Christmas Spirit
Call to Christians (followers of the Christ of Christmas):
In the wake of the annual flood of anti-Christmas or pro-Christmas rhetoric that happens every year at this time, and the all too natural motivation to retaliate and make a statement of strength, I'm asking you to do something radical and risky - but very Christian.
Let's demonstrate the spirit of Christmas by spending more, not less, at the stores that are taking Christ out of Christmas.
Let [...]
Question:
If God could change one thing in your life, what would it be? Name it.
Identify it.
What is it?
Now answer this question - what or who is more important to you than giving God the one thing He wants?

Eyes to See
Sensitive to the eternal – “… with the Lord, every day is packed with eternity and eternity is impacted every day.” II Pet. 3:8 (dgw)
In the biblical account of Jacob’s ladder, Jacob exclaims, “Surely the Lord is present in this place and I did not know it!” or perhaps, and at least, “There is much more going on here than I supposed!” Gen. 28:16 (dgw)
Here is an example from my experience:

God's Perfect Word
It is a wonderful to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have a Word of God that is pure and perfect. I personally don't understand why any one would want anything else. The knowledge that I can completely trust every word that I read as being God's exact words to me is comforting and reassuring that He has me in mind to follow Him.
Why would any one want a book that was supposed to be your guideline for life and the ultimate future beyond this life to be based on interpretation [...]

These Guides provide important and useful content written in a concis [...]
What do you think? Is Cessationism Biblical?
Is Cessationism Biblical?Found at: http://www.gotquestions.org/cessationism.html
Question: "Is cessationism Biblical?"
Answer: Cessationism is the view that the “miracle gifts” of tongues and healing have ceased—that the end of the apostolic age brought about a cessation of the miracles associated with that age. Most cessationists believe that, while God can and still does perform miracles today, the Holy Spirit no longer uses [...]
Thought for Today ...
"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." Jim Elliot (based on Luke 16:9)
So what is your story? ( askmemystory.org )
Today marks the launch of http://www.askmemystory.org/ which is a non-profit organization that God laid on my heart in April '08 when I was praying and asking Him why I had such a hard time sharing my faith with others although I can talk to anyone about anything. His answer was ‘ask me my story'.
Our purpose is to:
Help Christians share their "story", which in turn tells the story of Jesus Christ. By using our resources and the "Ask [...]
A young nun enters a convent
HUMOR
A young nun enters a convent, where she can only utter two words every ten years. After the first decade, she visits Mother Superior and says, "bed hard."
Ten years later, she says, "food bad." After 30 years, she goes to the Mother Superior and says, "I quit."
"I'm not surprised," says Mother Superior. "You've been complaining ever since you got here.&quo [...]
Beware of the False Prosperity Teaching
Today Prosperity Preachers Mark 4:19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
Mark 10:23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Mark 10:24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them th [...]
Time for a joke
A little mouse died and went to the Pearly Gates where St. Peter met him and invited to come in, but the mouse told him he wanted to look around first. St Peter said that was okay with him. After looking around the mouse approached St. Peter and told him he would like to stay but it is too big there and he would get tired running around all day. St. Peter thought for awhile and said he had just the thing for him, a pair of roller skates so the mouse decided to stay. Soon a cat d [...]
CLOUDS AND DARKNESS
CLOUDS AND DARKNESS
A person who has not been born again by the Spirit of God will tell you that the teachings of Jesus are simple. But when he is baptized by the Holy Spirit, he finds that "clouds and darkness surround Him..." (Psalm 97:2) When we come into close contact with the teachings of Jesus Christ we have our first realization of this. The only possible way to have full understanding of the teachings of Jesus is through the light of the Spirit of G [...]
SALVATION
SALVATION
In the letter to the Romans we find the apostle Paul's clearest and most detailed explanation of the gospel message. After his customary salutation, Paul explains his unabashed passion for taking the Good News of Christ to the ends of the earth: "It is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes" (Romans 1:16). The Greek word for salvation used by Paul literally means "deliverance" or "preservation." In a [...]

Redefining Marriage
I wonder sometimes if I have not done more to affect the redefinition of marriage than the government ever could. Am I living up to and experiencing the biblical definition of marriage? Or have I already settled for a redefined marriage?
