What Nacho Libre and John the Baptist Have in Common

WHAT NACHO LIBRE AND JOHN THE BAPTIST HAVE IN COMMON

Ignacio: I'm a little concerned right now. About ... your salvation and stuff. How come you have not been baptized?

Steven: Because I never got around to it ok? I dunno why you always have to be judging me because I only believe in science.

- Nacho Libre (2006)

Who should baptize? How quickly should baptism take place after conversion? And where should baptism take place? These are the questions I… Continue

SPIRITUALITY - PLAYING CHURCH

When our daughters were young they often liked to play “church”. It was interesting how they concluded which role each of them would hold. I don’t recall there ever being any prayers said to guide them in their determinations. Instead, the decisions were made according to perceived abilities.…

Campaigning For Clarity

Campaigning For Clarity

It would be such a blessing if we would all strive to be a little more careful about our writing by making fewer mistakes. When so many words are misspelled or left out, it is difficult to fully understand what is being said. Just take a minute and double check. It's worth the effort, causes you to be taken more seriously, and allows God to be glorified through His children. Going higher...

Walking "in them".

My life verse is Ephesians 2:10. I'm coming to sort of think of it as the bread of an Ephesians 2:8-9 sandwich. Since it begins with "for" or "because" it must be the reason or rationale for the arguments made in the preceding statements.

The Ephesians 2:8-9 arguments are that God's grace…

THE CLOTHING OF THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

“’Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.

Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.’ (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of

the saints.)” Rev. 19:7-8…

SPIRITUALITY - HE WILL LOVE YOU!

It breaks my heart every time I hear someone conclude that they feel as though they have messed-up so badly that Jesus could never forgive them. Psalm 103:3 says, “He forgives all your sins”! There are no exceptions! Jesus will never turn away a truly repentant heart. Psalm 103:4 goes on to say that Jesus “redeems your life from the pit.” It doesn’t matter how far you have…

Times of Prayer 58

Times of Prayer 58

Over the last few weeks I continued to have a vision of a hand being rubber as if it was removing dust or dirt from it. So often we only think of a hand providing or the hand of benevolence. Being spiritually minded will cause the mature to think of on how adjustments can be made.

1 Kings 18:44

"There is a cloud, as small as a man's hand, rising out of the sea!

When you take a stand for righteousness and promote truth there is no denying that you… Continue

Times of Prayer

Time of Prayer 57

Our apostolic resource centre and forum meet every Tuesday and Thursday for a time of dialogue and for us to be mentored under the word of God. Every session is challenging and life changing but there are times when I hear the piercing of God’s word in a greater dimension and I cannot take any notes but sit in quietness and allow for the Holy Spirit to minister to me. There are times when there is a weeping inside of me, not out of emotion but more out of repentance… Continue

STEWARDHSIP - MAKING NON-TOXIC LAUNDRY DETERGENT

Fragrances, phosphates, chlorines and petroleums in most laundry detergents have adverse effects on the environment and on our health. Even for careful label readers, choosing non-toxic products can be tricky.…

blessing of change

Shalom,
life is a journey of movement adjustment and change
in order to be conformed to the image of Christ
to become like him we must recognized
that intimacy is the order of the day
personal encounter with the father
and knowing him intimately
is the desire of our loving God our father
until Christ is revealed (formed) in us
it is written we shall not all sleep
but we shall all be change,
Selah,

Frustrated!

My wife lost her brother to Alzheimer's a few weeks ago. One of her sisters-in-law and one of her brothers-in-law seem to be losing their battles with cancer. My brother may lose his house. A man in our fellowship is suffering from seizures and facing brain surgery to remove damaged parts of his brain. I had a long talk today with a man I used to consider a best friend. We tried to discuss why that has slipped away and I am not sure how that went. The 17 year old son of the Best Man at our…

A wing starting to develop.

Although I admit to stumbling, Last night was the begginning of a new chapter in my walk. I realize that in reflection that it is important to connect, and to put love out there. Last night theology was put aside for love based conversation between brothers and sisters. I realize in reflection it needs to be Christ speaking through us so that we see Christ in each other. One brother in particular spoke that he was in everyone in the room and I hadnt thought of that. Makes me feel less like…
