Christ is Max Poppin

“… and the church be the function” – G-Shock

Santi and I had to take the train from church last Sunday. My car broke down a couple a weeks ago. It’s leaking water and I have to fill it up with about a gallon of water every day. My mechanic says it may be the water pump or radiator. Either way I can’t fix it now because it’s out of my budget. In the meantime I’ve been taking the train to P4CM. Last Sunday was really cool because I got to stay for the men’s discipleship and my son joined me. We then got to fellowship on the way back home which was an awesome experience. He told me he had a good time. I think I might just take the train ride next time even if my car is fixed.

Genome Head believes in God

I have to give credit to my good old atheist buddy. He inspired this post. I love the youtube description for this video.
While Dawkins, Hitchens and Harris talk science and do nothing in science those that lead in SCIENCE like Dr. Francis Collins end up believing in God. Dr Francis Collins (Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute) explains why he believes in a personal God and how his faith is compatible with science.

Beware of Scammers!

Atheist Group, Freedom From Religion Foundation, Running Amuck Again

Published by DaSouth.com on Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 4:41 pm

Again the atheist group Freedom From Religion based in Madison, Wisconsin is making another attempt to halt free exercise of faith in America. This group has filed a lawsuit to abolish the National Day of Prayer, which will be commemorated in 2010 on May 6. This group of atheists/agnostics claim that the National Day of Prayer, which has been an organized yearly event in our Nation since 1952, creates a “hostile environment” for nonbelievers and that it violates the First Amendment.

You and I are aware that this day of prayer clearly does not violate the First Amendment, neither does it create a so-called hostile environment, as this day is strictly voluntary and it is open to people of all faiths, who may freely elect to be involved or not.

The great patriot Alexander Hamilton said in the heat of the American Revolution, “We must stand for something...or we will fall for anything.” Now is the time to stand up and be counted for the Lord Jesus Christ.
What can you do? Two specific things:

1) E-mail the White House at www.whitehouse.gov/contact and let them know your firm support for the National Day of Prayer

2) Contact your U.S. Senator at www.senate.gov and Member of the U.S. House of Representatives at www.house.gov

Most importantly as we take action we pray for the atheists in this organization as well as other misguided people who seek to block freedom in America as opposed to foster and encourage it.

Ravens Debut New Jersey Patch

Posted by Mike Duffy on Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 at 11:00 am | Categories: Mike Duffy

The Ravens have a new patch on their practice jerseys that is an homage to the Biblical story of Nehemiah.

Featuring the ubiquitous Ravens shield in the middle, a shovel and sword are crossed behind it in an “X” fashion.

The shovel and sword call to mind the building of a foundation, a story Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told earlier this year.

Nehemiah was a high official in the Persian court of King Artaxerxes I at the capital city of Susa in what is now modern Iran. Nehemiah served as the king’s cupbearer, but went as provincial governor of Judah to Jerusalem to lead in the repair of the city’s wall.

At the same time, he set up guards to defend against the threat of neighboring armies of Samaria, the Ammonites and the Ashdodites, hence the sword (building and battling) and the shovel (building and sacrificing). According to Nehemiah 4:14-19, the wall was rebuilt within 52 days and the men were not harmed by opposing forces. Harbaugh even brought out a real sword and shovel in the Ravens’ locker room after defeating the Oakland Raiders, 21-13, last week to earn a postseason spot.

Throughout the season, the Ravens aspired to be ready to fight, but also constantly fortified and supported themselves.

The Ravens previously had a patch of a flexed biceps holding a hammer on their practice jerseys, signifying full participation in the offseason conditioning program.
