The defining difference between Jesus' message, and religion	[ moderator_chat ]	Saturday 18 April 11:13
Grace, amazing grace is the defining difference between Christianity and every other religion.  Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and so many others are founded upon the principle of works, whereby man aspires to see God. Man is taught that through human effort, he can climb the ladder to God.  Although I love the writings of the mystics, too much of their writings focus on this effort to cleanse oneself before entering the presence of God.  Entrance into the heavenly portals is believed to be dependent upon man's good works and moral living. On the other hand, Jesus taught with authority of a new way.  One doesn't clean himself up to get into the presence of Father; he is cleansed in the presence of Father.  Jesus described it as a narrow way - narrow only because men refuse to believe it could be so easy.  The road of human effort is a broad way because it is more acceptable to man's pride. Man's fallen soul wants to gain things - possessions, wealth, even eternal life - by his own efforts.  This was the sin of pride that caused the fall of the first man, and it hasn't grown any weaker since its manifestation in the garden. The first step of every man's spiritual life is taken by faith empowered by grace.  "Through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God" (Rom. 5:2). - Don Milam, The Ancient Language of Eden
The passion of the Christian	[ crhm ]	Friday 10 April 12:32
This is a WorldNetDaily printer-friendly version of the article which follows. To view this item online, visit http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?pageId=23485   Friday, April 10, 2009   PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM The passion of the Christian Exclusive: David Kupelian explores what it really means to be a follower of Jesus Posted: February 27, 2004 1:00 am Eastern   By David Kupelian WorldNetDaily.com     And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? – Mark 8:34-37 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. – Luke 9:23 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. – Matthew 10:38   Many dazzlingly eloquent words have been written and spoken lately about Christ's "Passion" – both the Mel Gibson movie and the Real Thing. Indeed, viewing "The Passion of the Christ" is powerfully rekindling many believers' appreciation for what Jesus endured for their sakes. Question: Will this roaring fire of gratitude for Christ's suffering and death on the cross also rekindle – or ignite for the first time – a fire in the belly of believers for "taking up the cross" themselves? What about it? Is it enough to immerse our minds and souls and emotions in the graphic realization of Christ's immense suffering on our behalf? Or are we going to go the distance, finish the race, and fulfill Jesus' direct and repeated instruction that each of us "take up his cross daily"? But first things first. What in the world does "taking up your cross" really mean? Visit the link/site at top to read the full article.

(the movie) Twilight's focus on blood...	[ test ]	Friday 28 November 11:21
Quoted from Eric Barger's excellent article.... Leviticus 17 tells us that life is in the blood. This Old Testament teaching from The Law finds unfathomable depths of meaning when one thinks of what Christ's blood represents for all who will believe. Satan is very interested in the mockery of God's Word, His name and His Cross. Lucifer, as with vampires, is blood thirsty. He would love nothing more than to deceive young, impressionable people - whom God loves and Jesus died for - into somehow believing that eternal life can be attained some other way than through Jesus and His once-for-all sacrifice on Calvary. Until the final battle has been fought and the Lord has come with His everlasting and perfect peace, Satan will attempt to prevail through manipulating those who he may. Stephenie Meyer is just one in a long line of those who, without any understanding of it, the Evil One has paid big money to for their services. Twilight is more than mere entertainment. To some it has become every bit as important and as captivating as a religion. The most famous line from the book and movie is Edward Cullen's statement to Bella "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb." This is Meyer's crafty, yet sick play upon biblical words. The truth is that when Satan is vanquished and evil is defeated, then and only then will the lion and the lamb live in harmony - not as a hundred year old vampire and his wanna-be girlfriend. While Meyer's character Bella so flippantly decides that nothing is more important than spending eternity with Edward - regardless of the consequences, shouldn't we be focused on our future eternity with God and on introducing as many to Him before it is too late?
A dream about Satan's influence spreading...	[ bible1year ]	Saturday 08 November 07:55
After watching Barack Obama's 2008 Presidential Election acceptance speech, I was bothered by my attitude towards the whole thing, because I saw people who were almost worshipful towards Obama - it was as much or more admiration than we give God at church.   And I went to bed asking God to help me understand what was wrong.  And I had this dream: I saw a snake enter into a man, and that man became evil, and Satan took control of his thoughts - his mind/head seemed to appear like yellow vertical streaks. Then I saw a huge octopus whose tentacles spread through many rooms of a building or home, and the octopus was as tall as the building.  A small glowing-yellow satanic snake inched its way along the octopus' tentacles, from the right side of the house, to the left (as I faced it), and the snake approached a man lying in a bed.  The snake entered into the bottom of the man's left foot, and was headed into his body when the dream ended. I don't fully understand the dream yet, but I believe God was warning me to be careful how I thought of and viewed Obama - not to wonder at him, because Satan wants to find a way into our lives.  Don't be caught sleeping spiritually as Satan begins to inch his way across our nation.
Google stops censoring Christian ads	[ cu ]	Friday 19 September 08:56
Many people have been getting critical of Google, the dominant search engine, simply because it's so big. Others have complained that people have no privacy anymore, because Google search can reveal shocking amounts of personal information about individuals. (Which is hardly fair to Google, since it's not the only search engine in the world, just the most popular. If it wasn't around, people would still be using AltaVista or Yahoo or something.) What I haven't seen people complaining about is the potential for Google to censor the Internet, by deciding what information users may or may not see. In March, Google refused to show ads about abortion placed by the Christian Institute. (more)
Time for Revival	[ healing ]	Monday 01 September 09:25
The glory of Jesus of Nazareth was displayed in his earthly ministry when he changed water into wine. He displayed this glory and told us it was our inheritance in the kingdom of God here on earth. John 20 relates that if all of his miracles were written about that john didnt suppose the earth would be able to contain the books.... this was 3 years of miracle ministry. This is what Jesus left us.This glory. His kingdom on earth. With Pentacost came even more. Shadows healed and tongues were spoken for first time. Focus on this glory part of the Christ. Its this that will heal and do miracles. Dont strive. Just focus and accept like the shepherds... simple child like way. Its our inheritance on earth   God bless
Athanasius on the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ	[ faithandlife ]	Saturday 29 March 05:10
from Athansius, On the Incarnation of the Word of God, chapter 6 FITTING indeed, then, and wholly consonant was the death on the cross for us; and we can see how reasonable it was, and why it is that the salvation of the world could be accomplished in no other way. Even on the cross He did not hide Himself from sight; rather, He made all creation witness to the presence of its Maker. Then, having once let it be seen that it was truly dead, He did not allow that temple of His body to linger long, but forthwith on the third day raised it up, impassible and incorruptible, the pledge and token of His victory. A very strong proof of this destruction of death and its conquest by the cross is supplied by a present fact, namely this. All the disciples of Christ despise death; they take the offensive against it and, instead of fearing it, by the sign of the cross and by faith in Christ trample on it as on something dead. Before the divine sojourn of the Saviour, even the holiest of men were afraid of death, and mourned the dead as those who perish But now that the Saviour has raised His body, death is no longer terrible, but all those who believe in Christ tread it underfoot as nothing, and prefer to die rather than to deny their faith in Christ, knowing full well that when they die they do not perish, but live indeed, and become incorruptible through the resurrection. But that devil who of old wickedly exulted in death, now that the pains of death are loosed, he alone it is who remains truly dead. There is proof of this too ; for men who, before they believe in Christ, think death horrible and are afraid of it, once they are converted despise it so completely that they go eagerly to meet it, and themselves become witnesses of the Saviour’s resurrection from it. Even children hasten thus to die, and not men only, but women train themselves by bodily discipline to meet it. So weak has death become that even women, who used to be taken in by it, mock at it now as a dead thing robbed of all its strength. Death has become like a tyrant who has been completely conquered’ by the legitimate monarch; bound hand and foot the passers-by jeer at him, hitting him and abusing him, no longer afraid of his cruelty and rage, because of the king who has conquered him. So has death been conquered and branded for what it is by the Saviour on the cross. It is bound hand and foot, all who are in Christ trample it as they pass and as witnesses to Him deride it, scoffing and saying, “ O Death, where is thy victory? 0 Grave, where is thy sting?” (1 Cor. 15. 55) -------------------------------------------- Charles Scott, Pastor Church of the Good Shepherd crscott@email.com
