A Woman Of Virtue (Can Be Found)

•2009/11/21 • Leave a Comment

Proverbs 31:10-31, “A capable, intelligent, and [b]virtuous woman–who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls. The heart of her husband trusts in her confidently and relies on and believes in her securely, so that he has no lack of [honest] gain or need of [dishonest] spoil. She comforts, encourages, and does him only good as long as there is life within her. She seeks out wool and flax and works with willing hands [to develop it]. She is like the merchant ships loaded with foodstuffs; she brings her household’s food from a far [country]. She rises while it is yet night and gets [spiritual] food for her household and assigns her maids their tasks. She considers a [new] field before she buys or accepts it [expanding prudently and not courting neglect of her present duties by assuming other duties]; with her savings [of time and strength] she plants fruitful vines in her vineyard. [S. of Sol. 8:12.] She girds herself with strength [spiritual, mental, and physical fitness for her God-given task] and makes her arms strong and firm. She tastes and sees that her gain from work [with and for God] is good; her lamp goes not out, but it burns on continually through the night [of trouble, privation, or sorrow, warning away fear, doubt, and distrust].     19She lays her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She opens her hand to the poor, yes, she reaches out her filled hands to the needy [whether in body, mind, or spirit]. She fears not the snow for her family, for all her household are doubly clothed in scarlet. She makes for herself coverlets, cushions, and rugs of tapestry. Her clothing is of linen, pure and fine, and of purple [such as that of which the clothing of the priests and the hallowed cloths of the temple were made]. Her husband is known in the [city's] gates, when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes fine linen garments and leads others to buy them; she delivers to the merchants girdles [or sashes that free one up for service]. Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure; she rejoices over the future [the latter day or time to come, knowing that she and her family are in readiness for it]! She opens her mouth in skillful and godly Wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness [giving counsel and instruction]. She looks well to how things go in her household, and the bread of idleness (gossip, discontent, and self-pity) she will not eat. Her children rise up and call her blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied); and her husband boasts of and praises her, [saying], Many daughters have done virtuously, nobly, and well [with the strength of character that is steadfast in goodness], but you excel them all. Charm and grace are deceptive, and beauty is vain [because it is not lasting], but a woman who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord, she shall be praised! Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates [of the city]!”

Eph 4:21-33, “Submitting to one another in the fear of God. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.”

Eph 5:21-33, “Submitting to one another in the fear of God. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. ”For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.”

Col 3:18-25, “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality.”

1 Tim 1:7 & 11 & 2:9-15, “But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. 8 For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come… Likewise their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things… in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.”

2 Tim 3:1-9, “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.”

Titus 2:1-10, “But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things– that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. Likewise exhort the young men to be sober-minded, in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you. Exhort bondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back, not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.”

1 Pet 3:1-7, “Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. Do not let your adornment be merely outward–arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel– rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror. Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.”

What Is Faith?

•2009/10/23 • Leave a Comment

What Is Faith?

Hebrew 11:1 “NOW faith is the subSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen,” KJV. “Trusting is being confident of what we hope for, convinced about things we do not see,” CJB.

Substance: Here it means a realization or a firm conviction of what is hoped for. It is an established expectation of future reward. It literally means “to STAND under” as a deed or title of ownership for things hped for.

“That of which a things consists, or is made up, matter; material, that which is real; the essential or material part, resources, goods” Webster.

 Evidence: Here it means confidence of the things not seen. These are God given.

 ”That which shows or established truth of something, proof, testimony,” Webster.

 We have a heavenly inheritance wating to be revealed in the last times.

 1 Peter 1:3-5 “Praised be God, Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who, in keeping with his great mercy, has caused us, through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah from the dead, to be born again to a living hope, to an inheritance that cannot decay, spoil or fade, kept safe for you in heaven. Meanwhile, through trusting, you are being protected by God’s power for a deliverance ready to be revealed at the Last Time,” CJB.

Do I Need Faith?

Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” KJV. “And without trusting, it is impossible to be well pleasing to God, because whoever approaches him must trust that he does exist and that he becomes a rewarder to those who seek him out.” CJB.

Reward: Reward is to give something to, in return; to bestow, a taken or favor upon. That which is given in return for achievement or services; for the recovery of something lost, a reward for capturing or detecting a criminal.

We Need To Use Faith To Access Our Reward

We must learn to discern the difference between flesh and spirit, so that we can more easily access the blessings of God.

Galatians 5:16-23 “What I am saying is this: run your lives by the Spirit. Then you will not do what your old nature wants. For the old nature wants what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit wants what is contrary to the old nature. These oppose each other, so that you find yourselves unable to carry out your good intentions. But if you are led by the Spirit, then you are not in subjection to the system that results from perverting the Torah into legalism. And it is perfectly evident what the old nature does. It expresses itself in sexual immorality, impurity and indecency; involvement with the occult and with drugs; in feuding, fighting, becoming jealous and getting angry; in selfish ambition, factionalism, intrigue and envy; in drunkenness, orgies and things like these. I warn you now as I have warned you before: those who do such things will have no share in the Kingdom of God! But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, self control. Nothing in the Torah stands against such things.”  CJB.

Galatians 6:7, “Don’t delude yourselves: no one makes a fool of God! A person reaps what he sows,” CJB.

When we sow to the flesh we reap a worsen stat of corruption in our lives.

Matthew 6:33, “But seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” CJB.            

When we access our faith and sow to the spirit we find means to receive what we desire.

We Have To Detect The Criminal

Every time you take a thought captive and put it under the sub-mission of Christ and take down every high things that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, then you have detected and captured the criminal – satan! – God wants to reward you!!! The enemy is the one who comes to kill, steal and destroy your faith.

-          We can come short in gifts by refusing Chris’s Testimony in use and not detecting and removing the enemy in our life! 1 Corinthians 1:4-8, “I thank my God always for you because of God’s love and kindness given to you through the Messiah Yeshua, in that you have been enriched by him in so many ways, particularly in power of speech and depth of knowledge. Indeed, the testimony about the Messiah has become firmly established in you; so that you are not lacking any spiritual gift and are eagerly awaiting the revealing of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. He will enable you to hold out until the end and thus be blameless on the Day of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah” CJB.

Mark 3:27, “No one can enter a strong mans house and plunder his goods, unless he fist binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his goods,” KJV.

2 Corinthians 10:5, “Casting down argument and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,” KJV.

There Is No Formula To Faith

Just Do It! & Prove It

What are you goals? What do you want God to Do? What do you want in the natural that is legitimate? A dad I know lets his daughter have what she ask for if she can convince him why.

Mark 11:22-24, “Have faith in God. For assuredly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have what he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you will have them” KJV.

Keys to having your faith answered.

  1. Have Faith
  2. Don’t Doubt
  3. Believe
  4. Ask
  5. Pray

The things that we want in the natural is not our goal, If it is our goal then we try and find carnal ways to make it happen. There is no eternal value. Our earthly goals should be our reward for diligently seeking to do the Fathers will. It is less stressful and has eternal value because God is the provider and builder.

Girl I got you! (Poem) by Jeramiah GIehl

•2009/10/23 • Leave a Comment

When you worry and fret

Don’t fret, you can bet

Girl I got you!

When you stand and feel like you’re going to fall

Like you’re only two feet tall at the edge of a cliff

Girl I got you!

When you’re at the end of your rope

Look up and hope in this

Girl I got you!

If the weight is to heavy

I will spot you

Girl I got you!

You wonder why things happen the way they do

You see the past and hope in the future, bet!

Girl I got you!

Forget not the day of small beginnings

Despise not the trials

Girl I got you!

Because what the enemy meant for harm

I will turn and use for your good

Girl I got you!

The devil up in your grill and you feel you can’t take him down

Like Krav Maga, girl I’m taking him down

Girl I got this!

Devil get back, I hits,

Every single syllable I spit brought you into this

Girl I got this!

What you don’t think I got this

Faint not and don’t get weary in all your doing

Girl I got this!

And you know when your boy is bugging

I got this, devil stepping up I got hits

Girl I got this!

When you fall, look up

Get up, stand up

Girl I got this!

Girl, I got this and I got you… get up… and be about it…

Gods got you…

The Dew of Hermon

•2009/10/23 • Leave a Comment

The Dew of Hermon

Dew is a fresh thing, it smell good in the morning.

God is doing a new thing; really He’s just restoring an old truth in a new way.

When the Brethren Learn to Dwell in Unity!

Psalms 133:1-3

 1.  Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to DWELL TOGETHER in unity!

 2.  It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

3.      As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life forevermore.

  • How does God feel about unity?
  • What does it mean to dwell together?
  • What does it mean that it’s like the Dew of Hermon?
  • Is fellowshipping and living with your Christian family and option

 What would really happen if Gods people learned to dwell together in unity?

Acts 2:42-47

 42.  And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

 43.  And fear came upon every soul: and the apostles did many wonders and signs.

 44.  And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

 45.  And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

 46.  And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

47.    Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

  • What does it mean they continued steadfastly and continuing daily with one accord in the temple and in fellowship?
  • How is it that they were able to all believe together and have all things common?  Even those that they disliked
  • They had all things in common, what do you think that tells us we should do for each other?
  • What can we do to become a church that breaks bread from house to house on a regular basis?

          If only we could be like the church of the Book of Acts we would see God do what he wants to do. Can we be that church, can we be that people? The real question is are we willing to give up all that we have to serve others? Our love is a self-love we have never learned to love like Jesus but that’s what he is asking us to do. How do we do it, what must we do to be like Jesus? It is hard process to love like Jesus loved.

The CRY OF THE LOST is FELLOWSHIP, TRUE COVENANT FELLOWSHIP. Everybody is looking for the manifestation of the sons of God, those who will live and obey Gods’ word in love.

My story…

I didn’t know how to love.

I was seeking love and peace but it all ended up in pain and depression.

My parents never loved each other, they always argued and fought. They didn’t communicate. So I never learned how to love my mom forced me to follow the Jehovah’s Witness code and my dad was an abusive alcoholic who did drugs.

The only time I think that I loved someone was when I was engaged. That was a selfish love too, its was all about me. We were living together outside of marriage serving each other’s wants. Not loving each other like we should.

My love is a selfish love – its all about what I can get and what I want never about what I can do for you or how I can serve you.

Romans 8:39, “Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” 

God’s love is so unfathomable

        I cannot understand Gods love. He died for you and me. He loved Judas even though he was going to have him killed. He loved Peter even though we was going to betray him three times. He loved us even though we would sin, cuss at him and turn our backs on him. I cannot fathom the height, depth or width of Gods love. But we need God to teach us to love. We need God to change us and help us to love and understand His love

  • How do you think we can more effectively experience and express Gods love?

John 13:34, “A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”

John 15:13, “ Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

  • What is true love? What is true love willing to do? Are you willing to fulfill true love?

Real Love

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

 1.  Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

 2.  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

 3.  And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profits me nothing.

 4.  Love is longsuffering, and is kind; love does not envy; love is not vain, is not puffed up,

 5.  Does not behave rudely, nor seeks it own, it is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;

 6.  Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

 7.  Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

 8.  Love never fails: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there are tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

 9.  For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

 10.  But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

 11.  When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

 12.  For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face-to-face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13.    And now abide in faith, hope and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

  • How can love be longsuffering and kind with those who spitefully use us and attack us?
  • What does it mean to show love that does not envy; that isn’t vain and isn’t puffed up?

        God love does not behave rudely, nor seeks it own, it is not easily provoked and thinks no evil of others, in essence God love is naive in a sense. While it acknowledges the truth that people lie and cheat, God love is supposed to believe, pray for and hope for the best.

  • So how do we express this trait more effectively?

        True Love does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. True love sees past the current circumstance and is willing to tough it out because they are committed to their brothers in sisters in Christ.

  • How can we each as individuals show more commitment to maintaining Covenant Relationship when confronted with hard circumstance in relationships?

Real Love Acts

Matthew 9:35-38

35.  And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

 36.  But when he saw the multitudes, he was MOVED with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

 37.  Then he said to his disciples, the harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few;

38.    Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.

  • What’s it mean when scripture says that Jesus was MOVED with compassion? What do you think it meant?
  • What can we do to love people enough that we too are moved with compassion to GO?

Talk is cheap, don’t just say it show it

James 2:14-19

 14.  What does it profit, my brethren, though a man says he has faith, and does not have works? can faith save him?

 15.  If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

 16.  And one of you says to them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding you do not give him those things, which are needful to the body; what does it profit?

 17.  Even so faith, if it has not works, it is dead, being alone.

 18.  Yea, a man may say, I have faith, and I have works: show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

 19.  You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

  • What does real love do?

Missouri the Show Me State

        This is the cry of this generation. Show me your love; show me your works, if you say you’re a Christian and you love me, show it. Let me see the fruit.  We must see it to believe it. People just want Christians to drop the religion be real with them and love them for who they are. However we do not really love them we only evangelize out of obligation. We must love them enough to live with them so that we can have an opportunity to lead them to the waters of life.

  • What does everyone in the world want? How can we give it to them? 

Mathew 7:20, “Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.”

God Help Us To Love

John 17 – Father, Helps us to become one as you and Jesus are one!

        Father, our loves is so selfish we do not know how to enter into your covenant of love and truly be selfless. Please teach us to love, help us to be able to understand the height and depth of your love. Help us to experience your love so that we can express your love. Lord, help us to have that selfless love. We need to know your love, for you are love so that we can be love to those around us. Lord, Teach us to have a selfless love! Its hard to love people like you love them but helps us to love them like you do!

Matthew 16:24, “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”

I Never Knew

By Sondra Giehl

I never knew love could be this good.

I never knew a love like this.

I never knew a man like you.

I never knew a kiss could be so sweet.

I never knew someone could hold me so close.

I never knew the warmth from your embrace could be so calming.

I never knew a man so sweet.

I never knew I could be so protected and safe.

I never knew a home away from you.

I never knew these things until I met you.

The Digital Divide (Has The Internet Changed How You Communicate?)

•2009/09/12 • Leave a Comment

The Internet & Web – Critical Thinking

  1. 1.       Has the Internet changed the way that you communicate with
    1. a.      your friends and family,

Yes, with the many social networking sites I can stay in touch with friends and family, more easily, information is easier to share, its easier to find old friends and fine new ones. Let’s look at some examples. FaceBook is a useful site in which I can keep up with friends, post pictures, play games, poke, tag, message and connect with old high school chums, people with similar interests. Twitter makes it so I am able to post updates and stay up to day with my friends and music industry people, direct message friends instead of text messaging them, I can post up links to pictures of my son or to links that interest me. MySpace makes me able to promote music, connect with people, and promote events. Flicker is a good site for picture sharing with friends and family. Another site I use is .Ning which you can create your own social network with forums, messages boards, chat and allow people to set up profiles and create you own interactive community. I also, like to blog so I use WordPress because I like its functionality I used to use BlogSpot but its not as user friendly. Paypal is a way you can send money without having to go to a MoneyGram location you can have it sent directly to your bank. With eBay and Craigslist you can find products that are local or bid on a product. In this digital world, between Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, iGoogle and all of the other social network sites, I don’t have to write and mail letters, pay for postage or even pick up a phone.

  1. b.       work on school assignments,

I like to use the web for its variety or search resources, you can connect with college and school research departments, along with sites like Google, Wikipedia, Webster and other sites we can find a variety of information from personal perspectives to well documented resources.

  1. c.      research and compare products?

It’s a good way to find the best price, compare price, and find the cheapest place to find a product. PriceGrabber is a great site for comparing prices from multiples sites. There are many sites for finding good prices on travel, hotel, flight, car rental, etc…

  1. d.      If so, how?

You are also able to communicate on a global scale, in countries like Zimbabwe they have embarked on programs of providing all children with their own small laptop so they can learn connect with others through WiFi made available by satellite sites. Also in Kenya they use cell phone to wire money in much the same way as MoneyGram would be used here. The use of the Internet, Smartphone’s, iPhones, etc  have replaced pagers, writing letters, text message and personal face to face communication.

How do you think it will impact these activities in the future?

Between mobile technology that you can use to take with you, remove paperwork, makes things more traceable, with GPS, WiFi, Cell-Phones, we are growing in our connectivity and ability to communicate.

  1. 2.       Are you aware of a so-called “Digital Divide“—
    1. a.      The difference between individuals that use computers and those that do not?

The amount of information you’re able to share and people you can communicate with, you have digital people or analog people.

  1. b.       Do you think there really is a Digital Divide? Cite examples.

Yes, I’m not sure what its like for people without all the connectivity. If you not digital I’m not sure what your experience is like. Many avoid the web for security concerns.

  1. c.      What can be done to bridge this divide? Explore http://digitaldivide.org for further information.

Education and access: making things available to learn, free community courses, public library access. There should be many ways to connect and learn and access. It’s more a matter of desire. For example my father chooses to live in a small town and stay unplugged because he doesn’t want his personal information out there. As for me I’m plugged in and online. Always on my SmartPhone using different apps to connect with Twitter, Facebook, Myspace and Blog RSS readers.

Jin The Emcee going Gospel?

•2009/09/03 • Leave a Comment

Jin The Emcee, known for signing with DMX’s Ruff Ryders, and being a 106 Park freestyle friday champ, along with battle rapper and underground emcee. Or you may remember his pro Obama track “Open Letter To Obama” that was featured on Barack Obama’s official myspace page. Jiyeah. It was obvious in the song Jin’s respect for religion and faith in Jesus Christ.

Jin’s always been relevant, dealt with issues in the pop, the Tsunami situation with Hot 97, Rossie O’Donnell disrespecting Asians, the V-Tech massacre. Well know he looks to be joining the Light Club, Doing Ministry and Spitting For Christ.

This is a ill move for a dope emcee. I’ve been feeling and praying for him, since I’ve heard his music and watched his career moves and decisions I believed Christ had a plan for him. Its awesome to see. Pray for our new brother.

He’s getting with Christ. Check out the ministry he was involved with of his Facebook page and check out this blog from I Am Golden State Vic about Jin the Emcee @ http://www.iamgoldenstate.com/blog/music/jin-the-next-christian-rapper/. Vic has this to say about Jin “I don’t know what to make of the song. It “sounds” like a song a new believer would make, but to be totally honest… I can’t call it. If he did truly repent of his sins, and through his mouth/lifestyle confess Jesus as his savior I hope he doesn’t get sucked into the quagmire known to some as “Christian Hip Hop”. I can just see it now, someone in the Christian Hip Hop circle gets a hold of his number and next thing we know he’s on some cheeseball’s mixtape screaming, “When i say Jesus, you say Christ!” . I just hope he doesnt get turned off by some of the corniness in CHH, thats all. I wish him the best. Hopefully someone like Propaganda or a kat like muzeONE gets to him first.

Opening sometime in May, Noah’s Ark is an actual museum/learning center (built to scale according to the measurements from the Bible) located on an island near Hong Kong.


God sent this man to rescue me and for that reason I am forever grateful. My brother in Christ, spiritual leader and overall friend, Jaeson Ma.

 

Jaeson and co. are working on a full length film/documentary called 1040 which explores the history of Christianity in Asia and the direction it’s heading in. Amazing stuff! I had the privilege of being interviewed for it.

The origin of The Mystery Religion & its connection to Egypt and Shiite Muslims.

•2009/09/02 • Leave a Comment

I’ve done a lot of research and found that the Freemason / Oddfellows / Skull and Bones & other related fraternal organization, all can be traced to the worship of Mithras which is the worship of the Sun God, which is where the “lodge” or underground cave or tavern came from. They believed that the Sun came out of a rock and was received by shepherds. Mithras worship came from the Egyptian worship of Horis (the Sun god), Isis (the goddess of fertility, the eternal virgin mother, the queen of heaven) and Osiris (their father god). The Greeks took Horus and changed him into their Sun-god Helios and Isis they made Dionysus etc. Its all paganism and false god worship, it was part of the ruling party of Rome and had came came down through Persia threw the Arya, or spiritual people of Iran. Many of whom migrated to India to start Hinduism & later monks went to China & start Buddism from a traveling Hindu monk who pasted his knowledge unto a martial art monestary that the Shaolin temple was born.
Quote from wikipedia, “Vedic Mitra and Avestan Mithra derive from an Indo-Iranian common noun *mitras, generally reconstructed to have meant “covenant, treaty, agreement, promise.” This meaning is preserved in Avestan mithra “covenant.” In Sanskrit and modern Indo-Aryan languages, mitra =mans “friend,” one of the aspects of binding and alliance. The name mithra was adopted by the Greeks and Romans as Mithras, chief figure in the mystery religion of Mithraism. At first identified with the Sun-god Helios by the Greeks, the syncretic Mithra-Helios was transformed into the figure mithras during the 2nd century BC, probably at Pergamon. This new cult was taken to Rome around the 1st century BC and was dispersed throughout the Roman Empire. Popular among the Roman military, Mithraism was spread as far north as Hadrian’s Wall and the Germanic Limes. The Mithraic Mysteries or mysteries of Mithras (also Mithraism) was a mystery religion practiced in the Roman Empire (1st to 4th centuries CE), best attested in Rome and Ostia, Britain and in the provinces along the Rhine and Danube frontier. Roman religion was an outgrowth of an Iranian one, there would have to be evidence of Mithraic-like practices attested in Greater Iran.”
During the foundation of the early church the Romans tried to blend the ideas of Mithras with the Roman Catholic Church but the church rejected that at first, “Evaluation of the relationship of early Christianity with Mithraism has traditionally been based on the polemical testimonies of the 2nd century Church fathers, such as Justin’s accusations that the Mithraists were diabolically imitating the Christians.” The Mythras worship pre-dated Christianity. They only had similarities that one could use to manipulate and distort the truth. When Rome made Roman Catholicism the official religion of Rome they blended Mythras worship with Christian doctrine. They didn’t just blend any pagan religion but that of Mythras and capitalized on the similarities of the two.

The connection with the freternal lodge movements started when the Knights Templar converted to Shiite Islam and Mithra worship. I found a quote about the time of Daniel that the King of Persia was saying he was “an Aryan of Aryan decent,” it the statement is close to the time that the book of Daniel was written and we know that in Daniel 9-10 it says that the Archangel had to fight the Prince of Persia and it took 21 days to get to Daniel to answer his prayer.
Satan is the prince of the air. The bible refers to The King of Persia in Daniel who would have been Lucifers principality over Persia. Mithra worship was tied to Iranian (Aryan) culture which also was part of the bedowine / middle eastern culture and still is today. Persia is where Iran, Pakistan and India are today, Iran means “the dwelling of the Aryans” or the spiritual people. It was believed that the Arya or Aryans are the angels thrown down to the earth who landed in Northern Europe among the Nordic people or the area around Germany (where Hitler got his mystery blood religion that spanned Nazi Germany was from this same principle, Hitler was involved in the “lodge” movement in Germany when he formed his Aryan ideals) when Satan was cast to the earth and they migrated to Indo-Iran-Eurasia in the second heavens. That is the area between India and Iran, the Tibetan monks of Indo-China and the leaders of the New Age are part of the New World Order and the mystery relgion of Arya. Those behind free Tibet and the Tibetan Monks are the same that believe that the 12 Imam of Islam is going to come and bring peace to the chaos that the President of Iran plans to bring to the middles east as a “savior” the truth is he’s a anti-Christ and God will show himself to the descendents of Ishmael and they will leave Israel alone for awhile after this but USSSR, India or China or all three will finally come to fight in the battle of the valley of Megiddo. We need to stop the blood for oil in Iraq and stop the land for peace talks in Israel.

We know that the Knights Templar tie their roots to Egypt and the building of the pyramids and Hyrum Abif, the builder of Solomons Temple whom the freemasons reenact the murder of in the initiation rights. They claim to be connected to Egyptology and Christianity. Two oppossing religions.
As King Solomon said nothing new is under the sun. that brought down Egypt, Persian, Greece, Rome, Aztecs, Miyans, Incans, Spain, England will bring done the US as “WORLD POWER.” 2012 isn’t the end of the world but will signify the end of the American Empire.
They are major players like the Rockefellers and others who have and are funding the capitalist take over of the world with the World Bank lending money to countries and putting them indebt to make them slaves just like Egypt did to the Israelites who came to Egypt with Gold and riches and were forced to change their gold for wooden coins with the Scarab beetle on it what the Egyptians that was the closest thing to god. Beelzebub means lord of the Flies aka Lord of the Dungbettles. Our money is no longer based on gold and debit aka credit is given freely to enslave people. The borrower is slave to the lender. He who controls the debt controlls the policy makers. Free market and Capitalism was started by the worlds first international trading and banking company the Knights Templar who later enfolded into the Freemasons who one of their 33 levels is the Knights Templar along with the Illuminati and other groups. The Knights Templar where the first multi-national bank and corporation that many were killed on Friday the 13th by the Roman Catholic church in Europe. Thou they we’re a fraternal order ordained by the pope within the Catholic Church the church tried to extinguish them because they we’re gaining more influence and power than the Roman Catholic Church.
