Disgraced pastor's former church paid settlement to young volunteer This image taken from video, supplied by Magnolia Pictures, shows the Rev. Ted Haggard preaching in the documentary film "Jesus Camp." updated 9:24 p.m. ET Jan. 23, 2009 DENVER - Disgraced evangelical leader Ted Haggard's former church disclosed Friday that the gay-sex scandal that caused his downfall extends to a young male church volunteer who reported having a sexual relationship with Haggard — a revelation that comes as Haggard tries to repair his public image . Brady Boyd, who succeeded Haggard as senior pastor of the 10,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs, told The Associated Press that the man came forward to church officials in late 2006 shortly after a Denver male prostitute claimed to have had a three-year cash-for-sex relationship with Haggard. Boyd said an "overwhelming pool of evidence" pointed to an "inappropriate, consensual sexual relationship...

WATCH THIS EVIL MESSAGE. . . AM SPEECHLESS, I cried just watching this, I cannot believe this!     REPENT PASTOR LEROY THOMPSON

O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home   Oh Father Lord my God,  we are Grateful for all you have done for us till date. I thank You for  the gift of your son Jesus Christ who died for our sins on the Cross of Calvary, I thank you for the Holy spirit and also giving us the fruit and gifts of the Spirit,  I thank you for the blood of Jesus that washes away our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness. . . we ask that your infinite mercy abide with us now  and forevermore. Brethren we are blessed to be here today  . . .  I pray that now that 2008 has finally ended , 2009 will be a blessed and better year for us in Jesus Mighty Amen.    As I was Praying last night and I asked the Lord what He wanted from me and His People this coming year of 2009  and this was the reply I got after a  brief silence  . . . My People...

Words: Charles D. Meigs , 1917. Lord, help me live from day to day In such a self-forgetful way That even when I kneel to pray My prayer shall be for—Others. Refrain Others, Lord, yes others, Let this my motto be, Help me to live for others, That I may live like Thee. Help me in all the work I do To ever be sincere and true And know that all I’d do for You Must needs be done for—Others. Refrain Let “Self” be crucified and slain And buried deep: and all in vain May efforts be to rise again, Unless to live for—Others. Refrain And when my work on earth is done, And my new work in Heav’n’s begun, May I forget the crown I’ve won, While thinking still of—Others. Refrain

By Pastor Aiden Wilson Tozer WE ARE A BAD LOT, WE SONS OF ADAM. One convincing proof of our inherent badness is the way we manage to turn good into evil and make our very blessings a curse to us.  Indeed I think a strong case can be made for the belief that sin is merely righteousness in reverse and evil but perverted good.  Sin is at bottom the abuse of things in themselves innocent, an illegitimate use of legitimate gifts. We Christians are cut from the same bolt as the rest of mankind, and while we have been made partakers of a new nature we have not yet been entirely divested of the old.  For this reason we are under constant temptation to lapse into the flesh and manifest the old nature rather than the new .  I know the arguments against this, but they have never seemed very convincing to me, especially when those who advance them are as likely as not to reveal pretty plain evidences of the old nature before the argument is ended. Becaus...

Suffice it to say that A dear friend, Sir Poddy sent me an email, at first I didn't go to the link but then He sent the article to my inbox which I was very grateful for. Not only did it make it easier for me but I was now going to read this post as the Spirit of God led me to take a look at it. and when I got to it, I became worried by the tone of the letter still I continued reading the post and came off with so many questions but won't be asking any questions today for enough has been said already about this but, that doesn't make it any less painful. For I not only found out that even the ministry itself has a lot of Praying to do for Spiritual wisdom ,but that Todd is even adamant to repent of His sins and that breaks my little heart BUT . . . Christians, it is time I think we start Praying for many who are called to serve in  the vineyard of the Lord. We are to Pray even for those who called themselves into the ministry and those who are confused too (trust...

  Matthew 6:19-21 19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also . I have always believed this passage and have been living it but today the reality of the passage hit me once again when Lucky came back home from our stock brokers office to tell me that my shares plunged and I lost so many thousands of dollars (USD) in the markets, Immediately I heard in my head this voice say " Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth " and I knew right then the Good Lord was teaching me a great lesson and for me to take the message out there to my brothers and sisters that Help only comes from the Lord Trust Him for all your needs Phil 4:19 but am not going to be worried for my God is on the Thr...

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...

This particular article  was brought to my  attention by an anonymous visitor and I didn't think it would nice for me to read it alone because, I'd say, this about clears most of the questions I and most of  you fellow brothers and Sisters have been asking for sometime now and I think that the Body of Christ needs to heal from this heartache so we can move forward. . .  to the work of our God ! Amen. READ THIS REPORT AND WATCH FOR THE POINTS I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED BELOW: ROBERT RICCIARDELI RESPONDS TO RECENT TODD BENTLEY NEWS Sun August 17, 2008 10:11 am  Roberts Weekly Pondering Todd Bentley's moral failure was publicly exposed this week. There is more that has come forth from young women and pastors from his home town and around the world, so more information should be forthcoming, unfortunately . We have tried to be wise in our reporting, as we felt compelled to report because so many questions were being asked and so many were being influenced by wrongful d...

I know some of  you might not like /love me for this post , or might not even want to  visit my blog after this but , am addressing this Todd Bentley issue because of the fact that God has vindicated me and all those who asked this same question about Todd Bentley and His ways. Secondly to address the erroneous feeling that I in some way, am enjoying what is happening to Todd  Bentley and his Ministry.  . . far from that! In fact am  ashamed and sad that so - called Christians are busy deceiving  others and making it difficult for real Christians to do  the work of God Almighty in this day and age . . .  where the devil is pulling all the stops to make sure that Christians find things difficult in this life. The reason for  my  previous post was because I was baffled about his divorce and I wondered why a man who claimed to do  all those mighty things suddenly, wants out of his marriage to his  wife of many years . Even thou...

A Desperate Man There was a man who had everything you could want, everything but happiness and hope. He had a good business and more money than he could count, houses all over the world, and owned an island in the South Pacific Ocean. He had a loving wife and four children, two boys and two girls. He was constantly putting on parties and all sorts of affairs trying to find what his younger brother already had. You see his younger brother had been ask to become a partner in the company several years earlier but turn it down because he was already a partner in something bigger. The younger brother did not own a fancy house instead he and his wife rented a small three-bedroom house in the country where they were raising their three children, one son and two daughters. The younger brother was happy with his life; he had everything he needed. You see the younger brother had found Jesus Christ and was living life the way God wanted him to. The older brother could not understand how his youn...

This is so sad , yet it is also a message to us Christians that while some of us are busy with getting wealth and stuff , Others are dying daily  through the serious "persecution business" working/thriving in certain regions of the Earth today. This is a sad  News report  coming out of Saudi Arabia . . . John August 14th, 2008 Christian , Muslim , Persecution , Saudi Arabia Israel Today reports that a young girl in Saudi Arabia was brutally executed by her Muslim father this week after he learned his daughter had converted to Christianity. Middle East business news website Zawya.com reported that the man, who is a prominent member of a “virtue committee,” first cut out his daughter’s tongue and held a one-sided religious debate with her. He then burned his daughter alive. Observant Muslims hold that their Prophet Mohammed taught that Muslims who convert to any other religion must be killed, often in extremely brutal fashion. THINK ON THIS Matthew 10:28-42 28...

What will it cost us Christians to give our lives completely to God? This is a question I ask myself daily. Surrendering 99% of one's life is not and  will not be enough for  God Almighty but, He wants 100%, all of you and me . God gave  us His  all, remember he sent His "only" begotten Son Jesus Christ to Die for you and me . . . this is the simple gospel,  Christians should be preaching. I'm not preaching here, all am saying is that, with the recent happenings in and around the World, No one is sure of tomorrow . . . only by His Grace are we living and breathing. I ask for you to give the whole of your Life to God. His hand is Mighty and safe and He will not turn away those who seek Him early. A well paying Job with executive positions will not make you any special, Hollywood will not save you from death, fame and fortune will not make you live an extra day without God's intervention, doctors and best clinics cannot save your life . . .  if not for...

The whole News Media and Christians alike  terrified with this news at least I speak for myself . I thought pastors/bishops were role models? and people who should show the "lost" the way to the Cross, how disappointed I am  about this news. I ask myself couldn't they have forgiven and forgotten? or was their bruised ego too much to bear; making it difficult for them to humble themselves before God and reconcile to the Glory of God?. (sometimes I wonder if it was as a result of the beating taking place at a public place that made it worse for her to forgive, maybe if it was at home nobody would know and she might still be in the Marriage) who knows!? I ask again isn't there any tiniest way the Holy Spirit must have dropped it in their hearts for them to make peace for the sake of the flock they are overseeing? Well I know that some of us are too familiar with God so we can  do whatever we like Proverb 14:12  There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the en...
