May there be a brother or sister to help you

There was a man all alone;
       he had neither son nor brother.
       There was no end to his toil,
       yet his eyes were not content with his wealth.
       “For whom am I toiling,” he asked,
       “and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?”  ECCL:4:8
There is a lot of people losing jobs and lowering there expectations. Some [...]

Atheist Joke

The fool has said in his heart,
         “There is no God.”  Psalm 14:1
There is a joke email going around about a Judge in the Florida that recently ruled April Fool’s Day as the National Holiday for Atheists.
In short, an atheist filed a discrimination case saying there is no national holiday for athiests as there are for religious people. The judge dismissed the [...]

Do what is right and pray for strength when you fail

Daily quote:To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. Proverbs 21:3�One possible way to look at this:It can be very hard to do the right thing. But this is more loved by God then giving up something you love. However, if you find yourself in a hard [...]

Research Shows Christianity Is Failing

 The Barna Group is a Christian group that has done research on the attitudes of both Christians and non-Christians. Both groups are becoming less supportive of the church. Here is a quote from their website;
“The research discovered that people are reframing not just faith in general, but Christianity in particular. While slightly fewer adults – [...]

Church and State

“There is one fundamental question about which I often am asked. What do I believe about Jesus Christ? I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of mankind. My church’s beliefs about Christ may not all be the same as those of other faiths. Each religion has its own unique [...]

The Real Deal

I was just watching Downhill Ski Racing and here is the banter:
#1 “He (the skier) is a Morman.”
#2 “A real Morman?”
#1 “I don’t know if he is the real deal, but he is a downhiller so I am sure there are some things he does that are bad.”
I have struggled when ever I have tried [...]

Biblical Interpretation

Most churches will teach a little on how to interpret the Bible, but they don’t do a very good job of it. It is not in their best interest that you learn how to see the wickedness of their ways. And they get away with plenty! They know that most will not do the research [...]

Forgiveness vs Trust

Would you forgive someone who offended you? Of course!
Eph 4: 31,32 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
We must forgive or we allow our own spirit to be [...]

Christianity or Christ

I would like to comment on something expressed at themiraclechannel.ca forum;
(Andre) “We MUST stand and require our leaders to choose between Christianity and Christ, because so far, a very little portion of them know how to make this distinction.”
This is from Andre and before I go on I should say that Andre toned it down [...]

Lessons For Leaders

It is very important that you know that my concerns for the Church are directed at the leaders. Of course I hope that others who have no desire to be a leader will read as well so that they can know which leaders are good and which are bad (and why it is very important [...]
