Be Cautious!

I was sent a question regarding Benny Hinn a famous tele-evangelist, I posted the question below. We need to be careful of those who come forward and proclaim the name of Christ. The Bible teaches us that there will be false prophets that will arise. Also we need to protect the Scriptures so that people such as Benny Hinn can't twist them. People need to be saved, I am not saying that no one watching Benny Hinn's show has ever gotten saved but we cannot allow false teachers to continue without performing church discipline because they can lead others astray. 

Benny Hinn also claims to do "Faith Healing"  It is clear that these spiritual gifts ended when the Canon was complete. 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 1 Corinthians 13:8-10 Perfect in this verse refers to complete.

This is the question that I received:

"Benny Hinn is a supposed man of God, so then why did he curse people on air who are against his ministry? It says on Luke 6:28, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." Anonymous

Worrying

Does worrying have a place? Should we as Christians worry or should it be better defined as being apprehensive about something. Would this denote that our trust is not great enough in God to provide for our needs? Some scripture on this would be nice!

Uncomfortable Death

Why do people seem to be sooooo uncomfortable about death? For someone that does not know what is going to happen to them after they die you would think that it would be the question that nearly consumes their life. Yet most people seem to go about life living as though they will never die. Should not death be a concern for everyone?

27And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27 (King James Version))

Fatherhood

I learned recently that I am going to be a father. My wife is pregnant and is due in March. I imagine that there are a few other people out there in this situation.

Here are a few questions that may help a father in raising his children: (Please provide verses to explain.)

1. What is the #1 job of a father?

2. What should the daily life of a father be? (Schedule...)

3. What is the best way of discipline for disobedience?

4. How should a mother and a father "mesh" together to be on the same page when it comes to decision making?

How Should we vote?

Looking at the elections seems to be a confusing battle for some people. Should we vote at all given the cadidates? Should we vote on values? Or vote purely on who we think would be best at leading this country?
I tend to lean toward the idea that freedom in our very imperfect world is not free any try to vote according to who I believe will protect us best to maintain our freedoms.
What I would like is for people to add to this or comments on their ideas, try to point to some bible verses that could help to instruct us on how to vote.

Talk in the office

It is very disturbing to me sometimes when I am in the office and get into a group conversation with everybody. Things are accepted that shouldn't be. They give praise to one guy for divorcing his wife and say he can now, "have some fun." They joke around about who they were "with" the night before. I wonder how they see this as fulfilling in their lives. They lift each other up and gamble and even put down our boss who is a true fellow Christian. One of the guys I think is going to have lunch with me in the near future. :) I'll try to spread the good news with him then.


I walked out of the building a couple of weeks ago, they were saying that my wife really would like unnatural relations with other women. When I told them that she thought it was gross, they said that I didn't know her well enough and that deep down she really did. All of the guys in our office were laughing at this, I simply walked out and the guy that started it came out and apologized later.


A verse has really stuck out in my mind lately, "Although they know full well God's just sentence--that those who practice such things deserve to die--they not only do them, but even applaud others who practice them." Romans 1:32

How true is this?!! Take a look at some of the people around you who are caught up in their sins and watch how they interact with each other. Give some feedback here on what you find out. Am I just imagining things or has Satan gathered his forces against us and use others around us to encourage us to sin. Have little tolerance for course language, I forgot who said it but the quote goes, "If you fill your life with trash, you're going to start smelling like it." I would like find some other viewpoints on this.

How Can "Christians" Say This Is OK?????????????????????

I have a question about Christianity. How in the world can anyone who associates with the name of Christ agree with abortion?

This had me BAWLING as I was watching it. I don't even have children yet, but how can people do this??? And even worse, how can CHRISTIANS do this? How can anyone proclaim the name of Christ yet do this HORRIFIC ACT OF MURDER?!

Why do I put a video up like this? Because of the "Christians" who believe this is OK, and for the "Christians" who murder the unborn... because it is beyond me how anyone can call themselves a "Christian" and do this act. Statistics show that the amount of abortions that professing "Christians" have and the worldly people have are EQUAL.

WARNING! This contains gruesome images and is NOT suitable for children... Play at your own risk. And if you don't cry (or at least start to), I'm not sure if you're human!
