Offering

Weekly Meanderings, 21 January 2017

Good start to the weekend with David Gorn, and food as medicine:
Nadeau is part of a small revolution brewing across California. The food-as-medicine movement has been around for decades, but it’s making inroads as physicians and medical institutions make food a formal part of treatment, rather than relying solely on medications. By prescribing nutritional changes or launching programs such as “Shop with Your Doc,” they’re trying to prevent, limit or even reverse disease by changing what patient..

Verse”Abel was a keeper of sheep.” — ge 4:2
ThoughtAs a shepherd Abel sanctified his work to the glory of God, and offered a sacrifice of blood upon his altar, and the Lord had respect unto Abel and his offering. This early type of our Lord is exceedingly clear and distinct. Like the first streak of light which tinges the east at sunrise, it does not reveal everything, but it clearly manifests the great fact that the sun is coming. As we see Abel, a shepherd and yet a priest, offering a sacrific..

Divine Words for Desperate Parents

0 Comment

I’m not exactly sure how it happens, but almost as soon as we visit the doctor to confirm we’re pregnant we start getting coupons for formula and diapers and magazines that include all kinds of articles about how to raise healthy, well-adjusted children. All of these “five steps to . . .” and “ten ways to get your child to . . . ” articles can fool us into thinking if we try hard enough and do everything right, our child will become and do what we want.

But anyone who’s been a parent for long k..

Did you know that the Bible tells you to imitate God?

It surely does!

EPHESIANS 5:1-2 NIV
1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and
live a life of love,
2 just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a
fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

No doubt you have seen a child imitating their parent.
Sometimes the parent is glad — sometimes embarrassed.

Just as earthly children imitate their parents, children of God
are supposed to imitate their Heavenly Father.

Planned Parenthood Thanks Obama for Promoting Abortion: “Thank You Mr. President”

0 Comment

Planned Parenthood sent profuse thanks to President Barack Obama this week on Twitter as the president concludes his eight years in office.

Obama has been a close ally to the abortion industry throughout his two terms, defending Planned Parenthood after it was caught selling aborted babies’ body parts, giving it more taxpayer funding, and welcoming its CEO to the White House on dozens of occasions.

This week, the abortion business expressed its gratitude in a series of tweets to President Obam..

Santa Clara Officials Remove Cross From Public Park Following Atheist Lawsuit

0 Comment

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Officials in Santa Clara, California have removed a 14-foot cross from a public park in response to a lawsuit filed by a prominent professing atheist organization.

The granite cross had been displayed in what is known as Memorial Cross Park for the past 64 years after being donated by the local chapter of the Lions Club.

But in 2012, the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) wrote to then-Mayor Jamie Matthews to assert that the cross violated both the fe..

I agree with those who feel that America is headed for uncertain times in our near future. According to a new Quinnipiac University Poll released last Tuesday, America’s President-Elect, Donald Trump, will enter the presidency with a historically low approval rating, only 37%.
Trump’s approval rating has actually declined since his popular vote loss and electoral college win last November. At presen..

When Christians Act Like Mormons

0 Comment

I’ve noticed over the years that some people in the church do the same, even some preachers are tempted to do this from their pulpits. We put on our best face. We ignore the difficult topics the Bible talks about and just focus on the love of Jesus. We focus on family as well, and on more happiness in this life and hope for the next. And as I think about the Mormon religion, I see three areas in particular where Christians are tempted to behave similarly.

The other day I was getting ready to ta..

Theology Can Blind You to God

0 Comment

Jesus had enemies. As soon as he’s declared Son of God in the Gospel of Mark, he’s driven into the wilderness to face Satan, his first and greatest adversary (Mark 1:12).

Satan lurks behind all opposition to Jesus, and his demons show up repeatedly to entice and corrupt, but surprisingly, his henchmen are more often theologians than demons. Satan is mentioned only five times in Mark, and demons only thirteen times. But the scribes and Pharisees are mentioned 29 times, and in 27 of those verses..

Abortion Activist Says Women Should “Stock Up in Coat Hangers” After Abortion Clinic Closes

0 Comment

The new year already has brought some great hopes for unborn babies in Kentucky.

The legislature passed two pro-life bills and Gov. Matt Bevin signed them into law during the first week of the legislative session. Then, one of the two remaining abortion clinics in the state announced its plans to close at the end of January.

As a result, abortion activists are in uproar, claiming that Kentucky women will be hurt because they do not have easy access to abortion.

Raw Story reports more about th..
