Cute: Two Year Old Girl Sings Lord’s Prayer

Thursday, May 29th, 2008 by posted in Funny Stuff | Comments Off

My wife came across this cute video of a Korean toddler saying (singing) the Lord's Prayer. You know, "Our Father, which art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name..." I remember reciting this every church service I attended as a kid, but at only 2 years and 8 months, being able to not only remember the Lord's Prayer but sing it as Zoei Toh does is pretty amazing. With no further ado, here is Zoei. Enjoy!

Jesus Fulfilling Old Testament Prophecies

Monday, May 26th, 2008 by posted in Bible & Scripture | 3 Comments »

I'm not sure exactly how many prophecies Jesus fulfilled during His life, death and resurrection but most theologians place it above 400. The Book of Matthew does the best job correlating Old Testament prophecy with Jesus' fulfillment of them. Let's examine what some of those are.

How the Old Testament Isaac Is a Type of Jesus

Monday, May 26th, 2008 by posted in Bible & Scripture | 3 Comments »

Isaac of the Old Testament and Jesus Himself hold many similar characteristics. If you recall, Isaac was the promised son of Abraham that God had given him and his wife Sarah in their old age. From Isaac would be born Jacob and from Jacob, twelve sons who would become the the twelve tribes of the nation of Israel. Just as Isaac was the beginning of a people that God would call His own, Jesus was ...

Two New Zealand pilots ran out of fuel in the microlight airplane they were flying, so they did the only thing they could do at the time - pray. Immediately after, they were then able to make an emergency landing in a field -- coming to rest right next to a sign reading, "Jesus is Lord." Miracle or simply coincidence? Grant Stubbs and Owen Wilson, both from the town of Blenheim on the country's South ...

Lillian Ladele, a Christian registrar at Islington Council in north London, was threatened with the loss of her job after refusing to carry out what she considers “sinful” homosexual marriages. The incident occurred after she had asked to be excused from conducting civil partnerships for gay men and women because of her deeply-held religious beliefs.

Looking at Galatians 5:22-23, this message examines the fruit of goodness and faithfulness. Living a life of goodness and faithfulness is the result of living a truth centered life. To live a truth centered life is to live a life in fellowship with Jesus Christ, who is the truth. In this message, Pastor, Ray Davis looks at the following aspects of goodness/faithfulness: What is a truth-centered life? What is the opposite? What is the counterfeit? How do it get it ...

California 2nd U.S. State To Approve Gay Marriages

Thursday, May 15th, 2008 by posted in World News | Comments Off

From The Christian Post, California's Supreme Court ruled 4-3 Thursday morning to join Massachusetts as the second state to recognize same-sex “marriage.” In the court’s opinion, Chief Justice Ron George ruled that the ban on same-sex “marriage” was “discriminatory” and that “domestic partnerships are not a good enough substitute for marriage.” While it may appear to be a victory for gay rights advocates, it demonstrates that our nation has taken one more step away from ...

A 92-year-old woman from Dyersburg, Tennessee recently turned an attempted robbery into an opportunity to minister to the would-be robber.

GodTube Raises $30 Million

Monday, May 5th, 2008 by posted in Entertainment & Arts | Comments Off

Mashable reports that GodTube, a faith-based YouTube of sorts, has raised $30 million at a $150 million valuation. The funding comes from GLG Partners, a hedge fund. It is not GodTube's technology that sets it apart but rather that the service caters to a very specific yet huge audience. Christian television is enormous in the US, and GodTube has been able to capitalize on people’s desire for religious programming by taking the proven concept of video ...

Bad Commercials

Thursday, May 1st, 2008 by posted in Funny Stuff | Comments Off

We've all seen them on TV or during the previews at the movies. Visually, there is a major disconnect between the visual aids and the message or the marketing department must have just experienced major cutbacks, because what was once supposed to be funny is now downright offensive. This is TV. So how bad does a commercial have to be to be a "bad commercial" on the radio? Yesterday I found myself listening ...
