From My Perspective - - -
Several years ago, a crusty US Senator Everett Dirksen from Illinois was known to have said: “A million here and a million there – soon we’ll be talking about real money.” One wonders what he might say if he was alive today. A Billion here and a Billion there – soon it will be a Trillion or more. In the midst of the government “bailout” (albeit they would like to use the word “rescue”), one of the benefactors of the Government’s Distribution of monies was… Continue

I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a Cashier
hand this little boy some money back.
The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.
The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't
have enough money to buy this doll.'
Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him:
''Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?''
The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't
have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.''
Then she…

Political Campaigns are too long for most people… Three of the candidates in this election cycle are United States Senators who are receiving a current salary of $169,300.00 (with a standard increase of 2.5% during January of each year). According to the Government Research Service of the Library of Congress, the following is stated: “Congress is required by Article I, Section 6, of the Constitution to determine its own pay. Prior to 1969, Congress did so… Continue

For this reason I tell you: people can be forgiven any sin and any evil thing they say; but whoever says evil things against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Many people worry about this verse. It speaks of an unpardonable sin, but for whom? This warning is actually spoken by Jesus in the context of the evil deception and eternal opposition of the demonic realm towards the true work of the Holy Spirit. Jesus seems particularly determined to reassure us of God's persevering…

Up until this current election cycle, most of us had never heard of the Political Group A.C.O.R.N. or what its mission is for a select group of people. ACORN (www.acorn.org), the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is the nation's largest community organization of low and moderate income families, working together for social justice and stronger communities. Since 1970, ACORN has grown to more than 350,000 member families, organized in… Continue

Hermeneutics

3. Learn the…

I am looking to find out more about Believers Baptism. I've read the passages in the Bible (via the net) but am still confused - as a Catholic I was raised that Baptism was a rite of initation. Now I'm learning that there is more to it. Was I wrong to believe in how I was raised? Was I wrong for having my children Baptized in the Faith? And as I look more into this, am I still honoring my father and my mother? - as I feel if I move forward that I'd be indirectly telling them that they were…

James 3
1Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.
3When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a…

If God is your source, then why are you struggling to make ends meet? He’s Jehovah Jireh, your Provider (Gen. 22:14)
The world is full of solutions like focusing on your wants and they will be attracted to you. God’s solution is very different. He says to focus on Him and then everything else will follow. He has a plan for you, and He wants you to be follow His strategy.
“Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.…

We are all born sinners. That means that we all owe God something in order to become whole. In the Old Testament He provided blessings by giving atonement for sins by the blood of an innocent, unblemished animal. This beast became the scapegoat so that they could be free to receive His blessings. Jesus came down from heaven to redeem you; to pay your sin debt once and for all. He became the scapegoat for your sins.
Jesus Christ died on the cross in order to forgive you and set you…

Teach me your ways so that I may know you and continue to find favour with you.
Exodus 33:13, NIV
Moses was probably the greatest leader of all time. His task was impossible - leading a nation of people who were unwilling to follow him and preferred to go back to Egypt. After the devastating incident of the golden calf, Moses was told to lead the people on another stage of their journey, with the promise that an angel would go ahead of them.
This wasn't the full assurance…

I WANT TO SHARE THIS WITH U: PRAYING IN THE EARLY MORNING
“I love them that love me, and those that seek me early find me.” Proverbs 8:17 (KJV)
I - INTRODUCTION
The early morning is when the dew falls, moistening and fertilizing the earth as a refreshment for the dry ground. Seeds will receive water to bloom and be fruitful. It’s the beginning of a new day that’s still quiet. All are sleeping and it is calm. The birds begin to sing, announcing that the night has…

At sometime or other we all have what can only be described as one of those days! You know - the sort of day that starts when you wake up and realise that the alarm clock hasn't gone off and you're late! In your panic you fall out of bed, trip over the slippers left at the…
