Christian Entertainment

Entertainment for Christians can be fun, but we have to be careful not to let what the world calls entertainmemt separate us from God. Christians can enjoy music, go see movies as long as the content is suitable. We can attend theatrical plays, have dinner with our friend, have parties, enjoy the beaches, etc. But in all we do, we must have to be careful to always honor God. It is not ok to go to bars, drink in excess, tell dirty jokes, or watching things that are inappropriate.

The child in the photo appears to be looking upward as if they are in search for an answer. Sometimes in our lives we face difficulties wheither it be in our health, finances or tragedie in our families. When these troubled times come and we have exhausted all of our resources, we too resort to that same stance of looking upward for a divine answer to our problems in life.

Christian Stuff

The Christian items I've come across that have been interesting are books. The first book's title is volume three of Prayers That Avail Much by Germaine Copeland Word Ministries, Inc. This book is interesting because of it's short stories, scripture references and prayers. The other book is A Divine Revelation of Heaven by Mary K. Baxter with Dr. Lowery. This one is a great read because it really calls for a closer walk with God. The link is www.whitetakerhouse.com.
The Christian item that was questionable is the Healing Spring water. This item is sold by Peter Popoff Ministries.org. The spring water is supposed to heal of any sicknesses.

The History and Spirit Of Blogging

The History and Spirit of Blogging
The history of blogging is very informal. I did not realize that there are so many bloggers on the internet. This is very new for me. I have heard the term blogging used, but I never thought of using it as the tool it’s being used for.
There are so many avenues to take when it comes to blogging. This is definitely a great way to communicate worldwide to get your thoughts out, and to share the Gospel with the world.
There are too many people out there who are hurting and don’t know that there is a Savior who is waiting for them to want something bigger than they could ever obtain on this earth. There is a Savior that has given himself for us to live on eternally and people need to know that. This Savior is Christ Jesus, whom the world can’t give and can’t take away for us.
Being able to blog such information freely, makes it all the better. Having access to communicate with others to ask questions, find out the very latest in news, launch person campaigns, and talk to relatives is an awesome thing.
Blogging is also a great way to search find a community who are Christians to share our faith. I am sure there are many of us with questions and answers, when it comes to scripture in the Bible.
More importantly blogging is an awesome way to communicate with others, our faith in Christ, our thoughts, life’s testimonies, our trials and our victories in Jesus. We can share him in so many ways, but a must through the word of God. We must reach out to hear from others and seek out to help others.
I finish this blog with food for thought. If you and your friends decided to make a movie, what would it be like if one girl wanted a comedy, another wanted mystery, the third wanted a love story so you could bring out the tissue and have a good cry, the movie would never work. It’s the same thing when we go about God’s business, his kingdom business. Even when you mean well people have disagreements. We have different styles and personalities. This is life. As a Christian, we don’t have to pretend our differences don’t exist. We can disagree, but not to the point that it tears apart our friendships and family.
In Matthew 12:25 the Bible says “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or house hold divided against itself will not stand.

Truth Claims of World Famous Photo's

Which Version of the Bible Do You Use and Why?

The type of Bible I prefer to use is the NIV Life Application Bible. The way this Bible is set up, makes the scripture easier to understand. The scriptures are written three different ways. The first in the normal format, then broken down into today's language and finally footnotes at the bottom. There are also addtional scripture referrences along the pages. And if I want to look up a certain topic, they're located in the index at the back of the Bible.
I perfer reading from a paper back Bible versus a digital Bible because I like to sit in my bed and read, holding my book, it feels more personal. I don't really care much for looking at a computer screen. I'm just old fashioned that way. I want to carry my sword in book form.

Favorite Passage of Scripture

My my favorite scriptures is in Matthew 6:25-34 because Jesus taught about not worring. He tells us not to worry about our lives. He says the we should't worry about what we're going to eat, drink, our bodies or what we will wear. Jesus say's that if our heavenly Father will take care of the birds of the air and dress the fields with grass then why wouldn't he take care of us and human beings made in his own image
Sometimes we can get so caught up in pondering on the things of tomorrow and the what if's, but if we are spending time worring it takes away and interfears with our relationship with God. Fear shows that our faith is not complete in Christ. We have to pray and ask the Lord to help us trust and lean on him, when all of the answers aren't in sight.

Keeping Time

My schedule gets pretty busy each week. On Sundays I get up around 5:00 am to pray on this prayerline over the phone, start breakfast for my family, make sure everyones clothes are pressed for church, comb my kids hair, make sure shoes and socks are out, make sure everyone is dressed on time to head out for church. I make it to church in time for choir rehearsal, sing for Sunday service which can usually last about 30 minutes for so. Later after church service is over I go home make dinner and maybe take a nap and do some homework. At the end of the day I clean a little and get things ready for Monday. On Monday I am up by 5:30 am to get my son up for school, make breakfast for him, make sure that he is prepared with his school items and ready for the bus to come. I pray with him before he leaves the house or sometimes I pray for him alone. After I get him out the door it's time for me to get my nine year old daugther up for school, which could be a task at times because she does not like getting up at 6:30 am. Anyway I get her dressed, make sure she washes her face and brush her teeth, I comb her hair and make sure she has breakfast, pray with her before she leaves out the door for the bus. Between 7:30 and 8:00 am I make sure my 17 year old is up getting herself ready for school and then it's my turn to start getting myself ready for school as well. My eldest daughther and I talk and pray often together about our day and we head out so that I could drop her off to school and then I head to school at Florida Christian College. I usually have class Monday thru Friday, along with Chapel on Tuesdays and Discipleship group on Thursdays. On Wednsday nights I have Bible study at my church and on every first Thursday of the month I have a life connect group my family and I attend. In this group we have bible study, pray for one another, prepare meals for familes in crises, and have worship time before the Lord. Throughout the day I am praying,reading the word of God, sharing the Lord with someone, wheither it's at my job with clients, my family and or friends. I'm working my job on Fridays and Saturday.

Time Management

God has definitely been dealing with me about how I spend my time. I realize that my schedule can get pretty hectic. After reading Arron Chamber's blog, this really has caused me to focuse more on what is filling up my time during the day and I need to make changes.
