When reading the word of God we find there are all kinds of walks. There was Enoch's walk:

Genesis 5:22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

There was Noah's walk:

Genesis 6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

The Children of Israel walked through the Red Sea:

Exodus 14:29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

We can walk in sin:

Kings 16:31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.

We can walk in the Truth:

Psalm 26:3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

We even walk in the valley of the shadow of death:

Psalm 24:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

I believe that Pastor Vince has Spirit of the Lord and here he is walking in that spirit looking pretty cool :

Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Give him a high five next time you see him.

Coed Dorms? What Are They Teaching?

After scanning the D&C Sunday, May 4, 2008, I came across an article about colleges allowing coed dorm rooms. What was very distressing was the fact that one of the colleges was Connecticut's Wesleyan University. John Wesley, the founder of Methodism and namesake of the University was a popular preacher and a national leader. So I wanted to know more about this man and what he stood for. The information that was collected from Fox's Book Of Martyrs and is as follows:
He (John Wesley)ascribed it, under God, to the fact that he had always slept soundly, had risen for sixty years at four o'clock in the morning, and for fifty years had preached every morning at five. He preached twice each day, and often thrice or four times. It has been estimated that he traveled every year forty-five hundred English miles, mostly upon horseback.The Wesley fellowship, which after his death grew into the great Methodist Church, was characterized by an almost military perfection of organization. He planned for the mental culture of his traveling preachers and local exhorter's, and for schools of instruction for the future teachers of the Church. He himself prepared books for popular use upon universal history, church history, and natural history. In this Wesley was an apostle of the modern union of mental culture with Christian living.
The question that I asked myself was, is this the future he envisioned for the students of this school that claims "John Wesley, the founder of Methodism and namesake of the University"? This man who worked so hard for Christ, and with faith, prepared the preachers and local exhorter's, and for schools of instruction for the future teachers of the Church!

Jeremiah 32:33 And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.

This article quotes Erik Youngdahl and Michelle Garcia as stating that they have their beds arranged side by side like Ricky and Lucy in I Love Lucy. Wait, weren't Ricky and Lucy married? Then they stated that when one is changing their cloths the other averts their eyes. As a man, I can say confidently that I could not last long in that promise. The peeking started with hide and seek when I was 4.

Mathew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
1 Corinthians 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

Youngdahl also stated "that once you actually live in it, it doesn't turn into a big deal". Now here is some advise from a 20 year old Sophomore, NO BIG DEAL. If its NO BIG DEAL then why does the bible talk about protecting your eyes, staying a virgin until marriage, not committing adultery. I wonder if the leaders of this university believe its NO BIG DEAL I wondered if this university teaches evolution, or if they have banned the BIBLE! So I looked up the president in their web sight to see what he had to say. Michael S. Roth became the 16^th president of Wesleyan University on July 1,2007. Formerly president of California College of the Arts, Roth is known as a historian, curator and author. Roth describes his scholarly interests as centered on "how people make sense of the past" (obviously he thought it to be nonsense). I also looked up some of the Alumni and found some interesting things. Many are film and television directors, news editors, news correspondents, educators, and book writers. Again note, they have many platforms to to state their positions, opinions, and ideas to the world.


Peter 2:1-3 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

The article goes on, some gay students who feel more comfortable rooming with the opposite sex are taking advantage of the option. So this school has a homosexual community. I don't think this school teaches the Word of God. If it did, I would think the homosexual community would avoid it or protest it not enjoy the benefits this school has to offer. Gods word on this matter is a message most of these people would not want to hear.

1Corinthians 6:9 Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

This university is no more than a breeding school for sin. Again Christianity's hands slip down the rope a little more. John Wesley would not be happy or glad that his name is attached to such a place. But we still need to remember that God is in control and we place our faith in him. Jesus Christ will come back and settle all accounts

Matthew 12:36 I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

Please pray for our schools and our educators to teach the things of God. Pray for the parents that accept this sinful behavior. Amen

Remember, Don't Be Silent

Remember that April 30 is the "Day of Silence" so make some noise and preach the Word of God, Amen. Lets pray for the homosexuals to repent and come to salvation.

Luke 5:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

Remind your children that all of us are sinners.

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

But God has open our eyes and removed the scales from them so we can see our sin.

Acts9:17-18 17And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. 18And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

The people that promote these things are under delusion that what they do is right. These events typically are organized by a school's "Gay-Straight Alliance" group, but the event has been promoted throughout its existence by the special interest group, the massively funded Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). This homosexual club will be distributing pamphlets, stickers, and other materials.

Proverbs 10:32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.

The definition of frowardness from the Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language, 1828: Perverseness; reluctance to yield or comply; disobedience; peevishness. These things they say and testify to are not the ways of the Lord Jesus Christ. So again pray for these people, they need our prayers.

1 Thessalonians 5:14-18 14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. 15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 16 Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

April 25, 2008 A Fasting and Prayer Day

April 25, 2008 will be just another day for most of us, but for the children in middle and high schools, and some colleges, they will have to deal with “The Day of Silence” sponsored by GLSEN (Gay Lesbian & Straight Education Network). This day according to them is a day to bring attention to anti-LGBT, name calling and bulling, citing that 4 out of 5 LGBT students experience harassment at school.

On a personal note, I remember when I was in school being harassed by the jocks, I wonder if LGBT’s are being harassed because they are not jocks? I also remember kids ripping my fairy loop off my button down shirts, now that definitely scarred me as a child. I also was a fat kid and was mocked and harassed and called tubby tuba. Funny thing is I never asked for a special day or join a group of fat kids so we could go to school and make them have a pity party for us. Though it did not feel good at the time, it did give me incentive to start working out and exercising while watching what I ate.

GLSEN claims that “The day is a positive educational experience”. Many schools allow students’ participation throughout the day. Some schools ask students to speak as they normally would during class and remain silent during breaks and at lunch. There is no single way to participate, and students are encouraged to take part in the way that is the most positive and uplifting for their school.

My question is will they really be silent? Or will this be another opportunity to tell Christians that we will not tolerate a God who will not tolerate an alternative life style. They believe it will be a positive educational experience. Do the rest of us believe that posturing and cowering to a few outspoken individuals is positive? How is it educational, showing the wickedness of man? GLSEN wants the rest of the world to believe that something so unnatural is natural and ok to practice. But God states clearly that he abhors it.

Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Genesis 18:20-21 20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; 21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.

Genesis 19: 4-7 4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: 5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. 6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, 7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

But we as Christians will turn the other cheek as they get in our face to mock us and our God. We pray to the Lord Jesus Christ to open their eyes and see their sin and ask for forgiveness. We pray for their salvation.

Joel 11-13 11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it? 12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

We ask everyone to fast and pray this day for these people that practice this sin and try to justify and make it not look like sin. God still loves them and would like to see them repent and follow him.

Joel 14-15 14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God? 15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

Let us turn the other cheek this day, April 25, 2008 and pray that Jesus Christ changes their hearts. Amen

Men's Prayer Breakfast March 2008

We would like to thank the men that came to the Men's Prayer Breakfast. It was a blessing to have over 70 men coming together to pray. We thank the Pastors and men of the churches and organizations that came to fellowship together and worship our Lord Jesus Christ.

Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Pastor Vince Messa from Standford, Connecticut preached a powerful message on "As the man is so is his strength". His points of submission, humility, supplication, and sacrifice and how it applies to Christians was a reminder of where our hearts should be. Two men of twelve that came with Pastor Darrell Calhoun from the Salvation Army, Brian Pollard and Tony Schimpff, asked Christ to come into their hearts. We want to welcome them and pray that they will continue to walk with the Lord. Below is a video of the blessed event, enjoy, God Bless.

No Right To Homeschool Children

Friday, March 7, 2008 the San Francisco Chronicle posted a story of a California Appeals Court ruling clamping down on homeschooling by parents without teaching credentials. This will affect 166,000 children as possible truants and their parents at risk of prosecution. The link for the story is http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/03/07/MNJDVF0F1.DTL and you need to read it. This is a prelude to what will eventually be the state having control of your children. Quote from the Judge in a 1961 case "A primary purpose of the educational system is to train school children in good citizenship, patriotism and loyalty to the state and the nation as a means of protecting the public welfare,". And guess who supports this type of reasoning "We're happy," said Lloyd Porter, who is on the California Teachers Association board of directors. "We always think students should be taught by credentialed teachers, no matter what the setting".
Now how did God ever get children educated before the State of California and the California Teachers Association was around to supervise it?

Deuteronomy 4:10 Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.

Deuteronomy 11:19
And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Deuteronomy 31:13 And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

Psalms 106:35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

Daniel 1:17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

Its amazing that we can have President like Abraham Lincoln trained in the home yet today make it illegal. You also do not see teacher associations speaking of the home schooling results compared to the results of their work. Then let us while consider the amount of resources public teachers have. I found some interesting facts about home schooling to look at them all go to this link: http://www.internetcampus.com/plume12.htm

More than three million school-age children are now being home-schooled. The number has been growing at a steady rate.

In 2002, the average SAT score in the United States was 1020. But for home-schooled children the score was 72 points higher.

In 2004, home-schoolers averaged 22.6, on the ACT test while those in regular schools averaged 20.9

However, we need to add that only the most devoted home-schooled children take these tests.

Some well-qualified observers of the educational scene are now openly debating whether for many bright young people public education isn't doing more harm than good.

I know that there will be an appeal and this will go round and round in the courts. I guess we will just have to keep fighting these things until the Lord comes back for us. Let us Pray to the Lord and give thanks that he will preserve his Word. He will be our God and we will be his people. Amen.

Ministry Updates

Today, most of us get up in the morning and either read the paper, listen to the radio, or turn on the television to get our news. There are news reports for all kinds of breaking stories in the Nation, State, and Local areas. The news is on Sports, Politics, Crime, Weather, Road Work, Theater, and even every day Living. Yet the common news throughout the day that we hear seems sanitized. Important issues seem to be hidden, or partially explained. Our Ministries that we support give us information and news that will not be in the typical places where Americans get their news. As Christians supporting Christian Ministries we need to get their news and information through their websites, newsletters, and newspapers and tell others about this news. I like the picture on the Freedoms Alert newspaper. They have Paul Revere on his horse riding and giving the warning the British are coming. In that time period that was how the majority of the news got around from one person to another. The wonderful thing about this today is you still can get the news out by this same method. With the aid of copy machines, fax machines, and email its even more efficient. We need to get the word out on who are the people we vote for, the companies we buy from, and what our governments are planning to do in the future. Support our Ministries, get their news, and email them your support.
