Photos: People Gather To Lift Their Hands And Praise…Michael Jackson

When I saw this first photo here, I was like, hmm, folks having church at the Apollo in NYC? Then I noticed the young lady holding on to the Michael Jackson album.  (Click on images to see them larger)

Roman Catholics Upset Over Baseball Team’s Opening Game On Good Friday

By LaVrai, 25 March, 2009, No Comment

This article is just absurd enough for me to post it.

Apparently, taking time out to acknowledge Christ Jesus’ sacrifice for us and unmerited gift to us is not as important as opening day for some faithful baseball fans.

Photo: Clown Clothes For The Pulpit?

By LaVrai, 6 December, 2008, 2 Comments

You know how they say too much of one thing is bad for you, and can sometimes actually kill you?

Anyway, I came across this photo and something very interesting over at Get Religion in a post called “Many truths, many paths, many gods?” The site basically analyzes how religion is covered in the media — but that’s not the point. The author/editor of this post has coined a term he calls the “tmatt trio” (with “tmatt” referring to his name). Apparently there are three questions that often come up in discussions about Salvation:

(1) Are the biblical accounts of the resurrection of Jesus accurate? Did this event really happen?

(2) Is salvation found through Jesus Christ, alone? Was Jesus being literal when he said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6John 14:6
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

)?

(3) Is sex outside of the Sacrament of Marriage a sin?

I got to thinking, since it’s no longer safe to assume that someone calling him/herself a Christian actually knows what Christianity is, it may be a good, but very sad, idea to start posing these three questions to so-called Christians… It obviously won’t work with the wolves though, they always know what they need to say to fool the few in the flock.

But seriously, look at that vest — isn’t it a mess? What again do false religions have to do with the ONE TRUE GOD?

2 Corinthians 6:

14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “ I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” 17 Therefore “ Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” 18 “ I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty.”

What Do You Think: ‘Phony Christians Embrace Bull’

I came across this brilliant headline and image on a Huffington Post item, in which the author writes: “It’s not even Halloween yet, but a bunch of folks masquerading as Christians descended on Wall Street the other day to fondle the horns of that famous bronze bull statue and pray to God “to begin a shift from the bull and bear markets to what we feel will be the ‘Lion’s Market,’ or God’s control over the economic systems.” What makes them think God’s not minding the store now? How do we know this economic collapse isn’t just part of His master plan to drive his wayward, wealth-worshipping flock back to a less-consumptive, more redemptive way of life?”

I don’t necessarily agree with everything the author writes, but she makes a good point — why would we pray for GOD to fix the economy? Is the economy really the underlying problem right now with this nation — and the world? Or is it sin? Perhaps we should be praying for GOD ALMIGHTY to draw men unto repentence. What do you think…
