Church As Unusual
In a vision the Lord gave me, I saw small white castles across the landscape, all flying white flags with red crosses on them, dotting the countryside as far as I could see. I instantly knew these represented "pastoral kingdoms." These were places where the local villagers could run in and find refuge when they felt threatened by their enemy.Read more…Magnificent - Utterly Earth Shattering - The Feast Message In Genesis for Those Who Can Accept It

The religious philosophy differs from other forms of human inquiry in the serious and even personal concern with which it is compelled to face its task. The reason for this is not far to seek.

The Bible is inundated with symbolism and literalism. However, unless one is a theologian, it’s rather difficult to understand the many symbolic meanings in the Bible. For example, the book of Revelation describes “A fiery red dragon waiting to devour a child from the woman giving birth”, “A beast rising up out of the sea with seven heads and ten horns”, or “The Great Harlot who made the inhabitants of the earth drunk with the wine of her fornication.Read more…Quinceanera - Cakes, Dresses and Celebrations

The very first verses of the 5th chapter of Joshua tell us that the heathen nations in Canaan saw the powerful manner in which the Lord brought His children through the Jordan, and that they were totally demoralized by these events.

It would appear that this would be the perfect time for Joshua to lead the people forward into the attack.Read more…America's Problems Foreign and Domestic – The Combined Speeds Factor

Paul was the author of 13 books of the Bible.

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

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.

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.
