More about Philip Pullman and The Golden Compass

Snopes talks about the truth about The Golden Compass.Here is a link to a post on a forum written by a concerned father about the impact of The Golden Compass on his son.
This is sad to market a science fiction series where God is evil. To use fantasy to promote your atheism is wrong, From what information I can get, this is some of what is in the book :God is portrayed as an evil tyrant who they kill. Children are encouraged to have sex. A priest is given the forgiveness to kill before he murders because of an 'indulgence'. There are homosexual angels and the afterlife is a dark and dreary place, until finally the 'good guys' (one of whom is Satan) comes along and frees the souls locked there, allowing them to become wind and flow through the world as one with nature again. Can you believe Satan is GOOD?
This is just another example to remind us that What The World Needs is God!

The Golden Compass: Don't Expose Your Children.

It is disturbing and we as Christians must make sure our children are not exposed to this book or this movie. The book writes about a senile God and the evil of the Church. It is a direct affront to reach out to children and show a world where evil is the church.
I am not sure what this series of books is all about, I haven't read but if I were the parent of young children I would be sure to read and find out what is behind this movie.

Pray for Families and Victims at Virginia Tech

We need to offer a prayer for the families and victims of the terrible shooting tragedy in Virginia.We can never understand what brings a person to kill and injure other people in such a senseless tragedy



Our Father, who art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy Name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done,

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,

and the power,

and the glory,

for ever and ever.

Amen.

Rescue Me

Psalm 71: Rescue Me, O My God

In thee, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame!
In thy righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline thy ear to me, and save me!
Be thou to me a rock of refuge, a strong fortress, to save me, for thou art my rock and my fortress.
Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
For thou, O Lord, art my hope, my trust, O LORD, from my youth.
Upon thee I have leaned from my birth; thou art he who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of thee.
I have been as a portent to many; but thou art my strong refuge.
My mouth is filled with thy praise, and with thy glory all the day.
Do not cast me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent.
For my enemies speak concerning me, those who watch for my life consult together, and say, "God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him."
O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!
May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who seek my hurt.
But I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.

My Refuge and My Fortress

Let the lord be your fortress and your refuge. If you are troubled or afraid,you can lean on the Lord.
Psalm 91: 'My Refuge and My Fortress'

Psalm 91



He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence; he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.
Because you have made the LORD your refuge, the Most High your habitation, no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent.
For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways.
On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name.
When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

Pray for Britney Spears.

Britney can use all the prayers she can get. She seems to be a young woman out of control. So many rumors being written in the tabloids and on the Internet.Clearly she is a young woman in need of help before she destroys herself. We should remember her and her family in our prayers. Pray that Britney overcomes her addictions and is able to come back to her life with her beautiful children.
As a Mother I see all these stories, and I feel so sad inside that she seems so tormented and unhappy and the world is so busy criticizing her. Please Keep her in your prayers!

Anne Rice and Christianity

I have read most of Anne Rice's books about the Vampire Lestat and other vampire and devilish characters. She is an intense writer bringing alive the the vampire's evil bloody existence.
After decades and many books she was brought back to her Catholic faith.She asked her assistant to recommend a priest. She went to him and made her confession.

She returned to the Lord in 1998. "My life is committed to Christ the Lord," she said. "My books will be a reflection of that commitment."

Praise to the Lord Psalm 24

We all belong to the Lord, and David says it so well in Psalm 24,Praise Be to the GLory of the Lord

Psalm of David.
The earth is the LORD's and the fulness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein;
for he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the rivers.
Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false, and does not swear deceitfully.
He will receive blessing from the LORD, and vindication from the God of his salvation.
Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. [Selah]
Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in.
Who is the King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, mighty in battle!
Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory! [Selah]

Mercy Me, One of Christian Music's Best

So many conservative Christians are quick to dismiss contemporary Christian music,and that is a shame,because they are missing out on some great musicians giving glory to the Lord.
Now in my humble opinion. I love many, many different types of music both in secular and christian music. There are songs ranging from classical,rock and roll,jazz, easy listening,country ,even hip hop and rap. I love the old hymns,How Great Thou Art for example never fails to bring a tear to my eye. I also recognize the value of other types,the more contemporary ,Mercy Me for example.
They bring their talent and ministry to sing about us being in the glory of the lord. How could any one of us know or imagine how we would react or behave? This particular song of theirs makes me break down and cry,while in my mind I do imagine being in his presence and knowing I am not worthy,but that I have come to him through his sacrifice for my sins. And as the tears flow I think of my loved ones whose faith has taken them to be with Him also,and I know I will see them again.
Please listen to this video,keep an open mind,I am confident you will be brought to tears,too.

T Bone Christian Rapper

The first time I heard T Bone was in the movie The Fighting Temptations. I was impressed by the whole movie,and equally impressed by the sound track. The O Jays,Beyonce,T Bone,Montell Jordan,Shirley Caesar, and others. I bought both the DVD and the sound track.
He is a christian rapper and he is very talented,he could be fierce competition for mainstream rappers but his choice is to glorify the Lord.

Praise the lord for the birth of our Saviour!

We are in the season of celebration. Take time to thank and praise God for letting his son be born on Earth,so he would grow up and die on the cross and save us from our sins if we give our live to Jesus.
When you think of it,he does not ask very much in return for what he has done for us.
So please be thankful and think of the true reason for Christmas-Christ,the birth of the baby Jesus.

Check out this cd. Charlie Daniels has done a great job with these christmas songs,and he has a special message about how he feels about Christmas and the blessed birth of Jesus.
