Joseph C. Philpot's Letter of Resignation from the Church of England in England, March 28th, 1835
2008-03-29 15:37:00
Mr. Provost, I beg leave to resign the Fellowship of Worcester College®, to which I was elected in the year 1826. This step I am compelled to take because I can no longer with a good conscience continue a Minister or a Member of the Established Church
. After great and numerous trials of mind, I am, as I trust, led by the hand of God thus to separate myself from that corrupt and worldly system, called the Church of England
. Her errors and corruptions, as well as her utter contrariety to a Gospel Church as revealed in the New Testament, have been for two or three years gradually opening upon my mind. But though I have thus slowly and by degrees obtained light from above to see the Established Church somewhat in her true colors, it is, I confess, only but very lately that the sin of r

I Wish You Jesus
2008-03-29 13:00:00
I could wish you joy and peace. To last a whole life long. I could wish you sunshine. Or a cheerful little song Or wish you all the happiness. That this life could bring. But I wish You Jesus
, more than anything. I could wish you leaves of gold. And may your path be smooth. I could wish you treasures. Or that all your dreams come true. And I could wish you paradise. That every day be spring. But I wish You Jesus, more than anything. 'Cause when I wish you Jesus, I've wished you everything.

THE FIRST HEAVEN The first "heaven" is "the physical world that all people can see" [1]; that which we know as the ATMOSPHERE, surrounding the Earth. [3|4] We read, for instance, in Genesis chapter 1 verse 20 of the "fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of HEAVEN" (AKJV). Birds fly "in heaven", but certainly not to God's Throne.

What value has Majority Opinion as opposed to Biblical Truth?
2008-03-06 07:10:00
In short, none. But be very careful that you are in fact teaching Biblical
Truth
.If what the community generally accepts had any influence on how we, as Christians, should live our lives, or what we should teach, then we have some serious considerations:Which community should that be? The eastern or the western? The catholic or the protestant?Who is right and who is wrong? Or is truth, in fact, relative, non-absolute, and ever-changing?MAJORITY OPINIONSome have suggested that we, as Christians, should abide by what is generally accepted within the Larger Religious Community. The question we are left with however, is: Which religious majority? The Catholic or the Protestant? The Church on the corner, or the big one down in Main Street?I believe that Scripture, and not Majority

Cliches 101: But, I've Grown Spiritually
2008-03-06 05:06:00
When confronted with the reality of a crooked Church, people often excuse themselves, by citing their spiritual growth.I do not, for one moment, suggest that you haven't grown. In fact, I might even agree.Randy Watters of RandyTV, for instance, grew so much spiritually (while with the Jehovah's Witnesses), that he eventually grew out of them. Steven Allan Hassan of Freedom of Mind Center, grew so much spiritually (while being Assistant Director of the Unification Church), that he grew out of them.Likewise, Richard Bennett of Berean Beacon, grew so much spiritually (while being a Roman Catholic Priest), that after 22 years he grew out of them.It's not a question of growth. It's a question of obedience."I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with t

Dearest Koos,I'm writing slowly because I know that you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left home. Your pa read in the newspaper that almost all accidents happen within 20km of home. So we moved.I can't send you the address, because the last family who lived here took the house numbers when they moved, so they wouldn't have to change their address.This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I don't know that it works so well though. Last week I put in a load of clothes and pulled the chain. We haven't seen them since.The weather isn't bad here. It rained only twice last week. The first time for four days, and the second time for three days.About the coat you wanted me to send you.

Tim LaHaye & Psychoheresy
2008-03-01 07:25:00
by Dr. Martin & Deidre Bobgan of PsyhoHeresy Awareness MinistriesOne of the most prolific promoters of the occult theory of the four temperaments is Dr. Tim LaHaye. We have confronted his work, as well as that of many others, in our book Four Temperaments, Astrology & Personality Testing. The four temperaments theory is an ancient system devised to understand human nature and improve people by dividing them according to their basic temperament. The four temperament categories are Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholy, and Phlegmatic. Each category or type is defined by a list of descriptive characteristics. Then people are assigned to one or more types by matching the person with those descriptions. As the theory has been passed down through the cen

He used to say soulshine, It's better than sunshine, It's better than moonshine, Damn sure better than rain. Hey now people don't mind, We all get this way sometime, Got to let your soul shine, shine 'till the break of day. I grew up thinkin' that I had it made, Gonna make it on my own. Life can take the strongest man, Make him feel so alone.

The gateway of life that permits one to pass through the threshold or quietly awaits time before entering. Secretive whispered words that request your permission. Early morning thoughts that refresh the mind, fill’s you with inner joy. The song of life that prepares embrace and allow you to enter day. That afternoon soul glimpse… enfolds in rich energy colors that protect and calms you. Relaxing thoughts that flows forever like a calm river, ebbing away around a smooth curve to the unknown. Then later when night claims day and the subtle darkness settle over the disappearing fading light: the
