IS THE GOSPEL ILLEGAL IN AMERICA? September 8, 2011 NewsWithViews.com By Coach Dave Daubenmire I know that most of you will find this hard to believe but it is no longer unusual for Christians to be arrested for sharing the Gospel on the streets. Most of you find it hard to believe because you never do it. It is like going through the sexual assault/screening at the airport. Most folks don’t worry about it because they rarely fly. Only those who have experienced the indignity of being strip-searched or x-rayed for “security” reasons understand the humiliation. Most things don’t matter until they happen to you. That is what is going on in America. Every onc…

When it comes to petrol, you'll struggle to find many other countries with higher prices than Britain. In fact, to be precise — if you did look, you'd find two. Yes, according to stats from Car Insurer Staveley Head, the UK has the third priciest pump rates in the world, with an average price of 135p per litre. Norway's capital, Oslo, tops the rankings with an average price of 164p per litre. But which countries have the lowest prices? Here are the top ten cheapest places to buy petrol in the world... 10. Algeria: Algiers — 20p per litre Algeria is one of the Africa's biggest oil producers turning out an average of 1.2 million barrels a day. This flood of oil has pushe…

Still in love since we made friends 53 years ago at the University of Hull. I was baptised soon after I realised my conversion. Ann was invited by Christian Union friends.

Recently, when chatting with an aquaintance they mentioned that they do "fire tunnels" at their church. They were kind of surprised that we didn't do them at ours. Never heard of them before, have y'all? Anyhow, I finally found their website and discovered that they are an Independent, Fundamental, Southern Baptist Convention, Florida Baptist Convention, Pentecostal and More Light Presbyterian Church. Got that? In the past two years they've reported 35 baptisms while membership holds at about 75. Can a "pastor" wallowing in this much error really be saved himself? What can an outsider do? What should one ask the Lord's help for? What do the Scriptures say?

September 12, 2011 THE SHACK "BIBLE PROJECT" [Excerpts] In talking with people about [The Shack], I heard one thing over and over again: "Wow, THE SHACK's vision of God is awesome! Too bad it doesn't sound much like the God of the Bible..." I got tired of hearing that, so I decided to do something about it. That 'something' is The Shack Bible Project - my way of suggesting that Jesus, Papa and Sarayu are a faithful portrayal of the One whom English-language Bibles call "God." By speaking the Scriptures in the language of THE SHACK, I intend to show that the book's vision of God jives nicely with the B…

September 8, 2011 DESTIGMATIZING PEDOPHILIA Researchers push for APA to destigmatize pedophilia [Excerpts] Several well-known researchers recently made unexpected arguments on pedophilia at an academic conference in Baltimore. Liberty Counsel Action's Matt Barber attended the conference, which was sponsored by B4U-ACT, a Maryland-based organization* of psychiatric practioners seeking to eliminate what it considers "tremendous barriers" among mental health professionals, the public, and "minor-attracted individuals" (pedophiles). Barber says while at the conference he felt he was on a different plan…

The Daily News (by D. L. Moody) Excerpt from “Temptations” Preached in Chicago, 1900 Circa, 1900 Then there are the newspapers. I would not dare to ask how many of you read the newspapers. You think you must have them to find out the news. They have sermons, too; fine sermons. Some one took pains to look over seven of the New York Sunday papers awhile ago, and this is what he found in them: Murders and assaults, twelve columns. Adulteries, seven columns - [first-rate Sunday reading!] Thefts, etc., twenty-four columns. Sporting news, eighty-one columns - [splendid Sunday reading!] Theatrical notes, forty-four columns - [must have that for Sunday reading, you k…

September 9, 2011 THE RISE OF ISLAMIC "NO GO" ZONES [Excerpts] Three and a half years ago, one of the Church of England's most senior bishops, Pakistani-born Michael Nazir-Ali, warned that Islamic extremists had created "no-go"areas across Britain too dangerous for non-Muslims to enter. His politically incorrect concern sparked a firestorm of denial and criticism. Well, the evidence of how multiculturalism "has gone wrong" is in. [The week of August 28] Soeren Kern at the Hudson Institute documented the proliferation of such no-go zones throughout Europe - autonomous Islamic "microstates" under Shari…

BOLD NEW APPROACH TO FOREIGN POLICY by Beverly Eakman September 9, 2011 NewsWithViews.com ” in a Washington Times commentary. He cited various U.S. Presidents and wannabes as far back as Ronald Reagan, many of whom had no vision at all, or whose goals devolved into “nation-building.” The upshot of his musings was that “conservatives have largely avoided a real foreign policy debate for decades.” Last week (September 1), columnist Merrill Matthews asked, “ What is a conservative foreign policy? Ronald Reagan is the only President in recent times to articulate a specific vision — i.e., “challenging Soviet expansionism and restoring the strength of, and respect for, t…

A group of the IFB churches in Canada take turns hosting a National Preacher's Conference each year. It's very loose, no boards or anything -- each church that hosts it has the responsibility to develop it as they see fit. This year, my church gets to host it! It's very exciting -- it's the first time this Conference has been held west of Manitoba. Any of you who are interested are hereby invited!! The Conference will be hosted by Victory Baptist Church in Sherwood Park, Alberta. (Whether or not it will be held at VBC is yet to be determined. Our building is a little small for the expected crowd.) It runs September 19-21, 2011. The theme will be -- what else? …

I like to think that from a theological point of view and even a cultural point of view I'm rather conservative in my outlook. ('What saith the Scriptures?' is a healthy yardstick.) But what might be called hyper-conservatism is sometimes quite different in tone and content. To be honest, I must admit that I am baffled by some of the other threads which seem to be based on the premise that some cultural customs (whether about certain sports, attire, etc.) being supposedly wrong inherently, thus supposedly rendering people suspect theologically if they don't share the same vehement opposition to them. Put another way, conservatism seems to be vastly different from hyper-…

I came across this blog post today, and it really voices much of what I have been thinking. It is a challenging call to make affirmative steps to make church less segregated. It points out that most churches are the most segregated places in the United States. http://www.edstetzer.com/2011/08/race-relations-affirmative-act.html One thing that really drew me to the church I currently am a member of was the racial and socio-economic diversity of the church. There are many black people, white people, latinos, asians, etc. There are homeless people that attend every week sitting along side very wealthy bank owners and federal magistrates. It is unlike anything I have…

What has happened to the "Great" in Great Britain? Why are the riots still going on? Why are these thugs, outlaws and rebels allowed to strip people of their clothes, pull rings off citizens fingers, vandalize, loot, burn and destroy at such will? Would this have gone unchecked 200 years ago? Or even 100 years ago? The police seem impotent to do anything that needs to be done. One news report said the British police were thinking of using plastic bullets for the first time ever in such a situation but they really don't want to upset people by doing so! They also ruled out water cannons and other non-lethal means as being too offensive!! Offensive??? One of the primary…

August 17, 2011 HOW CHRISTIANS WARMED TO HARRY POTTER [Excerpts] After praising the "Harry Potter" books in 2001, author Connie Neal said that she opened her inbox to see death threats scattered among the reactions from fellow Christians. The one time the California-based writer found her book, "What's a Christian Got to Do with Harry Potter?," at a Christian bookstore, it was on the occult/New Age shelf. In its early years, "Harry Potter" was a litmus test of orthodoxy for some conservative Christians, who expressed concern over its portrayal of witchcraft. A Christian lawyer sued a public libr…

Just to clarify on the repenting God did when Israel turned from their evil ways. The thing here is that their turning from evil ways here is called... works. So since salvation isnt by works ..and turning from evils ways IS works.. hence the issue with repent meaning 'turn from sin'. So there is what I was meaning. -

Thankfully the pastors I know NEVER STOPPED preaching the gospel. Remember, TGL, they're to preach the whole counsel of God, not just salvation messages. And just to be clear, preaching messages that promote conservative, Biblical values is imperative. Maybe one should let the Holy Spirit guide in what these pastors preach, eh? -

Excellent it’s over, I noticed that many pastors were disturbed, with the elections this year, more than ever before, and they were preaching to reinforcing being a conservative, it was a priority for many preachers, but now that is all over, preaching the gospel for salvation should take its place. Thanks 🙏 You -

Well, I agree with knowing you are a sinner before salvation and by free will, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. So that's not really calvinism. -
