INDIA’S SUPREME COURT ORDERS ENQUIRY INTO
ANTI-CHRISTIAN RIOTS


India’s Supreme Court has ordered the state government in Orissa to outline
the steps it is taking to halt violence against Christians that has displaced
over 10,000 people. Thousands are now sheltering under police guard in seven
camps after a wave of brutal attacks that have already left 16 dead. Yesterday
one of these camps was besieged by a Hindu mob of 1,000 people, prompting the
Supreme Court to order the deployment of four more police battalions. The
central government has refrained from intervening, prompting condemnation from
the Pope and the Italian government. A Christian lawyer at Orissa High Court
said Orissa state has failed time and again to protect its Christian minority.
In part, the violence seems to be a reaction to conversions to Christianity
amongst the lowest castes and their determination to become eligible for better
jobs.

Blair Wingo her poem "let me introduce the Christ..."

We’ve got a False Jesus being portrayed. As seen on TV, acting cool….you see he’s changed.

A different Jesus from the Bible so…allow me to bring the real Christ
on stage. Not that whack Jesus, the one not based on fact Jesus, too
often displayed. The Christ in Glory, not the one on your chain.

Because he’s the real Jesus Peace that only dwells in the saved. So
allow me to paint the picture of Christ in the Scripture preaching
faith and repentance that your too cool Jesus….never seems to mention.
It seems like he’s down with all the things that you do. But come on,
there’s only one Jesus who is true. So which one will you let reign
over you? Who?

The Millionaire Jesus who just wants to make you rich? Give you some
ice, fame, money, to prove that you are blessed? The Black Panther
Jesus who throws up his black fist. The ‘Kan…Ye…West’ Jesus who walks
with no Holiness. Which one will you choose? I said….Which one will you
choose?

So I think it is long overdo to have a re-introduction of Christ. So
there won’t be any confusion as to which one is right, because one
leads to death, and the other IS life! So allow me to, re-introduce the
Christ. Allow me to, re-introduce the Christ. I said allow me to
re-introduce the Christ! He’s been distorted by the people and IT JUST
AIN’T RIGHT!

Allow me to re-introduce the Christ. Not someone you can pimp around to
propel your cause. Or a name you can proclaim just to cover your flaws.
Look if this is true then you’re serving a different Boss. Your Christ
is an idol and you’re probably lost.

Because Christ in the scripture? He gave a call to forsake all. Not to
wear a cross but to take up your cross and follow Him. Because we’re
holding a death sentence because of our sin. And it’s His Mercy that His wrath hasn’t burned times ten. Just like Sodom and Gomorrah but a curse within. You see He gives us a chance to learn of Him!

So that He can be glorified in His rightful place. So if we’re serving
this imitation Jesus, dude, it’s like a blatant slap in the face,
distorting His grace and disregarding His sacrifice. For a worldly
Christ, like the ‘Purpose Driven Life’ Jesus, who prophesied you’ll be
used by him before you’re living like Jesus.

Or that S.A.T. Jesus who helps you with all your quizzes, gets you into
college, allows you to pass math and physics, the homosexual Jesus who
doesn’t see you sinning. The ‘Destiny’s Child’ Jesus who sees your
BeyoncĂ© and starts grinning. Which one will you choose? I said…which
one will you choose?

So I think it is long overdue to have a re-introduction of Christ. So
there won’t be any confusion as to which one is right, because one
leads to death, and the other IS life! So allow me to.. re-introduce
the Christ.

Allow me to … re-introduce the Christ. He’s been distorted by the people and IT JUST AIN’T RIGHT!

So allow me to re-introduce the Christ.

Not someone that we can cover His mouth, so we can continue our nose in
the dirt, so He doesn’t require us to repent of all sins, to be born
again, to never blend in with this world, and Broadway is the street
that walks the Material Girl, she’s got you seduced, she feeds you a
phony Jesus that doesn’t want to save you from your sins but wants
to…”Kick it with you.”

Like…”Jesus is my Homeboy”..or “Jesus got me employed” or “Jesus is my
Decoy”, But will the real Jesus please stand up? The ONE who is TRUE!
Because He’s been, knocked down, pushed down, and these idols come in,
he wrecked it up, he wrecked it up to the point that if the real Jesus
came back right now…Dude, the Church would probably hang Him upside
down! Pin Him to one of these beams and crucify Him again. Because he’s
not down with your sin! And it hurts me to see how the Church will
defend their lifestyle. Like, Wow! Don’t we want to know Christ? The
one who willingly gave His life to set us free from our sin you see.

And I must do this by ANY means necessary. See, I must NEVER hide the
LIGHT! So tonight, I’m going to introduce Jesus Christ. I said I’m
going to introduce Jesus Christ because He’s been distorted by the
people and IT JUST AIN’T RIGHT! So I’m going to introduce Jesus Christ
because one day…Dude…. He is coming back and it’s important that you
recognize Him because the scripture talks about that.

Many people saying….”I’m Jesus….No, I’m Jesus…No, I’m Jesus” But which
one is fact? And you got to get into the Bible to see about that, that
He’s coming in the clouds with Power and Glory, and every knee will
bow, testify to His authority. So this Jesus of the scripture better
take priority, not the one that’s accepted every where by the majority,
when He Himself said the world would hate Him! So why all of a sudden
does the world want to date Him? Think about it.

Hopefully you haven’t given in to this ‘Come as you are, stay as you
are’ Jesus. ‘He has this wonderful plan for my Life’ Jesus, ‘You don’t
need repentance’ Jesus…or ‘All roads lead to Jesus.’ I hope you haven’t
given in to this, but you serve the One who is Holy. Because it will be
something if on Judgement day the Jesus you’ve been serving was simply
an angel of light, which covered a legion of demons masquerading as
Christ. All this time serving a Jesus who’s not been pierced at his
feet and the wrists, who has no sword coming out of his mouth, No rod
of Righteousness! To go on day by day by day, and willingly MISS
because we’re serving a created image that leads you to the Abyss.

So lets get into scripture, so we’re not fooled by this Jesus who when
were sinning he’s still with us, Won’t get into this Jesus that the
world loves, and he’s cool with your worldly music, worldly TV, you
going to the club, your sex, your lies, your vanity, your phony love,
the very thing that caused Christ in the scripture to shed blood.

So let’s make sure we’re serving the right Christ, not a wolf in
sheep’s clothing that’s got you enticed. The TRUE ONE, want to make you
new ONE, The ONLY begotten SON!

So I think it’s long overdue for you to be introduced tonight. Everybody help me welcome…Jesus Christ!

Holiday club photos


Andrew and Dave have been working hard on daily dvd's and photos. See here for the Tuesday photos of Holiday club.

CS Colorado


Its a dry land when its left alone. Don't get me wrong I like what the planners have done with the lattice of roads and the retail squares and housing estates dropped in to these lattices. I can not get over the difference from the dry countryside and the forced green pastures around the concrete estates and roads that is watered, at cool moments, by underground pipes.

What would be barren and dry turns out to be healthy growth allowing more people to live in an environment more akin to Scotland than Cheyenne country.

Cheyenne Country, would you believe with all the construction and roads with retail parks its no wonder their is little sight of the Indians. (accept for the dance routine at Manitou dwellings on the west side of Colorado Springs carried out by drafted southern indians for the tourists.)

I picked up in the news, on my return, that a great brown bear had broken in to the " Ciricuit City" electrical superstore and set off the alarms its no surprise that nature and progress meet head to head in theis part of the country where land reclamation is essential.

Driving on the right side does take a bit to get used to but once you settle in there seems more time to make your manovers as the roads are long and wide.

Dave was keen to see some photos from Colorado Springs so here we are!

Baptists in Helmsdale in the 16th century

I have been informed that a book published in November 2007 indicates that as well as baptist being in Leith, Ayr and Perth at the time of Cromwell, that there is a strong case that English baptists were in Helmsdale at a garrison around 1650.

I would appreciate any information that would tell us a bit more about these soldiers in the North of Scotland... 200 years before the disruption.

Batch processing

If I can get back to blogging a bit more frequently then I would want to batch my processing like others. Even in a work situation I would batch process.

1 Do all the telephone calls out in a time block.
2 read the feeds at a block time.
3 Allocate thinking time in a period of time during the week.

Great to be organised?


What other batch processing can be done

Willow creek turn around


After modeling a seeker-sensitive approach to church growth
for three decades, Willow Creek Community Church now plans to gear its weekend
services toward mature believers seeking to grow in their faith.


The change comes on the heels of an ongoing four-year research
effort first made public late last summer in Reveal: Where Are You?, a
book coauthored by executive pastor Greg Hawkins. Hawkins said during an annual
student ministries conference in April that Willow Creek would also replace its
midweek services with classes on theology and the Bible. More details here.

GOOD NEWS

YOUTH PROJECT SEES CRIME PLUMMET
A Christian-led education project has won a National Youth Justice award after it slashed youth crime in a London borough by 58.5 per cent year-on-year. The Spark2Life programme received the team award for making an ‘outstanding contribution to tackling youth crime’ at this year’s Criminal Justice System (CJS) awards. Youth worker Dez Brown developed the programme in Wandsworth schools with the backing of police and the local education authority. Linked to school citizenship and PSHE courses, it combined a keynote talk with classroom sessions and a mentoring scheme in 13 schools. Following this success, Mr Brown hopes to take the programme to other boroughs and cities.

Tall Skinny Kiwi says:

Absolutely awful to hear of the shooting at the YWAM base in Denver. 9News says two dead (pictured), one critical, another inured and the 80 other missionaries moved to Golden for the time being. Youth With a Mission is a great mission organization and I have had the priviledge of teaching on many of their training bases, but not Denver. Our prayers are with the families of those involved and the other missionaries. Avarda police are working hard to find the suspect.

Update: Apparently, the gunman at both Colorado shootings, Matthew Murray, was once enrolled in a DTS at YWAM but was let go for "health" reasons. ChristianPost has the skinny and Benediction is looking at it also. Technorati Tags: ywam

How to gather the masses

I thought it interesting that when in America a couple of years ago a Church leader was advocating that the church takes to much energy trying to make the church attractive when in fact if there were obstacles for people to get to church it would be in the long term more fruitful.
The age of attractive church might be over. How do we change the culture if we are touching a church centred image when we should be flavouring the world.

Sometime you need to stand on your head to see a different point of view.

New beginnings

I have often seen the "new beginnings" statement in organisations including churches. What does that mean? Is it a call to shake off what has reduced the effectiveness of ministry?

Most in church circles acknowledge that traditionalism is dead and will not survive but how does one keep alive that which should be growing and developing.?

How does the streams of living water continue to flow when there is stagnation and dams blocking the flow.

It takes wise council to move matters forward.
Some times rushing can be counter productive sometimes waiting too long means a lost opportunity.

What are the answer keys to these questions?
