Did God Use Forty Days In Order to Prepare Noah?
In his bestselling book, The Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren asserted that "Whenever God wanted to prepare someone for his purposes, he took 40 days." (This is the rationale behind his infamous "40 days of purpose" church campaign.) To help demonstrate his point, he claims that God used 40 days of rain to prepare Noah for his divine mission.Read more…Fake Rapture Events Might Cause Some Christians to Lose Their Faith
Christians excitedly wait in expectation of meeting our Lord Jesus Christ in the air, and forever being with him throughout eternity. We're promised that Jesus Christ will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and the trumpet of the LORD GOD, where faithful Christians who are living at the time will be caught up together with them in the clouds.Christians know Jesus Christ will one day rapture their living souls to him at the LORD GOD's chosen time...Read more…"666"

This has been going on ever since the godless liberals succeeded in ousting white leaders for Black Communists, as some of the links will testify, but the situation is getting worse and WHERE IS THE WORLD MEDIA?As someone has written, formerly when a white policeman's dog (trained for riots) went after a black criminal, the whole world knew about it and condemned it as racist. Some of these horrifying pictures of elderly white women (and even a little white baby) brutalized and murdered have yet to be shown.Read more…A Final Warning For the Luke Warm Christian

If I were to be "known" for one thing after the spark of my life has expired, it would be this: that I firmly believed that, where Christian disciplines are concerned, there should be NO SEPARATION between the SACRED and the SECULAR.I believe that one of the most unfortunate things about the spiritual renewal, or revival - whatever you call it - that so many Believers are praying for, searching for, even conjuring up when there's no revival in sight (at least not along the lines of, let's say, Lanphier's Revival, the 1857-1860 Awakening), is that far too many are searching for "hyper-spiritual" manifestations as proof that "it" is actually occurring. Gold fillings appearing in people's teeth, folks being "slain in the Spirit," tongue-talking...Read more…Understanding The Millennium (1000 Years Reign) Part 1

Abraham Desired a Heavenly LandThe Patriarchs never expected an inheritance in Palestine, never understood that to be a part of God's promise to them and never desired it. 1500 years after ancient Israel's settlement in the land, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob long since dead, were yet hoping for the homeland God had promised them. They looked for an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ (Matthew 8:11, 12) not in the land of Palestine.Read more…Israel and Judah's New Covenant - Part 3
Judah's ImpenitenceLater, Judah, followed the footsteps of her treacherous sister Israel, (Jeremiah 3:6-10) and was punished in Babylonian captivity for 70 years, according to the prophecies of Jeremiah, (25:10-12). The tragedy Daniel mourns over was after the 70 years captivity, Judah was yet not broken of her sins, (Daniel 9:1ff). Thus, we see the southern tribes in rebellion against God, by rejecting his son Jesus Christ, (the Seed and heir of the promise of Abraham).Read more…Understanding The Millennium (1000 Years Reign) - Part 2

When the reports of Pastor Ted Haggard's potential sexual downfall were first shouted from the rooftops of the mainstream media his religious friends (and others) pointed fingers at what was certainly political motivation.And politics were certainly a part of the why's and how's of Haggard's downfall but probably not in the way we first thought.To be evangelical and/or charismatic we must be aligned with a specific political party and vote a certain way on each 'important' issue', with importance being defined by someone in a ministry typically located outside of a local church ministry (para-church ministry). - Does the Qu'ran Command Endless War - By: Ray McIntyre
After the tragedies of the 11th of September 2001 and the invasion of Iraq many people are arguing that the Qu'ran and Islam itself teaches that a state of endless war exists between Muslims and 'Infidels' (who are usually defined by these folk as being Christians and Jews.)In support of their arguments they pull quotes from the Qu'ran which seem to support their position, but do they really?In this article I want to show the deceitful way in which these folk argue, either out of ignorace on their part or from a desire to stir up hatred against folk.
