Ten Shekel Shirt - Love From a Lesser god
http://tenshekelshirt.com/home.cfm
I can't believe it's come to this.
I can't believe I made such a mess.
Somehow I'm now afraid of me.
I've slowly grown to be my worst enemy.
It wasn't like I fell into a rut,
it was more like a dive so I could swim in the mud.
Looking for love from a lesser god
has wounded my soul.
Looking for love from a lesser god
has made me cold.
so I come close.
I'm satisfied.
I'm satisfied in You.
To start again, wouldn't that be nice?
To go back in time and set things right.
What's done is done,
how could I be so dumb?
I found myself, destruction button.
To quench my thirst,
I bowed my head down
and started to drink from a bitter fountain.
Looking for love from a lesser god
has wounded my soul.
Looking for love from a lesser god
has made me cold.
Looking for love from a lesser god
has taken it's toll.
Looking for love from a lesser god
has made me cold.
so I come close.
I'm satisfied.
I'm satisfied in You.
I'm satisfied
right here and now.
I'm satisfied in You.

The cross is foolishness to those who are perishing (Christ Is God's Power and Wisdom)
1 Corinthians 1:17-31

New Century Version (NCV). The Holy Bible, New Century Version®. Copyright © 2005 by Thomas Nelson, Inc.
(Apostle Paul writing to the church at Corinth) And He (God) sent me (Apostle Paul) to preach the Good News without using words of human wisdom so that the cross[a] of Christ would not lose its power.
18 The teaching about the cross is foolishness to those who are being lost, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 It is written in the Scriptures:
"I will cause the wise to lose their wisdom;
I will make the wise unable to understand." — Isaiah 29:14
20 Where is the wise person? Where is the educated person? Where is the skilled talker of this world? God has made the wisdom of the world foolish.21 In the wisdom of God the world did not know God through its own wisdom. So God chose to use the message that sounds foolish to save those who believe.22 The Jews ask for miracles, and the Greeks want wisdom. 23 But we preach a crucified Christ. This causes the Jews to stumble and is foolishness to non-Jews. 24 But Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God to those people God has called—Jews and Greeks.25 Even the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
26 Brothers and sisters, look at what you were when God called you. Not many of you were wise in the way the world judges wisdom. Not many of you had great influence. Not many of you came from important families.27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and He chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.28 He chose what the world thinks is unimportant and what the world looks down on and thinks is nothing in order to destroy what the world thinks is important.29 God did this so that no one can brag in his presence.30 Because of God you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God. In Christ we are put right with God, and have been made holy, and have been set free from sin. 31 So, as the Scripture says, "If people want to brag, they should brag only about the Lord."[b]
Footnotes:
1 Corinthians 1:17 cross Paul uses the cross as a picture of the Good News, the story of Christ's death and rising from the dead for people's sins. The cross, or Christ's death, was God's way to save people.
1 Corinthians 1:31 "If . . . Lord." Quotation from Jeremiah 9:24.

The Cost of Love
by Answers in Genesis
Love—the kind that’s real—doesn’t come gift-wrapped on Valentine’s Day. It’s not the momentary glow of a fresh relationship. It’s not the reuniting of two characters in a sappy movie. No, real love is explained in the Bible. Real love is selfless, sacrificial, and unconditional.

Why are young people walking away from our churches?

During the past thirty years of traveling the world and speaking in churches, I have been deeply burdened by distraught parents pleading for advice on how to reach their children who were brought up in the church but no longer attend. “How can I reach them? How can we get them back to church?” I have been asked time and time again. As I saw such patterns across America, Australia, Europe, and the United Kingdom, I was sure there must be a connection. Could it be that the lack of teaching apologetics in our churches, youth groups, Sunday schools, and Bible studies is a major reason why young people leave the church? I talked with parents and noticed that an overwhelming number of them admitted they didn’t know how to answer their children’s questions—whether about dinosaurs, the age of the earth, or the origin of the Bible. I also found that most parents believe their children’s Christianity won’t come under attack until college. So we contracted with Britt Beemer, from America’s Research Group, to formulate questions and survey one thousand twenty-somethings (ages 20–29) who had gone to church regularly as children but no longer attend. They had to have come from a conservative church background so the results would reflect what’s happening to children from Bible-believing churches. The study found we are losing our kids in elementary, middle school, and high school rather than college. And overall, it’s because of the lack of teaching apologetics. The younger generations are not being raised to be able to answer the skeptical questions of our time, and so they begin doubting from a very early age whether they can trust the Bible.

Jericho's Echo - Punk Rock In The Holy Land
In this critically acclaimed documentary, rebellious Israeli youth take up the arms of punk rock, loud guitars, and mohawks in the most politically charged area of the world. Through interviews, verite« scenes and live musical footage, we see how these well-spoken and outspoken kids deal with life in the Middle East. Looking at Israel through the eyes of punk rockers is an uncommon vantage point, but the voices of these diverse young people illuminate the thoughts of a generation of disillusioned Israelis who yearn for an end to the bleak politics of war, so that they might live out their dreams. Featuring bands Useless I.D. (Kung Fu Records), Man Alive (Militia Group), Nikmat Olalim, Chaos Rabak, Retribution and more.

(FAIR USE)
I just happened to come across this on YouTube. I don't agree with all of the views/opinions that are spoken of here, and there is some cussing, but I thought this was an interesting display of some youth in Israel - punk rockers - and an opportunity to gain some insight.

I Don't Want Your Religion
It's sad when I hear or read people talking about how much they hate religion and they seem to lump Christianity or faith in Christ as being part of that religious heap when it really isn't. Religion is about trying to work your way into Heaven hoping that you will somehow earn your ticket; whereas faith in Christ is just that - faith. What He (Jesus) did for us, in dying for our sins so that we can receive forgiveness, is not religious in that regard at all. It's the opposite of religion in that it's not about earning your way to Heaven, but about receiving the "gift of pardon" that Jesus "purchased" for us with His own blood. I was just thinking of how sad (in an honest, caring way not a sarcastic snarky way) it is to know that so many people out there in the world don't seem to understand.

Help Daystar stay on the air!
Help Daystar stay on the air!
In the next day or two the United States Congress will be finalizing legislation (part of the Payroll Tax Credit Extension) that will take away our airwaves and force this channel and the program you are watching off the air. For good.
How? To find more spectrum for wireless companies, the government is looking to take the airwaves away from low-power religious broadcasters like us. Although there are ways for us to remain on the air and still free up spectrum, it seems that Speaker Boehner is objecting to those alternatives.
Low-power TV (LPTV) stations all over the country broadcast programs not often found on more traditional cable and broadcast channels. But if this legislation moves forward we will lose the ability to bring you the kind of news, information and entertainment you enjoy.
To stay on the air we desperately need our loyal viewers like you to immediately call Speaker John Boehner at 202-225-0600 and Majority Leader Eric Cantor 202-225-4000.

That's a Fact - Science in Scripture
Some say that the Bible is religion and science is truth, and that means the two are incompatible. But if the Bible is only a religious book, then we might as well not study gravity, the hydrological cycle, and the importance of blood in living things, because Scripture describes all these scientific facts.

We give God credit for the good things, but what is His role in the bad?
by Mike Matthews, Answers in Genesis
May 28, 2009
“Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and . . . not evil?” I still remember the first time I read these words. The author of this question, Job, made the answer sound so obvious: of course we receive evil at God’s hand. The meaning of this verse was not so obvious to me. I looked it up in a commentary and was told that evil can have many meanings in Hebrew, including “catastrophe.” That sounded plausible, but it didn’t really answer my questions. Is God the author of catastrophe? Job believed that the answer was clearly yes. At the time, as a young convert, I chalked it up to one of those deep mysteries about a sovereign God.

God, can I ask you something?
I'm not sure who originally wrote this, but I got it sent to me in an email and I wanted to post it here:
The reason I sing is to praise the One who gave His life to be...the reason I sing!
Scriptural References: II Samuel 22:31, Proverbs 3:5, Hebrews 2:13
"The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.. ." (Proverbs 11:25)
In all things give thanks. 1 Thes 5:18
No one rises to low expectations. ~Les Brown
The reason I sing is to praise the One who gave His life to be...the reason I sing!
Me (in a tizzy) : God, can I ask you something?
GOD: Sure.
Me: Promise you won't get mad?
GOD: I promise.
Me (frustrated): Why did you let so much stuff happen to me today?
GOD: What do you mean?
Me: Well I woke up late,
GOD: Yes
Me: My car took forever to start,
GOD: Okay....
Me (growling): At lunch, they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait
GOD: Hmmmm..
Me: On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call
GOD: All right
Me (loudly): And to top it all off, when I got home, I just wanted to soak my feet in my foot massager and relax, but it wouldn't work. Nothing went right today! Why did you do that?
GOD: Well let me see..... the death angel was at your bed this morning and I had to send one of the other angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that.
Me (humbled): Oh...
GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that might have hit you if you were on the road
Me (ashamed): ............
GOD: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick and I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work
Me (embarrassed): Oh.....
GOD: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give a false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered
Me (softly): I see God
GOD: Oh and that foot massager, it had a short that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.
Me: I'm sorry God.
GOD: Don't be sorry, just learn to trust me.........in all things, the good and the bad
Me: I WILL trust you God
GOD: And don't doubt that my plan for your day is always better than your plan
Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, thank you for everything today.
GOD: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I love looking after my children.
