Life Chain

LIFE CHAIN is a peaceful and prayerful public witness of pro-life Americans standing for one hour praying for our nation and for an end to abortion. It is a visual statement of solidarity by the Christian community that abortion kills children and that the Church supports the sanctity of Human Life from the moment of conception.

This year's Life Chain will be held on October 4, 2009.

Find out if your community is sponsoring a Life Chain. If not, then YOU sponsor… Continue

The Personhood of the Unborn

The pro-abortion side of the abortion debate has won in the past, not because their arguments were logical or well-founded, but because of emotional appeals. They kept telling us that abortion promotes equal rights, that those who oppose abortions are intolerant, and that abortions heal women who have been raped. Meanwhile, they were allowed to get away with arguments like, "the fetus is just a blob of tissue," "the fetus is not a human being," "the fetus is just part of the woman's body," and… Continue

Has anyone read the book and if so I would love to hear any comments or opinions about his writing.
I have read it at least 3 times and believe that most of what he says applies to us all

How Christianity Fulfills The Law of Moses

CURRENTLY, THIS DOCUMENT IS FOR DISCUSSION ONLY AND DOES NOT REPRESENT ANY CURRENT DOCTRINAL OPINIONS OF ITS AUTHOR.

One of the most problematic Scriptures for me is found in Matthew 5:17-20 (all verses from the English Standard Version):

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will…

THE HOPE OF THE SONS OF GOD & NOT OF THE HYPOCRITES

"It is the hope of hypocrites and not of the sons of God, that makes an allowance for the gratification of impure desires and lusts." - Matthew Henry

"...the hope of being like Christ, and being permitted to dwell with Him, will lead a man to earnest efforts to become holy, and will be actually followed by such a result." - Barnes' Notes

Every Christian should be striving to be holy. In fact, every Born Again believer can be holy and is expected to be… Continue

Abandoning Jesus

We laugh at the people in the Bible who didn’t believe and obey God. If we had lived back then, we would have been so much different than they were, we say. They said the same thing. In Matthew 23: 29, 30, Jesus said, “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous, And say, if we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.” “We wouldn’t… Continue

To our Young Brother in Christ Jesus.

Dear Lord God,
Please continue to watch over our Brother who is in the hospital.
Father, please let him feel your Loving Presence, and to know that
he is not alone, for you are always with us, that you Love us, and
will always provide for us.
We ask this, Almighty God, in the Name of Christ Jesus. Amen

Trusting in Humans or Trusting in God

Trusting in Humans or Trusting in God

This is what the Lord says:

"A curse is placed on those who trust other people, who depend on humans for strength, who have stopped trusting the Lord. They are like a bush in a desert that grows in a land where no one lives,

a hot and dry land with bad soil. They don't know about the good things God can give. "But the person who trusts in the Lord will be blessed. The Lord will… Continue

Warm Fuzzies For Jesus

Sometimes when we think of Jesus, we get all warm and fuzzy inside. He’s good and even those who don’t profess Christianity know it. We, His professing people, celebrate Jesus, sing songs to Him, sell Him on mugs, candies and t-shirts. We buy books based on His teaching, join small groups and internet groups to talk about Him and what He has done…for us. We go to church and worship Him while our minds are distracted and divided thinking about our lives. We profess Him…but most of us don’t… Continue

All In The Name Of Fun

“I do”….When these words join a couple in holy matrimony are a beautiful promise of commitment. When these same words are used to join Jesus’ church to the world they are ugly, filthy, vile and disgusting.

We, Jesus’ bride, have long believed that God has been withholding something from us (that belief goes all the way back to Eve, doesn‘t it?). Looking with longing at forbidden fruits always leads to being discontent with God‘s ways and commands. Discontentment leads us to outright… Continue

what have we done ? what do you think?

WHAT HAVE WE DONE

Collectively we as a nation have elected a president on the word that he would bring change as to how the federal government would be run and be more transparent in the process. Little did the general public know that this newly elected president and his agenda for America would result in catastrophic deficits way beyond our imagination. Deficits that will and have saddled our grandchildren and great-grandchildren with more debt than all of the presidents in the history… Continue

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS ... PRAY FOR OUR TEACHERS AND SCHOOLS

Prayer Before Lunch at School

Saturday, August 15, 2009

A principal and an athletic director in Florida could be charged with crimes and spend six months in jail after they prayed before a meal at a school event, the Washington Times reported.

Pace High School Principal Frank Lay and athletic director Robert Freeman will go on trial in federal district court Sept. 17. They're accused of violating the conditions of a lawsuit settlement reached last year with the… Continue

Where Are The People Of God?

Where are the people of God today? Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness? Who long for God more than they do for food and water? Who simply must have God–or they die? Where are the people who will cry out to God to make them holy–at any cost? Those for whom spending hours before the throne of God is normal? Where are the men and women of God who love God and His Word so very much that they will give their very lives to see it taught? Who will stand up for truth even when it is… Continue

RAMBLINGS & SUCH

Over a period of years I have submitted to a variety of Christian GROUPS and individuals posts that I have nicknamed "Ramblings" which are basically my thoughts on spiritual matters, scriptures, and personal thoughts on certain issues. When I have posted the above the response has been surprisingly good. I also appreciate very much the responses I have received and I value them highly. Therefore I have created a new address for just such posts and for responses. There is another reason for… Continue

What Is Happiness

WHAT IS HAPPINESS?

J.C. Brumfield

A sick woman. I remember a lady in the hospital who was desparately ill. She had been ill a long time and it seemed that progress was slow. She said,"If I could just be well, then I would be the happiest woman in the world." That was her idea of happiness, but there are many healthy people who are not happy.. I have known invalids who were perfectly happy and content.

*The crippled boy. He was a bright little fellow in the… Continue

AND THERE HE BUILT AN ALTAR

Here is a classic message by my son John. He relates the secret of Abraham's success in life. And it will be ours as well if we do as he did.

Life may not be easy for you right now. However, if you will keep cultivating your relationship with Jesus, you will find blessings in the end. At one point, Lot seemingly was more blessed than his uncle Abram. But in the long run, we found out who was indeed blessed of the Lord.

May you be encouraged and strengthened by this word… Continue
