Dallas Willard Quote of the Day

Posted by Melody on April 30th, 2008

“Test it out: Look for a nation without Christian roots that truly supports diversity, undergirded by a sense of essential human dignity. You won’t find one.”

National Day of Prayer Dissapoints

Posted by Melody on April 26th, 2008

Sadly, the great theologian Dr. Ravi Zacharias has bowed to the pressure to leave the name of Jesus out of his official prayer for our nation. If you go to the NDP website and find the button that says, “How Prayer Works” you will find this unique explanation which also fails to mention the name of Jesus. DO NOT GIVE UP! If you click on the link at the bottom of the page you will end up here. Billy Graham is not afraid of the name of Jesus. Are you?

No Freedom of Speech in France

Posted by Melody on April 15th, 2008

Since Brigitte Bardot has been fined four times and faces possible imprisonment for statements that are deemed by the French government to “incite racial hatred”, could it happen that if Obama were elected we could loose our freedom of speech, too?  Until I read the following article, I didn’t realize that other western countries do not necessarily enjoy the same freedoms we do.

He Is Risen - He Is Risen, Indeed!

Posted by Melody on March 22nd, 2008

When I was growing up, we called Easter Sunday, “Resurrection Sunday”. I like that so much better! I feel so free knowing that I am saved by grace and kept by grace; my sins are forgiven, I’m on my way to heaven to live for eternity. I get to reign with the king over the new earth where the lion will lie down with the lamb. And I will never grow old. Yipee!

Downtime

Posted by Melody on March 22nd, 2008

It’s amazing how one’s computer can get really screwed up when one’s husband it travelling alot. I’m so used to having my snafus corrected by him that I stay out of computer trouble most of the time. No so now. I thought I lost my link to my own site which is why I have been silent for nearly a month. But I’m back now and he’s home. The fact that he is home is the best part!

Religous Left Stratagy In A Nutshell

Posted by Melody on February 24th, 2008

The new voices of the Religious Left – Rick Warren, Joel Hunter, Tony Campolo, Jim Wallis, et al – are defining down what it means to be an evangelical by making the symptoms of man’s sin (poverty, disease, etc.) a priority rather than addressing the cause of those symptoms (sin) and the cure found in the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

“The Religious Left is successfully redefining what it means to be a conservative evangelical by misrepresenting what it means to be a conservative evangelical. In a recent conference call hosted by Faith in Public Life, one of the emerging voices of the Religious Left, Dr. Joel Hunter, said: Read the rest of this entry »

God And The Scientist

Posted by Melody on February 21st, 2008

God was sitting in heaven one day when a scientist said to Him,

“God, we don’t need you anymore. Science has finally figured
out a way to create life out of nothing - in other words, we can
now do what you did in the beginning.”

“Oh, is that so? Tell Me…” replies God.

“Well,” says the scientist, “we can take dirt and form it into the
likeness of you and breathe life into it, thus creating man.”

“Well, that’s very interesting…show Me.”

So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the
soil into the shape of a man.

“No, no, no…” interrupts God, “Make your own dirt.”

Evolution Sunday - What The Scientists Think

Posted by Melody on January 28th, 2008

I heard about Evolution Sunday at church yesterday morning.  My pastor was preaching on counterfit teachers and mentioned it.  Here is an article by a scientist expressing his thoughts on the event and those participating.  And the “emerging church” thinks the world sees them as “cool”.  They have a long way to go.  Read the rest of this entry »
