The person who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, because God is love.
Whoever isn’t against us is for us.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Those who want to come with me must say no to the things they want, pick up their crosses, and follow me. Those who want to save their lives will lose them. But those who lose their lives for me will find them. What good will it do for people to win the whole world and lose their lives? Or what will a person give in exchange for life? The Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father’s glory. Then he will pay back each person based on what that person has done.”
Some say that there’s two sides to every story.
The truth is, there’s three.
There’s your perception, my perception and the Word of God.
Our mutual interpretations of our circumstances might seem like truth because they’re real to us but that doesn’t necessarily make it so.
What do I mean?
We can be deceived.
The enemy can lie to us and we can believe it.
We can believe the lie.
Most people do.
We lie to ourselves.
We do it to make ourselves feel better.
But the truth is absolute.
It doesn’t play favorites.
It’s not based on what you did or who you know.
Performance and nepotism/cronyism aren’t part of the equation.
So what’s left?
What you believe.
Jesus is the truth.
He’s the living representation of God’s divine nature.
Think about it.
God came as a man.
Jesus was that man.
How did He live?
That’s the life we should emulate.
He didn’t build a comfortable mansion to live in.
He didn’t form a business to make himself and his friends rich.
He didn’t run for political or religious office.
He didn’t make people serve His wants and needs.
He came to serve.
He came to be crucified.
He gave His life so that we could inherit eternal life.
That’s what we’re called to do.
Lay down your life as a living sacrifice so that others can see the light and be brought to Christ.
That’s the meaning of life.
Beyond that, I don’t know.
Materialism fails to satisfy.
Our nation is destroying the planet to feed our addiction to consumerism.
I encourage you to fast from consumerism.
Find what really feeds your soul.
And that can be neither bought nor sold.
Return to the real.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
We are one.
Bless you this season.
And may God’s will be done.
So really, there’s one of three possible positions you can take on our Lord Jesus Christ.
You can be His enemy and serve Satan.
You can be a fan and go to church but never actually do the Word.
Or you can be a follower.
Led by the Spirit.
To do His will, not your own.
I don’t know about you, but I’m giving all I got on following God.
I think that might turn out the best.
God bless and see you in the New Year!

Ferrar fenton bible ibble so much for helping the metaphysical Christian community take back the Bible! The Geographical Names I invariably retain in transliterated form; because the attempt of my predecessors in translation from the Septuagint and Vulgate, and their versionists, to render them into their supposed Greek equivalents territorially, has made such wild misplacing of Nations and Towns as to remind one of the dreams of a mapmaker gone mad; whole kingdoms often having been put thousands of miles away from their actual localities and these blunders have been incorporated in all our literature.

The Ferrar fenton bible Bible in Modern Englishcommonly known as the Ferrar Fenton Biblewas an early translation of the Bible into English as spoken and written in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Our church building
On February 23, 1894, the vestry of the new parish voted to use the plans for the church made by local architect T. J. Collins. The Gothic Revival brick structure was built in 1896, with a simple interior, a center aisle on a north-south axis, and lights fitted for both electricity and gas. The construction contract was for $10,082.
In response to changing liturgical practices, the church was remodeled in 1903-1904 to provide for a high Victorian-Gothic chancel with a richly decorated vaulted ceiling. This drastic renovation effected an east-west axis for the center aisle, an extension of the west wall to allow a polychrome chancel, and enlarged seating for the choir. The marble altar, with a depiction of the Last Supper, was given in 1911 in memory of a Stuart Hall girl who died earlier that year at the school. The reredos was added in 1916. The parish house wing was built in 1930 in a Tudor Revival variation of the Gothic style. The pipe organ was installed in 1942 and rebuilt in 1992. The stained glass windows were cleaned and repaired in 1993. Later in the decade, the electrical system was updated and the nave was restored with new plaster, decorative painting, and carpeting. More recently, an elevator was installed to make the sanctuary accessible to all. In the summer of 2008, the "Emmanuel" stained glass window behind the altar, and the "Angel" stained glass window on the north side of the church, were carefully removed, cleaned, and fully restored to their original beauty. In the spring of 2009, the old slate roof was replaced with copper sheeting that will preserve the structure against water damage for several decades to come. Our latest major improvements have been the restoration of the stained glass window on the east side in March 2012, a major upgrading of the electrical system in late 2014, and the installation of a new furnace in October 2015.
Altar and Holy Table
After making do with a "temporary" altar table for over 35 years, the members of Emmanuel were pleased to see a beautiful new altar on the first Sunday after Easter in 2015. Bishop Heath Light paid a visit on April 19 to say a blessing for the new altar, and several previous rectors attended this special service as well, with a reception afterwards. Our own Doug Roller designed the altar, which was dedicated to the memory of the late Brooke Dickerman, a member of Emmanuel for many years. Her two children said a few words during the service. On the rear side of the altar are inscribed the words:
"In loving memory of our mother, Brooke Benton Dickerman, from Ann and Will. April 2015."
The Memorial Garden at Emmanuel (often called the "Columbarium") provides a quiet outdoor place for prayer and reflection. It features a three-cornered stone path in the center, with a variety of flowers and herbs around the circumference.
Our parish banner
The Emmanuel Staunton banner was displayed for the first time at the consecration service for Bishop Mark Bourlakas in Roanoke, in July 2013. The cross design replicates the crosses that adorn the sanctuary of our church. Below the cross are representations of Betsy Bell and Mary Gray hills, the defining geographical feature of the city of Staunton, as well as a number of the wildflowers native to our area.

Luke 17:26, Genesis 9:11, Malachi 4:1, Genesis 6:4, Genesis 6:9, Numbers 13:33, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
We’ve talked about the End Times here, before. The strange events of the last couple of years have made “the End Times” a hot topic with many, and rightly so. In referring to these days, Jesus said, “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.” (Luke 17:26) Something to note, is that in the verses that follow, He also refers to how “They did eat, they drank, they married wives…”
From all of this, one might have a couple of good questions: 1) If men have been eating, drinking and marrying in ALL ages, what was so different about the days of Noah? and 2) Is the word “they” intended in the same general context as we normally use it …or were “they” a certain part of the populace? –The answers to the questions might tell us how close we are to (or in) the End Times, and God’s righteous indignation with the world. And we know that IS coming because although God promised in His covenant with Noah that never again “shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth” (Genesis 9:11), God has foretold that “the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up.” (Malachi 4:1)
This could be a really long sermon, and many more have done much more detailed and scholarly works about the subject, but the answers to the questions we raised are basically in two verses of the Book of Genesis, both describing the time of Noah:
In Genesis 6:4…
“There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” (Note in this passage, that the “giants” –these perverted offspring– existed in that time “and also after that”. Meaning that the flood stopped the runaway infestation, but it wouldn’t be the only time it would happen.)
In Genesis 6:9, we are given a very interesting description of Noah: “These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.” …So, “the generations” –the genealogy– shall I hit it ‘on the nose’? –the genetic composition of Noah was perfect…pure. More simply stated: he didn’t have “Giant’s blood”.
There is another significance to this idea, when related to the actual Hebrew word translated as “giants” in Genesis 6:4. The Hebrew name is “The Nephilim”, and it appears only again in Numbers 13:33 when referring to the “sons of Anok” and how everyone else felt as grasshoppers in comparison of size. So, although most Bible scholars translate a couple of different words both as “giants”, there was actually a proper name of “The Nephilim” given to these mutated, perverted breed between the “sons of God” and humans. Further, we can infer that these Nephilim are the ones mentioned in Jude 1:6 as “the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation,” for whom God would reserve punishment in chains of darkness.
Most mainstream churches avoid dwelling upon anything other than the inspiring story of David and Goliath (which happened long AFTER the Great Flood and the days of Noah), but the Bible references “giants” in 19 different verses of the Old Testament, across 12 distinct Chapters, and 7 different Books. From Genesis to Job, the references to “giants” were never figurative.*
…So, bringing us back to today: There are no “giants” here today. No Goliath roaming around to try our slingshot skills with. –Nothing to worry about, right? …Ah, but there is that little matter of the “strange medicine” of today: The “Warp Speed” of its delivery. The complete absence of an ingredients list, if you request it. The demand from nearly every corner to take it.
Some have resisted, valiantly. Nevertheless, now that the genie is out of the bottle, how long before every part of the world that has deliberately ‘kept away’ from it, will also succumb to it in ways unexpected? –Through the natural course of society, we will “eat, drink, and marry wives”, and if we are not careful and selective, even those of us who have stood apart, will have some of this “thing” in us. –Am I claiming that the “thing” IS “Nephilim seed”? No. Not that it wouldn’t be possible, for how would we really know? But, in the days recorded in the Bible, it doesn’t seem that “technology” was required for the Nephilim to mate.
Nonetheless, it is the horrific start of a massive, cascading genetic corruption of our bloodlines. And God said in 1 Corinthians 3:16-17.. “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?  If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”
Stay strong and keep the Temple holy, brothers and sisters. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Deuteronomy 2:20 KJV
(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
Joshua 12:4 KJV
And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
2 Samuel 21:20 KJV
And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.

A young person’s prayer
God of Love and Mercy, I give you thanks for all the good things I enjoy.
When I feel anxious about the future, calm my fears.
When I doubt myself, give me courage and confidence.
When I feel sad and lonely, remind me that I can always turn to you as a friend.
Help me to find the path in life that will call forth the best in me.
May your spirit lead and guide me all the days of my life.
Catholic Prayer to Saint Brigid
You were a woman of peace.
You brought harmony where there was conflict.
You brought light to the darkness.
You brought hope to the downcast.
May the mantle of your peace cover those who are troubled and anxious,
peace be firmly rooted in our hearts and in our world.
Inspire us to act justly and to reverence all God has made.
Brigid you were a voice for the wounded and the weary.
Strengthen what is weak within us.
Calm us into a quietness that heals and listens.
May we grow each day into greater wholeness in mind, body and spirit.
When things go
wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is strange with its twists and turns
As everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure comes about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell just how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.”

Located in Springfield, Missouri, the crossroads of America, their goal is to bring help and hope to those who need it most.

Samaritan's Purse is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan's Purse has helped meet needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God's love through His Son, Jesus Christ. The organization serves the Church worldwide to promote the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37) gives a clear picture of God's desire for us to help those in desperate need wherever we find them. After describing how the Samaritan rescued a hurting man whom others had passed by, Jesus told His hearers, "Go and do likewise." For over 40 years, Samaritan's Purse has done our utmost to follow Christ's command by going to the aid of the world's poor, sick, and suffering. They are an effective means of reaching hurting people in countries around the world with food, medicine, and other assistance in the Name of Jesus Christ. This, in turn, earns them a hearing for the Gospel, the Good News of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Make Disciples of Jesus Christ in the villages of Haiti. But the work involved with carrying out that mission is not so short and punchy. The disciple making process isn't a quick one. That's why they commit to deeply invest in the villages they work with.
They accomplish this through seeking to achieve 8 benchmarks of village advancement: Godly Leadership, Biblical Teaching, Christ-centered Education, Medical Care, Clean Water Systems, Safe Roofs, Sanitation, Micro-loans.
While community advancement is an avenue they use to live out the love of Christ, their mission remains their driving force and top priority: Making disciples of Jesus.

Our Father's Children is a faith-based non-profit organization recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) that provides free week-long camps (through Royal Family Kid's Camps for ages 6-11), mentoring clubs (ages 6-11) and weekend retreats through Onward & Upward (ages 12-15) and through SUMMIT (ages 16-18) to children of abuse and neglect.
The camps/retreats are staffed by volunteers that go through an interview and screening process and training that is specifically designed to understand the needs and behaviors of abused and neglected children. Their camps/retreats offer a 2:1 camper-to-counselor ratio with the exception of The SUMMIT retreats which will have a 1:1 camper-to-counselor ratio.
They team with local community groups, churches and organizations as well as Child Protective Services and other child agencies/groups.
MISSION: Our mission is to create positive, uplifting memories for children of abuse and neglect, ages 6-18, in camp settings, weekend retreats, and in mentoring clubs with age-appropriate curriculum.
VISION: Our vision is to build self-confidence and self-esteem through various activities and establish a mentoring program built on trust and two-way communication.
Their efforts reach those suffering extreme poverty in countries throughout the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
Projects include relief for earthquake, flood and tsunami victims, care and education for orphans and other vulnerable children, housing for the homeless, medicines and health care for the indigent, food for families suffering extreme malnutrition, and clean water for communities that have none, as well as micro-enterprise programs and other long-term development efforts to break the cycle of poverty.
In every case, their method of outreach is the same: Cross International locates needy church-based ministries and other faith-based organizations serving the poor and distributes material aid through their existing programs. In this way, they can supply meaningful help where it is needed most. In all our work we remain dedicated in our service to the Lord as good stewards of His resources in every challenge we seek to overcome.

Many pastors in India who work in rural areas are mostly self trained. The Messenger players that were given to us by Dr. Charles Stanley's InTouch ministries contains sermons by Dr.Charles Stanley that has been translated and recorded in all major languages.
Watch a short clip about how this Pastor found it very difficult to read after he lost his eyesight in an accident. He suddenly had to depend on some one to read the Bible out for him. The Audio Bible is now helping him in his ministry. He is now able to hear God's word in Audio any time anywhere. This was an answer to his prayers. Many like this pastor still wait to hear God's word in Audio.
While visiting the Pastor's home over lunch we casually asked him as to how long does it take for electricity to come back after a power cut. He told us that it had been more than 3 months since they have had electricity in their village. He went on to tell us how much these solar powered audio Bibles would help people especially when it is dark. As we walked back to our vehicle from the distribution, we literally heard the audio bible being played in every small house with the family sitting around. It was such a beautiful sight.


While “the news” may be of some use, I’ve come to the conviction that our main source of truth is Biblical truth, and so I have committed to searching that truth daily.
We are finding ourselves in an incredible mess as a country. We’ve placed our trust in evil regimes (yes, even more evil than the US) to provide our everyday basic needs for food, and covering.
Our wicked governmental leadership has cobbled our ability to provide and has turned to worshiping the earth and its creation rather than God.
My reading today took me to this passage in Deuteronomy: “If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them,’ you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you to find out if you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall follow the LORD your God and fear Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him. But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has counseled rebellion against the LORD your God who brought you from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery, to seduce you from the way in which the LORD your God commanded you to walk. So you shall purge the evil from among you.
I’ve sat in a number of corporate meetings where the focus was following ESG principles (though I’m loath to call them principles). ESG is Environmental, Social, and Governmental.
Here’s how ESG and Biblical truth collide.
Google “Gaia Worship” and you’ll find the environmental error. As it says in Romans 1, “They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised.” We’ve abandoned our Biblical God and chosen to worship the world around us.
In January the Biden administration bought into the Green New Deal (pure Gaia worship) wholeheartedly when it attacked the fossil fuels industry in our country. The Keystone XL project was just the tip of the iceberg. There was (and is) a multi-pronged attack on our ability to product energy locally. At the same time, we placed more dependence on countries that don’t take nearly the care to protect the environment that we do.
Now we (and the whole world) find ourselves in a near-apocalyptic situation, on the brink of nuclear war (yes, really).
Time keeps me from addressing the “S” and “G” in ESG this morning, but I will follow up, Lord willing, in the next few days. Take heart, however, and mediate on God’s word.
“God, restore us And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved. Do not remember the iniquities of our forefathers against us; Let Your compassion come quickly to meet us, For we are brought very low. Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; And deliver us and forgive our sins for Your name’s sake. Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let there be known among the nations in our sight, Vengeance for the blood of Your servants which has been shed. Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You; According to the greatness of Your power preserve those who are doomed to death…”
“Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself. Then we shall not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name. O LORD God of hosts, restore us; Cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.”
“Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed. “I will make justice the measuring line And righteousness the level; Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies And the waters will overflow the secret place. “Your covenant with death will be canceled, And your pact with Sheol will not stand; When the overwhelming scourge passes through, Then you become its trampling place.”


YOU can help at risk youth by bidding on this painting RIGHT NOW on ebay!
After several months and a few trips to Hobby Lobby, Emilee has finished the painting. “Haziel” will go up for auction to benefit Horseplay Equestrian in Hudsonville, MI. This ministry uses rescued horses to teach at risk youth life skills which are laid in the foundation of the Gospel. You can read all about the work done at Horseplay Eqestrian at http://www.horseplayequus.com The painting is of a recent addition to the ranch, a colt named Haziel. You can read his story below.
Each year Horseplay has one fundraizer. At the ranch they have a pig roast with fantastic food, live music, and fun things to do. This year, July 9th, Chris will be doing his part by going in the dunk tank. As part of the non-profit’s annual and only fundraizer, this original painting will go up for auction on ebay. You will have opportunity to bid on the painting and all the proceeds will go directly to Horseplay. We will have a link right here on the website as soon as the painting is available to bid on.
Description: Original acrylic by Emilee Danielson on 16×20 canvas. Professional framming done by Hobby Lobby of Holland, MI. The entire piece measures 26×30. Title: “Haziel” Emilee gives account of the colt’s amazing story and is dated and mounted on the back of the painting.
Emilee Danielson June 2011
The colt had been named long before it had been born. Sired from stock of impressive blood lines, both the mare and the stallion breeding were offered with great expectation that an exceptional offspring would result. Everything went as planned until the day came for the mare to deliver. The foal was in the wrong position and the mare struggled to bring forth that little life. The initial hurdle was cleared, but others soon followed. The mare rejected the newly born colt, kicking at his attempts for nourishment. His low immunity level called for a transfusion. The ungainly colt lacked in size, beauty and
health, even for a newborn. The only thing this colt did not lack was trouble and disappointment. With the best laid plans the attending vet, breeder and owners were left to ponder as to why.
The name long-ago given the colt was Haziel. It is the Hebrew word meaning “God
Sees”. While no person could foresee Haziel’s particular set of circumstances, God could. He saw Haziel concealed in the darkness of his mother’s womb and determined to use him. God was going to use Haziel to tell His own story. It is in all actuality a story about God. We see at present, but often it is not until the present becomes past that we are able to perceive. We go through life with struggles, pain and rejection. We too lack in ability, strength and wisdom. Sometimes we get headed in the wrong direction or quite simply end up in the wrong position at the wrong time. No life woven into such intricate scenarios is immune to the struggles or their disappointments. Neither should we be blind to what God is revealing to us through them.
God does indeed see, but like these first dramatic stages of Haziel’s life, that is just the beginning. He then longs for, reaches out, and woos His broken world. He heals the sick, gives strength to the weak, accepts those who have been rejected, restores relationships, and turns trials into victories. He has done all these things for an awkward sickly colt. How much more does He long to do the same for mankind?
Today, a healthy Haziel lives with his mother, Tia, at Horseplay Equestrian in Hudsonville, MI as a living example to those around them that “God Sees”.
“For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”


I regularly write letters to the future, selecting a date and then adding a reminder to read the letter at the designated time. I usually write to myself, but occasionally I address someone else. I wrote this letter to my Mom last year on Mother’s Day, May 13, 2018 to be read this year on mother’s day, May 12, 2019. To read other “Letters to Future Self,” click here:
It has been a long time since I spoke to you; a long time since we sat together on the porch in the evening light and shared our stillness. There is so much I never thought to ask you; so much I neglected to do. As I slowly bridge the gap between my age and yours at the time of your passing, I realize there are so many things you can only know in the heart.
Although I never saw or heard you pray, I recall how you loved the image of praying hands. If we were sitting there now, I would ask you, “why that image is so compelling to you?” Perhaps your answer would weave memories of your childhood: of a lively dinner table surrounded by siblings and visiting friends on thanksgiving day. Or a night bowed before your bed, whispering wishes under your breath afraid your hidden desire would hit the ears of your sisters who would haunt you with their knowledge. Or maybe you would speak of those first years far away from your roots when your life took a drastic turn and you longed to go home.
For me, just the image of praying hands from the Albrecht Durer painting you hung on the wall, evokes you. Perhaps you had particular words you recited, a kind of ritual you could always remember, even after you laid down the cross and put the old fire and brimstone records back in the sleeve on the shelves of your past. Because for you, it was always personal, it was about the people in your life. I don’t know how easy it was for you to speak to a god that wasn’t flesh and blood.
I now believe the praying hands, floating in space, gave you a solace that can only come from that place where beyond and within are one. Under all the layering of life, under the build-up of worry, the grip of guilt, and the sorrow of flattened dreams, they were your own hands; the hands that never lost faith, that remained pure and simple, and that forever held precious your praying heart. Now that you have transcended, stepped beyond all the grave issues of this life, and no shame can come to you, I imagine us sitting there on the porch, in a moment of silence between us and, in that shared stillness, our two spirits touch, like grateful hands praying.
If you were free to speak from the heart to your mother, what would you say to her or ask her? This is the beauty of writing: it gives you the freedom to say what you need to say or to imagine what is in the heart of another, even if the person is no longer with you.

Joining a Ministry is an Opportunity to Serve
We serve when we use our talents, gifts, abilities and resources to help meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of our community, city and world.
Caters for children from 5 to 11 years of age. The core of children’s ministry is to connect children with Jesus Christ from an early age so they will grow up increasingly captivated by Jesus Christ and grounded in His ways. This is done through praise & worship, God stories and skits where children are encouraged to obey and live in a manner pleasing to Jesus Christ.
Many children and families surrounding us don’t know where their next meal will come from. Children go to bed hungry and go to school on an empty stomach. Through acts of generosity, our care centres bridge the gap by providing pre-school literacy, clean water and food. Where dire need is confirmed, school fees are provided for primary and high school education.
The Children’s home aims to meet the needs of children who can’t live with their own families as well as providing food, shelter, and space for play and leisure in a caring environment. The home also acts as a place where children can grow and develop under the supervision of care givers.
Members are encouraged to engage in sharing their faith with others, as witnesses for Christ. From time to time the church engages in mass evangelism in partnership with Evangelism and Fire ministries for events geared towards presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ to many people in one sitting.
It’s important that we care for our older citizens and ensure that they remain safe and well looked after during their twilight years. Our old age home is still in the building phase. We trust and believe that it will soon be completed. In the meantime, we visit, provide food and care for the elderly right where they are.
When people are down, we are challenged to get along side of them and provide a caring, loving, and embracing atmosphere that will lift the spirits of individuals that are going through difficult times. That is what the ‘Visitation Ministry’ is all about. John 13:34-35, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”
The purpose of this department is to help church’s growth by observing the needs of those in the church and those surrounding us, be it children or the elderly. This is how we encourage church members to get involved in social welfare programs individually and corporately as church to reach out and help the needy.

I prayed for you before we met,
Not knowing who you'd be.
I asked the Lord to send a friend.
One chosen just for me.
I asked that they'd be Godly,
With wisdom of His ways.
A friend to help and guide me
I the troubles of these days.
So often in life, we need someone
To listen while we talk.
Someone who will not condemn or judge,
But encourage us as we walk.
The narrow road we choose to follow
May sometimes make us stumble.
But to have a friend to catch our fall,
Teaches us to be humble.
When I asked the Lord to send a friend,
Though many came and went.
He gave much more than I ever asked,
For you are the friend He sent.

sorry but this isn't yours.
Art stealing can be a very serious offense. I suggest you stop... or at least give credit to the original author.


The Bible has been the most widely read and influential literature in history for centuries. Its use and interpretation are varied. The Bible often emphasizes the incredible courage and perseverance of its protagonists. if you accept theBiblical narratives as factual events or simply read as a series of books.You cannot ignore the compelling quality of the acts of the following people, who have been a part of human history for most of the existence of rational society. Who is the strongest Biblical character that exists?
The Physically Strong - Jacob, God Fighter
Jacob was the grandson of Abraham, the manGod foresaw that he would becomefather of many and son of Isaac and Rebekah. When they were being born, Jacob grabbed Esau by the heel, even though Esau was the older twin. Jacob in Hebrew means "the supplanter" or "grasping another's heel," all of which are apt descriptions of the man of that name. It means "to grasp" or "to appropriate" when translated literally. Furthermore, God revealed to Rebekah that her firstborn son would one day serve her younger brother.
Jacob cheated his twin brother Esau out of his inheritance over dinner when they were both adults. Later, Rebekah helped Jacob trick Isaac into blessing him instead of Esau. Because of this, Esau decided to kill his younger brother and Jacob was forced to flee. He experienced a revelation from angels and a path to heaven while traveling to his mother's hometown.
Jacob confronts his uncle Laban as he enters Haran. Jacob falls in love with Raquel, the younger of Laban's two daughters, but is tricked into marrying Leah, the older. But he doesn't give up and, in the end, Jacob marries the girl who captured his heart. For a long time, Jacob worked hard for Laban. Jacob managed to steal much of Laban's flock thanks to God's protection and his own cunning. God's final instruction to Jacob is that he return to his ancestral homeland. The problem is that Esau and Jacob will eventually have to work out their differences. Do you think your brother's anger has calmed down after all these years?
Jacob sends messengers to Esau when he approaches home. They inform him that Esau is coming with 400 soldiers. Jacob's situation seems increasingly dire. As a result of his careful planning, he was able to move a portion of his people and their valuables to the other side of the Jabbok River. He takes the time to say his prayers.
A man then shows up and the two engage in an all-night wrestling match. It hurts Jacob's hip, but Jacob still won't give up until he is blessed. Jacob saw that he was not fighting against a human being but against God, and he waited for God's blessing. Jacob names the place of departure "Peniel", which translates as "Face of God".
The power of dedication: Mary Magdalene, the other disciple
Maria Magdalenais an example of a strong Biblical woman. She was up there with the other 12 apostles, and although she was not one of the official disciples, she helped them in almost every way.
Mary was one of the women Jesus healed and one of the healed women who supported Jesus' ministry. This indicates that she used her funds to purchase items. And many others were helping to support them with their own resources, as the Amplified Bible says.
The 12 closest followers of Jesus fled to a shelter after his crucifixion.Peter had already denied Jesusthree times before he died, and Thomas didn't believe he could rise from the dead. After Jesus' death, he was virtually forgotten. Mary, however, was the one who got up early and visited Jesus' tomb to bury him, following Jewish law. AfterThe resurrection of JesusThis lady was the first to see it.
Now Mary was outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent down to look into the tomb and saw two angels dressed in white, sitting where Jesus' body had been, one at her head and one at her feet. She was asked: "Woman, why are you crying?"
"They took my Lord," he said, "and I don't know where they put him." With that, he turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but he didn't realize that he was Jesus.
He asked her: “Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for? Thinking he was the gardener, she said, "Sir, if he took it away, tell me where he put it and I'll look for it." Jesus said to her: “Mary”. She turned to him and shouted in Aramaic: "Raboni!" (meaning "Master").
Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them that he had told her these things.(Juan 20:11-18)
Mary was prepared to challenge anyone who stole Christ's body and even get it back herself while the disciples were protected. She also played a key role in spreading the news of Jesus' resurrection.
Strongest Faith: Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son
Job is just as devoted and committed to his God as anyone in the Bible, despite everything he's been through. However, the chapter ends by recounting Job's trials and the benefits he received for enduring them.
But, as depicted in countless passion plays and movies, Jesus perseveres through horrific torture and betrayal and rises from the dead. Who can perform miracles, survive horrible torture, and motivate billions of people for more than a millennium to do good deeds is unparalleled in human history.
To this day, Christianity remains the most practiced religion in the world, but few figures in history have been more divisive and controversial than Jesus.
Even Napoleon recognized that Jesus was more important than Alexander the Great, Caesar, Charlemagne, and himself. Napoleon said: "I know men and I tell them thatJesus Christhe is not a mere man. Between Him and all the other people in the world there is no possible term of comparison.
Jesus certainly did not have a military background. He avoided confrontation and taught his disciples to do the same. Despite this, he endured hardships and sacrifices that no other biblical figure has experienced. Because of what he did for us, Jesus should be at the top of our list.
The Almighty Creator: Yahweh, Jehovah
No matter what you call it, Yahweh, Jehovah, God the Father is the central figure of the Bible.Every man has no chance of reaching the level of God.. Absolutely nothing can compare to the awesome power of an omniscient and creator being who can create universes and creatures and then destroy them when they are not happy and recreate them.
Throughout the Bible, those who oppose God face dire consequences, such as being reduced to salt or perishing in the Great Flood. Those who attack the chosen God will face terrible calamities and overwhelming military misfortunes.
If there's one character you should avoid getting angry in the Bible, it's God. He is the source of strength and inspiration for all the other beings on this list, and without Him, the Israelites would never have achieved their greatest triumphs. Again, whether you trust God's existence is a matter of principle, but if you treat the Bible as a narrative, God emerges as the most compelling protagonist. The fact that multitudes of human beings have been convinced of his presence in the real world only adds to their disbelief.
No figure or literary work compares toThe impact of God in the Bible on the worldhistory and philosophy. Therefore, no other option on this list could be considered the strongest.

On Saturday 30 November St Andrew's Day will be celebrated across Scotland, commemorating the life of the patron saint.
St Andrew's Day is thought to have originated as a national celebration sometime during the reign of Malcolm III in the 11th century. However, it wasn't until the 18th when the popular celebration of St Andrew became commonplace, which was in a large way due to the advocacy of St Andrew's societies around the world.
St Andrew's Day focuses on celebrating the philosophy and principles of St Andrew, particularly his generosity and sense of fairness, which is embodied in Scottish culture.
The day is marked in a number of different ways, but normally involves a celebration of Scottish culture, including dancing, music, food, and drink, and spending time with friends and family.

Comments will be approved before showing up.


If there is someone who will show up when you need it – it is you. You have five kids and yet somehow managed to show up at our many conflicting events. You show up for those you care about. Your love and compassion for others is truly amazing. Even when it was hard, you loved and supported me anyways.
You have always given back to the community and for those who need it most which inspired me to become a Certified Fund Raising Executive. We are called to love on the “unlovable” and you live that out everyday. We are called to take care of the poor and you would probably invite them in because you want to know their story and show them hope lives.
In addition, you even helped start a project that helps people from different sides have a conversation. This is so needed in this time of some much division. We can disagree and still show love and compassion. I strive to have your kind of love for Jesus and for others everyday.
You are my Hero!


John 14:6 "... I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE..."
THE WAY CHURCH STAFF
The Way Church was founded in November of 2014. Pastor Paul and Angela were following the lead of The Holy Spirit to start a brand new ministry dedicated to showing every person possible that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and planned a meeting to gauge the interest of people in the community. Angela and her team set out 20 chairs in the rented facility for the meeting, before the meeting started they decided they needed 40, and by the time the meeting started 120 people were in attendance. Ever since that moment the Way Church has been on a mission to spread the Gospel by loving God and loving people.
The Way Church believes:
1. That Jesus lived a perfect life, died for our sins, was resurrected in victory, and is the only way to Heaven.
2. That The Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God.
3. That God loves you no matter what you look like, what you've done, or what's been done to you.
...The rest we are willing to discuss.
WHO WE ARE
The Way Church
Pastor: Paul Grider


In Fall 2016, my church in Cleveland (Our Lady of Victories) began using a new mass setting in addition to the previous two in regular “rotation”. The reason was pretty simple – the two we have include one that is great for stark services and simpler seasons (Missa Simplex) and one that is great for big formal celebrations (the much maligned at times, Mass of Creation). While both are nice settings, we were missing an element of liveliness and energy that the Mass so richly deserves. So along with the music director, the cantors began ‘trying out’ new settings privately, and we eventually settled on Mass of Joy and Peace.
Joy and Peace is a very upbeat setting, which (in my opinion) is much more fun to sing than either of the two others. Apparently others agree as well, giving rise to some very interesting arrangements online. My favorite being a contemporary arrangement by Daniel Houze. Moved into a rock beat, this version certainly hits the criteria for the concept of a “joyful noise”. The comments on YouTube, however, are less than positive. Several commenters lament the fact that it’s “too Protestant” or “liturgical abuse”. I find this quite ironic since the word “joy” is right in the title – apparently anything that sounds too joyful isn’t “Catholic” enough. Overall this makes me a bit frustrated as a young Catholic active in music ministry as a cantor. Apparently there is a very fine line somewhere that we are expected to hit – not too dirge-y and not too happy, or else our faith and reverence are called into question. Coupled with a widespread problem of participation in mass (In the past 20 years, I’ve only seen a handful of congregations that I would classify as “conscious, active, and full participation” as advised by the General Instruction of the Roman Missal), and you start to see the problem.
So what is the solution? Finding the middle line but broadening it with wide acceptance. If you don’t like the ‘energy’ of your mass setting, you can still participate, just not as loudly. If you feel sad during the mass rather than happy, speak up (and sing up). And if you find a church that has the right mix of traditional hymns with present-day worship, support it. In my case at OLV, I feel that many are supportive of the idea of energetic praise, we just need some of the ‘old guard’ to join in seeing the mass not as a simple ‘ticket punch’ (e.g., if I die this week, God knows I was here this Sunday, so I’m good) but as an expression of…. well… joy and peace!


Chapter Five: Christmas
On 25 December Great Britain and the United States (and many other countries) celebrate Christmas.
On 25 December Great Britain and the United States (and many other countries) celebrate Christmas. The word Christmas comes from the Old English “Cristes maesse”, Christ’s mass. On this day Christians celebrate the birth of Christ. Kindness and giving are the spirit of Christmas. Charles Dickens, the famous British writer, wrote A Christmas Carol①, a story about the true meaning of Christmas.
Why is Christmas celebrated on 25 December?
Christmas comes from two pagan festivals. People celebrated the winter solstice② on 21 or 22 December. The Roman emperors chose 25 December as the birthday of the sun (natalis solis). After the winter solstice, the days become longer and the sun is higher in the sky. In ancient Rome this was the season of Saturnalia. Saturnalia was a time of merrymaking③. During Saturnalia the Romans exchanged④ presents.
The pagan tribes of northern Europe enjoyed a 12-day winter festival called Yule. Yule had its own traditions of Yule cakes, fir trees⑤, holly, mistletoe and presents. Fir trees and holly are still a symbol⑥ of Christmas. Today a branch of mistletoe in the house has another meaning: when a boy and girl meet Under the mistletoe they usually kiss! The custom of kissing under the mistletoe is an ancient Celtic rite⑦.
② winter solstice：冬至。
⑤ fir trees：松树。
Medieval① Christmas was a long event.
It lasted twelve days like the Yule festival. Celebrations started on 25 December and ended on the night of 6 January.
Christmas is the biggest holiday on the American and British calendar. However, in Scotland, New Year is more important. In Great Britain and the United States people prepare for Christmas weeks before 25 December. Cities and towns are beautifully decorated with Christmas symbols: the Christmas tree, Santa Claus, colorful lights and much more. Shop windows are full of presents for everyone. People are busy buying presents. There are Santa Clauses everywhere. On street corners people sing Christmas carols. In Britain many children go carol singing with an adult.

Christmas today respects many of the old traditions and has added new ones. The modern Christmas tree originated in③ western Germany long ago. The Germans put up a fir tree in their homes and decorated it with biscuits④ and candles⑤. German settlers took this tradition to North America in the 17th century. By the 19th century Christmas trees were very popular in the
In Britain the Christmas tree became popular after 1840. The German Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s husband, took the Christmas tree to the British Royal Family. Soon the Christmas tree became popular all over Great Britain. There is a big tree every year in Trafalgar Square, London.

Today America’s most famous Christmas tree is in
Today America’s most famous Christmas tree is in the Rockefeller Center, New York City. The Empire State Building in New York City is one of the tallest buildings in the world. At Christmas the top of the building is illuminated with red and green lights! Today almost every Christian family has a decorated Christmas tree at home or in the garden. Some families put up the tree on Christmas Eve and others put it up at the beginning of December. Many families put a Nativity① scene② under the Christmas tree. St. Francis of Assisi created the first Nativity scene in the 1200’s!
Many Americans wear Christmas clothes during the Christmas season. These are clothes with Christmas colours and symbols.
Christmas crackers③ are an old tradition. They were invented in London, Two people pull the cracker until it “bangs④” and opens. Inside there is usually a small present, a paper hat and a joke.
In the United States there are “Christmas shops” in many cities, They sell all types of Christmas trees, ornaments⑤ and other decorations⑥ for the home, “Christmas shops” are open all year long, so you can buy your Christmas tree in June! It is usual to send Christmas cards to relatives⑦ and friends. The first Christmas card was designed in Britain by John Callcott Horsley in 1843. A thousand copies of the card were printed in London. The design was a family party with the words “A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you.”
In the mid-19th century a shop owner in Albany, New York, made a card that said, “Christmas greetings from Pease’s Great Variety Store.” This was the beginning of the big Christmas card industry①.

The figure② of Santa Claus comes from St. Nicholas
The figure② of Santa Claus comes from St. Nicholas, a 4th century Christian bishop of Asia Minor. He was famous for his generosity and kindness. The Dutch settlers of New York brought the tradition of Sinterklaas (Santa Claus) to America. Father Christmas, or Santa Claus, is an important part of the Christmas tradition, Children write letters to him and ask for special presents.
Today we see Santa Claus as an old man with a white beard, dressed in a red suit. He drives a sleigh③ pulled by reindeer and comes down the chimney with toys for the children. This image of Santa Claus was created by the American cartoonist④ Thomas Nast in 1863. American and British children put out a stocking⑤ on Christmas Eve because they hope to receive presents from Santa Claus. Then they go to bed early because they want Santa Claus to come. Many Christians go to church services at midnight and others go on Christmas morning.
Christmas presents are usually opened on Christmas morning. After Christmas dinner many families listen to the traditional Queen’s Speech in Britain and watch special Christmas television programmes. Children play with their new toys. In Britain some people go for a Christmas Day swim in the sea or in a lake. In Hyde Park in London some courageous people swim in the Serpentine!

JOHN AVELINO “JAVI” EDUBAS IS HERE!
With hearts full of praise and gratitude, My wife Mariz and I are joyfully announce, that we have another special gift from God for the birth of our baby boy -John Avelino. He was born last November 29, 2016 at 9:47 p.m. at Saint John de Baptish Medical Center, Calamba Laguna at 2.8 kls and 49 c.m.
We thank God for all his guidance, protection and watching my wife and my baby at all the time.
Thanks to Dra. Cristine Santos for her full support and her staff nurse during the delivery of our baby. Thanks to my in-laws, brother and sister who are extending their prayers and full support to my wife and our son.
Javi’s born, in God’s perfect time and he is the answer of my question that came to my mind during the preparation period in his coming. This is the questions made up into my mind, and I ask my wife all the time” Why we need to schedule the delivery of our baby?instead of waiting him to be born in God’s perfect time?”
This is how we made our own plan for the delivery of our baby Javi.
- My wife and I are planning for December 18, 2016,but the doctor said” No” don’t wait that date, maybe you will start to labor. The doctors suggested to my wife that it should be within December 6-12,2o16.
- So, again my wife and I discussed and we are desided to deliver the baby by this coming December 12, 2016.
- After one week of dicussion, we change the plan again by December 10,2016 because we have a lot of things we consider. So my wife, the whole family and I are set already on that date.
- Finally, God’s answer my “Why“, On November 29, 2016 when I was in the office my wife send a message” Daddy I will be going to hospital now because I encountered water discharge already”-wife said. So from that moment, I can’t understand my true feelings, it was mix the emotion of excitement and fear.
Being a good parent is a natural thing in the world. Now we are 100% in taking care of our new baby and of course to our eldest son as well. The whole family are preparing that both Eljohn Marc” our eldest son” and John Avelino will be treated and love them equally.
To all who congratulate us, including my officemates here in Kuwait, we thank you for all your kindness to drop a congratulation message for the birth of our new baby boy.
We are so in love with him and feel incredibly grateful to have been entrusted with this miraculous gift from our Almighty Father.
Today, December 1, 2016 my wife Mariz and our youngest son John Avelino is discharged in the hospital and now safe at home.

Today I attended a local MOPS group… (Moms of Preschoolers, had to google that!). I was the guest speaker, imagine that! The opening speaker read a verse from the Bible to begin, she spoke on how we (women) focus so much on how we look & our self image. This is the verse she read… Proverbs 31:30 “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. ”
We put so much emphasis on how we look, how skinny (or not) we are, our hair, make up, clothing, that we forget we have tiny little beings watching our every single move. Living your life for Christ and setting an example for your children can be so difficult. I’m living proof of that. I struggle to set a good example for Maysen. I struggle with being the bigger person and not saying, I LOOK FAT, and with sticking to a promise even though I don’t want to (wah). I want my daughter to love herself. I want her to be happy & fulfilled in life.
With all that said, here’s a tip for you mom’s dreading coming to a photo session or putting off scheduling that session because you think it will be so stressful.
It’s not that big a deal.
Seriously. Calm down. They are only little once. Don’t let them see you freak out.
Let them wear what they want. Let them pick their nose, it doesn’t bother me, I’ll wait it out. When you come to the studio, it’s overwhelming to your tiny nugget. There is a lot, I mean a LOT of stuff to look at, let them wander! I don’t mind. They are tiny little people, exploration is how they learn. Let them learn. I have the patience of a saint. I can wait on the perfect shot for as long as I need to and if you can’t just walk away. Take a breather.
Calm down mama. Every little thing is gonna be alright.
I need rules for parents – no yelling, no screaming, no huffing, no puffing, no frustration, no aggravation, no calling it quits. I’ve seen it all!

In Catholic Bibles and in collections of apocryphal writings, the story of the rededication of the Second Temple is found in 1 Maccabees. This feast also Raging bull essays the temporary triumph of the Israelites over Hellenistic influences, which allowed them to live their uniquely scriptural and holy way of life.
Celebrating this miracle led to the use of the prophetically significant nine-branched Menorah known as a Chanukiah. Interestingly, the Menorah gives light via the mechanism of olive oil, which represents the presence of the Holy Spirit, as it does allegorically in the lamps of the five wise virgins in the Parable of the Ten Virgins Matthew In addition, the lamps held by the five wise virgins also represent the truth given to mankind through Yahshua, who is the Light of the World, and who gives all of His born-again followers the same ability to Raging bull essays lights in the world through His Holy Spirit Matthew 5: The Fish or Ichthys as a Symbol for Christianity: This symbol is formed with a stylized image of a fish, which can be used alone or with various words placed inside it.
This symbol was used by the Early Church to identify some Christian communities and burials. This symbol is Scriptural, and was actually introduced by Christ when referring to His death on the Cross, and His miraculous resurrection into everlasting life that would follow it: For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
In addition, though few scholars have made the connection due to their unfamiliarity with the Star Gospel, the Sign of Jonah is also a reference to the Zodiac sign of Aquarius the Water-Bearer, as well as the neighboring sign of Pisces the Fishes.
For example, Pisces is represented by two fish swimming in different directions, but that are tethered to each other by a band. Now, the fish of Pisces that is swimming directly toward Aquarius is partly a symbol for the faithful, Spirit-filled Churchwhile Aquarius is a symbol for the divine grace and judgment given both before and after the Great Flood.
Aquarius was classically depicted as a man holding a big heavenly urn that has an inexhaustible supply of water pouring out of it.
This water is flowing into two streams, with one running directly into the mouth of a big fish constellation known as Piscis Australis. At its most basic level, the man with the urn in Aquarius is a symbol for Yahweh dispensing His righteous judgment against sin and evil through the Great Flood Genesis 6: Likewise, it depicts the much smaller storm that drove some terrified sailors to toss Jonah into the sea Jonah 1: However, it also signifies the perfect Grace dispensed by the resurrected Christ as He pours out His Holy Spirit on all mankind.
This is likely why Yahshua asked His disciples to follow a man carrying a water jug just before the Last Supper See Luke As discussed in my Language of God Book Seriesmany stories that are immortalized in the Bible and the Gospel in the Stars have truly remarkable connections to all four of the Judeo-Christian symbols discussed in this essay.
Because of these associations, these symbols are directly connected to the hidden Language of God, and were likely divinely chosen to teach us spiritual truths that were, are, and always will be associated with Judaism and Christianity.
An Ancient Christian Grave Marker Displaying Fish Symbols Though it would be impossible to deny that the symbols of Judeo-Christianity have false occult applications, the point of this essay is that they were misappropriated, and have a legitimate place in Judeo-Christianity.
Despite their exalted status and meaning, however, these divinely chosen symbols were never meant to be worshipped as idols, or to become more important than the one triune God they reveal amazing truths about.
They were not meant to be idols, but icons symbolizing the greatest truths of our faith. Indeed, anyone who worships these symbols like the Pagans is doing a great disservice to Yahweh, who is far greater than any symbol or material thing in His Creation.
The whole point of this essay has been to show that the four symbols associated with Judeo-Christianity - the Cross, the Menorah, the Star of David and the Fish - have a holy origin. These symbols can be viewed like the Great Pyramid. They did not know, or had forgotten its true purpose, and so they ascribed it to their false gods, and used it as a Pagan temple rather than the altar to Yahweh God that it was originally created to be.
But does the misappropriation of the Great Pyramid make its message of Christ and Salvation any less powerful or true? No false association could ever destroy the beauty of the truth! Do not be fooled!
Though many may come and say Yahshua is not the Son of God, or the Word of God made flesh, they are liars! The same is true for the four symbols associated with Judeo-Christianity. Though many will say they are evil, and will find all sorts of seemingly convincing proofs, they are mistaken!
The truth is that God appropriated these symbols for His use before the foundations of the world were made, and no Pagan or occultist can change that - no matter how hard they try to destroy or misappropriate, misrepresent or mislabel every holy symbol that Yahweh God created as good!

Identifying the huge logic fail is left as an exercise for the reader
My head is spinning.
Try as I might I cannot see any connection between Noah's Ark and gay "marriage".
Never the less there is one if an opinion piece that was sent to me is to be believed.
It seems that science cannot verify the Biblical story of Noah as related in Genesis therefore we have to choose the science over the Bible's account.
Which implies the Bible is wrong in its view of homosexuality.
Which means we should all embrace gay marriage.
