It's All About The Money!!!

Matthew 6:19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?   You Do...

Brothers and Sisters, the issue in India is still very terrible as you know already cause this was posted on the 3rd of September here. . .

Yesterday a very good friend of this blog  Alan Pardoe of POD requested that I post this on COH Blog so am posting a link to the site due to it's very graphic nature you may want to view them on the original site CHURCH ON THE ROCK I also got this piece of news from the Compass News so you grasp how serious an issue this is. . .

Church Sex Campaigns!?

Image
IS THIS PART OF THE GREAT COMMISION . . . CHRISTIANS? IS THIS WHAT THE LAST DAYS CHURCH LOOKS LIKE? IS SEX THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IN LIFE THAT CHURCHES NOW SPEND TIME ADVOCATING  AND PROMOTING  IT? WHAT IS NEXT FROM THESE PREACHERS?   Watch this too   I cannot even begin to imagine that this goes on in Churches in America AND AROUND THE WORLD! I haven't been doing much blogging lately or even visiting my fave blogs because am a bit stressed at the moment and am also trying not to sit for long due to pain I have on my pelvic bone but the Lord is Strengthening me in Jesus Mighty Name Amen. I thought all that was going on in most Churches was the lukewarm messages coming out out of the pulpit.  I didn't know that right there in the Church, "Sex" is now the major subject  instead of the message of salvation and repentance from sin. As if people don't get enough of that from the media , they still have get that inside the Church too!? Jesus am scared...

Televangelist Juanita Bynum’s ex-husband seeks new wife on Web

DULUTH, Ga. (AP) — The ex-husband of national televangelist Juanita Bynum , who divorced after a parking lot fight between the two landed him in jail, plans to take his search for a new wife to the Internet with videos featuring dating tips and what he’s looking for in a mate. Thomas W. Weeks III , a minister who runs an Atlanta-area church and is known to his followers as Bishop Weeks, said the 10-episode series will be available starting Tuesday on his Web site. Excerpts available Friday included Weeks, 41, discussing with aides what he should look for in his third wife. The group concludes the woman should be at least 25 years old but “with special exemptions for 21 and up if they are classy,” Weeks said. She also must want to have children with him. “This woman has to be very discerning, and very intimate, and very social and very sensual,” Weeks says, laughing. “And on the ministry side she has to be very diverse. She can...

Feeding Sheep or Amusing Goats?

by C. H. Spurgeon An evil resides in the professed camp of the Lord so gross in its imprudence that the most shortsighted can hardly fail to notice it. During the past few years it has developed at an abnormal rate evil for evil. It has worked like leaven until the whole lump ferments. The devil has seldom done a more clever thing than hinting to the Church that part of their mission is to provide entertainment for the people, with a view to winning them. From speaking out as the Puritans did, the Church has gradually toned down her testimony, then winked at and excused the frivolities of the day. Then she tolerated them in her borders. Now she has adopted them under the plea of reaching the masses. My first contention is that providing amusement for the people is nowhere spoken of in the Scriptures as a function of the Church . If it is a Christian work why did not Christ speak of it? "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." That is clear enoug...

Ten Christians God Will Not Allow Into Heaven

#1 You can believe in God and not be saved. James 2:19 "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that — and shudder." (NIV) #2 You can acknowledge Jesus as Lord and not be saved. Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." (NIV) #3 You can speak in the name of Jesus and not be saved. Matthew 7:22-23 "Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'" (NIV) #4 You can drive out demons in the name of Jesus and not be saved. Matthew 7:22-23 "Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, '...

Satanists Ate Teenagers!!!

Breaking News 1:59pm UK, Wednesday September 10, 2008 Eight suspected satanists have been arrested in Russia for allegedly stabbing to death and eating the body parts of four local teenagers, reports claim. The four victims were lured one by one to a country cottage in the region of Yaroslavl on the Volga River, a popular Russian tabloid said. The teenagers were then stabbed "666 times" each, as part of a satanist ritual, the daily said, quoting investigators. The victims were allegedly forced to get drunk before being stabbed and dismembered. Their killers then lit a bonfire under a tree near the cottage where they cooked and ate their victims' body parts, the report claimed. Hair from the victims was apparently found in the embers of the bonfire. The report also quoted interrogations with the suspects and said police had intercepted their phone calls following the killings. The victims - three girls and one boy - were all aged between 16 and 17 and belonged to local...

Christians Formerly Muslims Charged With Apostasy

By Michael Ireland Chief Correspondent, ASSIST News Service IRAN (ANS) — Two Christians from Muslim backgrounds were officially charged with apostasy last week at the Public and Revolutionary Court in Shiraz, Iran, raising fears for their continued well-being. Capital punishment for apostasy is not codified in Iranian law,  Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) explained in a media advisory. According to the Bill of Indictment obtained by Farsi Christian News Network (FCNN), the prosecutor requested the death penalty for 53 year old Mahmoud Mohammad Matin-Azad and 40 year old Arash Ahmad-Ali Basirat by evoking the judge’s constitutional obligations to refer to Shari’a law, and by citing Imam Khomeini’s book, Tahrir-ul-Vasile, which stipulates the death penalty for apostasy. CSW said that as Mr Matin-Azad and Mr Basirat, who have been detained since May 15, await a verdict, another Iranian Christian, Ramtin Soodmand, has been held without formal charge since August 21, 2008. Mr....

Please Pray for India

This post is to draw your attention to the serious Persecutions that our fellow Christians are going through in India. I have been worried for sometime now that almost everyone even the governments of the world are keeping quiet while these savage attacks are being meted out to our fellow  Christians all over the world.  we cannot sit back and do nothing brothers and Sister, there is something we can do and that is, call on Our Father in  Heaven to help us out in this case. I actually saw a Man threaten Christians on TV with death, if they don't denounce Christ and Christianity and it is so terrible and painful to see the horrific pictures and evil being perpetuated by these evil people on  Our Christian Brethren. So I am calling for Christians to Pray for India, I beg you to please take out time in your day to do this at least until the violence and maiming of the Children of God stops in India and elsewhere in the World. Here is a little summary of the events...
