And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

For many are called, but few are chosen. Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. And last of all the woman died also. Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine. But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

Go within

2011-05-30T10:02:00.007-04:00

The Internet is demonstrating to us the power of feeling "linked in" to a power greater than ourselves. We may become frustrated, to the point of panic, when viruses or other malfunctions destroy this connection. Imagine that all creatures are "linked in" to the Creator by unconditional love, and that this bond is broken by the despair of our doubts and fears. Can we measure the compassion generated by unconditional love? Can we measure the despair generated by fear? We call one "good" (or God, in the primitive origin of our religions), the other "evil" (or the Devil, in our religions). They are neither. They are natural phenomena. Energy has a purpose, to keep us going. Viruses have a purpose, at times, to protect us from becoming hyper-inflated with energy, perhaps. If left alone, we might be better off for a time.

Is the Creator a "real" entity, apart from ourselves, or something within that guides us throughout our lives, when we are not overly burdened with the viruses of doubt and fear? Perhaps the Creator is both. We can prove the existence of unconditional love by the way it affects our relationships with others. Can we tap into it at any time, for answers to questions, for understanding, for advice on any subject? It's like the Internet in that regard. If we seek these things, we will find them by going within, for that is where our link with the Creator dwells. It is a birthright of every living thing at the cellular level, in our genetic inheritance. Fear is also our birthright, evidenced in the startle reflex of infants, to alert us to the unexpected, which might turn out to be dangerous to our survival.

All of this natural, part of the plan of Creation. Should we condemn fear, therefore, and try to eliminate it? or work to understand it? and employ it in ways that will benefit us, rather than suffer with it when it appears to be in overabundant supply? Fear, and the negative feelings engendered by fear, are not the enemy. Those who do "criminal acts" because of fear are motivated by a survival instinct that has been overstimulated, through training or parenting or circumstances beyond their control.

Is behavior modification, or the punishments of incarceration, enough to establish the compassion that unconditional love provides? Probably not, for there is no outward method of forcing someone to go within, where their answers lie, hidden in the genetic inheritance that we all receive, activated at the moment of birth. Proof of the God that we are told does not really exist, except in our imaginations? I challenge everyone who reads this to go within for five minutes, at the start of every day. You will receive information and guidance that will amaze you.

Knowledge and Wisdom

2011-05-16T13:00:00.026-04:00

The older I get the more I value knowledge and making wise decisions. The Bible speaks a great deal about the importance of knowledge as it relates to life and spirituality. Proverbs 2:6 , Colossians 2:2-3 , and Chronicles 1:10-12 tell us that all knowledge is from God and is important to the makeup of every Christian.

"Giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity." 2 Peter 1:5-7. By putting these things into practice we are able to better achieve our individual calling. "For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 1:8.

When we study the Bible we gain knowledge not just on our spiritual purpose in life but on everything else in this world that affects us and the people we care for. Knowledge to follow and the wisdom to lead are necessary to meet the challenges we face as Christians today.

Is God happy?

2011-04-03T23:16:00.008-04:00

This post in particular was made by another blogger, John m. Pond to be exact. I am posting it because like many people I tend to view God as a overly stern and disciplined being. I'm happy to know the Bible shows another side.

Is God happy? Reflections from "God Is The Gospel" by John Piper

In 1 Timothy 1:11 Paul focuses on the gospel as "the glory of the blessed God." The word translated "blessed" in this phrase is the same greek word used in the beatitudes of Jesus in the book of Matthew 5:3-11. It's a crazy fact that only in 1 Timothy 1:11 does the word refer to God, out of the entire Bible. Paul is making a statement about God, as he usually does in his letters. Here in 1 Timothy Paul is making the statement that God is happy, makarios.

"We may learn the phrase "the glory of the happy God" that a great part of God's glory is His happiness. It was inconceivable to the apostle Paul that God could be denied infinte joy and still be all-glorious. To be infinitely glorious was to be infinitely happy. He used the phrase, "the glory of the happy God," because it is a glorious thing for God to be as happy as He is. God's glory consist much in the fact that He is happy beyond all our imagination."

Imagine that. God is happy! Most people in this world awake to the idea every day that God is out to get them. That if they do not live a life full of good works and good deeds then God is out to get them and punish them forever. God does have a side of righteous wrath but it is not eternal for those who trust in Christ as the savior of their lives. So at the end of the day God does not have a kingdom full of worry, sadness, or regret. God knows the end and the end is completely filled with the whole earth proclaiming God is the glorious God, who else is like Him?

Carnal minded vs Spiritually minded

2011-03-28T22:32:00.003-04:00

“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”

Endure temptation and do not waver.

2011-02-16T13:05:00.003-05:00

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

- James 1:1-18

Can Man live without God lecture - by Ravi Zacharias

From the 'Can Man live without God lecture' by Ravi Zacharias at the National University of Singapore.

The four questions every man/woman must answer in life according to RZ:
1. Origin- why am I here?
2. Meaning- what brings me meaning?
3. Morality- what's right and wrong?
4. Destiny- what happens to a human being when he/she dies?

Grammy awards 2011- Switchfoot wins grammy, Lecrae.

2011-02-16T10:26:00.004-05:00

Congrats to Lecrae for his grammy nomination for best rap/rock christian album. Congrats to the David Crowder Band for their nomination, and for Switchfoot for winning (both of course are two of my favorite bands). I don't really care much for the grammy awards, and never watched, but I was surprised by the reaction of some christians upon viewing Switchfoots acceptance speech and the crowds reaction to the christian segment of the award show.

Of course the grammy audience don't care for Christian music, in fact you would wonder why they even include a best christian category if not to raise ratings. Even their choice of winner shows their partialty- I felt like DCB was more deserving of the award, the album Church music is FANTASTIC, and far more spiritually potent than Hello Hurricane was. To all the christian artists out there keep making the beautiful and relevant music that is pleasing to God and I along with many brothers and sisters will continue to support. Pleasing God with your music is FAAAAR more important than pleasing a grammy committee, but with the maturity of faith these band members have I'm sure that goes without saying.

Redemption prayer

2011-01-18T01:34:00.008-05:00

Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, and said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God. When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD. And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

NEW COACH JASON GARRET WINS 1st GAME!

2010-11-14T20:40:00.007-05:00

This is what great leadership is about!!!

The cowboys were expected to be one of the three best NFL teams at the start of the season, after finishing the 2009-2010 season with an 11-5 record and a deep playoff run. Then came the losing. The cowboys have lost 7 of their last 8 games this season. Romo got injured in game 7 and the team was lauded for simply packing it in during close games. You might remember my Cowboys win, but still no coach post last year; where I spoke on my feelings towards how the cowboys coaching situation. Well coach Wade Philips is no longer the coach of the cowboys, cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garret's got the job, and nothing could be sweeter in Dallas with todays win.

It takes great leadership to be able to inspire and motivate a talented team to reach for greatness and I think Jason (at least after this game) has proved that he is capable of such a feat. It's only one game, and only one win, but things are looking brighter in the DFW area. The future is looking mighty hopeful indeed. Lets go Cowboys!

Why burning the Quran on 9/11 is wrong

2010-09-07T10:07:00.006-04:00

I agree. This video is of course a response to Terry Jones (of Dove Outreach church in Florida) from a couple of months ago. I personally think that this is just a bunch of propaganda to change the image of Christianity to something more extremist. These so called 'Bible believing' extremists should get no public attention whatsoever.

Burning the Quran sounds a lot to me like something an muslim extremist would do to the Holy Bible but that violent act does not belong in the Christian modus operandi.

So when men are called by grace

2010-08-17T12:51:00.003-04:00

...so when men are called by grace, and converted, they come out of a country, this world, which is a land of sin and iniquity, of great folly and ignorance, of darkness, and of the shadow of death; a desert, a mere wilderness; a country where Satan reigns, full of wicked and ungodly men; and which is the land of their nativity, as to their first birth: and they may be said to come out of it, not in a natural and civil sense, but in a spiritual one; and it is the character of a converted man, or one that is come out of the world, and is separated from it, to be unmindful of it; not so as not to consider from whence he came out, as owing to rich grace; nor so as not to lament the iniquities of it; nor so as not to pray for the conversion of the inhabitants of it; but he is unmindful of it, so as to be desirous of the company of the men of it, or to have the affections set upon it, and the heart tickled with the pleasures of it, or so as to desire to return to it, for which there is a great deal of reason: for this country is not worth minding; and there is much in it to set a gracious mind against it; a good man has better things to mind; and it is below, and unworthy of a Christian, to mind the world; and besides, worldly mindedness is attended with bad consequences. Moreover, though the saints have opportunities of returning, yet they do not; they are near it, and the country they are seeking is afar off: many things in it are alluring and ensnaring; a corrupt and deceitful heart often lingers after them, and Satan is not wanting to tempt unto, and by them. And yet they do not return; some that bear the name of Christians, but are not truly such, may wholly return, and never come back more; and true believers may strangely go back again in some instances; but they shall not return finally and totally: for they are held and drawn with the cords of love; they are in the hands of Christ, and are secured in the covenant of grace; they are returned to Christ, in the effectual calling, who will keep them; they are of the household of God, and shall be no more foreigners; should they return in such sense, they would be condemned with the world, which cannot be.~John Gill on Hebrews 11:15

Excellent post, I must say.

An answer to anger and doubt.

2010-08-17T00:53:00.013-04:00

Boy, sometimes I wish G-d weren't so invisible. That he were available to me in flesh and bone at any time of day. I have questions I need answered but no available response seems to satisfy. I’ve experienced enough of G-d in my personal life to justify my faith, so why do I feel so disconnected? I can’t go back to the way I used to live, but at the same time I wish I could experience God in such a way that my questions would just melt away. At my darkest hour it was interesting to me to think that God will exist and continue to exist whether or not I chose to follow him. God is not confined to my emotional state. He doesn't leave when I'm fighting my demons and show up after I'm done figuring things out. He is always present.

The following verse gave me a better perspective on my trial. My faith in Christ is cemented in the hope that there is much more meaning in this life than meets the eye.

Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! But when full understanding comes, these partial things will become useless.
When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. 1 Corinthians 13:9-12, NLT

New Jerusalem

2010-07-23T19:18:00.004-04:00

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Wow.

For those who don't know who Jin is, he was a contestant on BET's 106 and park Freestyle Friday in 2007. He won the whole thing and immediately created a lot of buzz. He went on to sign with a music label, release 2 music videos, and an album. He was even in the movie 2 fast 2 furious.

For more on Jin check out his wikepedia page, and youtube for several of his freestyle raps.

I'm definetely happy to see the change in Jin. Saving souls never goes out of style.

INCEPTION (2 of 2)

2010-07-18T12:46:00.003-04:00

Manipulation of the mind is near impossible if the observer is aware that the manipulation is taking place.

"Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one" (quote, Warner Bros. summary of Inception). Ironically while you are watching this great 'impossible' crime taking place on screen you yourself, the viewer, are getting an idea implanted into your subconscious - Suicide is good.

Do not watch this movie without being aware that it is an attempt to do just what it claims to be exploring. Inception is a very wicked and cruel movie, especially for a young impressionable teenage generation, an R rating would have been more appropriate.

I am Second - Christine Petric

2010-07-16T19:19:00.007-04:00

When Jesus commanded us to love one another I don't think he meant for us to be selective in the ones we loved. I don't think he meant for us to be judgemental either, but it seems the modern day Christian is a mix of both, at least that's what I get when I listen to people like Bill O'reily - I say Bill O'reily because he claims to be a Christian or more precisely, a Roman Catholic. We are called to be more like Christ, not to like ourselves more. Judging others based on race or social status is wrong, and it is most certainly not a Christian virtue, but more of a conceited me-first wordly mindset completely devoid of the Spirit.

"As a man thinketh in his heart so is he," not only embraces the whole of a man's being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts - James Allen

Yes, there is a Bible verse that says "as a man thinketh" but what then does a man do when all he is fostered to think from birth is cyclical hopelessness and blaring prejudice?

I refuse to believe that a poor African American male is nothing more than a host of negative stereotypes. I love Christines I.A.S segment because her boyfriends' parents reaction could have come from any typical 'Christian' family. Why is that? I would argue that the Holy Spirit could not reside in a person who vehemently defends his right to judge the poor and the stranger. Would I be wrong? There's a reason generations upon generations of black youth live like they do, and no, it's not inborn.

"He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace." Proverbs 11:12

Put yourselves in their shoes, or perhaps just objectively question why things are as they are.

"You should have work by now - you made wrong choices - you're worthless" - This is the condemning mindset of one who rests his conscience on the twisting of the Proverbs 23:7 verse. Surely none of Americas current unemployed deserve this type of treatment, or are there exceptions?

We are to love our neighbours (that means everyone), to be as light to the world, to shock people with the spirit that lives in us. Because he first loved us.

INCEPTION (1 of 2)

2010-07-14T23:54:00.010-04:00

I must see this movie.

I fully expect to see and hear a few things I don't agree with but the trailers are so freaking cool. I mean listen to the score, wow, it almost beats Gatorades 2009 G! anthem:

I mean try being at a football game with one of your favorite teams down 4 points, just minutes left on the clock, 4th quarter, and Brett favre's playing offense in the red zone against the New York Giants, tell me WHO wouldn't get pumped when this song starts playing? I know! Nobody. This song moves stadiums, and the inception score is almost as sweet.

Speaking of Chris Nolan (see what I did there?) check out this parody of the inception score using another Chris nolan work - his present masterpiece "The Dark Knight".

Mind blown? Oh yeah and that's me @ 0:35.

I'll probably post a review or something after I see the movie, or say a few words on it. I absolutely can't believe it's a PG-13 movie, so bravo Nolan. If YOU do see this movie be cautious of subliminal messaging, much like the Dark knight did by infering that spying on masses of people could be a good (no, great) thing if it resulted in the catching of a known terrorist. Come on hollywood, try harder.

I used to be really heavy into collecting basketball sneakers (among other things) so when I saw AndretheCoolkiddd (a known sneaker video blogger) had a new video up I was really excited to check it out. This is the video he posted on his youtube page after 4 months of inactivity. Pardon the music, I used to listen to way worse.

My one prayer is that he finds Christ like I did during a really difficult time in my life, but I can't even imagine what he's going through. I sent him a message that I hope gives him some cheer and a boost, and I know you guys can too. If you're reading this please go to this guys page (here) and shower LOTS and LOTS of love on him, also please keep him in your prayers.

The Leading of the Holy Spirit in Fighting Sin- Benjamin B. Warfield

2010-07-09T00:18:00.004-04:00

Please look below for a link to the full and complete original article of this B.B Warfield work available online.

There is certainly abundant reason why we should seek to learn what the Scriptures mean by "spiritual leading." There are few subjects so intimately related to the Christian life, of which Christians appear to have formed, in general, conceptions so inadequate, where they are not even positively erroneous. The sober-minded seem often to look upon it as a mystery into which it would be well not to inquire too closely. And we can scarcely expect those who are not gifted with sobriety to guide us in such a matter into the pure truth of God.
…..
It is surely enough, however, to recall us to a careful searching of Scripture in order to learn what it is to be led by the Spirit of God, simply to read the solemn words of our text: "As many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." If the case be so, surely it behooves all who would fain believe themselves to be God's children to know what the leading of the Spirit is.
….
It is not the reward of special spiritual attainment; it is the condition of all spiritual attainment. In its absence, we should remain hopelessly the children of the devil; by its presence alone are we constituted the children of God. It is only because of the Spirit of God shed abroad in our hearts that we are able to cry, "Abba, Father" (Rom. 8:15).
…..
The regenerated soul will never abide the remnants of sin that vex his members, but will have no rest until he eradicates them to the last shred. But these victories of our nobler selves—natural or gracious—over what is unworthy within us, do not so much constitute the essence of spiritual leading as they are to be counted among its fruits. Spiritual leading itself is not a leading of ourselves by ourselves, but a leading of us by the Holy Ghost.

Evidence for/against God Debate: William Lane Craig vs Dr. Peter Atkins

2010-07-05T23:44:00.020-04:00

The Faith and Science Lecture Forum in April 1998 hosted a debate between Christian philosopher William Lane Craig and Oxford University’s Peter Atkins, a professor of chemistry and an outspoken atheist. The moderator was William F. Buckley.

The debate, “What Is the Evidence for/against the Existence of God,” drew an overflow crowd at The Carter Center in Atlanta and was broadcast live to 10,000 people in universities and colleges in the US

- sited from RZIM

You can find this video available on DVD at William Craig's website Reasonablefaith.org and RZIM.ORG (the Ravi Zacharias International ministries website), as well as many other Chrisitian apologetics media. You will also find a link to the RZIM website in my links section.

I was lucky enough to find the entire video freely available online but will not hesitate to support and acquire more media for myself in the near future.

I thought the debate was great. I laughed at several parts because Mr. Atkins had no leg to stand on much of the time, and when it came to the story of Jesus he (like most athiests) prefered to duck and weave. Ironically the more I have explored the athiestic position the more I'm convinced that it takes real faith (or at least hatred) to be an athiest.

Athiest's don't like the idea of God much of the time because they dislike the Bibles interpretation of beginnings, but will never admit to the fact that science has not and CAN NOT explain many important aspects of life including the spirit world and the after life (among many other things). There is so much evidence apparent in science, history, and todays world events that blind faith simply can't be an excuse for an athiest not to become a believer. Just seek God and he will do the rest, I am proof of that.

The question asked in order to save her life or take it
The answer no avoided death and yes would make it

Do you believe in God?'
Written on a bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
And my Sister Cassie pulled it

They didn't love their lives so much
As to shrink from death
Inspired in their footsteps
We will march ahead
Don't be shocked that people die
Be surprised you're still alive

All heads are bowed in silent reverence
The floor is wet with tears of sorrowful remembrance
The alter is filled with hearts of repentance
Perfect love kills all fear, rejoice in this deliverance

They didn't love their live so much
As to shrink from death
Inspired in their footsteps
We will march ahead
Don't be shocked that people die
Be surprised you're still alive

Worship: Does God need it?

2010-06-28T18:40:00.007-04:00

Athiests would argue that God is a egotistical and conceited father who craves worship. The Bible tells us that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is self sufficient, there is nothing we can give him that he hasn't already given us. Giving God our worship makes the best sense as a way for us to keep our focus on God and his grace.

The point is to keep GOD humbly, truthfully, fearfully FIRST. Sing when no one else knows you are (but him).

Wise unto salvation

2010-06-28T12:06:00.003-04:00

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Dead to Sin

2010-06-14T00:57:00.003-04:00

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

DEBATE: Did Jesus rise from the dead?

2010-06-07T16:59:00.003-04:00

Mr. Nabeel Qureshi in his rebuttal says he will not answer Osama’s mutilation of the text, but here I will do my best to answer most of the pertinent accusations made during Osama’s opening statement against the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Osama Abdallah in his opening statement has taken the wording of ‘wounded’ and placed the fulfilment of this prophecy at a different time in Jesus’ suffering. Isaiah 53:5-6 tells us that the messiah would be wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquity, and was Jesus not? When Pontios Pilate ordered for Jesus to be beaten to appease the crowd that was in fact the fulfilment of prophecy (John 19:1-4). The following Old Testament verse Isaiah 53:7 says that the messiah would not open his mouth and Mr. Abdallah claims Jesus broke that prophecy by calling out to God (the father) on the cross. Mr. Abdallah is again taking the fulfilment of prophecy out of context. We have established that the messiah would be wounded and he was, then he would be silent like a lamb before the slaughter and he was silent (Mark 15:2-5, Luke 23:8-10, John 19:7-11). Mr. Adallah claims Jesus was not buried with the Rich, but Joseph of Arimathea (the man who buried Jesus) was a counsellor who in those days was well to do (Luke 23:50). During the times of the Romans criminals who were crucified were left to decay on the cross, if not for joseph asking to have Jesus buried he would have died like every other poor ‘criminial’. I will say though that Mr. Abdallah is right when he says one of these books has to be a lie, I wonder which book fits that mold, the Bible or the Quran.

Osama in his rebuttal references a Roman Catholic book to make a claim that the Bible might have been tampered with (or in his words altered). Let it be known that Roman Catholicism is a heretic religion and is not based on true Christianity, so that being said I ‘think’ Mr. Abdallah’s argument carries no weight. Most of the things said during Osama’s last rebuttal (especially concerning Jesus being influenced by Satan) is simply nuts, so I’ll leave no comment on that. The subject of the debate is whether or not Jesus resurrected but Mr. Abdallah instead goes completely off topic in a panic and refused to challenge the truth of the crucifixion. Even during his conclusion Mr. Abdallah refused to discuss the topic and sounded like he was just grasping for straws all over the place. Interesting video none the less.

Witnessing to a Jehovahs witness

2010-04-05T13:06:00.009-04:00

This is an older video that I stumbled on when going through my youtube favorites, I just had to put up on my blog. Blair Wingo (great saved poet) from P4CM is the one giving you the truth! lol. I run by a lot of Jehovah's witnesses where I work but as of yet have never had a serious discussion with them about their beliefs. But I will one of these days, after I gather a little more information that can be used for the sake of argument and clarity. For example I would love to be able to point out past prophecies that came out of the jehovahs witness camp that have never come to pass, then take them to the deuteronomy verse Blair spoke on.

Everything would have to be done in love and not losing sight of the truth in G-d. Anyway it's a great video and worth the post.

Por la via dolorosa

2010-04-05T00:35:00.005-04:00

Down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street
But the crowd pressed in to see
The Man condemned to die on Calvary

He was bleeding from a beating, there were stripes upon His back
And He wore a crown of thorns upon His head
And He bore with every step
The scorn of those who cried out for His death

Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King,
But He chose to walk that road out of
His love for you and me.
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.

Por la Via Dolorosa, triste dia en Jerusalem
Los saldados le abrian paso a Jesus
Mas la gente se acercaba
Para ver al que llevaba aquella cruz

Por la Via Dolorosa, que es la via del dolor
Como oveja vino Cristo, Rey, Senor
Y fue El quien quiso ir por su amor por ti y por mi
Por la Via Dolorosa al Calvario y a morir

The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men
Made its way to the heart of Jerusalem.

Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King
But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.
