The Bereans report on "Apostasy Today"

A very good and compelling article by Hunt and McMahon of Berean Call.  In this article it shows the slide the magazine "Christianity Today" made from liberalism to blasphemy.  Also it gives you a look at Billy Graham that you are not aware of.  I want to warn you that if you love Billy Graham or "Christianity Today" then the chance are strong that you will be offended.  However shouldn't we be seeking what is true rather than look for material that caters to our feelings and preferences?  If someone objects to my approach I can show how we are to expose the deeds of darkness. (Yes, with love, but with truthfulness also.)  Here is the link below:

Just when you thought it was safe tol rebel

When ever we think of jealousy we usually think of it in negative terms, and rightfully so.  Jealousy often involves intense emotions irregardless if it is expressed by God or a human.  However what would you think if told you that jealousy has a positive side to it?  If you have read the Bible enough you will come across passages that describe God as a "jealous God".  (See Exodus 20:5-6.  See also Joel 2:18 and Zec. 1:14).  Let me pull something from a book by Lawrence O. Richards called "Expository Dictionary of Bible Words"-  "The strong emotion represented  by qana (the Hebrew word for jealousy) can be viewed positively as a high level of commitment when it describes the feelings of a person for something that is rightly his or her own.  Here 'jealosy' has the sense of intense love.  When applied to God, "jealousy" communicates the fierce intensity of His commitment to His people, even when they turn from Him".  Did you get all that?  God's love for His own is intense!  Who wouldn't want to be loved that strongly?  I would be remiss if I didn't mention that jealousy also involves an intense desire for what is rightfully that person's. So remember, if you read a passage about God being a jealous God, He is asserting ownership over what is rightfully His; be it the Earth or the people of the Earth.  Yes we are God's rather we admit it or not.   Still that it is your body?  Then tell me how much did you pay for that body of yours and where is the proof of purchase for that body of yours?  Since you paid absolutely nothing for your life or your body and all the blessings that come with it you owe God your very being.  He loves you more than you can comprehend! The only way to enjoy God's intense love for you is to accept Jesus Christ the Son of God as Lord and Savior of your life.    "For God so love the world that He sent His only begotten Son that who so ever believed in Him would not perish, but have eternal life."  John 3:16.
