Yom Kippur - Day of atONEment

Yom Kippur is one of the Highest Holiest Days of the Jewish feasts, we know it as the "Day of Atonement," the ONLY day the High Priest could go behind the veil into the presence of God making intercession for the sins of  the people!  The days between "Rosh shannah" (the Feast of Trumpets / awakening conciouses towards God) and Yom Kippur, people were to examine themselves and get right with God! read more: Learn more about "Yom Kippur -Day of Atonement 

This is not just a Jewish thing, but Christians as well should know more about this day, IT IS BECAUSE OF JESUS that the veil was torn in two and we can come into the presence of a Holy God, we no longer need to sacrifice the blood of a lamb, but we do need still from time to time examine ourselves (2 Cor 13:5) whether we are in "the Faith" - bowing, surrendering to God, living godly in this present world, being fruitful, growing in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus, rooted and grounded in the Love of God, building upon the right foundation, etc!!!!
Shalom!
Maranatha!

Quran Burning?


  I feel like this whole Gainesville quran burning thing will help widen the last days gap between the "inter-faith" ecumenical Babylonian spirit church and true believers, and fuel a closer presence of coming persecution, but even a closer horizon of the Lord's return!!!  I don't agree with this guy or know too much about him, but I do know that Jesus said, "Do to others as you would have them do to you" (Luke 6:31 NIV)  We would be (atleast I hope) outraged IF people burned Holy Bibles!!!   And I'm not saying that the quran is holy, what I am saying is every human being that certain unalienable right to believe or not to believe, whether is truth or false, it's their decision,   We don't burn qurans, mosques or kill people IF they don't agree with us!   "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10 and we are suppose to be CHRIST-like, hence, CHRISTIANS!  Soon, we who are true followers of Jesus will be counted as terrorists for not being all embracing of other religions, and this incident will help to fuel that push!  Let's keep "the faith," (2 tim 4:7) preach "the Word" (2 tim 4:2)  and give the world "the Gospel" (Matt 24:14) 
Maranatha!

Got Jesus?

GOT JESUS?
I saw this bumper sticker the other day on a car….
GOT JESUS?
Though the question may be a good one,
It’s not the "REAL" Question!!!
Lot’s of people claim they "have Jesus", they "know Jesus". Just walk the streets and testify of the Gospel and sure enough they’ll tell you, "I know Jesus". It’s kind of like the American thing to say! After all, with a estimated "50 million evangelical Christians" you got to be politically correct. (NO) If you want to play games with Heaven and Hell, I wouldn’t recommend it; I rather be spiritually correct!

The question IS NOT: "GOT JESUS?"
The real question IS: "Does Jesus GOT YOU?"

Galatians 4:9
But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

Phillipians 3:12
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

1 Corinthians 8:3
But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

Do you REALLY KNOW JESUS?
I John 2:3-6
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
Titus 1:16
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
2 Corinthians 13:5
HE THAT HATH EARS TO HEAR….
LET HIM HEAR

The FaceBook and the Blog (experimental pages)

   The "Blog" and "FaceBook" pages are experimental into this world of social networking.  Because of their popularity and their ease of use in bringing everything into your world, we would like to seize its potential in communicating the Gospel to those who use these networks, as well as encourage the saved in the faith and strengthen the brethren! 
   From a Tech perspective, these 2 networks make the PODcast/RSS/XML/Atom Feeds easy to subscribe to and therefore worth experimenting with the "Blog" and "FaceBook" pages. 

****The biggest draw back about "FaceBook" so far is: 
#1 You have to be member to view our FaceBook page 
#2 You have to send a 'friend request' as well

The Dusty Bible version of the Bible?

The Dusty Bible version of the Bible?  Have you ever heard of it???
Hope you haven't, but just incase IF you have, go find it...
Someone once said: that "this Book will keep you from Sin, or SIN will keep you from this Book."
Another said:
Basic
Instructions
Before
Leaving
Earth
Yet another also said:

THE BIBLE contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you.
   It is the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass, the soldier’s sword, and the Christian’s charter. Here Paradise is restored, Heaven opened, and the gates of hell disclosed.
   CHRIST is its grand subject, our good the design, and the glory of God its end.
   It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently, and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents.


Last but NOT least, GOD said:
"....blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it." Luke 11:28 KJV
