Top 10 Reasons I Believe Voting Democrat is Voting Christian Values
10) I do not belong to the Flat Earth Society for Jesus. Science is in the business of discovering God’s fingerprints. God, and creation, is much more fantastic than we can even begin to discover or imagine. And poisoning the Earth without believing there are consequences is foolhardy.
9) This is a democracy. Therefore, the government should reflect the ideals and beliefs of the people. My beliefs as a Christian and a human being mandate that we feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and care for the sick. How Big Business has convinced us these values, at the core of our faith, are non-Christian and un-American is stunning to me. Tax me more.
8) I believe every word Jesus said about homosexuality, and here they are: ________________. Did I mention that Jesus talked about our responsibility to the poor 407 times? Explain to me again how Republicans are voting “Christian values.”
7) Science has proven that homo- and hetero-sexuality is a continuum, and we are born with the selection made. Every time the Bible condemns homosexuality, it does it in the context of immoral and/or licentious behavior. So sure, it makes sense that people who want to live a committed life, having sex with only one person till death do them part, should be forbidden from marrying on moral grounds. And not having to defend the statements of Leviticus about homosexuality relieves me from having to defend Leviticus saying a woman should never cut her hair, never speak in church, that parents should kill children for disobedience, and a man is obligated to father children with his brother’s widow.
6) As much of a tragedy as I believe abortion to be, of all the things I would give government control of, a woman’s body and reproductive system is not on the list. That most agonizing of decisions needs to be made by the woman, her family, her medical practitioner and spiritual counselor. Not to mention, some religions here in America believe life begins at birth. One religion doesn’t get to make practicing others illegal.
5) Which doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be doing everything we can to stop abortion. I would begin with making sure everyone has health care, a high school education, and birth control. Not the opposite. And a way for an unplanned child not to perpetuate the cycle of poverty.
4) The arts are of central importance to a culture. It is the art and architecture of the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians that speak to us of who they are as a people, thousands of years later. The pyramids, the Acropolis, the fantastic paintings and sculptures, and government-built theaters where the world’s great playwrights performed speak to the heart of who a people are. Killing funding for the arts is saying that we as a people do not cherish creativity and imagination. I beg to differ on the deepest possible level.
3) Capitalism and Christianity are two philosophies that could not, at their core, be more at odds. And I am not for overthrowing our capitalist economy, but I am for using it more thoughtfully, and to a more compassionate end. Yet Big Business had convinced many good people that MINE should be the most important word in American’s financial vocabulary. In fact, they’ve convinced many Christians that what you keep, closed-fisted, is much more important than what you give. We’re not all in this together. We’re not responsible for each other. Not at all. Except that Jesus said the opposite.
2) Today I saw a bumper sticker with a cross and an assault rifle. I am STILL pouring over the Gospels to find one noun or verb that could link those images in any imaginable way. And I still don’t understand how those who own guns legally and understand the respect and training having a gun requires aren’t the loudest voices for sensible gun control.
1) It is important to operate from a position of love and compassion as the basis of strength rather than coming at things from anger and fear and condemnation. I also enjoy voting the party that has better music and comedy. But maybe it’s that Arts thing.


Years ago when I thought I had it all figured out I abandoned God.
Let me start over, my culture has a tendency to lean toward the legalistic side of Christianity, it always seemed more like you had to do certain things in a certain way at a certain time to earn God’s approval and ultimately earn your salvation.
Before my wife was my wife we did the step by step process of getting married, before you could get married you were expected to get baptized. Now let me be clear, this wasn’t a rule written down anywhere this was more like an unwritten thing, because anyone who didn’t do it this way was talked about behind their backs and judged.
So we did the baptism classes and learned a lot, I actually really enjoyed it we had a wonderful teacher, he knew his Bible and taught it well. He is also the one who later baptized us and married us.
But after that was all said and done and life sank in we started to drift away from church, not anyone’s fault or anything but about a year or two after our wedding we stopped going.
We drifted into married life, working and trying to save money and doing things our own way and eventually church and God became a guilt that we wanted to avoid.
Year after year went by and family would bring up church and ask if we were there on Sunday, of course our answer was no, we were tired from work and wanted to sleep, we only have one day a week to relax and going to church is not relaxing, you gotta sit on those wooden benches and it’s so long and we had excuse after excuse as to why we didn’t go.
God was not a part of our life, and we became ok with that. We told ourselves that we would get back to that spot one day but not now.
Then one day, I was at work and hiding from it, and God ever so subtly placed something in front of me. A book written by a pastor and his wife about marriage, I had never before thought a pastor would or could say the things this guy was saying, he talked about everything including sex, marriage and anger and well the list goes on but the point is in my mind pastors walked and talked a certain way because they’re pastors but not this guy he was a regular guy who had a lot of life experience and happened to be a pastor as well.
I read his book and he strongly encouraged reading the Bible, so I went home, found my old Bible and dusted it off, I began reading and for the first time in my life I read it without all the rules of religion, like I said we weren’t churchgoers at this time and reading the Bible without any blinders on was amazing.
I’m not advising this but if you ever find yourself away from church for an extended period of time, pick up a Bible and read it before you go back.
Every person has a filter, and this filter is what the Bible has to go through to get to your head, and when you grow up going to traditional churches and doing the traditional things you tend to look at the Bible through a traditional filter.
Without a filter in my head filtering out the things in the Bible that church didn’t want to talk about I found out that some of these traditional teachings were simply not found in God’s Word.
One of those traditions was the process to get married and it went kind of like this, find a girl, go to church, get baptized, get married, have kids and so on, but when I sat down and studied the Word I wondered where this step by step tradition came from. I found that Jesus got baptized when He was thirty and He never got married or had kids, the tradition told me that baptism was part of the process to get married, Jesus obviously didn’t get married and He was baptized.
Baptism, I learned was something that you do as a public declaration that you have surrendered to God and has absolutely no bearing on what another person does, even your future spouse. Deep down I knew that but never really thought about it before.
That’s just one example of what I learned while reading the Bible and not going to church. Don’t get me wrong I am now an avid churchgoer and so are my wife and kids, we love going to church and get disappointed when we miss a Sunday.
What I’m trying to get at here is that when we grow up a certain way doing the same things over and over and we are taught the same things we tend to get into a state of “that’s just the way it is” and it saddens me. If we are taught that something must be done a certain way we think Jesus declared it, then we learn that He didn’t and it can be confusing. What we have in our heads as the truth may not be the actual truth. There is nothing wrong with traditions but when the tradition becomes scripture then tradition has overstepped it’s boundaries.
Not going to church and reading the Bible made me feel like my eyes were now open for the first time, please do not take that as anything bad toward any church, if that’s what you’re getting, you’re using your filter.
The Bible tells us to test everything and I now realize that some of the traditions I knew failed the test. It’s hard for people to accept a teaching other than what they have been taught especially if they won’t go to the source and test it for themselves. That’s where I was for a long time, this is what I’ve been taught and I’m not going to stray from it.
God pulled me in at a time when I least expected it, I was not in a good state of mind, I think He waited until my head had emptied itself of all other teachings and then He filled it with His Word, He used a book not written by Him to bring be to the one that was.
God is Awesome, God is Love, but He is also Just, and I needed to see Him for who He is and in my head before I didn’t see Him clearly, now I’m beginning to see His character and learning more than I ever did when I was using my filter.
God had to work His way through my filter before he ever got to me and this is what my filter looked like…
That may not be the best illustration but I think it serves it’s purpose, God should not have to bypass the filter to get to me, all of those dynamics should be filtered through God, not the other way around.
So before I bore you I will end this but first I feel like I should probably leave a little disclaimer.
Church is great, you should go to church, you should be a part of the body of Christ. I am not saying leave your church, I am saying that some churches are filters and we need to be sure we aren’t confusing tradition as scripture.
Friends, family, coworkers and the rest of society will benefit when you stop using them as a filter for how you see God, not that those people are bad, but that they are not to be put in the way of God.
So I think what we need to do is “test everything” against scripture, we cannot just accept what someone says if we aren’t willing to see what God says and that’s the whole point of this post, don’t be a follower of men but rather a follower of Jesus.
Jesus didn’t follow the traditions in place when He entered the scene, He gave us our direct link to God the Father and that link wasn’t found at the bottom of a filter.
Thanks for sharing.

We are sitting at a cafe enjoying breakfast as we reflect on what we’ve experienced so far and prepare for the day. We are served the food in shifts as if they prepare one dish at a time, serve it, and then prepare the next. So as the last one is served the first served is finished. Mark’s prayer for us, was that we would have fun and enjoy the food. His prayer has been richly answered.
The following are the things we want to remember/our ebenezers.
We have bad times of being weary, when we have felt worn out by being used by God. We ache for the people.
We have learned about ministries fighting human trafficking and then noticed individuals that may be in the business in the hotel we are staying, guiding our prayers for specific individuals.
We walked through a place that at one time, not so long ago, was a place of unimaginable atrocities of great cruelty and torture. Hell on earth. We want to remember that an eternity without Christ is worse. And we want to share the Good News of Christ to others so that they may not experience the cruelties and darkness of hell.
We want to remember that when we share our stories about how we have experienced God’s amazing grace others are impacted by God’s glory.
Cambodia Dream Team
> On Friday morning, we went to the Chab Dai Coalition offices. This organization is a coalition of more than 48 Christian organizations in Cambodia that are working with victims and those vulnerable of being abused, exploited, or trafficked. In the afternoon we visited the Genocide Museum, Tuol Sleng. Thousands of atrocities took place here during the 1970’s when the Pol Pot regime was in power. It was difficult to stand in the cells and look at the metal beds where prisoners had been tortured and then murdered. But it makes you appreciate the resiliency of the human spirit because the Cambodian people are cheerful and friendly. Friday night we went on a ferry boat ride on the Mekong River. > > This morning (Saturday) we attended a house church that was 2 1/2 hours away. We were actually just about one mile from the Vietnam border. One of Mark Fishel’s cambodian pastor friends has been working in this area for the last five months. It was similar to Grand Savann in that it was a small village at the end of a long dirt road. There were about 25 people sitting on the floor in this small room most of whom were women. The men had went to Vietnam to try and find work. After some singing and praying I was asked to give my testimony. I had not anticipated this type of audience so it was difficult trying to determine where these ladies were spiritually, many of whom could not read. I did my best to present the gospel, as part of my life story, while working with an interpreter. The pastor’s wife served a delicious meal after the service. > > On Saturday evening we had supper at a pastor’s house here in Phnom Penh. He and his wife are from the Phillipines but have felt called to come to Cambodia. They have two daughters, ages 5 and 7. > > Tomorrow (Sunday), we will be attending church in the morning and another one in the afternoon. > > Please continue to pray for the well being of our team and for safe travels. > > Thank you. God’s Peace. >
With Eternal Love,
Cambodian Dream Team

Valentine's Day, celebrated on February 14, is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate those we love - to reach out to the one we love - to make it a festival of romance and affection. While some people may think, Valentine's Day is just another commercial holiday for flower and candy shops, Valentine's Day has deeper roots and does reach in the silent recesses of a human heart. It all started in the heart of St. Valentine. Valentine lived around 270, in the midst of the bloody persecution of the Christians. He was martyred by Emperor Claudius II in ancient Rome.
Saint Valentine died as a Roman martyr priest. The saga has it that the first "Valentine's Day" gift was actually sent by the Saint himself to the daughter of his jailer, to whom he felt a deep bond of love. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. The 14th of February is probably a remnant from a period when a pagan festival occurred around that date.
It was a day of joyful celebration, embracing the beginning work in the vineyards and on the fields after the long winter months. Valentine's Day as a day of celebrating love also stems from the belief that this is the day when birds begin their mating. The Christian church adapted this tradition and chose February 14 as the day to honor Saint Valentine. Saint Valentine is now considered the patron of lovers and the helper of those unhappily in love. Valentine's Day in the middle of the eighteenth century is summed up in this verse printed in Poor Robin's Almanac in 1757: "This month bright Phoebus enters Pisces, The maids will have good store of kisses, For always when the fun comes there, Valentine's Day is drawing near, And both the men and maids incline To chuse them each a Valentine; And if a man gets one he loves, He gives her first a pair of gloves; And, by the way, remember this, To seal the favour with a kiss.
" Although no longer a day of honor for Saint Valentine in the Christian calendar - Valentine was dropped from the liturgical calendar in 1969 - Valentine's Day still inspires lovers to the present day to give kind acts of love to one another. There are several ways to show ones love and appreciation on Valentine's Day: Valentine's Day Cards are a popular way to show affection. There are Valentine's Day cards with wise or witty rhymes, open or supple declaration of love, beautiful flower arrangements or cuddly teddy bears. There is something of every taste. Valentine's Day Recipes are often special concoctions made with love and creativity to help celebrate Valentine's Day. After all, doesn't love go through the stomach! Aromatic taste, lovely decoration, romantic candle light - all helps together to make for an enchanting Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day Flowers delight every loving heart. Flowers are among the most prominent symbols of love. They make the partner feel appreciated and valued.
Valentine's Day flowers may well be the most important flowers you send all year. Flowers speak to the heart through their beauty, their simple elegance, their uplifting scent and long lasting aroma. When words fail, say it with flowers! Flowers convey your love and care. A Gift Basket for Valentine's Day is another special and personal gift idea, filled with things your partner loves: a precious aftershave or perfume; a wellness gift like a relaxing massage; a Candle-Light-Dinner for two in the favorite restaurant; or Mon Cheri in a heart-shaped gift box. Or give your loved one an extravagant Valentine's Day gift - maybe a symbolic tree of the rain forest with certificate, or a bottle of balsam fir essential oil to uplift the heart. There are many ways to help celebrate Valentine's Day.
Any sign of love and care, no matter how big or small, will bring the message of love from one heart to another. Love flows from the lover to the beloved and back again to close a circle, strengthening the bond of friendship, love and marriage. Valentine's Day is truly a day for sweethearts. It is an old tradition that had its beginning with Saint Valentine's gift of love. This gift of love keeps on giving throughout the history of mankind for another thousand years to come. Nothing else matters but love.

Please watch the video below re: the Cursillo 2020 postponement.
So many of us have been or are being affected by the COVID-19 virus pandemic. Our lives have been disrupted beyond anything we could have ever imagined. We are asked to be apart from loved ones, friends and co-workers, brothers and sisters in the church and more. We agree to do so because we understand the danger this virus presents not only to ourselves, but to those around us and to the community at large. As Christians we also understand we must respect authority and comply with government regulations and advisories.
We have heard many differing possible outcomes over the course of the next few months. Some of them might still require additional time of social distancing and perhaps even if the restrictions begin to loosen up, they will probably be gradual and not a return to gatherings as usual.
Your Secretariat discussed at our last meeting several factors that may affect our ability to conduct a proper Cursillo weekend in August as planned. These include but are not limited to:
For these reasons the Secretariat, with heavy hearts, has decided to postpone the weekend until August 2021. We do so out of love and compassion for each and every one of you and in particular for those who are the most vulnerable. Our Rector and Rectora, Mike Rager and Ann Fox, have been advised and they have been asked to remain as Rector and Rectora for the 2021 weekends.
We believe what we are experiencing presents us with a unique opportunity to respond to this crisis with love, compassion and support. Who of your family, friends or neighbors needs food, supplies or just someone to talk to? This is where the church shines at its best. Remember, we may be suffering but God suffered also. We can confront this pandemic thru His mercy and grace.
Hold tight to each other. None of us should face this crisis alone. We want to encourage you to establish Cursillo groups using the internet, a basic Zoom license costs you nothing and you can still see and pray with each other. We will have a video message available to you next week explaining what we intend to accomplish this year. Please be on the lookout for it.
May God bless His people and cover us with His protection.
The Secretariat is the administrative organizational arm of Cursillo. Each Cursillo movement has its own Secretariat. The responsibility of the Secretariat is to ensure that the Cursillo movement is alive and well while following the spiritual direction of the church (the body of Christ) and its Head, Jesus.

Statement of Faith
These core beliefs make up the foundation upon which all our ministry endeavors are based:
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God revealing the love of God to the world. 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; John 3:16.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6.
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-4 and 1:29; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 and 4:15.
We believe that all men everywhere are lost and face the judgment of God, that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, and that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. Furthermore we believe that God will reward the righteous with eternal life in heaven, and that He will banish the unrighteous to everlasting punishment in hell. Luke 24:46-47; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 2 Corinthians 5:10-11; Ephesians 1:7 and 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life. John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8 and 4:31; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Galatians 5:16-18; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:6-10.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment. 1 Corinthians 15:51-57; Revelation 20:11-15.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the church. 1 Corinthians 12:12, 27; Ephesians 1:22-23.
We believe that the ministry of evangelism (sharing and proclaiming the message of salvation only possible by grace through faith in Jesus Christ) and discipleship (helping followers of Christ grow up into maturity in Christ) is a responsibility of all followers of Jesus Christ. Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15; 1 Peter 3:15.
We believe God’s plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of marriage, that God created man and woman as unique biological persons made to complete each other. God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female. Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:6-9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9.
We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord, to His authority over our lives, and to the ministry of evangelism. Matthew 9:35-38; 22:37-39, and 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15 and 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10; Colossians 2:6-10; 1 Peter 3:15.
We believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end; and that we must have concern for the physical and spiritual needs of our fellowmen. Psalm 139:13; Isaiah 49:1; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 22:37-39; Romans 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10.
Continuing the lifelong work of Billy Graham, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association exists to support and extend the evangelistic calling and ministry of Franklin Graham by proclaiming the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to all we can by every effective means available to us and by equipping the church and others to do the same.

CHRISTMAS GRACE is the story of a small town toy store owner who is facing going out of business from a larger toy company that is moving in. As the two rival toy store owners face off, Gary is put out of business but reopens due to a successful innovation that he created after his store closed. Gary reaches out to his corporate rival and extends the grace and love that Christmas is all about.
Project Director Kieth Perna observed “my vision for Christmas Grace is to create a Christmas classic that incorporates a strong message about the actually meaning behind the celebration of Christmas and do this with a compelling and heartwarming story that will engage the audience and provide a way for God to speak to them through the story and message.”
Currently shooting principle photography, look for this heartwarming inspirational story from Crystal Creek Media and Bright Horizon Pictures this Christmas season.


“A child who does not play is not a child, but the man who does not play has lost forever the child who lived in him.” — Pablo Neruda
The Church harmonizes beauty and truth in the natural and the supernatural, sanctifying months and days. In this sense, ordinary days can be lived with extraordinary joy and hope. In the Church, June is the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. If May is Mary’s month, it makes perfect sense that the spring days of May precede the month that honors the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Ordinary days and encounters with others can be sanctified by God’s grace—imbued with God’s love. Every day is full of mystery, wonder and redemption. In the long and delightful days of summer, we naturally seek happy times and gatherings which bring families and friends together. We were made to share good things and good times.
In the little things we can enjoy a glimpse of God’s goodness—ice cream shared with friends, a moment of solitude on a cool evening walk, or a family BBQ. Summer beckons us to celebration and the goodness of God. The simple joy of homemade ice cream can be a moment to thank God (that he created dairy cows!). But seriously, God’s goodness is offered to us in such simple pleasures. June is also National Dairy month. So, why not? God and ice cream are a great combination. Kids and adults agree.
Your inner child called and wants ice cream for dinner. Here is a tried-and-true recipe for homemade ice cream. Enjoy. Play. Celebrate.


Called To Worship, Chosen To Serve, Anointed To Praise......
Remember this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.This is the true joy in life, being used of God to help serve others, to see others come to Christ.
The total purpose of living is sharing, winning and devoting one's life for total service and praise to God.

Former Bishop Thomas Dupre, the first Roman Catholic bishop in the United States to be indicted on a sexual-abuse claim during the flood of abuse accusations against church officials, has died. He was 83, the Diocese of Springfield (Massachusetts) said. He died outside the diocese, but the location and the cause of his death weren’t disclosed.
Dupre, who became bishop in the mid-1990s, cited health reasons for his sudden retirement in 2004. Months later he was indicted on charges he raped two boys in the 1970s, but the case was dropped because prosecutors determined the statute of limitations had expired.
Before Dupre became bishop he had been an aide of Bishop Joseph Maguire, who led the diocese from 1977 to 1992 and faced allegations after retirement that clergy sex abuse and a cover-up had happened on his watch.


I apologise for abandoning this blog, I've been too busy to visit it lately as I've had exam revision and computer/laptop problems on top of other social media accounts to maintain, making it increasingly difficult to run this blog. Which makes me a little sad, because I enjoy posting here, and it helps me develop my interest in names even more due to the research that I put into the posts here. I think I'm sorry to say that until I get everything fixed and my exams are out of the way, once a month or once every three weeks will be the normal posting time for me here.
Anyway, even though it's almost the end of Easter Monday, I decided to post about names related to Easter. I hope I'm not too late!
Pascaline is of French origins and has a meaning of "relating to Easter" as being a feminisation of Pascal. International variations include the Italian Pasqualina and the Spanish Pascuala.
Anastasia is of Russian origins and has a meaning of "resurrection". In England and Wales, Anastasia ranked at #276 in the popularity charts in 2014, whilst in the United States, it had a ranking of #240 that same year.
Dagny is an Old Norse name composed of the elements "dagr", meaning "day", and "ny", meaning "new", which could be a nice reference to the resurrection of Jesus or for new life in general that enters the world at Easter time.
Amarantha is a flower name which itself comes from Amarantos, which has a meaning of "unfading" in Ancient Greek, which could refer to the Easter reminder that Jesus is still living.
Magdalene is of Biblical origins and comes from a title which had a meaning of "from Magdala". Mary Magdalene was cleared of evil spirits by Jesus and saw his crucifixion and resurrection.
Simon is of Hebrew origins and has a meaning of "he has heard". Simon was one of the most important apostles in the New Testament, and in the Easter story, he went to Jesus's tomb after Mary Magdalene had told her about her message from Him. Simon noticed a cloth in the tomb and peered hard at it, and then entered the tomb. In England and Wales, SImon ranked at #305 in the popularity charts in 2014, whilst in the United States, it ranked at #231 in the popularity charts that same year.
The name of the season itself is starting to be used as a unisex name, and is of English origins. It has a meaning of "from the name of the Christian festival, which is based on Eostre, the name of a Germanic spring goddess".
John is the English form of Iohannes, which itself is the Latin form of Ioannes, which is of Greek origins and has a meaning of "Yahweh is gracious". In the Easter story, John was the other apostle who went with Simon to the tomb of Jesus. He entered the tomb with him, discovering that Jesus was not there. John and Simon understood that Jesus had risen. In England and Wales, John ranked at #101 in the popularity charts in 2014, whilst in the United States, John ranked at #26 in the popularity charts that same year.


Worship is an important aspect of our church life.
We offer two services
10:45am Praise & Worship
The Lord's supper is
served each Sunday and is open to all Christians.
New Covenant is a part of
The Christian Church
Christian Church members are a cross section of the community. We are people of varied religious backgrounds who gather believing that every person must follow Christ as he or she personally understands the New Testement. We are part of an American Christian movement which affirms the importance of personal faith. Because faith is personal, we do not require that members accept some dogmatic ideas and deny others. We welcome people from all denominations regardless of previous affiliation.
What Disciples Believe
Open Communion. The Lord's Supper, or Communion, is celebrated in weekly worship and is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
The Oneness of the Church. All Christians are called to be one in Christ and to seek opportunities for common witness and service.
Freedom of Belief. As Disciples, we are called together around two essentials of faith: a belief in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and that Christians are free to follow their conscience guided by Bible study, and Holy Spirit and prayer. We are expected to extend that freedom to others.
Baptism by Immersion. In baptism, the old self-centered life is set aside, washed away and a new life of trust in God begins. Although Disciples practice baptism by immersion, other baptism traditions are honored.
The Ministry of Believers. Both ministers and lay persons lead in worship, service and spiritual growth.
And above all that, Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God, who offers saving grace to all who seek it through His Son.
We believe in the ministry of all believers. You will see men and women and youth serving in all phases of church life. Giving to support the church and it's ministry is viewed as a Christian opportunity.

Easter Box Project
Following on from their successful Christmas Box Project, the Red Balloon Foundation have continued to support the teaching of RE in the school by supplying our Year 2 - Year 6 classes with an Easter Box containing resources related to the events of Holy Week. The imaginative resources are supported by a PowerPoint presentation that helps teachers and pupils navigate their way through the story from the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem to his resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Year 4 teacher, Mrs Brand, enthused about the Easter Box Project commenting, " The Easter box materials have really brought the telling of the Easter story to life. The children thoroughly enjoyed Luke and Lizzy's presentation which has really helped develop their understanding of the significance of Easter to Christians."


“But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,” 2 Cor. 6:4
In our verse today Paul is talking about trouble and how they are opportunities to prove ourselves to the Lord. It is a fact we are born into a world of trouble, and we must face them. There are many types of troubles. Some are from the Lord when he corrects us, and those who can recognize these type of trouble for what they are, change their ways and are happy for the correction. (Job 5:6-11, 17) There are other types of troubles also. Being born into this world does not exempt us from any of them.
If you are loved by the Lord you will receive trouble from the Lord. When the Lord was giving the message, to the church at Laodicea, he said “as many as I love, I rebuke and chasten.” (Rev. 3:19) These ills are not just something the Lord gives out to have some fun. When we look at the words in this statement we find a rebuke is like a reprimand, and to be chastened is to be punished for the purpose of rehabilitating us. The rebukes and chastenings come upon us because of our own failures. When you are punished by G-d, if you will turn to the Lord at times like these he is merciful and will not forget you. (Deut. 4:30, 31)
You cannot read this and make an assumption all our troubles come from the Lord, to get us on a righteous path. In our verse the last two words are “in distresses.” This translation of the Greek, “en stenochoria,” to “in distresses” does not give a good understanding of the implications of the Greek. In the Bible the Greek has been translated to English as ‘in distress’ and ‘in anguish.’ Both of these are good translations, but they fall a little short of the meaning of the Greek. The direct meaning of the Greek is a narrow place, and it is used metaphorically for a dire calamity, and extreme affliction. When we see what the Greek was it is not hard to understand Paul was talking about being trapped in trouble where only the Lord can rescue you.
Paul also used the word “necessities.” Understanding what Paul is talking about using this word, requires us to look at how this word is used in the context. The list in our verse is a list of troubles. Being a list of trouble causes us to redefine necessities in this verse. Using this context we see Paul when speaking of necessities is referring to the hardships placed on us by our need (when you are hungry and have no food it is a great hardship). Understanding it in this manner makes this a stronger term than afflictions.
The word “patience” is another word in our verse which causes us to ask what has this got to do with trouble? Again we must go to the Greek to find the answer to our question. The word ‘patience‘ is translated from the Greek word “hupomone.’ The Greek gives us a stronger sense than the word patience. The Greek is more of an endurance, perseverance, and steadfastness. This points to troubles which are not a thing of the moment, but rather troubles of a continual nature.
Today, more than ever before, it seems the earth has gained a new name, trouble. In our verse today Paul is feeling blessed and thankful for the troubles he has had to face. They have given him an opportunity to prove himself worthy to G-d. I have seen many examples of what I call cumulative oppression. This is where individuals have troubles from multiple source: for example family, government, and job troubles all at the same time causing a state of massive oppression in the individual. People like this have done many horrible things, and afterward are unable to tell you why they did it. To take an action of this sort is rolling over into the hands of Satan and serving him in their actions.
Paul saw just this type of troubles and wrote this verse for us to understand what we are to do in times of troubles. We are not to give up, but rather to face them in a Christian manner. Troubles are one of the Devil’s greatest tools. A tool to cause us to do something very sinful. But Paul shows us we are to endure these troubles, and not allow them to overtake us. In the trouble our physical body may be destroyed, but day-by-day our spirit is renewed by our overcoming. We know the little we face here will be offset by the overwhelming eternal glory, and we will be overjoyed with the knowledge we have proven ourselves to G-d.
Dear heavenly Father I am afraid. The troubles of this world are terrible and assail me every day. I thank you for getting me this far. Please stay with me, giving me the strength, courage, and wisdom to overcome my troubles. Lord my earnest desire is to prove myself to you. Please help me for I ask this in Christ’s name. Amen.
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.” 2 Cor. 4:8-11

Lila Rice spent 18 months serving and teaching people in Macedonia, and she continues to serve them from home as she helps translate the Book of Mormon into Macedonian.
BYU student Lila Rice (English, ’22) returned home from missionary service in Macedonia in April 2019. Just a few months later, she got a call inviting her to help translate the Book of Mormon into Macedonian.
In 2012, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sent their first young, proselyting missionaries into Macedonia. As the Church is still very new in the country, they only have one branch in the city of Skopje.
While Rice served in Macedonia, only 8–12 proselytizing missionaries lived there, and they mainly used Serbian or English church materials to teach investigators. But for those who only spoke Macedonian, the missionaries worked together with a local member of the Church to handwrite their own unofficial translations of scripture verses to share with those they were teaching. The Book of Mormon translation project was approved by Church leadership in October 2018, and Rice was asked to join the translation committee shortly after her return from Macedonia.
Rice’s main responsibility in the project is to “read through [the initial translation] and make sure it’s doctrinally accurate, and that the language sounds scriptural instead of like modern lingo.” Rice remarked, “I think it means a lot to [Macedonians] that we’re actually trying to translate it into their language, because oftentimes they feel forgotten. It means a lot that we’re at least trying to connect to them and their language. I think, with time, people will realize that there’s something special about it and hopefully cling to that.”
Translation is all about connecting with other people. As Rice and her committee work on translating, they make sure that “it feels Macedonian and will mean something to Macedonians,” she commented. “It’s more about the ideas and the feelings of the verses, and that’s what you’re translating rather than the exact words.”
In Rice’s words, working on this project has had an invaluable impact on her life. She has learned to rely on God’s help to guide her through the difficult aspects of the imperfect work of translation. But she has also learned more unexpected lessons. Rice stated, “Going in, I figured I’d get a better idea of what the Book of Mormon really means and how it works linguistically. And I have definitely gotten a greater appreciation in all of that, but what has had an even bigger impact on me throughout this process is having to work so closely with other members of the translation team and being able to build relationships and work with them in all areas of their lives in order to complete this one task.”

Bishop of Truro elected as 2016 Royal Cornwall Show President
When it comes to farming and animal husbandry the new president of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association claims little skill.
Despite this it is not an area the Rt Revd Tim Thornton, Bishop of Truro ignores. He embraces the farming industry and ensures he gets out to meet Cornish farmers on their own patch on a regular basis.
“I visit a farm each quarter with Revd Canon Andrew Wade, the diocesan rural link officer, so we can keep abreast of what is happening in agriculture.
“We recently visited a dairy farm and I’m very aware of the pressures many farmers are under.”
Fortunately, in his diocesan rural link officer, the Bishop has an advisor that knows a thing or two about agriculture. Prior to being ordained Canon Wade trained at the Royal Agricultural College and was a dairy farmer.
Tim was ordained more than 30 years ago. He is the 15th Bishop of Truro after being appointed in 2008 following seven years as Bishop of Sherborne. The diocese covers the whole of Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly and two parishes in Devon.
He succeeded the Rt Revd William Ind – or Bishop Bill as he was more commonly known – who also fulfilled the role of president of the Royal Cornwall in 2003.
Fittingly that year saw the introduction of a pre-show service of thanksgiving, held in the main ring the evening before show begins.
This year the pre-show service will be held on Wednesday 8th June at 6.30pm and Bishop Tim will be joined by Rt Rev Mark O’Toole, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Plymouth to lead it. The musical accompaniment will be provided by St Minver Silver Band and Pelynt Male Choir.
Trade stand number one at the show is always home of the Cornwall Churches Together marquee and it will be where the traditional post-service pasty supper and refreshments will be served.
It’s also where many of the county’s religious organisations join forces to promote their work and provide chaplaincy services during the show.
Whilst Bishop Tim claims little agricultural skill, he is achieving a great deal in other areas both in Cornwall and nationally.
Three years ago Tim became a member of the House of Lords and led an all-party inquiry into food poverty.
He is also Chairman of the Children’s Society. A national charity working to help the most deprived children and disadvantaged young people.
On a local level Tim is actively involved in numerous organisations including the Bishop’s Forum, Transformation Cornwall and Volunteer Cornwall.
He is also Patron of the Cornwall branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association, Cornwall Blind Association and, one of the official charities at this year’s Royal Cornwall Show, Cornwall Hospice Care.
“I enjoy working in Cornwall and I’m looking forward to being involved in the show this year,” adds Tim.
The show, which takes place on the 9th, 10th & 11th June, is just five weeks away and the tented town that springs up on the Wadebridge-based showground is already taking shape.

One Flew Over The Onion Dome by Fr Joseph David Huneycutt
Converts to the Orthodox Church are sometimes stunned by the ethnic ghetto they seem to have landed in. Cradle Orthodox are no less amazed by these zealous sometimes apparently nutty converts. And priests seem to often not have a clue as to how to deal with the mixed blessings of newcomers. how on earth can we all understand each other? More importantly what can we learn from each other?

If you were to die today, are you 100% sure you'd go to heaven? Or would you have a doubt?
Many times, people put whether they’re a good person, how many “good deeds” they do, or rely on what church they attend as whether or not they will go to Heaven.
The Bible is clear. Take a few minutes to see, from the Bible, how you can know 100% that you are on your way to Heaven.
He desired letters to be sent to the synagogues in Damascus that would allow him to bring disciples of the Lord bound unto Jerusalem.
A light from Heaven shined round about him and he heard the voice of the Lord.
Yes. He asked, “Who art thou, Lord?” and “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?”
He was without sight for three days and did not eat or drink.
He spoke to Ananias in a vision.
He had heard of the evil Saul had done to the saints at Jerusalem and knew Saul had authority from the chief priests to bind Christians in Damascus.
He said Saul was a chosen vessel unto Him to bear His name before the Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.
He preached Christ and that He is the Son of God.
They were amazed but thought he was trying to trick them to bring them bound to the chief priests. The Jews even took counsel to kill him.
Barnabas took Saul and declared unto them what he had seen.


It is a tradition among Quaker Yearly Meetings to have a sort of constitution. They usually consist of two parts. The first, often in the form of a collection of quotes, describes the uniquely Quaker view of God, man, society, faith. The second portrays the agreements by which the Yearly Meeting conducts business and puts its decsions into actions. This book is called by most Yearly Meetings “Faith and Practice.”
Faith and Practice. Our Quaker tradition has always emphasized the interchange between the two. Our practice is informed by our living faith, the actual experience of being led by the Spirit as we have divined it within our Meetings. That faith is nurtured and developed in its turn by the experience of seeking to live up to it in the world. I say “we” to emphasize the communal basis of this faith and this practice. It is an ancient Quaker discipline to test one’s leadings for clearness among other seasoned Friends, and within the wider Friends fellowship.
The Theology of Liberation as it has grown in Latin America and elsewhere has these same traits, given certain important cultural differences. Practice is informed by faith; faith is informed by practice; theological reflection requires participation in both, and within a community of the faithful. This is called “praxis.” Not an academic exercise, but the give and take of prayer, inspiration, creativity, reflection, repeated within relationships with their brothers and sisters in faith. This circle of activity, from the inner to the outer and back again, is known as praxis.
Theology thus comes out of a living faith — out of the struggle to embody our faith in our choices and actions. This is the only authority for doing theology. Everything else is notional: talk which resembles gossip about theology, not the doing of theology itself.
This undertaking is not easy, and only humility makes possible any measure of success. Simplistic answers, formulaic responses, and self-righteous certainty all display an aggressive, domineering attitude that produces only more oppression. Insistence on the prominence of certain scriptural texts, rather than viewing each in the light of the whole of scripture, for instance, is a sure recipe for the disaster which we see, enacted by our fellow humans every day all over the world. It leads to the failure of love and the imperium of ego. The thrust toward certainty is so appealing, so seductive, so misleading. Faith is not about certainty; at least, not that kind. The certainty of faith lies in knowing that God is with us even when all is dark and confusion reigns. A God whose will is known in every detail is no God at all, but an idol to our own narrow predilections, obsessions, and fears.
Humility tells us,always and everywhere, that it is better to be loved than to be right. Beware of those who tell you it is because they love you that they are telling you what to think or feel, as they put you on the rack.
To find fulfillment, a theology of liberation must address the needs of the middle class as well as the poor. This is not to contradict the “preferential option for the poor” which has been the hallmark of liberation theology since its inception. On the contrary, the middle class must learn to adopt that stance for themselves, within their own lives, in order to have an authentic faith. Not by pretending to be poor, not by a Lady Bountiful approach to charity, but by learning how to stand in solidarity with the poor, the outcast, the despised. the forgotten, the neglected.
The middle class should take joy in their opportunities for health, education, meaningful work, sufficient income, material comfort, relative freedom of choice and of behavior. The poor want these things for themselves, and by right should have them; to discount them would be to discount the reality of the struggles of the poor to achieve them.
From what, then, is the middle class to be liberated? From our complicity in the structures which which maintain oppression and privilege. From the smug self- absorption that supposes that everyone shares our values, preventing us from having real relationships with others. From greed. From our own aggressiveness. From prejudice of all sorts. From anxiety, the fear that no matter how much we have it is never enough. From feeling unloved and alone.
Liberation, though, is not just “freedom from.” It is also “freedom for”: for joy, for contentment, for love, for a sustainable prosperity. And there are the “freedom of’s”, natural to the citizens of a republic: of speech, of assembly, of religion, of the press, of being secure in our person and property. This is by no means an exhaustive list.
To enjoy any of these freedoms, we must work to see them extended to everyone. “An injury to one is an injury to all”, as the IWW preamble puts it.


I’m not saying anything new when I call the internet a toxic environment. For years, there have been reports about how the internet’s anonymity fosters abuse and cyber-bullying. What disturbs me is the current trend of Christians joining in with the aggressive, negative language and insults. I’m not sure why this is happening. Perhaps some are tired of being picked on, so they strike back like in a blog I read recently where the author mentioned being verbally attacked for choosing abstinence. His response was to call those that don’t choose abstinence before marriage names I’d rather not mention here. However, the Bible says to love your enemies (Luke 6:27). Perhaps some feel calling someone an idiot, or worse, is the only way to get a person’s attention. However, the Bible says our words should be good and helpful. (Eph 4:29) Perhaps some join in simply because that is the internet’s environment. However, the Bible says we are not supposed to be like the environment around us (Rom 12:2).
Whatever the reason, the culture of the internet has made us forget that we are supposed to be a light (Matt 5:15). Several months ago, I realized that we Christians are lacking the Fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22,23) when it comes to online interactions. Our posts, shares, and statuses need to pass through the filter of the Holy Spirit before we type them. The following is my prayer whenever I am online.
Lord, please give me
Love when people post unloving things about me
Joy despite the negativity swirling around me
Peace when people mock my beliefs
Patience with others’ opinions
Kindness when I comment on blogs and statuses
Goodness, so that my words build up instead of tear down
Faithfulness regardless of popular consensus
Gentleness when replying to opposing viewpoints
and, most of all,
Self-control before I hit send.


In the Lawrenceville neighborhood of downtown Pittsburgh, you’ll find a curious sight. Along busy Liberty Avenue is a church that draws hundreds of visitors every day. Wearing mostly casual clothes, they stream in and out of the church at all hours of the day and night. However, this church really isn’t a church, at least not anymore.
Built in 1902 as St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church, the building was used as a place of worship for 91 years. After lying dormant for three years, it was given new life in one of the most unusual ways possible: as a brewery. The aptly named Church Brew Works has been open ever since.
When you first walk up to Church Brew Works, you might be surprised how much it still looks like a church. In fact, if you were to remove the brewery signs from the front of the church and change the marquis to a more Biblical message, you likely wouldn’t even know that it was no longer a church.
Passing through the doors and foyer, you enter the former sanctuary of the church. Now home to the brewery’s restaurant and bar, it’s certainly an awe-inspiring sight.
Above the altar, where a preacher once likely spoke about the sins of alcohol, sits several large brewing kettles, each large enough to ensure a party of Biblical proportions. Had many of the teetotalling parishioners 100 years ago known what would become of their church, it’s likely that many unholy words would have passed through their lips.
Gazing around the building, the brewery is an odd mix of liturgical remnants and modern brewing equipment. High above the heads of diners, the stained glass windows of the church remain in place casting a subtle hue below. The church’s pews have been repurposed as seating at the many tables and, interestingly enough, as the top of the brewery’s bar.
However, the appeal of Church Brew Works isn’t just from its building. In fact, the beer and the food is some of the best I’ve had in Pennsylvania. Not that I should have been surprised, as Church Brew Works won the 2012 Brew Pub of the Year Award at he Great American Beer Festival, one of the highest awards a small brewery can receive.
Anxious to try their brews, I ordered a sampler of eight of their top brews. Utilizing religious sounding names like Celestial Gold, Pious Pale Ale, and Pious Monk Dunkel, the brewery brings their religious heritage into the beer. When the sampler came out, I was quite surprised at its size. It definitely was big enough to split with another person. However, the quality of the beer made me quite happy that I was dining alone.
The beers reminded me a bit of the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Sampling beer after beer, I kept thinking to myself, “It’s not too hoppy. It’s not too sweet. It’s just right.” This lack of super strong flavors meant that many of the beers would be pleasing to almost any beer drinker’s palate.
For food, I opted to try their perogies and beer cheese soup. Both were quite good, and I would definitely recommend trying them when visiting.
Church Brew Works also offers a line of homemade sodas, which is great for those who choose not to drink or who are too young. When I visited, they had birch beer and pistachio soda. Despite being intrigued by the pistachio, I couldn’t resist a homemade birch beer. I certainly wasn’t disappointed by the birch beer, as it tasted excellent.
Thinking back on my visit to Church Brew Works, it’s definitely somewhere I’d go back to. The quality of the beer, food, and soda was top notch, and the novelty of the location is quite amazing.


Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty firmament! Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness! Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;Praise Him with the lute and harp! Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes! Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord!
