Discrimination and the churches

According to the Catholic bishops of England and Wales, in giving evidence to parliament on the Equality Bill 2008-9 (see: http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/9558), "unjust discrimination is fundamentally wrong." But does this terminology not imply there might be another category of "just discrimination" which is slightly less awful, or even in some circumstances righteous?

Good Day~

1. Pray that the truth and inspiration of God's Word will be revealed for you from this passage . . . 2. Read the passage 3. "What do you NOTICE?" Read it again, and highlight what strikes you 4. If it fits, pull it apart for application.

Acts 18.23-19.7 After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out from there and traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples. Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native… Continue

Cut the Chatter

Greetings from the Reed Family,

We hope this letter finds all of you well and we trust

As many of you are aware, the past 3 years have been challenging

and yet a wonderful time of growth for our family, physically,

as well as spiritually. Since the time of my cancer treatment

in 2006, we have sought to… Continue

APPETITES (Part 1)

APPETITES/DESIRES OF THE SOUL

1. Appetite for the presence of God

This ranks above all the other desires of the soul. It is Gods desire that we come to Him for just who He is not because we want something or you want a message from him to preach. Just like David soul longed for Him. “O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;” Psalm 63:1

Do you desire… Continue

SPIRITUAL WARFARE

SPIRITUAL WARFARE

It seems that lately I have been confronted with the whole spiritual warfare issue. It was in the 1980s that there was a real push on the whole spiritual warfare issue. Every one was talking about different spirits that were afflicting people. There were deliverance ministries, and piles of deliverance books, and you felt like you were ignorant if you hadn't read the latest book. Some where along the line we all… Continue

LOVE!

WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF 'LOVE?' WHAT IS YOUR PERCEPTION? HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE 'LOVE?'

JAMIE WOULD NOT OPEN HERSELF UP TO LOVE FOR OVER A YEAR! SHE HAD ISSUES WITH 'REAL, TRUE LOVE' ABANDONNED BY HER PARENTS, SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT LOVE REALLY WAS, OR IF IT EVEN EXSISTED ANYMORE. TIA WAS VERY CONFUSED ABOUT LOVE. WAS THIS 'REAL LOVE' OR WAS IT JUST 'LUST?'

SO WE LOOKED AT SOME SCRIPTURES ABOUT GOD'S LOVE.

1 JOHN 4:16 AND WE HAVE KNOWN AND BELIEVED THE LOVE THAT GOD… Continue

Happy Independence Day

Independence Day Every Day

By Missey Butler

CBN.com - I can honestly say I never knew the real meaning of freedom. I thought I knew what it meant because I am "American made." I was born and raised in the United States of America … just like those 'amber waves of grain'. I would stand tall and proud while abiding under the mighty banner of the red, white, and blue! I loved apple pie and hot dogs. As a high school majorette, I faithfully twirled my baton in many… Continue

Want to run away and hide...HELP!!!

My husband found a great church for us to go to and it's only 30 min away from our house. The sermons are great, the worship music is most uplifting, and the day care is willing to work with our unruly son. Great right? One problem...my ex and his family go there. I have seen them but so far they haven't seen me. Church is supposed to be a time to leave your problems at the altar and I'm terrified to go up there because I don't want him to know I'm there. He knew me when I wasn't at my best and… Continue

God in a box?

Good Morning. . . Today as we study the second half of Paul's sermon, I pray that God will make his Word come alive for all of us, so that it will become alive IN all of us~

Acts 13.26-43 (NIV). Scripture is in black; the words in blue are my prayerful thoughts about Paul's powerful message to God's people.

26"Brothers, children of Abraham, and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent. Paul addresses those sitting before him in the… Continue

THE BACK BONE OF BIBLE PROPHECY

The Backbone of Bible Prophecy

Daniel 9:24-9:27

The Backbone of Bible Prophecy

Matthew 24:15; Daniel 9:24-27

Jesus tells us to turn back to Daniel, so we’d better do what we’re told! It is the skeletal structure of all prophecy, so it can be a great help in our study of the end times.

v. 24-27

The Period of Time

v. 24

70 weeks of years, not days. In the original language the word week is the word ‘seven’. The word week… Continue

Paul appeals to the Jews

Greetings, Friends~ Today, we are blessed to read Paul's first recorded sermon--what a brilliant oratorical narrative it is for us to devour! Paul was masterful in relating to the Jews in the way they would receive it, using his intellectual style of evangelism. While his sermon has similarities to the speeches of Stephen and Peter as a historical retrospective, Paul's weaving in of prophecy and its fulfillment in Jesus Christ shows that Christianity is a defensible faith. So, pray with me--… Continue

Please pray for my husband and me

My husband doesn't fully understand about my struggles with anxiety and depression. He's come across

to me as very supportive until he got very upset with me tonight saying that he's getting a lot done- more than me- that because I'm spending time with God- praying, reading Scripture, doing a Bible study, listening to Worship music. He's a believer, but I feel that God is wanting us to go much deeper with Him. I know - I have faith and hope- that I'm getting

better and I've been… Continue

Don't focus on the storm!

Many people have heard the story of Jesus walking on water. That can be found in Matthew 14:22-27:

22 Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people home. 23 After sending them home, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone. 24 Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they… Continue

The cross is heavy

The cross is too heavy

For me am really convinced

That the cross is too heavy

For me to carry

But then He thinks otherwise

And He always whisper into my ears

Don't be afriad

For I am your Helper

Your very present help

In times of need

Only exchange yours for mine

And keep your eyes on me

And the Spirit is always with you

To lead you on

Even so Lord be with us forever

Amen
