There are many frightful things in today's society. Guns and people with guns. TV shows can be a scary thing for a parent. Commercials alone can be considered soft porn. Driving can be extremely fearful when you consider accidents and road rage. Maybe you have a certain phobia that you struggle with. As a child, the zoo was a scary place for me, even though I LOVED the zoo. I always had that lingering fear in the back of mind, "What if the lion breaks out of its cage?". I was constantly composing an escape route at every animal house, despite the fact I was completely entranced by their existence. As an adult I put those fears away...sort of :) When I discovered the truth of my sin I was no longer deceived by it (my departure from the living God Hebrews 4:13-14). When I took the cup of salvation made by the blood of Christ, I was set free, and the law of the Lord was written upon my heart. It is in this adult stage I've developed a different kind of phobia, the righte...

Jesus said it true, not speaking of Himself, but by the ordination and the power of God, He laid down His life for us. Those so those would follow Him to the cross, would in turn share the beauty of what God the Father has done for us yesterday, today and forever, in doing so saving souls from an eternal hell. Unfortunately we as a Christ-professing (as opposed to confessing) society have delivered a ministry of condemnation to an unbelieving society. Before I delve into what the Author of the Gospel portrayed as the Firstfruit of the resurrection, let me first share the words of Paul who, also is an supernatural example of the trendy term "Christ-follower". Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in st...

I was reading some news on the Internet tonight and came across this article about a blogger from Kabul, Afghanistan, who is a, lone, independent voice in the country. He blogs his thoughts and feelings about the country in spite of threats of violence. He has been even been jailed for expressing his views, his name is Nasim Fekrat. Here's an excerpt from his blog: "When I was very young I used to write a bit about the world – my world and the world around me. Then, with access to new technology and the Internet, I started to learn about many new things. Soon, I remember hearing the word ‘blog’ being used in my English class. I found the first Farsi blog service. And an old friend of mine showed me his blog. It made a big impression on me. By 2004, I was running my own satire and cartoon magazine. But it was shut down by fundamentalist Islamiists. I couldn't write using my real name anymore. For a few months, I was in trouble and had to keep moving ar...

A few years ago, I discovered a wonderful ministry by Zola Levitt, a Messianic Jew or in other words a Jewish Christian. I have been a regular reader of his free newsletters up until I moved two and half years ago. However, I frequent his website and occasionally catch the show. Zola Levitt is now with the Lord and his Savior. I miss reading his witty humor and supernatural answers in defending the faith and his beloved Israel. Reading the latest newsletter, August 2008, I found a disturbing comment in the "Ask Zola" section. Please read below... -------Start------ Takeover of Britain Continues Dear Staff, Greetings. I receive the monthly Levitt Letter in England, where it used to but no longer arrives in an envelope. Just the other day, two American-born Christians giving out literature were arrested by Muslim police. As you know, ours is daily becoming more and more like a police state. On two accounts, I have found my Levitt Letter ripped open and tampered wi...

They say hindsight is 20/20. For a Believer saved by grace, given to us by our Lord, Christ Jesus of Nazareth, our foresight should be 20/20. "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." -- 2 Corinthians 4:18 We know when all is said and done that this time, this earth we live upon, is but a blot in the face of eternity. "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens" -- 2 Corinthians 5:1 The question becomes for every single one who claims to profess Christ and Him crucified...will you be clothed? "For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked" -- 2 Corinthians 5:2-3 Truly this is a question to consider, in this ...

I'm currently working on a website and created a "video" to place on it. The slideshow is still a rough draft. I thought I'd post it here to see how it looks. It's very amateurish, but I would love to hear opinions on it. By the way, it's the first time I've attempted to create a "video". I'm having so much fun with it!   Authored by "In Spirit and In Truth"

The following "post" is a response to a comment left on my original post of " Pro-Choice ". I decided to publish the comment because it gave me an opportunity to expound further on the point of my original post. You can find the original comment at this post as well. -------------Start of Comment------------ Once again I thank you for commenting. Normally I wouldn’t publish a comment that may start a “debate” however, I decided to respond to your comment because I wanted to expound on my point of the existence of choice. It can very easy to get away from the “big picture” when the “pieces” of the big picture are taken out of context. It is in this light, many fall into the trap of “straining at a gnat and swallow a camel” instead Matthew 23:24 In stating that, my point in my post is a simple one. It is not about politics, morals or even a political candidate; it’s about the existence of choice as allowed by God and the consequences of it by we which we DO (physical...
