I finally went to see Courageous just over a week ago with my husband and I think it's a really good film. I was very touched and blessed by the film for its message. There are multiple elements to the film that a person can enjoy: good message, faith, struggles, humor, etc. The DVD/Blu-Ray is supposed to come out in January. I highly recommend the film.

When should we speak up about origins?
Speaking Up or Keeping Silent in Science Class
Strengthening Your Faith in College, Part 5
by Karin Viet, AiG–U.S.
November 15, 2011
First of all, it is important to remember this biblical principle:
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven . . . a time to keep silence, and a time to speak. (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7)
Matthew Henry commented that there is “a time when it becomes us, and is our wisdom and duty, to keep silence, when it is an evil time (Amos 5:13), when our speaking would be the casting of pearl before swine, or when we are in danger of speaking amiss (Psalm 39:2); but there is also a time to speak for the glory of God and the edification of others, when silence would be the betraying of a righteous cause, and when with the mouth confession is to be made to salvation; and it is a great part of Christian prudence to know when to speak and when to hold our peace.”
Scripture clearly states that at certain times silence is a virtue. Yet at other times remaining silent is wrong, cowardly, and traitorous. The question for many creationists is: how can we know when to “keep silence” and when to speak? While the Bible doesn’t offer a specific answer for each particular situation, it does give principles that can help you evaluate each situation you face.
Continue reading to learn some guidelines that will help you wisely assess not only when, but also how to speak up about the topic of creation vs. evolution.

Voice of the Martyrs Prayer Update for week of Nov. 18, 2011
The Voice of the Martyrs USA: www.persecution.com
“All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flowers falls away, But the word of the Lord endures forever.” 1 Peter 1:24–25
India—Ten Christians Attacked and Arrested in Karnataka State
Source: VOM Contacts
Luke 12:50–52
But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished! Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three.
Activists from a Hindu-nationalist movement attacked members of two Christian communities on Nov. 12 and 13 in Karnataka state, accusing them of forced conversions. Ten Bajrang Dal activists stormed into Pastor H. S. Nagaraj’s Sunday service on Nov. 13, interrupting prayer and tearing a Bible to pieces. When local police arrived, they arrested the pastor and three church members. The men are still in prison. On the previous day, six believers were waiting at the Belur bus station after a prayer service when activists from the same group surrounded them and began beating and insulting them. The activists then took the six Christians to the police station, where they were arrested. Three women and a child were later released, but the two men remain in prison. There have been 40 incidents of violence against Christians in Karnataka this year. Pray that our partners will be able to help these believers and that the charges will be dropped. Pray for all Christians in India who face similar circumstances, especially in the six states that have “anti-conversion” laws.
Nigeria—Two Deadly Days for Nigerian Christians
Source: Compass Direct News
John 16:33
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will[a] have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
Christians in northern Nigeria have been besieged by a string of recent attacks, some by the al-Qaida-affiliated Boko Haram extremist group. In the most recent incident, on Nov. 4, extremists stormed the city of Damaturu, Yobe state. One hundred fifty people were killed in the four-hour rampage — 130 of them Christians. Ten church buildings were also destroyed in the attacks, and churches that remained in operation saw a dramatic fall in attendance. On the previous day, bomb blasts in nearby Borno state killed four people. And on the same day in Kaduna state, Muslim extremists fired on a church service, killing two Christian women. The same gang raided the Christian community of Kurmin-Bi on Nov. 4, killing one Christian and injuring another. The extremists employed guerrilla tactics, striking and withdrawing, then striking elsewhere while military personnel respond to the first attack. Pray that Christians in Nigeria will know how to lovingly engage their persecutors and that the extremists will come to know the peace of Jesus Christ.
SRI LANKA—Brutal Attack on Christian Workers
Source: Release International, National Christian Evangelical Alliance of Sri Lanka
Romans 16:19
For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil.
The National Christian Evangelical Alliance of Sri Lanka (NCEASL) reports that a staff member and volunteer were attacked by a gang and badly injured last month in the town of Vavuniya in Northern Province. The men were driving through town on their motorbike on the evening of Oct. 19, when they were stopped by about 12 people at a junction. The gang beat them so severely with rods and clubs that a helmet worn by one of the Christian workers was shattered. One believer suffered injuries to his head and arm, while the other suffered a broken right arm and injuries to his head and body. One of the two managed to break free and alert the police, but the gang fled before police arrived. The NCEASL workers were initially taken to a hospital in Vavuniya but were later transferred to Colombo for further treatment. The motive for the attack is uncertain, and locals say this is just the latest in a string of violent attacks on citizens in Vavuniya. Pray that the two will heal quickly and be able to return to their work.

Veterans Day 2011 - Freedom Isn't Free
For this Veterans Day, I want to share with everyone this awesome video I found in the public domain. It does a fantastic job of illustrating the debt of gratitude that we owe to those who have worn our Country's uniform in the past, and to those who wear it today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2RwRi2TjA0
Thank you to all of the veterans for yourselves and all that you have done. You have given us so much. Praise Him. God bless. :)

Thou Shalt Not ____. What Again?
Actual Video Title: Celebrities Dish on What They Covet
Actual Video Description: Sure, they sort of have it all, but celebrities always want something more -- from a Spanish shoe to the perfect pair of plaid pants. (Nov. 7)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb0hG-KuU20
I found this video very odd. The question to celebrities asked is, "What are you coveting right now?" What an odd question to ask. Normally, they would ask, "What do you want?" or "What are you dying to have?" Not, "What are you coveting?" I immediately recalled Scripture as soon as I heard the term "covet." What does "covet" mean? According to Dictionary.com it means: "1. to desire wrongfully, inordinately, or without due regard for the rights of others: to covet another's property.
2. to wish for, especially eagerly: He won the prize they all coveted." Also, "to wish, long, or crave for (something, esp the property of another person)
[C13: from Old French coveitier, from coveitié eager desire, ultimately from Latin cupiditā cupidity]" What does cupidity mean? It means, "eager or excessive desire, especially to possess something; greed; avarice."
Exodus 20:17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

Jeremiah 17:7-8 "“But those who trust in the LORD will be blessed. They know that the LORD will do what He says. They will be strong like trees planted near a stream that send out roots to the water. They have nothing to fear when the days get hot. Their leaves are always green. They never worry, even in a year that has no rain. They always produce fruit." (ERV)

Matthew 6:25-34 (MSG):
25-26"If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don't fuss about what's on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds.
27-29"Has anyone by fussing in front of the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch? All this time and money wasted on fashion—do you think it makes that much difference? Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them.
30-33"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
34"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.
Proverbs 3 (ERV):
The Blessing of Wisdom 1 My son, don’t forget my teaching. Remember what I tell you to do. 2 What I teach will give you a good, long life, and all will go well for you.
3 Don’t ever let love and loyalty leave you. Tie them around your neck, and write them on your heart. 4 Then God will be pleased and think well of you and so will everyone else.
5 Trust the LORD completely, and don’t depend on your own knowledge. 6 With every step you take, think about what he wants, and he will help you go the right way. 7 Don’t trust in your own wisdom, but fear and respect the LORD and stay away from evil. 8 If you do this, it will be like a refreshing drink and medicine for your body.
9 Honor the LORD with your wealth and the first part of your harvest. 10 Then your barns will be full of grain, and your barrels will be overflowing with wine.
11 My son, don’t reject the LORD’S discipline, and don’t be angry when he corrects you. 12 The LORD corrects the one he loves, just as a father corrects a child he cares about.
13 Those who find wisdom are fortunate; they will be blessed when they gain understanding. 14 Profit that comes from wisdom is better than silver and even the finest gold. 15 Wisdom is worth more than fine jewels. Nothing you desire has more value.
16 With her right hand, Wisdom offers long life—with the other hand, riches and honor. 17 Wisdom will lead you to a life of joy and peace. 18 Wisdom is like a life-giving tree to those who hold on to her; she is a blessing to those who keep her close.
19 With wisdom and understanding, the LORD created the earth and sky. 20 With his knowledge, he made the oceans and the clouds that produce rain.
21 My son, don’t ever let wisdom out of your sight. Hold on to wisdom and careful planning. 22 They will bring you a long life filled with honor. 23 As you go through life, you will always be safe and never fall. 24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid. When you rest, your sleep will be peaceful. 25 You have no reason to fear a sudden disaster or the destruction that comes to the wicked. 26 You can trust the LORD to protect you. He will not let you fall into harm.
27 Do everything you possibly can for those who need help. 28 If your neighbor needs something you have, don’t say, “Come back tomorrow.” Give it to him immediately.
29 Don’t make plans to harm your neighbor, who lives near you and trusts you. [a]
30 Don’t take people to court without good reason, especially when they have done nothing to harm you.
31 Don’t envy those who are violent. Never choose to be like them. 32 Such crooked people are disgusting to the LORD. But he is a friend to those who are good and honest.
33 The LORD curses a wicked family, but he blesses the homes of those who live right.
34 He will humiliate those who make fun of others, but he is kind to those who are humble.
35 The way the wise live will bring them honor, but the way fools live will bring them shame.

Hold on to wisdom and careful planning. 22 They will bring you a long life filled with honor. 23 As you go through life, you will always be safe and never fall. 24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid. When you rest, your sleep will be peaceful. 25 You have no reason to fear a sudden disaster or the destruction that comes to the wicked. 26 You can trust the LORD to protect you. He will not let you fall into harm.
27 Do everything you possibly can for those who need help. 28 If your neighbor needs something you have, don’t say, “Come back tomorrow.” Give it to him immediately.
29 Don’t make plans to harm your neighbor, who lives near you and trusts you. [a]
30 Don’t take people to court without good reason, especially when they have done nothing to harm you.
31 Don’t envy those who are violent. Never choose to be like them. 32 Such crooked people are disgusting to the LORD. But he is a friend to those who are good and honest.
33 The LORD curses a wicked family, but he blesses the homes of those who live right.
34 He will humiliate those who make fun of others, but he is kind to those who are humble.
35 The way the wise live will bring them honor, but the way fools live will bring them shame.

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/on-the-box
http://www.youtube.com/user/thewayofthemaster
Questions on the Box:
1) Preaching/witnessing by yourself. Encouragement?
2) Are Christians narrow-minded, non-inclusive?
3) Is it wrong to tell someone that Jesus can give you abundance?
4) Do I need to always share my faith with others?
5) What do I need to pray for when it comes to sharing my faith?
6) What do you say to someone who says that to sin is just natural and the way that God made them to be?
7) What should you do if the security at the mall that you've been witnessing at tells you that you can no longer pass out Gospel tracts?
Courageous Box Office Statistics
The new Courageous movie was released in the U.S. and Canada, and apparently Argentina recently. This movie is made by the same people that also made the great recent Christian films Fireproof and Facing the Giants. Here are some U.S. box office stats (according to Wikipedia):
http://www.courageousthemovie.com/
Courageous was released on September 30, 2011 to 1,161 theaters,[9] grossing $3.1 million on its opening day and debuting in fourth place with an actual gross of $9,063,147 for the opening weekend,[17] the best opening of all new movies released that weekend.[17] It sold over $2 million in pre-sale tickets,[18] the most of the weekend on Fandango, beating out The Lion King 3D, Moneyball, Dolphin Tale and Drive.[19] After its opening weekend, Entertainment Weekly wrote, "...Courageous is the real success story of the weekend...Courageous earned a strong $8.8 million, outdoing the $6.8 million opening of Sherwood’s 2008 picture Fireproof, which became the highest-grossing independent film that year with $33.5 million total. Shown in 1,161 theaters (yet, notably, just one theater in Manhattan), Courageous earned the best per theater average of any wide release with a robust $7,580."[1] Courageous beat out all three Hollywood movies which opened on the same weekend: 50/50, What's Your Number?, and Dream House, which were produced with budgets of $8 million, $20 million, and $50 million, respectively.[1] According to Box Office Mojo, its opening weekend ranks fifth all-time among Christian movies, behind The Passion of the Christ and the three Chronicles of Narnia films.[20] As of November 1, 2011, the film has grossed $28,054,825, over 14 times its budget.[2]

Cussing Christians?
Thanks and credit to these videos made by YouTube user aflame4God.
http://www.youtube.com/user/aflame4God
Part 1 "Profanity/Cursing"
The tongue reveals the heart. If the heart is right with God, the speech will be right and not profane. Any speech inconsistent with godliness is worthless. Practical godliness will reveal itself in our speech. This will exclude all profanity, cussing, and crude language. When we talk about the serious holy things of God in a flippant way and use foul language on YouTube, Facebook, or at home, how can we expect anyone to respect us and take our faith in Christ seriously? Profanity is poison coming out of our mouth and it effects others. It is never pleasant, but is degrading. The danger of crude profane speech is ignored, denied, and even laughed at. The pollution of profanity fills the air like cigarette smoke. Profanity is a sin that must be confessed and repented of.
THIS VIDEO IS FOR "PROFESSING CHRISTIANS". JUST BECAUSE SAY WE ARE A CHRISTIAN DOESN'T MEAN WE ARE. WHAT WE DO AND SAY TELLS OTHERS WHAT IS IN OUR HEART. ON YOUTUBE WE'RE TO SET AN EXAMPLE TO ALL PEOPLE.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_MxWj7Wzxw
Part 2 "Corrupt/Filthy Communication"
Two New Testament commandments clearly tell us as Christians, that we should refrain from and not use profane foul, corrupt filthy communication. We must obey these commands with the enablement of the Holy Spirit. We have no excuse to use any language that dishonors Jesus Christ, out Lord and Savior! Evil speaking and foul language must be confessed as sin, forsaken and replaced with words that please the Lord. Can we have a "clean conscience" and at the same time disobey these commandments? The answer is no! Profanity brings reproach to the very One who died for your sins on the cross! We are called not to "blend in" with the world but as new creatures in Christ we are the temples of the Holy Spirit. We have been redeemed and we now belong to God. We must be different in desires, thoughts, and conduct. We are pilgrims, and our citizenship is in Heaven. Curse words in our sinful culture must not be a part of our lives. We follow Jesus Christ who is pure and holy and who is not profane!
Two New Testament Commandments
#1 Ephesians 4:29 "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."
#2 Col. 3:8 "But now ye also put off all these; anger,wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication, out of your mouth."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXiJosWb9ug
Part 3 "Coarse Joking/Foolish Talking"
There's a lot of compromise when it comes to our language. "Coarse jesting, crude jokes, vulgar slang", are sins according to God!! They should have no place in our lives at all. Evil speaking and foul language must be confessed, repented of, and put off if we say we follow Jesus. We must be committed to honor our Lord with our attitudes and words. We are responsible for what we say and how we choose to say it. How can we claim to have a clean renewed heart and yet use unclean filthy language? Christians have no reason to cuss or to use rude jokes!! Our speech is to be sound, pure and clean. Cussing and coarse jokes make us look unintelligent and crude!! It is a bad witness for Jesus. Some say, "Oh, he says he' s a Christian. But listen to his foul language and dirty jokes! I wonder if he talks like that at church." Are your casual conversations laced with lewd slang that is improper for a true child of God? The media is a slimy pit of obscene, vulgar material and we must avoid it, resist it, and denounce it as children of Light. Television is the chief influence in the daily lives of many professed Christians. Many of these crude programs will kill your zeal for God. These ungodly shows vomit filth and corrupt your minds and will contaminate your heart and speech. Don't think no one notices your foul language. Everyone notices it and it tells them what's in your heart. The talk of pagans is copied by those who profess Christ. Something is not right! People of base desires, usually cultivate a base crude kind of speech and lewd humor. As Christians we strive to be clean in heart and speech. We renounce all ungodly words that offend Jesus and others!!OUR SPEECH SHOULD BE FREE FROM EVERY TRACE OF FILTHINESS, FOOLISH TALKING AND COARSE JESTING! That kind of language is common in the world and should be uncommon among Christians. Thank you for watching this. Your comments are welcome. Please share with friends. God bless you.

Part 4 "Perverse Lips/Froward Mouth"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpD-wyuiE0g
The Bible clearly commands us to get rid of all'perverse speech.'[Prov4:24].This includes all ungodly words,profanity,lewd slang and cussing which is unclean and impure communication!! Eph.4:29 calls it,'corrupt communication'.Col.3:8 calls it , 'filthy communication." Eph .5:4 calls it,"'obscene,foolish language and dirty jokes."God is HOLY and when you cuss you cuss in His holy Presence!! 1 Peter2:1 commands us to 'get rid of ALL evil speaking." 1Peter 3:10 says if you 'love life and want to see good days you MUST refrain your tongue from speaking evil."This includes profanity,swearing,gossip,lying,backbiting,lewd slang and taking Gods name in vain!!! Decent moral people 50 years ago seemed to have had more integrity and manners and control over their words than many 'Christians' in 2010!! This is a tragedy !!
LEONARD RAVENHILL-' THE TONGUE HAS DONE MORE DAMAGE THAN ANY OTHER PART OF THE HUMAN BODY.THE HUMAN HEART CAN BE A SNAKE PIT,A DUNGEON OF DEVILRY,A FOXHOLE OF FILTH,A PIT OF PERVERSITY.THE FILTH THAT COMES FROM A FILTHY HEART COMES THROUGH THE LIPS!!THE TONGUE IS A INDEX OF THE HEART.SURELY ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING THINGS ABOUT 'TRANSFORMING GRACE' IS THAT MAN LOSES HIS FILTHY LANGAUGE,LYING TONGUE AND UNHOLY ANGER WHEN HE GETS SAVED!!
PROFANE: "Not sacred or holy, unclean, impure, polluted, unholy, irreverent, and defiling."
VULGAR: Coarse language that is crude, indecent, and obscene."
Would you cuss and curse in front of someone you deeply respect for their Christian faith? Or course not. Why would someone then cuss and curse in the presence of King Jesus?
TESTIMONIES:
1. John Bunyan, author of "Pilgrim's Progress".
Before he was born again, he constantly used profanity. He stopped when he was converted! "In his early days, when cursing and swearing more than his friends, his conscience bothered him, often being afflicted even when asleep, with dire apprehensions. He was still then in his teens."
2. John Newton, writer of the famous hymn, "Amazing Grace". Newton had a reputation for profanity, coarseness, and debauchery, which even shocked many a sailor. God's amazing grace took a rude profane slave trader and transformed him into a child of God.
3. Brother David (aflame4God) "When I was a very wicked drug user, I constantly used the worst forms of profanity, and obscene language. When God saved me in 1975, and the Holy Spirit came to live inside of me, I was set free from using such wicked words. As a new Christian in 1975 if I did cuss, which was rare after my conversion, I would feel very guilty and convicted by the Holy Spirit. My clean conscience would rebuke me and I would repent. I am still free 35 years later.AMAZING GRACE INDEED!!
4.My Grandfather-" Was a very hard working farmer who grew up in the depression and passed away in the year 2,000.He was a man of honesty and integrity and loved the farm.I spent 2 summers working for him in between breaks from Bible College,that was 1978 and 1980! Not once did I hear him curse or use lewd slang when expensive farm equipment broke down like a tractor,bailor or combine or when it would rain on freshly cut hay which would reduce it value.He accepted the fact that things will go wrong and he just keep his emotions and tongue in check.Never once heard him use profanity.He was a decent man and highly respected in his community.When he had a severe stroke in 1995 he never murmured or became bitter.He remained solid and stable in his integrity and always use proper english."
We have lost all sense of civility, politeness, decency, and purity in our manners and conversations. The world we live in is very lewd and very crude. As pilgrims on the narrow road we will not lower our standards. It's the highway of holiness!
Think before you speak! It is easy to blurt out a swear word or bark out a tactless, crude remark before you will consider the impact it will have on others. Thank God for the Christian YouTube channels that do not allow profanity on their channels, do not use it in their videos, and do not use it in making comments.
Some will say, "Brother David, you are so legalistic!" Well, I think, since the Bible says so much about our "words", it would not be legalistic to think seriously about "the kind of words we use". BEING OBEDIENT, CAREFUL AND CAUTIOUS IS NOT LEGALISM, IT'S PLEASING GOD.
Please consider sharing this video with your friends or putting it on your facebook. All four parts would make a good playlist on your channel and can benefit many other believers.

11/01/2011
Update: halloween 2011
My experience for halloween 2011: I passed out Gospel tracts to the trick-or-treaters. At first it didn't seem like I was going to get very many. The thought even crossed my mind that I might not get a single trick-or-treater. But, low-and-behold, suddenly soon after 7PM they started coming en masse. The last trick-or-treater was shortly after 8PM. I tried to tally up the numbers, but it was hard to keep track with the rush. I think we got around 60 (! :)), which is really good for my neighborhood. Normally I get only in the 20's, possibly 30's. One year I only got maybe 18 when halloween landed on friday night, probably because of the high school football game (seriously!) which is only a mile down the road from me. Anyway, this year I actually ran out of candy because I wasn't anticipating that many trick-or-treaters. But, it was all good because that only happened toward the end and I still had lots of Gospel tracts (although I ran out of the 'little kid' ones so I used some other ones). Again, I didn't anticipate that many trick-or-treaters, but God really heard the prayers blessed me. I really wanted to do this for His glory and to help others. Of course, I am blessed because of it as well, but my main focus was on God's glory and helping others. Thank you all! God bless. Praise the Lord!!! :) Also, the kids seemed to like the Gospel tracts. I heard one kid say "cool," another kid say something like "It's a candy pack!" and I think I also heard a "Wow." I was so focused on hurrying up to snap up the appropriate-aged Gospel tract to the groups of children that I don't recall every expression that the kids made. I just remember the kids generally liking the Gospel tracts. I think they went away really happy from coming to my house. To be honest, it was probably the best treat of the night for them. I mean, of course it was in the sense that it had the Gospel tract in it, but from a different vantage point it's like they got this really cool Gospel tract that is purposely made to be neat for kids and they got a couple pieces of good candy with it all in one little baggie just for them. I mean, to me that is a great treat. If I was a kid and I was trick-or-treating then I would probably think it was the best house of the night. Obviously, kids think back to what their favorite house of the night was. The only reason why I'm speaking this way is because everything good that happened is because of God. It's all thanks to God and it was all for HIM. Thank you Father, Son and Holy Spirit!.
Angry much?
I don't understand why some people on the Internet can act so angry & disrespectful towards Christians and their honest/respectful videos/comments. I see it on YouTube all the time. I felt inspired to make this post on my blog because I just saw this comment on YouTube for a Christian video that I happened to come across (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTJehUIOoVA). I will blot out the curse words:
It happens to me as well, once in a while. In fact, it just happened today. I wrote a comment for an AssociatedContent YouTube video about "ghosthunters" (you know those shows) the other day. I commented and basically said simply that ghosts are evil spirits not human spirits. That's all I said and someone replied to me with this (again I will blot out the curse words):
I don't take this stuff personally because I know that they are not really against me, but against God. I feel sorry for them even though it upsets me. God says to bless those who curse you. But, the point is that I can't recall ever behaving like that before I was a Christian and I had a lot of anger when I was younger. So, I just don't understand what would possess someone to launch an attack against someone else, and curse them out and belittle them so much when they are not even being hateful or disrespectful toward anyone. Why so much anger? There are some serious issues going on, and people need God and healing. We need to pray for these lost/wandering souls that desperately need Christ. God bless.
Moronic f**ktard..... I lived in west Texas in that town... the grass was brown all the time. That reservoir has been drying up for years. One algae bloom and this blowjobing c**kbite gets a woody???? F**k off.
Saved from what and by whom? There is no hell and no god to save you from it.
Y'all do yourself a favor. And grow the f**k up and get over it.
Lame a** punks like this b***h were seeing signs and promising the end 30 years ago. Those creeps were wrong then too.
It happens to me as well, once in a while. In fact, it just happened today. I wrote a comment for an AssociatedContent YouTube video about "ghosthunters" (you know those shows) the other day. I commented and basically said simply that ghosts are evil spirits not human spirits. That's all I said and someone replied to me with this (again I will blot out the curse words):
Give me a g*dd**ed break. And who told you this? Jesus? Was he a demon when he visited you with this information? Because he's dead, you know...
I don't take this stuff personally because I know that they are not really against me, but against God. I feel sorry for them even though it upsets me. God says to bless those who curse you. But, the point is that I can't recall ever behaving like that before I was a Christian and I had a lot of anger when I was younger. So, I just don't understand what would possess someone to launch an attack against someone else, and curse them out and belittle them so much when they are not even being hateful or disrespectful toward anyone. Why so much anger? There are some serious issues going on, and people need God and healing. We need to pray for these lost/wandering souls that desperately need Christ. God bless.

halloween 2011
I will be passing out Gospel tracts and candy to trick-or-treaters on halloween night. I don't celebrate halloween and I haven't since the first year that I became a Christian. I personally believe that it's too pagan in origin and I felt that the Holy Spirit impressed upon me to not celebrate it when I first got saved. I didn't feel right about it even though it used to be my favorite day of the year before I got saved. But, I decided that I could take advantage of the fact that trick-or-treaters come to my house door-knocking every year and that only occurs one day a year, and I can give them Gospel tracts. There are different websites on the Internet where you can buy halloween-themed Gospel tracts for kids and teenagers. These tracts do not necessarily promote halloween, but use halloween as a theme for trick-or-treaters to present the Gospel to them. Also, giving them a candy to me makes it all the more worthwhile of a visit for them. That way, if they don't really like the Gospel tract (although the Gospel tracts are really cool) they can feel that they at least got something they liked out of coming to my house and maybe they will appreciate it more and want to come back again next year if they are still celebrating halloween (although I would rather they not celebrate it). I will report back here and give the information about my experience of halloween 2011. Please pray. Thank you and God bless.

Christian Music Over Secular Music
Christian music gives me what secular music can't. Plus, the actual music is just as good if not better than secular music. Pwn.

New ApologetiX CD Coming Soon!
via Apologetix e-Newsletter, www.apologetix.com
New CD is Closer Than You Think
October 26, 2011, 12:47 pm EDT
The final master for our upcoming CD, Wise Up and Rock, was sent to the duplicator on Tuesday, October 25. The CD is scheduled for official release at our concert in Gainesville GA on Saturday, November 12.
The downloads will be available before that, though. We plan to start taking pre-orders early this coming week if not sooner. When you pre-order the CD, you'll be able to download the new tracks immediately and then receive the actual CD after we begin shipping the week of November 13.
An all-80's project, Wise Up and Rock is either our 19th or 30th CD, depending on whether you count the ApologetiX Classics CD series released last December. It features spoofs of 26 classic hits from the 80's -- 16 full-length tracks and one massive 10-song medley, which is easily one of the most ambitious things we've ever attempted.
We plan to send out an email when the downloads are ready for pre-order, but you can check at http://www.apologetix.com and http://www.facebook.com/Apologetix to make sure you don't miss it.
Check out www.apologetix.com for information on the band, music and concert events!

Manna-Fest w/Perry Stone: Life in the 8th Millennium
Episode # 521 -- Biblical teaching from Perry Stone on what happens AFTER the millennial reign of Jesus Christ and where we go once this is over.
A lot of people, even a lot of Christians I think, don't know about this stuff. It's good to learn about Biblical prophecy and to really dig into what the Bible says about things. There is so much information and incredible things to learn about the Bible that people don't even realize I think. God bless. :)

Mortal - Rift
Music video for Mortal's "Rift." This is a graphic video about child abuse. Mortal is an industrial-metal Christian band. I think this was made in the 90's.
From ThisProphecy, issue 18 (Fall 1994), pg 19:
Jyro: “Rift” is a song I wrote two days after I was saved. I couldn’t function correctly. There’s a lot of healing in that song which people can relate to, regardless of the style. It was bitter, but there’s so much victory in the end.

A Personal Problem, But What's More Important?
A personal story of mine: I have been trying to reach out to a certain person for quite some time with the Word and participating in Godly activities. We used to do this together all the time for a few years, but then it dwindled until it became practically non-existent. This person still claims to be a Christian, but whenever I try to approach them with doing the things that we used to do together they are pretty much never willing to do so. Sometimes they will say that possibly at some point they will, but then it never happens. I hardly ever go out of my way to ask them if they would like to do one of those activities anymore because I know what answer I will probably get, but moreso because they give me this attitude that they feel pushed if I do ask them. I don't understand why this person keeps behaving this way with me if they still consider themself a Christian and I am not even being pushy. I recently asked this person yet again if they would be willing to do a certain activity and they said maybe, but not with me, only with someone else. This really upset me because I felt like first of all, why is this person so against doing these Godly activities together and secondly why is this person so against doing them with me. They like to do some other activities with me, but when it comes to doing more Christian-type activities together, such as reading the Bible or watching a Christian movie or going to church suddenly it's like no. It really upsets me because I feel rejected and I feel like my Christian beliefs are being silenced, in the sense that this person doesn't allow me to fellowship with them as a believer. I am only allowed to do secular activities with them. I don't understand what they have against me, or against God perhaps? I am also the one that brought the Gospel message to them for which they got saved with in the first place. They really looked up to me and were heavily influenced by me. Now, when it comes to Christianity they treat me in a negative way. I prayed to God about this. Believe me, I have prayed many times concerning these issues. Even though I feel hurt by their negative attitude and treatment of me the thought came to me after prayer concerning this. A question popped in my mind that said, "What is more important: That they get the Word or that they get the Word with you?" I responded, "That they get the Word." Afterward, I concluded that even though I feel hurt by this person's attitude, I will feel grateful if they actually do Christian activities at all even if they refuse to do them with me; because I think them getting the Word in and fellowship is more important than my personal feelings of rejection and offense.
Carman - satan, bite the dust!
Lyrics:
Party's over, shut it down,
I'm huntin' for someone y'all
He's a lyin' thievin'rattlesnake
and he's broken every law
He's terrorized the lives
of men and he's under arrest
because I've been sent
with a warrant from the body of Christ
-Well, tell me what it says then! -
"Satan, bite the dust!"
Every one of you unclean spirits,
I'm runnin' you outta town
Depression, strife,
disease and fear, your posse's goin' down
-Boy, last tenderfoot who
talked that big we sent him home in a box -
But I know who I am
through Jesus Christ so I talk to you demons like dogs
Satan you coward, you molester of souls,
I command you to appear
You're hidin' from the presence of God but
I can feel your fear from here
-You rattled my chain, boy, long enough, you
got something in your craw? -
A praying church wants you to know
- Know what? -
Your kingdom's gonna fall
-There's gonna be
trouble here tonight -
CHORUS(1):
'Cause I represent a
whole new breed of Christian of today
And I'm authorized and
deputized to blow you clean away
I've got a message to
deliver from One who's true and just
We'll spit in your eye,
you father of lies
Satan, bite the dust!
-Boy, you gonna take me on and my unholy herd?-
Not only take you on, but
take you out by the Spirit and the Word
One by one you'll drop
like flies under foot and in the ground
Because greater is He who is in me
than the snake I'm starin' down
You demon of alcoholism,
you'll be the first to go
There's deliverance from you
through Jesus Christ, so, hit the road!
You spirit of infirmity,
you ain't welcome here no more
We lay hands on the sick
and they recover so, out the door!
You demon of false religion,
you've preyed on minds so simple
I bind the spirit of your songs,
so el kabong!
Play that in your temple!
Now Satan you're next in line,
I'm gonna hit you where it hurts
'Cause I'm tired of you in
my family and I'm tired
of you in my church
I'm not my own,
I'm bought with a price,
I'm a Holy Ghost filled man
And I'm tollin' the bell of
your eternal destruction
'cross the land
CHORUS(2):
'Cause I represent a
whole new breed of Christian of today
And I'm authorized and
deputized to blow you clean away
I've got a weapon with
two bullets that overcome all sin and crud
One bullet is called the word of my testimony,
and the other one's called The Blood
Satan, bite the dust!
Bite the dust!
Well how do you feel about that, devil?
-I'm afeelin' mighty low-
Good!

Carman - No Monster in My House
Lyrics:
When I was just a little kid I saw a scary movie
About as crazy lunatic, you see
He tried to kill these people on vacation with an axe
Then I'd imagine that this dude was after me
While layin' in my bed that night, afraid and wide awake
I promise you I saw a shadow move
But when I felt an evil spirit, that was it
I knew right then exactly what to do
(And then what happened) I took authority in Christ
(And then what happened) All fear flew away
(And then what happened) I stood bold as a lion, and ran it off when it heard me say
(What did you say)
Don't want no monsters in my house tonight
Don't want no monsters in my house
You won't get me screamin', you're nothing but a demon
It's time for you to go now
I am a temple of the Holy Ghost
And I'm protected by the Lord of Hosts
Get out in the name of Jesus Christ
'Cause I don't want no monsters in my house tonight
On TV there's the creep guy, the alligator man
I watch him as he chases and he hunts
This peaceful family through the woods with only one thing on his mind
He wants to eat their little kid for lunch
I go so weirded out I couldn't sleep, then it happened
An evil spirit floated by my bed
I could hardly believe the nerve of this little punk demon
I thought ayy, all right, that's it, you're dead
(And then what happened) I got righteously indignant
(And then what happened) I's gonna make that demon pay
(And then what happened) The anointing came upon me, I chased it out when it heard me say
(What did you say)
Don't want no monsters in my house tonight
Don't want no monsters in my house
You won't get me screamin', you're nothing but a demon
It's time for you to go now
I am a temple of the Holy Ghost
And I'm protected by the Lord of Hosts
Get out in the name of Jesus Christ
'Cause I don't want no monsters in my house tonight

Carman - witch's invitation
Lyrics:
One peaceful afternoon I picked up from my mailbox the strangest looking letter I'd ever seen, a chilling little envelope bordered with flying bats, and eerie serpents whose eyes were tinted green. The letter was addressed to me so as I opened it I froze. What I read turned my complexion three shades of blue. It said, 'My name is Isaac Horowitz. I'm a male witch, a warlock and I feel I need to spend some time with you.'
Now as a Christian from a little church with God's call on my life, a man of faith and power with a challenge to grow I did what any saint would do in my situation. I tore it up said, 'Lord, no way I'm gonna go.' Then gently and methodically the Holy Spirit spoke and reminded me we're God's voice to our nation. It's the church's responsibility to witness, so reluctantly I accepted this witch's invitation.
He had the house you'd expect, the old English cottage, a 'Nightmare on Elm Street' special right to the core, the overgrown ivy, the gate that creaked when opened, somehow you'd expect Freddy to answer this door. The doorbell rang, a hollow gong, the knob twisted then opened, and Isaac stood before me with a grin. His jet black hair and well trimmed beard flowed with his black silk clothes. My skin crawled as he said, 'Please come on in.'
His house was filled with every occultic symbol you could fathom; Hanging pentagrams and horoscope signs, a Ouija board and dungeons and dragons game set on the table, a crystal ball with an incandescent shine. Then graciously he handed me some steaming herbal tea. Its presence caused my memory to jog...I thought of every horror flick I'd seen when I was a kid and thought 'man if you drink this stuff next day you'll be a frog.'
Then he led me to a high backed chair as he meticulously began to unfold his scenario with evil patience. I was given a giant leather bound book jammed with newspaper clippings, thus the reason for this witch's invitation. With eagerness he pointed to each article with pride. He said, 'I healed this woman through a Babylonian chant; You see this man, I cured him while performing druid worship; I was paid to curse this man with AIDS by his aunt.'
On and on, page after page, delightfully he flaunted each incident for an hour without a breath. He said, 'Do you realize through my understanding of the dark regions that I can make you rich or even curse someone to death?' I sat literally intimidated by his immensity in demon power while his face shone with a satanic arrogant bliss. Then placing his hands on the arms of my chair and leaning into my face he said, 'What can your God do to compete with this?'
I knew then how Moses felt, when his rod turned to a serpent and the three Egyptian magicians did the same. It's as if you're sitting there in that stunned moment while your faith gets violated and all you feel is weak, powerless and lame. I desperately and deeply prayed saying, 'Jesus give me wisdom - I don't want to put you through some foolish test. Then a shaft of light shot through my soul igniting my eyes with fire. God stood me up and I threw the book back in his chest.
I said 'Isaac, I'll not compare God's miracles versus Satan's - the issue's not God's kingdom and Satan's lair. The real comparison is the condition of your soul and the condition of mine, and you puppet of the devil, that I will compare. I said, My friend, one day they're coming for you - the soft associates in your incantations - the friendly demons you think you now control. The time will come when you'll be lying in bed wheezing like a dying animal and those spirits lay claim to the rights they own to your soul.'
'Then the room will grow dark, and the most hideous evil faces you ever seen will come flaming out of the floor with a yell! The vile informants that promised reincarnation will claw your spirit and victoriously drag your soul to hell!'
Then I grabbed the book and said, 'In that moment which mantra, which incantation you gonna chant to tell them to leave you alone? I said, My friend, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt what I would say...'I'm bought with the blood of Jesus! Let me go!' '
I said, 'Isaac, when you tossed that book in my lap, you gloated with a sinister victory. You rejoiced when you saw your name in black and white. Now I rejoice, but not that your counsel of demons are subject to Jesus, but that my name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life!' Then Isaac jumped up from his chair and screamed, 'You must leave now!' I said, 'I will, but one last obligation - Next time think twice before you rumble with a man of God!!! And by the way thanks for your.. uhh... witch's invitation.

Lyrics:
We're both like Simon we still live in a state of denial
Although we'd both like to go to Heaven
We feel surprised about the trial
But the suff'ring Christ did accomplished somethin'
And the worst all turned out right
Go and find out in Hebrews chapter 5
Verses 7 through 9
You see
Every crown has its thorns
Just like every life has its cross
Just like every choirboy sings some sad, sad songs
Every crown has its thorns ... it does
A Christian needs to take his cross
Take it up and hit the road
Yeah, 'cause Jesus said lots of times that we should do it and
He should know
But I wonder -- as He walked
If He ever felt like quittin'
Yet I know we wouldn't be here right now if Christ
Took a different road than Calvary
CHORUS
Though I'm in a trial now
Christ can still feel all my pain
Like the nails that cut through and bruised Him
Cause the scars -- Christ's scars remain
LEAD
I know He could have saved His life that night if Christ
Chose to run away
Instead of takin' off -- He chose
To take the narrow way
And now I'm Heaven bound and born anew
And man I never had that much to lose
I'm here to bear my cross in life
And to see Him on the other side -- because

i think the more you learn and grow in the faith the more the devil will try to attack you because he doesn't want you to realize how much power you have and that you can use that power against him, and also because he wants to prevent you the best he can from doing God's work and speaking the truth to others because he hates God and he hates God's creation; but the Bible says that it is our faith that overcomes the world and that Jesus has already overcome it all

After much lobbying from Todd, Mike gives him the chance to do his first sermon, but they meet resistance from unexpected quarters. Meanwhile, Mike's eldest son finds him embarrassing. (from www.epguides.com)
Series Synopsis: Mike Weber (Dan Aykroyd) is a widowed Episcopal priest who must cope with (among other things) his four children, his obstreperous parishioners in Royal Oak, Michigan, and a wet-behind-the-ears curate who happens to be the nephew of his bishop. (from www.imdb.com)
Dan Aykroyd starred in this short-lived ABC series called "Soul Man." The show only lasted about a season during the late 90's and this is one of the episodes. Sorry for the less-than-average video quality. I recorded this episode on VHS all the way back when it originally aired and I was only 13 at the time.

October Baby (New Movie Trailer)
OCTOBER BABY is a coming of age story of Hannah, a beautiful 19 year old college freshman. Despite her lively personality, Hannah has always felt like an outsider. Something is missing. She has always carried a deep seeded sense that she has no right to exist. When she discovers she was adopted it comes as a shock, but Hannah's world is rocked even more when she learns why she was never told before - because she was the survivor of a failed abortion. She embarks on a road trip with some friends (including her oldest and closest friend Jason) to find her biological mother. She needs answers. In the process she unexpectedly discovers hope, love and forgiveness.
This uplifting and beautiful film may change the way you look at the world, your loved ones... and life.

Youth Turning Away from Abortion
from NRLC (National Right to Life) email:
Headlines on the web in the last 24 hours mention "The Growing Aversion to Abortion" (United States) and "Abortion Rate Falls by Half" (Korea).
Some U.S. states have also seen abortion rates fall by half or more. What connects all these stories is the phenomenon of young people turning sharply to the pro-life position. How that happened is no accident.
Young people today have been far more exposed to technologies that demonstrate the humanity of the unborn child: sonograms and even ultrasound images in 3-D. These images reinforce what they intuitively know: that an unborn baby is one of us.
But young people have also been far more exposed to pro-life education. It's on the web, it's in communities with active pro-life chapters, it's in their churches and schools. The Right to Life movement has worked hard over the years to make sure young people know the facts about unborn life, and that alternatives to abortion are readily available.
In addition to general pro-life education for young people, National Right to Life sponsors National Teens for Life, the National Right to Life Academy for college students, internship programs and national pro-life speech and essay contests for young people. We support pro-life education summits and youth camps. We're turning a generation of idealistic, energetic young people into pro-life activists!
Your financial support for these efforts can leverage more pro-life activism and results than you can ever know. Imagine your gift helping to turn a young person into a life-long volunteer for life! Imagine the lives she will touch, the children she will save!
Please contribute to National Right to Life's programs to reach young people and permanently change our society to one that protects life! Your action now can save generations to come!

Chalk (short Christian film about standing up for believing in God and challenging atheist professor)
This is a short film about an atheistic professor that challenges his students every semester to question a belief in God, until one semester everything changes.
I believe this is a film version of the famous story that's been passed around. I think it's also sometimes called "The Professor."
I couldn't find this film on the Internet, to buy or view. Maybe it's out there somewhere, but I never managed to find it. I think it was made in the 90's, but I'm not sure. I originally recorded this onto VHS several years ago from when it aired on television on FamilyNet (http://www.familynet.com/). I dubbed it onto DVD and then uploaded it here to YouTube. Sorry about the spotty video quality at times, but hey it came from VHS. I'm so glad I was able to find this and then upload it onto here. It's a little gem. I'm hoping that I'll be able to find some other rare, hard-to-find little gems on my old VHS tapes and upload them here.
God bless. :)
Also, I think there is more than one message to the film: 1) You can claim that you know there is a God or know that there is not a God, try to prove it or disprove it in various ways. But, at the end of the day, no matter what you claim to know and no matter what proof you may try to display if a person is unwilling to believe then they will not believe. It's all about faith. Truth will still be true no matter what. 2) Moral lesson: You should never be ashamed to stand up (for God).
What kids wanted more than candy...
"The Chick tracts went like hot cakes. Many of the children were more interested in the tracts than the candy. I was astonished!" Email
"We have used your candy and tract idea for the last six years. Kids love Chick tracts. Some of them were yelling to their friends saying, 'Hey, they're giving out the good stuff over here!'" California
"Halloween was a blast this year. My family and I don't celebrate the holiday but we passed out tracts. The kids loved them!" Texas
"The first kids said, 'Books! Cool!' One little guy said, 'The candy goes in here but this stays in my hand!' He walked away reading." Wisconsin
"Some of the kids say, 'I got this one last year, can I have a different one?' So we know they read and remember them." Maryland
"This is an unbelievable idea. I got the gospel into every home in my neighborhood…and the kids came to my door asking for it." Email
"As a kid, I was reluctant to go to church but I always went Trick-or-Treating. One year, when I emptied my bag, I noticed a comic book entitled SOMEBODY GOOFED. I'm indebted to that unknown Christian for leading me to Christ. Thank you!" Email
"We wanted to pass out tracts for Halloween and it worked! When I told them they were comic books, everybody wanted one." Email

Courageous Movie Trailer (New Movie)
This is the fourth movie from the guys that brought you "Fireproof" and "Facing the Giants." So, if you like their other movies then you know this new one's going to be good; and hey it's supporting a Biblical-based Christian ministry. Plot for the movie: Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. When tragedy strikes home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Protecting the streets is second nature. Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That's courageous.
The movie is coming out to U.S. theatres on September 30, 2011. Check here to see if it's coming out to a theatre near you: http://www.courageousthemovie.com/tickets
I don't know all of the release dates for other countries. Considering that it's a Christian movie brought out by a Christian ministry then there might be a limited release to theaters. According to imdb.com it will be released to theatres in the U.K. and Ireland on November 4, 2011.
