Blogger Victory ...Sorta. Church Edits Offensive Anti-Blogging Article
David C. Pack, self proclaimed Apostle of the Restored Church of God in Wadsworth, Ohio has been forced to edit an article in his Ambassador Youth Magazine about whether teens should or should not blog or have personal websites. The article went GLOBAL after bloggers got wind of it on WhatReallyHappened in an article entitled "An Open Letter to the Teens in the Restored Church of God.Read more…Islam - A Non-Muslim's Observations
When I think of Islam, my very first thoughts are of some of the kindest people I know. I am honoured to count them amongst my friends and blessed that our paths have crossed.Sometimes I wonder if everything happens for a reason.Read more…Feeding The House of God
I feel a burden for many Churches and Ministers around the world. Many are in some of the poorest regions on Earth. Many brothers and sisters in Christ are very poor and lack the monetary funds to support the Pastor or the Church.Read more…Thanksgiving: Attitude of Gratitude Expressed in Loving Obedience
This recent exchange with a gentleman at the History Channel forum is just in time for Thanksgiving Day...The twelve tribes themselves are not European in originThe Twelve Tribes of Israel - the Anglo-Saxons and white peoples of Northwestern Europe - are Israelite in origin. We're the so-called "Lost Ten Tribes.Read more…Evangelism Now-Reaching Without Preaching
It seems evangelism has become too difficult in the minds of many Christians and too religious in the minds of everyone else. I regularly hear dedicated Christians describe our mission as if it requires a professional presentation and a degree to share the love of Jesus with someone. Churches have even gotten into the act by having professional tracts, church events and DVDs produced to "make it easier" for regular Christians but this implies, unintentionally, that regular Christians can't do this without such help and tools.Read more…How To Know If YOU Are One Of God's "Chosen" – Apostle's Series Article - Right and Wrong Thinking
Have you felt helpless? Do you sometimes think, ‘I am weak’? After really examining the whole thing, do you say, ‘There is nothing that I can do about his or her problem or my own situation?Read more…He Who has Suffered in the Flesh has Ceased from Sin - 1 Peter 4:1-2
1 Peter 4:1-2 (New King James Version)1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.We all want the mind of Christ but if we had His mind we would suffer in our flesh and we would cease from sin. It’s a popular doctrine that says we cannot be sinless and I have to tell you very honestly I have not ceased from all my sin, but I have met two men that have.Read more…Religion and the Bible: Is the Holy Book Trustworthy?
The writings of other religions and philosophies are often very valuable. They encapsulate the wisdom and experience of the best people this world has seen. But they do not represent the mind of God, our loving Father and Creator.Read more…Teaching for He Who Would Love Life and See Good Days 1 Peter 3:10-12
1 Peter 3:10-12 (New King James Version) 10 For“ He who would love lifeAnd see good days,Let him refrain his tongue from evil,And his lips from speaking deceit.11 Let him turn away from evil and do good;Let him seek peace and pursue it.12 For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous,And His ears are open to their prayers;But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil.Read more…Fear God and Give Glory to Him, for the Hour of His judgment has Come - Revelation 14:6-7
Revelation 14:6-7 (New King James Version)6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— 7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”Gabriel says:I stand at the foot of the Master and do His bidding and am His loyal servant and worship the Almighty God. From time to time I am dispatched to earth on an assignment with an important message.Read more…Restore Israeli Sovereignty Over the Temple Mount
The Wakf, the militant Muslim authority that oversees Jerusalem's Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site and Islam's alleged third holiest site (following Mecca and Medina) continue to show blatant disregard for Jewish, Christian and biblical history and non-Muslim sensitivities.Matti Friedman's AP article -- "At Temple Mount Holy Site, What Is Treasure?" -- exposes how the Wakf engaged in unsupervised and illegal gouging of the Temple Mount (the holy site of both Solomon's Temple and Zerubbabel Temple enlarged by Herod that Jesus and the apostles worshipped in), removing tons of its historically rich soil and callously dumping it in the nearby Kidron Valley (that I've walked through many times, climbing the Mount of Olives).Read more…Repent for the Kingdom of God is at Hand - Teaching on Mark 1:9-18 (Amplified Bible)
Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. Mark 1:9-18 (Amplified Bible)9In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.10And when He came up out of the water, at once he [John] saw the heavens torn open and the [Holy] Spirit like a dove coming down [to enter] ]into Him.Read more…Seeing Yourself in Two of the Seven Churches of Revelation and Having No Fear
Revelation 2:8-11 (New King James Version)8 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write,‘These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: 9 “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer.

If anybody is honestly interested in knowing whether or not this or that doctrine is actually biblical or merely traditional, all they have to do is objectively search the Scriptures like the noble Bereans did in Acts 17:11, after hearing Paul out, to see whether what he taught was true.Examples:The Church of God teaches, like Jesus, "the meek shall inherit the Earth." Traditional Churchianity denies it and says folks "go to Heaven.Read more…How the Grace of a Broken Heart Can Open Our Eyes to the Broken World Around Us

These are Two Churches:The Catholic Church and the Protestant ChurchRevelation 131And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.The seven heads and 10 horns represent worldwide and total dominion.7 heads are for the 7 continents in the world10: is the number of the fullness or completion of manMan has 10 fingers and 10 toes to be completeGod gave us 10 commandmentsJesus gave us 10 beatitudesThe horns represent military strength or "rule by force"The crowns represent political authority or governmentRise up out of the Sea: The Sea is symbolic or representative of the Presence of God in the world and in His Church.Read more…Another Message from the Throne
I feel like I am really alone in the wilderness, kind of like John the Baptist; but God has given me a task out here and that is to warn His People and sound the Trumpet.We are in the final war: the war will be waged against the Church.

One day, some six years ago in the year 2000 I was laying on a bed in a room with two beds reading a book as my Christian friend was listening to his tape player. He was listening to the Bible on tape> It was some homework I had set him for each day to listen to one book of the Bible a day. He came to the following passage as the accomplished actor read the Bible and when he heard it he asked me to stop the tape player and told me to re- wind the tape a little.Read more…Six Helpful Tips On Writing A Good Article Or Sermon That Gets Results For God

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
He is Allah, besides Whom there is no god; the King, the Holy, the Giver of peace, the Granter of security, Guardian over all, the Mighty, the Supreme, the Possessor of every greatness Glory be to Allah from what they set up (with Him). [ Al - Quran - 59.23 ]Peace is something that everyone wants probably more than anything else. - The Broad and Narrow Way of Life - By: Kimberly Jackson
Matthew 7:13 and 14: Enter through the strait gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.Imagine a gate before you. Once you enter through this gate, the way is either broad or narrow. - Bat Mitzvah: A Jewish Female's Celebration of Coming of Age - By: Gail Leino
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

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. - Sin is Serious! - By: Rebecca Livermore
I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner – not even to eat with such a person.
