I guess, this blog is a reflection of my personal journey and adventure in what would be best called Christianity. As with many terms, Christianity has earned a reputation that is less than stellar. So many things can be and are attributed to Christianity, most of which are not scriptural.
I have learned to be as Abraham.
- To be submissive even when it doesn’t make sense.
- To be willing to hurt, cry and suffer for the greater good.
- To fall back into the arms of my loving and interested Saviour even when all around me is dark and unresponsive.
- To give God glory in everything. It’s because of Him I witness to those who are lost and it’s because of Him I tie my shoes in the morning.
- I am His slave, bought with a price. I am not my own anymore and I belong, lock, stock and barrel to Him.
To look back at who I was before God decided to enroll me in boot camp is shocking to say the least. I was selfish, egotistical and full of false-doctrine.
I truly believed that I, yes I was in control.
I truly believed that because Jesus was given all power in heaven and earth, the same applied to me.
I believed that I was an extension of the godhead because afterall the Bible does say that we reign with Jesus…right?
And I truly believed that it was God’s obligation to make sure that I was rich, healthy and prosperous in this life. Afterall, I am a child of the King…right?
I realized that I was very much like this horse, thinking I was on the right track but unbeknownst to me, I was heading for destruction. I can look back now and safely say that I wasn’t even saved. I didn’t understand what it meant to be saved. I wasn’t told that I was in complete rebellion with God. I wasn’t told about my willful anarchy. I wasn’t told that MY sin saturated the body of the sinless lamb. No one ever told me that my constant sinning was trampling the Son of God into the dirt! I was told that I was a good boy. I was told all about heaven and how wonderful it would be to go there one day. I was told about all the perks that came with Christianity. Not once was I ever informed about my sin, rebellion, ego, pride and the fact that I DESERVED HELL!!! If anyone had told me that way back in 1983, I probably would have turned right around and sat down. Instead I recited a few well-written phrases, was given a New Testament Bible and was declared a Christian. Well whoopty do!
I was still sick with sin but had the antidote in my back pocket but didn’t know it, because God had plans and He willed my eyes to remain shut until He decided to open them…and boy did He open them.
I was still sinning, still messing up and took no thought as to what my sinful lifestyle was doing to my beloved Saviour. Ask me if I cared…I would probably say yes, but didn’t put much stock into anything concerning my lifestyle because afterall I was saved, washed by the blood of the Lamb and all sins, past, present and future were taken away! Nowhere was there any mention of my constant disregard for my actions, words and thoughts. Nowhere did anyone say that if you continue on this road, then grace and Christ’s sacrifice is made of no effect. I was an heir afterall, an extension to the godhead, created in the image of God. Wouldn’t this give one freedom and liberty? 
I had heard from time to time people talking about God’s sovereignty, and of course agreed with it whole-heartedly, but to what extent? Did I believe He was in complete control? Or did I believe He was in complete control…but? I, just like countless others didn’t want to accept that my life was in the hands of a God who wasn’t moved by human emotions and feelings. I didn’t want to accept the fact that God was in COMPLETE control of everything and nothing was outside of His pre-ordained purposes. This would mean that I wasn’t…and that wasn’t going to happen anytime soon, I could assure you.
Then the day came when God had had enough. A day of reckoning if you will. It started just over two years ago, when all hell broke loose in my life. It was a wake up call of all wake up calls and I faced Jesus Christ my supposed Saviour in the middle of the ring and was given a choice, either bow or be destroyed. This tree has taken up the soil for too long, and the time has come to either rip it out, or for the tree to wake up. I woke up. For the first time, I realized that I wasn’t saved. I thought I was, I thought I loved Christ with all my heart, but it wasn’t until this moment in my life when everything was being systematically stripped away, I realized that I was playing a role. I was acting the part of a Christian and nothing more.
Jesus broke me.
Totally.
Completely.
Eternally.
I realized that I was that proverbial lump of clay that was hard and dry and the only way for God to do anything with me that He desired, was for me to be utterly and completely smashed to a thousand shards. And He did it without an iota of remorse for He knew what needed to be done and that it needed to be done now for I was in many ways drowning in my religious hypocrisy.
Don’t misunderstand me, I was better than a lot of those around me.
I was sincere, I thought. I was humble, I thought.
And I loved Jesus with all of my heart…I thought.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and my road was better paved than most. But Jesus wanted me to travel 4×4 for a while. And boy what a trek it has been.
I have come to the place now where I realize that I am a worm, a speck, a clump of dirt, a slave with no rights of my own whatsoever and ONLY by the grace, love and power of God can I do anything. Do I keep my heart pumping? Am I in charge of my chest heaving in and out while air is sucked in and carbon dioxide is expelled? Am I telling my nerves to fire at the right intervals? I am at God’s mercy from one second to the next. We all are. For a man to think for one second that he is the master of his life and destiny is complete idiocy.
The truth hurt but did it ever make the difference when I swallowed it finally.
I finally realized that I wasn’t in control of my life, I wasn’t the master of my destiny and I wasn’t going to make things better by my professions, confessions and affirmations. God will do what He wants, when He wants and how He wants, and He was not going to let me and my foolishness get in His way. He had plans for me and my family, and He was going to do what needed to do, come hell, high water or me.
So my journey began, or perhaps it had always been going on, but now it was jerked into high gear. I don’t know, but what I do know is this. All of the pride, foolishness, immaturity and all of the false teachings that have gathered in the dark recesses of my mind were being swept out into the daylight and the housecleaning of all housecleanings had kicked into action. Everything I had once argued, believed, confessed and stood by were all being purged and skimmed off and God was at work in me.
I have never cried so much, heaved so much and hurt so much as I have these years. I have had my heart ripped into pieces over and over, I have been lied about and to and I have been betrayed by those closest to me. I have learned to forgive the unforgivable, love the unloveable, turn the other cheek, go the extra mile and give until it hurt. I have learned to submit, obey, conform and accept God’s will, no matter what that means. No matter the sacrifice, the pain and the cost, I have learned to submit and bow myself to God’s will…period.
It has been hard, but it also has been so worth it. Would I turn the clock back and go back to the place where I wasn’t ripped to shreds by the Lion of the Tribe of Judah? NO! I am thankful, happy and joyous over my trials, because through my trials so much good has come forth.
I pray that through this blog, you, the reader, will grow and be nourished. I pray you will be challenged and changed. I pray that you will allow God to move you, change you, break you and conform you into the image of Jesus Christ. If this is accomplished, then my blog has accomplished the minor objective. But the main objective is and always will be to bring glory to God. This is what I desire, this is what I strive for. Your benefit is just the icing on the cake.
Bless you reader and may your eyes and ears be opened to the truth for the glory of God.
Below is my statement of faith…
I Believe..
1. The Bible is the verbal inspiration of God. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21)
2. In one God eternally existing in three persons; the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14; John 14:10, 26)
3. I believe in the Person and Work of Christ:
a- I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men (Isaiah 7:14, 9:6; Luke 1:35; John 1:1-2, 14; II Corinthians 5:19-21; Galatians 4:4-5; Philippians 2:5-8).
b- I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and, that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (Acts 2:18-36; Romans 3:24-25; I Peter 2:24; Ephesians 1:7; I Peter 1:3-5).
c- I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Acts 1:9-10; Hebrews 9:24, 7:25; Romans 8:34; I John 2:1-2).
4. I believe that all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins;—-That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:22-23, 5:12, 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-3, 4:17-19 John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7, 2:8-10; I Peter 1:18-19)
5-I believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment (Matthew 25:46; John 5:28-29, 11:25-26; Revelation 20:5-6, 12-13)
6- I believe that the souls of the redeemed are, at death, absent from the body and present with the Lord, where in conscience bliss they await the first resurrection, when spirit, soul, and body are reunited to be glorified forever with the Lord (Luke 23:43; II Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23, 3:21; I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelations 20:4-6)
7- I believe that Jesus Christ WILL return again! (Psalms 89:3-4; Daniel 2:31-45; Zechariah 14:4-11; I Thessalonians 1:10, 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Revelations 3:10, 19:11-16, 20:1-6).
a- That the “blessed hope”, the personal return of Christ who will catch-up His Church, was Prophesied, is true, and will be fulfilled.
b -While we are told of signs that will proceed this, we are not to set dates—thus recognizing the total sovereignty of God.
c- I believe the Body of Christ should not only be watching daily for our Lords return, but should also be prepared at ALL time;
- Prepared’ ie–In being about the business of the Great Commission (Mark 16:15-18)
- By fighting the ‘Good fight of Faith’ (Eph.6:10-18)—
- Never forgetting those that have went before us (Hebrews 11:1-40–Hebrews 12:1-4)
8- I believe there will be a New Heaven and New Earth, at the time our Lord sets up His Kingdom on earth. (Rev.21 & 22)
9 -I believe in the Unity of the body of Christ—-based on salvation through Christ only, love for the brethren, and servant-hood to one another (Rom.12:5 1Cor.10:17 Eph.4:13 Eph.4:3 1Peter 3:8)
“That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me” John 17:21
“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” John 13:35
“Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment” 1Cor.1:10
“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently” 1Peter 1:22

This blog is a work in progress. It is an instrument, not a replacement for evangelism and reaching the lost for Christ; but it helps. This blog is solely written for the glory of God. A concept we all have trouble with. It is my desire that everything written herein, glorifies God, honours God and works toward building a foundation for others to build upon in future generations.
If one person, one soul comes to life through Christ Jesus through this blog, then all the writing, studying, prayers and tears were worth it.
Sola Dei Gloria!
Really great!
God Bless You
Bob
Thank you Bob for your kind comments. It is my prayer that everyone who visits this blog is challenged and changed for God’s glory. If you or someone else receives God’s unbiased, objective truth from these articles, videos and posts then my “job” is done. All for God’s glory.
In Christ’s trunk,
Paul
That’s great to hear! I know that God will use you and this blog to point others to the truth, if He has not done it already! Keep serving Christ, and live as to be able to face eternity at any moment!

Good Morning !
The reason I am writing this is because I rarely see encouraging articles from people in the “word of faith” movement. It’s always miracles, signs and wonders, most of which they just talk about rather that show true evidence of. It is always, “send me money so God can bless you.”
I’ve read many of your articles concerning the false prosperity prophets we have today and thank you for exposing them on your web site or You Tube. I would like to point out that this is nothing new, my first exposure to this false teaching was back in 1954 at a Pentecostal church. I left the hospital, recovering from a severe burn accident with my arms infected and was in great pain. A friend of the family started taking me to several Pentecostal healing services in the Washington, DC area. When there were no results the preachers blamed my lack of faith etc,. The friend also took me to a “faith healer” and tent “evangelist” Jack Coe, who turned out to be another false teacher, died a year later. I just could not understand why God would not heal me. I was thirteen, saved and thought, based on the teachings I was getting that I did have enough faith to be healed . Several preachers looked at my swollen arms would pray and then say “you have to have faith”, then walk away leaving me feeling like I had no faith and questioned my salvation because of the “Fire And Brimstone ” teaching being taught. After months of pain I did recover even though the healing wasn’t instant. GOD was working in my life in spite of the spiritual leadership I was getting. It was years later that I realized what “JESUS” meant when HE said “My Grace Is Sufficient For You” but the Pentecostal preachers left more scars on me than my burns did.
While attending these loud, out of order and scary services, the pastor would bring in “special anointed” evangelist that traveled around going from church to church, “preying” on the people, usually on a Friday night (pay day) preaching the same nonsense that you see today. The “pay me so God can bless you” ministers. Even though I did not attend these services often, one night several years later, just before going into the Marines, the preacher said that “GOD” was going to give a special blessing to all those that would give $100, then $50, then $25. Since I’d just been paid (I cleared around $45 a week) and was leaving home in a few days, I felt I could give $25.00. People lined up with their money in hand, the preacher laid his hand forcefully on their foreheads and they would fall down with the “Catchers ” behind them. When it came to my turn I was prepard to fall down, which I did, not because of the so called power of the preacher but because everyone else was falling, as I laid there I even looked around to see if others got up so I could. What a hair raising experience, I stayed away from these “ fake” signs and wonders” for years.
Many years later I got involved with a prison ministry. I was to meet my mentor inside a prison for my first volunteer bible study but he did not show up and I had to conduct the bible study on my own. I had never done this before, was unprepared and couldn’t wait to it was over. When I walked out of the prison I felt miserable thinking I let God down, but He gave me the desire and compassion for this type of ministry. I was determined to learn what the bible teaches instead of relying on what someone else was teaching in church or on TV and ask the Lord to help me. I really felt inadequate for the task but found that the Holy Spirit really does the work, I have to be willing. I started going to this prison every week and after awhile started conducting bible study’s in several prisons. Of the many laymen volunteers that taught ” God’s Word “, none ever had there names in “Lights”, asked for money to go to more prisons or portrayed The Lord as some personal benefactor that needs an intercessor (them) to answer prayers. They all talked of forgiveness, personal responsibility, obedience, love, that the Lord is with us through it all, not that He will ALWAYS heal, ALWAYS prosper but that He will ALWAYS be with you. – NO- COPELAND- HINN-PARSEY-ROBERTS, ETC. , no offerings or preach the “WORD OF FAITH” movement . If they had, I doubt if they would have gotten out alive. Which brings up the point, if the “WORD OF FAITH MOVEMENT” is correct, it would be easy to convince the lost to come aboard the gravy train, obtain wealth and health. The problem is that only the preachers are prospering by preaching this evil deception. How many inmates would continue to come to the bible studies if they were told they could get wealth and out of prison sooner if they would accept the “word of faith” gospel and quickly found out it was a lie. Of course, most of these Word of Faith ministers do not go to prisons, partly because they won’t get any money there. It is bad enough that some of these “ministers” raise millions of dollars for themselves, and give precious little to anyone, any organization or ministry in need, but they are puffed up with their own self-importance, some threaten to “curse” anyone who dare speak against them or disagree with their message and they clearly are teaching a gospel other than that in the bible. The true gospel should and is being taken throughout the world with the same results as the first apostles had, sharing the salvation message and people coming to know Jesus Christ as their personal savior and His plan of salvation. Most of these men and women of God struggle financially, are in a position to help many if they had proper funding but get $0 from these “pay me so God will bless/heal you people”.
One of the biggest lessons I learned was that a person doesn’t have to be cleaver with “GODS WORD” but to teach the basic salvation principles, encouragement, and that great “LOVE OF GOD” and how through “Grace Are We Saved By Faith”. I also learned to trust “GODS WORD”, LUKE 22:35 NIV JESUS told the disciples “When I Sent You Without Purse, Bag Or Sandals, Did You Lack Anything?” “Nothing” They answered. I had just started a cleaning business to support my family but I did learn to trust God for my needs and my business grew over time and gave me the opportunity to devote more time to the ministry not with a lot of excess or instant wealth but we made enough to meet my needs. Once I was ask to take over a ministry at a brig at a military base that was over 50 miles away. Not really being able to afford it I prayed that God would provide my needs, and He never let me down. Have you noticed that the “Faith Teachers” want your support money before they go to the next conference?
“Signs And Wonders”- “Fire Conferences” … Think about this, if I put up posters in the prisons saying there is going to be a special “Signs and Wonders” Conference, would the inmates think that this was a ticket to a magic or freak show? If it was called a “Fire Conference” would the warden greet me with armed guards stating that it’s against state law to start fires or bring explosions in prisons. These terms are misleading.
There comes a time in ministy and our personal lives that we ask ourselves is God’s Word real and does it really work? In my years of prison ministry I’ve seen hundreds come to the simple salvation message with changed lives and with future hope. Not by a fancy sermon or cleaver words but of bringing the words of our savior Jesus and letting the Holy Spirit do His work. “THE TRUTH Will SET YOU FREE” to the lost.
What of all the miracles that we hear so much about from the “TV FALSE PROPHETS”. I’m convinced that God does miracles in all our lives but that He’s the one who deserves the credit, these people talked as if God needs their help and we must go through them for God to act and usually for a price. While in the prison ministry I saw many subtle signs of God’s intervention, I saw lives changed, hope, forgiveness, restoration, understanding, and above all – new “hearts”. The Holy Spirit does give a new conscience, I experienced it and saw it in many. Only God can change someone’s mind and heart without indoctrination. The biggest response I ever received for salvation was when I didn’t want to go, it was a cold rainy night and I was in a bad mood and not prepared but went out of obedience. I was shown it is definitely God, not me.,One night I came home during an ice/snow storm and was hit from behind at a stop light. Since I was prayed for by the guys and was doing “God’s work” I was a bit disappointed that I got hit and had slight injuries that’s when we really need to trust The Lord when things go bad.The biggest miracle I personally witnessed was when a murderer had accepted the gospel message and ask Christ in his life, regardless of my inadequacies. I had volunteered at a county jail as an assistant chaplain that housed about 2000 prisoners and had about 40 requests a day to see me. On one occasion I went to a special security cell and noticed the person’s name on the request form had been on the nightly news several weeks before. He had murdered his mother-in-law in front of his wife and kids while high on drugs. Well, this just didn’t set well with me, I pre-judged him and kept my visit short no “Love Of Christ Here”. Later I was really convicted of my sin and letting down Jesus. I went home and ask the Lord to forgive me for judging him, being in a bad mood and not showing the love I needed to show and besides, that is what I was there for, to try to bring others to the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.
The next day I went to visit him and ask the guard to let me take him out of the cell to the chaplains office. The guard refused since he was considered very violent and had to be watched 24 hours a day and besides, he said the inmate was twice my size and he could he not be responsible for my safety. I said that God will protect me and something like “This Is God’s Business “. He went up the chain of command to get permission and I was able to bring him to the office. The first thing I did was to apologize for not being the christian that I should have been the day before and for pre-judging him. I ask his forgiveness he was shocked. I gave him some coffee and treats I snuck in. He ask me what kind of sentence he could expect and I told him most likely the electric chair in a few years. He stated that he wanted to die for his crime and ask if God could forgive him. I ask him if he ever heard about King David the giant killer and about his life etc. Even though he was responsible for taken a life God forgave him !
We discussed Jesus plan of salvation and read scripture and prayed for the Lord’s Forgiveness. Holding my hands he accepted Jesus into his heart. Was this just a jailhouse conversion or was it real? I know it was real by his response to the simple salvation message, the look in his eyes and his countenance change. The chaplain in charge also saw the change in this man’s life and arranged with the sheriff office to allow him to attend bible studies with other inmates without deputy escorts. Now that is a miracle!
As I watch these “False Prophets” on TV always raising money for their ministries, their false prophecies, lavish lifestyles etc, I see the same repeats of the 1950′s except they have have a much larger audience to deceive due to the world wide TV coverage. Also, I used to pray for their salvation etc, now I realize that they are one of the delussions that God has sent for those who do not know God’s word. These preachers know what they are doing, laughing their way to the bank and gathering followers the ones that do not know Jesus or are just ignorant of Gods word and continue to search for Signs And Wonders, etc. following these “False Christ” just as Jesus said they would in the last days.
I’m retired now and as I look back I wonder, as many of us do, did I do enough? Did I fail Jesus because I wasn’t cleaver with my bible study, not a great speaker, what more could/should have I done? I guess we all evaluate what we should have done, but I do know this by teaching God’s Word as instructed by Jesus we can’t go wrong, we are His disciples and His word proves that if God could use me with all my flaws He can use anybody. I’ve been reluctant to write this article for various reasons. First, I don’t take any credit for what the Lord has done in my life or to make it appear that I’m this great man of faith. Rather, I hope that others might realize that Jesus is working in their life as He did mine, perhaps bringing His subtle caring ways to the surface in your life. Think about this, when I started in the prison ministry I was still a federal prisoner on probation, had to get permission from the prison warden to visit any state or federal facility due to having spent several months at “camp fed” after losing a tax case. They rarely allow this. Yes, God can use anybody! Comments Welcome!

Thank you for your extensive comment, Bob. I am pressed for time at this point, but will take the time later to respond properly. Just to say this though, the Prosperity movement has caused more damage to poor people than any ponzi scheme known to man…and they do it in love, of course.
You know Bob, I was going to respond to you in depth and add my two cents worth, but as I re read your comment, I must say none is needed. You are right in your comments and the church has received more hurt and more slime slung in her face at the hands of these prosperity pimps than any other cult. “If you want our prayers, support us…” “Give to our “ministry”, and you will partake in our special anointing”. And on it goes.
Have you seen my post on this video and the comparison at the end of the post?
http://revivalandreformation.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/sam-and-esther-the-least-of-these-via-defending-contending/
This is it in a nutshell. This is what is wrong with the church today. $100 million to a sanctuary and a few peanut butter cookies to the starving. Jesus said that if we did good works unto the least of them, we would be doing it unto Him. I hardly think this meant mood lighting, a cafe, the pastor going to Palm Springs for missions…Where has the church missed it? Well for one thing, they are not the true church of Jesus Christ, but a fake, pseudo church full of play actors. The true church is extremely small, broken, humbled and surrendered. They are the church. They get the work done, and that is the miracle of God’s love. Take care my friend and we’ll talk soon.
Amen. You have just gotten done writing my story. The Lord grabbed us about 2 years ago as well. Judgment really did begin at the house of God! To look back at me, 2 and a half years ago…wow! Who is that person? Such a testament to the grace, mercy, and saving power of Truth. I’m looking forward to spending some time on your website.
Thank you for your strong and supportive comments on the Christmas thread. I am used to being the lone-ranger on that topic. It was nice for a change to have someone say something kind rather than rip my character to shreds. The King is worth every bit of contending and every fork-tongued response I get!
In Christ,
Mom4Truth
There are a few of us Lone Rangers left. Not many I can assure you. Be blessed and know that God has chosen you for a certain time and place. We belong in this time and will fulfill His purposes for His glory. Nice to have you drop by and it is my prayer you are challenged and changed by the work that has gone into this blog. As I said, it is a reflection of my walk with Christ, and it is not done by any stretch, uh I mean conformity…
Thank you very much for this important testimony!
Hope it is OK that I put it on my blog:
http://alertsweden.blogg.se/?tmp=06114406
And thanks for your comments on my blog today. You are completely right!
God bless you richly!
Well most definitely, please do. Anything to bring God glory and comfort to that suffering Christian who is being broken and conformed to Christ’s image. May God richly bless you for your obedience and surrenderedness with more service, more responsibility and more opportunities to bring Him glory.
Make sure that eternal security(once born again always a child of God appears), in your writings.
A person that is born again is already glorified in God’s eyes.
Rom 8:30 …….also glorified(past tense).
Eph 4:30 …… sealed unto the day of redemption(future).
God bless you!
Ove
Those who are truly born again, are sealed up unto the Day of Redemption, you’re right. But there are so many who are impostors, aren’t they? The tares and the wheat are identical until they are fully mature, then one can distinguish between the two of them. It’s good to know that anything God does, man cannot undo. Thanks for visiting, hope to see you again soon.

Rick Warren’s Purpose-Driven Global Peace Plan vs. Scripture
New Website
http://www.theperfectpeaceplan.com
As though it is not enough that Rick Warren has a Muslim physician Dr. Oz speak from his pulpit who wants to hypnotize all of America, it is time for all Christians to sever their unholy alliance with Apostate Rick Warren and publicly renounce him, and come out from among them!
“Warren is expected to award Blair with the annual International Medal of PEACE. The award is given to individuals who exemplify outstanding contribution toward alleviating the five global giants.”

You have to wonder after Rick Warren gives Tony Blair his Global Peace Plan Prize, who’s next? Gaddafi?
“Tony Blair believes Muslim cleric saved without Jesus”

Blair is a globalist and has converted to Roman Catholicism…totally apostate…Hybels has no business promoting him, but should be marking him.
“I also mentioned Pastor Rick Warren who sits on the advisory board of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation that seeks to bring the religions of the world together.”

Thank you James for this information. One doesn’t realize the depths of this man’s evil until he is confronted with material such as this. Not surprising though and certainly this will lead to more evil. Have you noticed through the church, mentalities, dress, music and other sources that society seems to be repeating the 70′s again? This is not a mistake as far I see it. The “Age of Aquarius” and all that that implies was a test run, now it’s for real. look out the days are getting darker, to the point where we won’t be able to do any work. Please feel free to contact me either through my email, or through this blog. it’s good to hear from someone who is as astute and alert as you.

THat was THE most EYE OPENING read I have read in a very long time. It is true, we as a people are afraid to give.time, money, food or whatever for fear we will miss out on something.this has changed the way I feel.
Made my day once once more, wonderful post..two thumbs up!
Thank you for your compliment. I hope you enjoyed my blog, but more importantly, I hope your were changed by it. All to the glory of God.
What an awesome testimony! It is one that I can relate to. When I look back on how I was, I am humbled to the core to what God has done for me and through me. So convicted of this am I that would that the Lord take me now for me to go back to anything of my past life! God bless you, friend. This blog is a great ministry for Christ!
Thank you my friend. I need to update it as God has stretched me quite a bit since then. I have grown and been humbled like crazy these last years and it’s been awesome and I wouldn’t turn the clock back for anything!
Thank you for sharing your testimony! to God alone be the glory!
Oh my gosh, what a testimony! Thank you SO much for sharing it! And your statement of faith (“what I believe”)…I cannot help thinking how incredible it is that God has changed so many of us so much, and how He feeds us through His word until the junk we used to believe is so unthinkable, it is hard to fathom just how we ever even thought it in the first place. If that makes sense…y’know? I don’t mean to be presumptuous, but what you said in what you believe is so well said and articulate…would you consider allowing me to repost it? I could never say it that well (that’s a fact), and there is not one thing that I do not also share as belief. Anyway, would you consider it? I hate to use someone elses’s words…it seems kinda cheesy, but… it’s so well stated. If not, it’s totally okay!
Beautiful testimony of the work of a Sovereign God in the life and heart of a self-confessed sinner. May you be blesses as you continue to honor Him by sharing what He is teaching you and that it will challenge and encourage many readers in the truths of God’s Word.
