Matt 10:32"Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. 33But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven. Two Students—One Not Even a Christian—Wanting to Make People Smile, Place Statue of Jesus in their School by Teresa Neumann : May 29, 2008 : Staff - AP Jesus statue prompts controversy "Most people were smiling when they saw it." (Bristol, Vermont)—A class at Mount Abraham Union High School was recently required to read a play called, "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail," about Henry David Thoreau's refusal to pay taxes over what he said was the U.S. "immoral" war in Mexico. As a way of illustrating what they had learned, students Torin Olivetti and Galen Helms erected a small, 2-ft. statue of Jesus in the school claiming that the school was being hypocritical "on the issue of separation of church and state" (since it already had a mural depicting

Rebellion

There are many  stories out there that scare me to the extent  that , I begin to wonder whether God has left us to our vices? though this stories might not be anything new in life but the fact that despite the word of God out there people are still following this route to destruction. My Prayer is that God should keep being merciful to us all in Jesus Mighty Name Amen. 2 Peter 2:1 (New International Version) False Teachers and Their Destruction 1But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves Christianity without Christ Worldwide There is a Bible on a pedestal in Gretta Vosper's West Hill United Church in Toronto. She would prefer it did not have a special place, she said, because it is just a book among other books. In a similar way, the cross that is high above the altar has

Don't have anything to be thankful for? Check your pulse! If at first you don't succeed, read the instructions (Bible)! Church: Come to worship, leave to serve. There's peace and calm in the 23rd Psalm. Trust says Jesus can-- Faith says Jesus will! You are never so high as when you're on your knees. Extreme times demand deep faith. GOD MAY SAY "WAIT"   BUT HE NEVER SAYS "WORRY" If you were on trial for being a Christian--- would there be enough evidence to convict you? Need some color in your life?  Give JESUS the paintbrush............... Beginning of all things, explained in 2 words "GOD Created" He who loses money, loses much; He who loses a friend, loses more; He who loses faith, loses all. God made round faces; man makes 'em long. Honesty is not only the best policy, it is the will of GOD! What does it take for God to get our attention? There are many things in my life for which I am ashamed, but Jesus

Doctors at 5th International Medical Conference in Norway Emphasize Spiritual Healing by Teresa Neumann : May 24, 2008 : Dan Wooding - Charisma Magazine http://www.charismamag.com/cms/news/archives/051908.php "Spiritual Healing is the remedy needed in the 21st century...we need to realize that miracles are far more contagious than any disease." (Norway)—More than 200 Christian doctors and medical professionals from over 38 nations gathered in Trondheim for the 5th International Medical Conference this week and concluded that "medicine alone cannot deal with some of today's worst illnesses and that 'spiritual healing' is the remedy needed in the 21st century." Among other things, the attendants reportedly examined actual case studies of miracles that were presented by various respected doctors as well as some patients. The cases, according to a Charisma Magazine report, ranged from a man being raised from the dead to a detached retina being healed,

Pilots run out of fuel, pray, land near Jesus sign May 21, 2008 WELLINGTON, New Zealand—It seemed like an almost literal answer to their prayers. When two New Zealand pilots ran out of fuel in a microlight airplane they offered prayers and were able to make an emergency landing in a field -- coming to rest right next to a sign reading, "Jesus is Lord." more stories like this Grant Stubbs and Owen Wilson, both from the town of Blenheim on the country's South Island, were flying up the sloping valley of Pelorus Sound when the engine spluttered, coughed and died. "My friend and I are both Christians so our immediate reaction in a life-threatening situation was to ask for God's help," Stubbs told The Associated Press on Wednesday. He said he prayed during the ill-fated flight Sunday that the tiny craft would get over the top of a ridge and that they would find a landing site that was not too steep -- or in the nearby sea. Wilson said that the pair would

Larry Keffer, who works through the Biblical Research Center in Tampa, Fla., was accompanied by Norwegian evangelist Petar Keseljevic when both were arrested for sharing the Gospel along a parade route in Oslo, Norway, according to officials with the International Human Rights Group. Spokesman Joel Thornton of the IHRG, which is working with a team of Norwegian lawyers to represent the ministers, told WND the event last week was the nation's birthday holiday.

Pain

This is actually an excerpt of a message from my pastor, D.K Olukoya who is a  fiery man of God. (God bless him)  When this topic was brought to me, last year, I was like, pain!? everybody knows pain or something about pain,  But when I read it, it dawned on me that God Almighty provided this topic at a point in my life when I needed to hear this. . . and to be reassured that I wasn't alone and that God is with me all the time. So I have brought these few points out from the whole message for you my friend and I Pray that God  will help you today to understand what His purpose for your life is today  in Jesus Mighty Name Amen What is pain? Pain is a feeling of being hurt, a feeling of suffering. It is an unpleasant discomfort experienced by some body who is wounded or ill. It is a feeling of discomfort. finally, pain is an oppressor and the bible says oppression maketh a wise man mad. Ecc 7:7 when somebody who is normal begins to experience oppression, he will behave like a mad

Always Have Faith!

When I saw this Story, I knew it had so much of me in it, I also wanted to use this story to encourage us that we should not be scared of anything in life Because our God is able to protect and keep us safe always in Jesus Mighty Name Amen. I live by this passage in the Bible Philipians 4:6  6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Always have faith in God no matter what! He is always faithful. IS YOUR HUT BURNING? The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened;

Oprah's 'Church' Video Draws Over 5 Million to YouTube On the Web: The Oprah Church Exposed YouTube Video YouTube video which features talk show host Oprah Winfrey denying Jesus as the only way to God and promoting New Age ideas has received over 5 million views and is still climbing.

According to statistics posted on YouTube, the latest streams of visitors are coming from PerezHilton.com, a Hollywood gossip blog.

But many Christians say New Age teachings espoused by Oprah in the video are a cause for concern. They believe the day-time host is distorting Christianity and leading many into spiritual confusion.

Jokes for the Week

  1) A minister was opening his mail one morning. Drawing a single sheet of paper from an envelope, he found written on it only one word: “FOOL.” The next Sunday he announced, “I have known many people who have written letters and forgot to sign their names. But this week I received a letter from someone who signed his name and had forgotten to write a letter.” 2) A boy was watching his father, a pastor, write a sermon. "How do you know what to say?" he asked. "Why, God tells me." "Oh, then why do you keep crossing things out?" 3) A Sunday school teacher asked the children just before she dismissed them to go to church, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" Annie replied, "Because people are sleeping." 4) An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him, “How do you expect to get into Heaven?” The boy thought it over and said, “Well, I’ll run in and out and in and out and keep slamming t

Fruitfulness

Image
Friends by the Special Grace of God , We are considering the issue of " fruitfulness" today. Being fruitful, what does it mean? To be fruitful is to produce fruits abundantly, or to be prolific. fruitfulness is having the ability to be productive Yeah I know many of us would say I am fruitful, I make so much profit from my business, My salary has increased in the past year or so . . . am a mother of these number of  kids b ecause when we hear fruitfulness our minds jump to the conclusion that it is about money, job promotion etc Whereas God is saying something else . . . don't get me wrong, Personal fruitfulness is great, it is a good feeling to say I have this and that. especially when we compare ourselves with others we tend to feel superior in our achievements hence we can succinctly say we are fruitful in  our own ways. The Bible tells us much about fruitfulness and why our being fruitful is very important to God Almighty. You see the Bible tells us that  Jesus C

A Short Story

Satan's Garage Sale Once upon a time, Satan was having a garage sale. There, standing in little groups were all of his bright, shiny trinkets. Here were tools that make it easy to tear others down for use as stepping stones. And over there were some lenses for magnifying ones own importance, which, if you looked through them the other way, you could also use to belittle others, or even one's self. Against the wall was the usual assortment of gardening implements guaranteed to help your pride grow by leaps and bounds: the rake of scorn, the shovel of jealousy for digging a pit for your neighbor, the tools of gossip and backbiting, of selfishness and apathy. All of these were pleasing to the eye and came complete with fabulous promises and guarantees of prosperity. Prices, of course, were steep; but not to worry! Free credit was extended to one and all. "Take it home, use it, and you won't have to pay until later!" old Satan cried, as he hawked his wares. The visito

Assyria

Assyria was originally (in the Middle Bronze Age) a region on the Upper Tigris river, named for its original capital, the ancient city of Assur . Assyria is located in north Mesopotamia and spans four countries: In Syria it extends west to the Euphrates river; in Turkey it extends north to Harran, Edessa, Diyarbakir, and Lake Van; in Iran it extends east to Lake Urmi, and in Iraq it extends to about 100 miles south of Kirkuk. This is the Assyrian heartland, from which so much of the ancient Near East came to be controlled. Assyrians are a Semitic peoples indigenous to Mesopotamia. They are Mediterranean Caucasoids, and are ethnically distinct from Arabs and Jews. Assyrians have practiced two religions throughout their history: Ashurism and Christianity . Ashurism was, of course, the first religion of the Assyrians. The very word Assyrian, in its Latin form, derives from the name of Ashur, the Assyrian god. Assyrians continued to practice Ashurism until 256 A.D, although by that
