Religion is Holding Humanity Back
I had always thought this country was set up on some basic but powerful concepts. One of these, and one I feel is more important now more than ever, is that we as a people will be free from the Government participating in, endorsing, or restricting, any religion whatsoever. The reasoning behind this idea is simple.Read more…Is one of God's Tools a Superbubble
Science has always held a strong interest for me and I am always amazed when I learn of a new discovery that may be the instrument of God. Newsweek, January 28, 1980 contained an article under science about Clouds in Space. I was so taken by the article that I made several copies and saved them.Read more…Loving Others as They Are
Yesterday while in the local drugstore I had the opportunity to meet someone with Tourette's Syndrome. Tourette's Syndrome is a rare condition where an individual cannot always control his/her actions and movement.It can be mind jarring to meet someone with this condition because one minute he/she may seem perfectly normal and the next the person is screaming and saying things that make no sense.Read more…The Forgotten Greek Gods
Mention Greek gods and people immediately think of Zeus and the like. Before these well-known gods came on the scene, however, there were another group of Gods.There were many figures featured in the Greek mythological world, from gods and goddesses to mythical fantasy creatures.Read more…Long Life
I’ve heard people say that there is nothing in God’s Word telling us we can live a long life, so that prompted this study. Although, this is not a comprehensive study, it shows God’s desire for man. The Word tells us let everything be established by 2 or 3 witnesses, and there is enough evidence provided here to satisfy that criteria.Read more…Press On
Philippians 3:12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14.Read more…Relationship before Function
As many are aware, I'm quite an advocate for the growing house church "movement" and love helping others to establish churches in their homes, coffee shops, office breakrooms, etc. I'm having a ball doing this and it's VERY rewarding. I was recently looking at Luke Chapter 10 verses 1-9 and there are some principles found there that will not only prove beneficial to the "house churchers" among us, but ANY Christian whose heart is set on advancing the Kingdom of God.Read more…The Bible Jesus Read
Have you ever wonder that if Jesus were here today, what translation of the Bible would He use? Would He use the ever popular NIV? Or maybe He would hold to extremely literal translations like the NASB?Read more…Tips from A Healthy, Wealthy & Wise Mentor, a Man of Abundance in Money, Counsel & Faith; Part 2
Please read Part 1More of my comments on Joseph’s last email.This time around I have not got a lot of fear of turning back every time I have money and I have a real positive thing that keeps me happy. Since the spirit of lust left me it's though my eyes have changed and women look completely different.Read more…Ethics and Morality - Right and Wrong
According to one author, we've seriously lost our way. He says we are like men adrift at sea without a compass. Many of us know this, and realize something has gone terribly wrong, but what to do about it evades us.Read more…To the Pope-mobile
On May 13, 1981, Pope John Paul II went into St. Peter’s Square in Rome to bless some 20,000 worshippers. As he entered, a man named Mehmet Ali Hagca pulled out a 9mm pistol and shot the Pope four times from 15 feet away.Read more…Building An Effective Church Website
In 1995 I started building and marketing Christian-oriented websites. That makes me one of the veterans of the net. I was still in my teen years and saw the Internet as the mature version of Nintendo.Read more…God's Lawlessness is Not Antinomianism
Many staunch Christians would frown at a statement that reads: Our living God is a lawless being. Some of them may agree that ours is a lawless, sinless God. Yet many sincere Christians may agree to the plausible statement that says ours is a law abiding God.Read more…Who is the Paraclete?
Ever since there has been a Christian church, there have been people who take the concepts of Christianity and run off in some weird ways with them. One of the earliest can be seen in Acts 19:13-16 when the seven sons of Sceva borrow Jesus and Paul’s names to cast out demons. The end result involves a beating and fleeing in the nude.Read more…Would Jesus Celebrate Halloween?
Scripture doesn’t say anything about Halloween, but it does have principles in which we can make a better judgment on how we should celebrate this holiday, or if we should celebrate it at all. As Christians we should always be discerning in our choices and take time in prayer and reflection to decide if something is right for us.Would Jesus listen to music?Read more…David And Goliath: What Was He Thinking?
Imagine that you are standing in the middle of a valley. On the hill in front of you are thousands of enemy soldiers all shaking their fists at you and hoping you will die. On the hill behind you are thousands of your soldiers, all scratching their heads because they think that you are crazy.Read more…Our Compensating God!
Years ago I put together some thoughts to help us all through dark times. May you be lifted and blessed by these thoughts. Joy does indeed come in the mo[u]rning, and we have a Compensating God, of that I am sure!Read more…How to Start A Food Ministry
One of the most rewarding activities that any church or other group can undertake is a food ministry. As someone who has helped start food ministries before, I must warn you that it is also a tremendous amount of work. Don't jump into it on a whim or without doing sufficient planning.Read more…The State Of The Church
Where do you start, with such a growing issue that is plaguing the body of Christ? I want to first take this time to officially introduce myself, and the gifts that have been entrusted to me that are currently being utilized within the Body Of Christ. My name is Dr.Read more…Knowing Your Position
Scripture Lesson: Genesis: 3 Key Scripture: Genesis 3:9 “And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, where art thou”The lesson revealed to me is to help today’s disciples move into a righteous position, after we have answered the call from God. Through this lesson we will learn how to• maintain our divine position, regardless of the test. 1Peter 4:12-13 …..Read more…

- Role played by Church retreat in our daily life - By: Ron Victor
Within each one of us lies the desire to know the meaning of our lives. At some point of time man strives to analyze the reason for his birth and his duties towards the Almighty. Not all of them get the answers for these questions by themselves; some of them need to be guided by persons who know the answers; or persons who will guide us to find these answers. - The Path of Divinity - By: Rita Jain
Spirituality is not something that can possibly be circumscribed with religions, cultures or art, but yet it finds expression through these modes. Our generation fully understands this reality and so puts on their best to unveil the spirituality that is hidden in all relics of the world. - Christianity – The Religion that is Not - By: Michael Bresciani
In the seventeenth chapter of Matthew the Apostles Peter, James and John were with Christ when he suddenly was transfigured (glowing or glorified) and was seen talking with Moses and Elijah. Instead of trying to hear what was being said between Jesus, Moses and Elijah, Peter decided that building a shrine to commemorate the event would be a better idea. A voice came from above that changed Peters mind and is still changing minds to this day. - What is Peace - By: Syed Masrur

The female equivalent of Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, is the rite of passage between childhood and becoming an adult female, in the Jewish faith. At approximately the age of twelve, Jewish females become Bat Mitzvah. At this time, she becomes responsible for herself and her life decisions, both inside and outside the church. - Jesus Isn't A Brand Name - By: Glen D. Williams

Lookin' in your eyes I see a paradise This world that I found is too good to be true Standing here beside you, want so much to give you This love in my heart and I feel it for you Let 'em say we're crazy, I'll give a path Put your hands in my hand baby don't ever look back Let the world around us, just fall apart Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart And we can build this thing together Standing strong forever Nothing's gonna stop us nowWhen I first came to love this song it was at an Amway convention when they blasted out songs and showed slides of cars, houses and holidays and the richest of possessions that we could all dream for and strive for. Sorry to bring Amway into it. May make a few of you laugh though. - Ted Haggard and How Evangelical Politics Helped End His Preaching Career - By: Les Herron
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.
