or is this a little ridiculous?  I wonder if a homosexual man makes an ugly face when they see a heterosexual man perform some sort of stereotypical ‘manly’ act, like letting out an excruciatingly loud burp, can we label him as a ‘heterophobe’ and let all the PC police make ugly faces at him for awhile? 

God loves you folks, whether you’re gay or not.  If you’re a sinner he wants you to repent.  If you truly harbor hatred towards others, He does not approve.  If you have a gut reaction toward something abnormal, God understands, HE MADE YOU!  How far are we going to go with this junk?  Being tolerant is one thing, trying to beat all of society into one mindless mold that simply smiles and nods at everything once offensive, is quite another.

Now with that said, how bout greeting me with a holy kiss (1 Thess 5:26) next time we meet, bro?  :-)

Here’s the scoop:  Perry orders anti-cancer vaccine for schoolgirls

Compulsory vaccinations to prevent an STD for all Texas schoolgirls?  Can we say ‘government approved premarital sex’?  This is outrageous, and it gets better, the shots are to be given to –> Read the rest of this entry »
