Updated the “Books” page at the top of the blog, maybe an interest to some.

I had several people who are unrelated to one another and actually live in different parts of the country recommend this book, Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters by Meg Meeker.

I have just finished it and I have to say it is an incredible read. Very affirming in many ways and very challenging in other ways.

Some of the chapter titles are include;

• She Needs a Hero
• You are Her First Love
• Teach Her to Fight
• Be The Man You Want Her To Marry
  

It isn’t are hard book to read, but it is very challenging. Give it a try.

There is 1 person with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

There is no one else in the world like me.

With the price of gas around $3.25 a gallon in middle Tennessee, I began thinking about a few ironies.

Why is oil in the ground and under the ocean called a natural resource, but when it is on the ground or in the ocean it is called pollution?

I think about crazy things somethings.

Shout to the Lord: American Idol 10 April 2008 [HD]

Let’s give some credit to the producers of American Idol.

The past few shows have had a tremendous witness for Jesus. The episode featuring Dolly Parton’s songs was filled with references to Jesus and testimonies of Him.

Last nights opening of Hillsong’s “Shout To The Lord” was an awesome witness for the Lord. This show has consistently featured songs about the name and power of Christ. Kudos to the producers and may the power of His name continue to show forth in the world.

(I wonder if this segment will make it in Muslim and Hindu cultures where the show is broadcast?)

A friend (Steven Bush) of ours meet us for a family photo session a few weeks back. We have the finished product and we are pumped about how things turned out.

Bush and his wife Maris are adopting a child and he (Bush) is using his creativity to raise money for the adoption. It was a lot of fun for us as a family. We haven’t had pictures made in years.

The Church of Oprah Exposed
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JW4LLwkgmqA]
This is probably one of the most disturbing videos I have seen. It does not show physical violence or anything sexually offensive but it does show the vast and subtle deception that is taking place in our world today. Beware, it will take about 6 min. to watch the entire video, but you will hear things that contradict the teachings of scripture and the words of Christ. Directly from one of the of America’s most loved daytime host you hear some unbelievably false news about Jesus. We had better wake up.

I read this at another site.

Other Sheep That Are Not of This Fold

Don’t Waste Your Life College Event

But God in his mercy has again and again made clear to his servants that his salvation is not the prerogative of any one group on earth.

Just when the Jewish disciples begin to feel like they are the real select heirs of Abraham, Jesus strikes in John 10:16: “I have other sheep, that are not of this fold”—among the Gentiles.

Just when the early American Puritans were settling in to their “chosen” status as the New Israel in the New England, Jesus said to John Eliot, “I have other sheep that are not of this Puritan fold—among the Algonquin Indians.” And 100 years later to David Brainerd, “I have other sheep that are not of this Congregational fold— among the Susquehanna.”

Just when the Particular Baptists of England were being frozen in the unbiblical ice of hyper-Calvinism, Jesus spoke to William Carey: “I have other sheep that are not of this English fold—in India.”

Just when the mission agencies and churches were growing content with the coastland successes around the world, Jesus stirred up Hudson Taylor, “I have other sheep that are not of this coastal fold—in the middle of China.” And to David Livingston: “In the middle of Africa.”

And just when all of western Christendom began to feel content in the 20th century that every country of the world had been penetrated with the gospel, Jesus came to Cameron Townsend, the founder of Wycliffe Bible Translators, and said, “I have other sheep that are not of this visible worldwide fold—among the hidden tribal peoples, thousands of them with not even a portion of Scripture in their language.”

John 10:16 is the great missionary text in the Gospel of John: I have other sheep that are not of this fold! Every time we start to get comfortable with just us, it is like a thorn in the cushion on the pew. Every time a board of world missions begins to get comfortable with the ten or eleven fields where we are planting churches, John 10:16 is like a bugle call: I have other sheep in thousands of peoples yet unreached by the gospel.
