Strange Fire – The African Import of Charismatic Chaos – Conrad Mbewe

October 17, 2013

I listened to this message with a group of Christian friends last night. I had never heard Pastor Mbewe’s speak before. The part that I heard left the impression that the man tells it like it is. I would like to thank Narrowing path for reblogging this from The Cripplegate blog.

Strange Fire – The African Import of Charismatic Chaos – Conrad Mbewe

by Mike Riccardi

For those who are unable to view the free live stream of the Strange Fire Conference here at Grace Community Church, I thought I would do my best to provide a written summary of the various sessions as they unfold (Session One; Session Two; Session Three). I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to keep this up, or if I’ll be able to other sessions (check out Tim Challie’s blog for his coverage) But I thought a little would be better than nothing. It provides us with a helpful opportunity to interact with what is actually being said at the conference. Having said that, the following was…

Compromised Preachers Take Note!

October 13, 2013

Manny has shared a story of two folks who choose to take a stand for righteousness. Decisions like this one seem to be moving closer to Americans. In fact, they are already here. May God give us the strength to act like these two wonderful Christians…

Mannyr's avatarCracked-Pot

Here is a heart warming video about two focused Christians who have done no wrong and suffered persecution for it. This is the typical in your face attack against Christians and their faith. Please note the calm and focused responses from this beautiful couple. The interviewers tried to make the husband respond to their baiting, I love the way he responds.  The beauty from within shines forth like cracked-pots, allowing Jesus to shine from within. Bless them dear Lord.

THE THRONE OF DAVID

By Henry Morris Ph.D.

“And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.” (2 Samuel 7:16)

No other ordinary human being, not even the greatest of men, was ever given a promise like this promise to David. It can be understood, however, when one realizes that David is a type of Christ and that, in terms of His human genealogy, Christ did indeed inherit the right to David’s throne. As the angel Gabriel told Mary: “The Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever” (Luke 1:32-33). The coming Messiah is identified as this promised Son of David in the Old Testament prophecies (e.g., Isaiah 9:6-7).

HOPE

October 8, 2013

“There are many persons to be found who are bowed down with despondency of spirit, and cannot lift up themselves to enjoy a comfortable hope.  Let such take heart from the case before us; and let them also remember that the Lord does not now forget the sorrowful and broken-hearted.  We see this expressly stated in:”

Isaiah 49

 13 Shout for joy, O heavens! And rejoice, O earth!
Break forth into joyful shouting, O mountains!
For the Lord has comforted His people
And will have compassion on His afflicted.

Promise to Zion

14 But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me,
And the Lord has forgotten me.”
15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child
And have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget, but I will not forget you.
16 “Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;

PSALM 83 AND THE UPCOMING MIDDLE EAST WAR

October 5, 2013

I think Bill Salus MAY be onto something.

PSALM 83 AND THE UPCOMING MIDDLE EAST WAR

I have to admit that Prophecy in the News has some strange speakers at their prophecy conferences.  However, I’ve never seen Gary set a date and many of his guests contribute some thought-provoking ideas.

BRILLIANT BUTTERFLY FEATURE CHALLENGES DARWINIAN SELECTION

September 23, 2013

By Brian Thomas, M.S.

How do butterfly’s wings shine? Like almost all other butterflies, the Morpho has wings covered with scales. Typically, pigmentation patterns across these scales generate wing colors, but a Morpho‘s scales deploy an additional feature.

On top of their scales, Morpho butterflies have countless tiny, tree-like structures with suspended branched arms that manipulate light waves. Spacing among the branches helps match targeted light-wavelengths, like blue for example. Repeated reflections of the same wavelength cause interference effects that, when viewed from certain angles, generate stunning iridescence.

I look Up to God

September 21, 2013

Another sign of the times from Delight in Truth’s blog…

Erin Shead Assignment About God

The class assignment at Lucy Elementary in Millington, Tennessee  was to write about an idol.

Erin Shead is a 10-year-old Christian who picked God as her model and proceeded with the above project.  She wrote:

“He will always be the #1 Person I look up to”

“I look up to Him because He put me on this earth”

“I love Him, and Jesus is His earthly Son.  I also love Jesus”

Delight in Truth is very proud of this young Christian who knows correct doctrine and is not ashamed of it in a world which is unfriendly to Christians.

How unfriendly, you ask?

Her paper was rejected by the teacher. Erin was told that she is prohibited to choose God for her assignment, and to take the paper off school property.  I would not have been surprised at all if this happened in communist Romania where atheism was the law…

SUKKOT 2013

September 20, 2013

Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot)

By: David Soakell CFI UK

Throughout Israel this week, (September 19th – 25th) the people are celebrating Sukkot or The Feast of Tabernacles.  (Leviticus 23:33-43)  At its most basic level, Tabernacles is a celebration of the abundance of God’s blessings in connection with the ingathering of the Autumn Harvests.  It is also a memorial to the Exodus, when the Jews wandered in the wilderness, living in tabernacles or booths (temporary dwelling places) en-route to the Promised Land.  Could this remind us that we are also in a temporary dwelling?  In 2 Corinthians 4:18-5:2 we read, “Fix your eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.  Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling…”

Many Christians also celebrate this Feast and some believe that this is the correct time of Jesus’ birth when He came to “tabernacle among us [Immanuel].”  If so, He would have been conceived around Chanukah/Christmas [the light of the world?].  Chanukah of course means the festival of lights and Yeshua (Jesus) is the Light of the world. Add nine months from Chanukah and you will roughly come up to the Feast of Tabernacles. According to all natural laws, the Israeli’s should have perished in the wilderness, but were instead divinely protected by God. Tabernacles, is therefore a representation of faith in God’s protection and promises.

As the Nation of Israel continues to face a time of uncertainty, may we pray that the Lord would protect His people and tabernacle with them.

I would like to thank my missionary friend who is heading back to Israel for sending this to me via email.
