Following up part 1 and part 2 of this discussion let’s talk about Romans 13, which says to be subject to the government. It is this part of the bible that our government is pushing pastors to push on their people, and some pastors are doing it.
Here is the thing, would these pastors push people [...]

I talked before about how Ohio’s Retarded Legislators AKA You Can’t and Shouldn’t Legislate Morality. Rather than stand up to the idiot bill, our Governor, can’t wait to get rid of him, let the bill become law without signing it.
A quick recap, the so called “Christian” group, Citizens for Community Values, who act very anti-Christ [...]

Never mind the fact that Ohio has one of, if not the worst economy in the US, our legislators have what they think are far more important things to worry about. Why help Ohio’s economic problems when there are strip clubs open to all hours of the night with strippers who can get close to [...]
One has to wonder what the developer or publisher was thinking, but the new Left Behind: Eternal Forces computer game install spyware on your computer… a very anti-Christ like move… as the game watches everything you do in the game and reports it back to the ad-server, including information about you and where you live, [...]
More people continue to die because of some political cartoons about Islam and Mohammad. They are protesting, killing people, getting killed, and now are targeting the USA since we are “the leader of Europe and the leading infidel in the world.” I am not sure when we became the leader of Europe, but hey, what [...]
In another news channel, we get the story of how the U.S. military chaplains, priests and the like can not talk about Jesus, the very foundation of their faith, as they are government workers. How insane is this country getting? We have groups like the ACLU, and the Americans United for the Separation of Church [...]
Edit: I saw on CNN Headline News this morning that the Mayor of New Orleans apologized for his comments of God being mad at America and said that if he could take anything back from that speech, he would take out all his God references. He also apologized for saying the city would be “chocolate [...]

You may recall a while ago I did a Revelations From the Word on Now Faith Is…. I have some more revelation to go with that. If you didn’t see it before, the short of it is:
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 NKJV
I told what [...]

I figured I would share a little cool thing that helps explain one of the moments of Jesus’ ministry a little better.
I’ll give a little scripture, then comment as we go along.
So he came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath [...]
This speaks for itself, no commentary necessary:
Billy Graham’s daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her “How could God let something like this happen?” (regarding the attacks on Sept. 11).
Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, “I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we [...]

Speaking of things going on at the church, our ResQ teen outreach will be having XFactor, which is basically the ResQ experience turned insane. One never truly knows what will happen during XFactor. I have seen hints of some of the videos in the pipeline and the bits I saw were very funny, but I [...]
Between the ages of 19 and 29 and living in the Akron/Canton, Ohio area? I highly suggest checking out theFIX™ at Faith Family Church™ on Friday’s at 7 pm. (theFIX service will not be held 28 October due to the fact they will be volunteering at Children’s Fest down at the Canton Civic Center.) theFIX™ [...]

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 NKJV
What are things? Things are any promise of God. Be it healing, freedom from lack, even unto prosperity, that your children will know God, all the many promises of God that we have in and through Christ our Lord.
What [...]

The problem with Intelligent Design, as I see it, is more of a public perception problem.
Most people see Intelligent Design as a new name for Creationism, particurly New Earth Creationism. This is the brand of Creation normally taught in church. That the Earth is tens of thousands, to just a few million years old. That [...]

I was listening to a message by Buzzy Southerlin when he said something about the slate being wiped clean, and perhaps this is where he is going with it in this message, but I had to post this real quick so I paused the message to post this. (Edit to add: I should note that [...]

An update on The Daily Word.
I was coding things to work in such a way that on each day you would have the same thing to read each day. That is, 16 February would have the exact same readings every year. This is fine for 2005, but in a later year, the 16th may not [...]

My The Daily Word program is working! I put in a test chapter and it linked to it’s reading at the Bible Gateway. It will take a long time before I finish coding in every day’s reading… tons of coding to be done there, but I am at least on the right track and can [...]

The Daily Word program that I am working on is progressing nicely. After many hours of research, I found a way to get the calendar portion of the program to work, and to pass the date the user selected to the program, and to get the current date when the program first starts. I also [...]

Seems that some of the state legislators of Pennsylvania will introduce a bill that would remove language from the hate crimes law that was used against 5 Christians in Philadelphia for reading the Bible at an Outfest in that city. What I find amusing about the article that reports this is that when the hate [...]

The Daily Word is a new program that I will soon be developing. Presently under initial design stages, The Daily Word, will offer users which chapter(s) of the Bible they are to read from that day, deepening on which read through the Bible in a year plan they have chosen. Hopefully, The Daily Word [...]
