An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem
science has with God, The Almighty.

He asks one of his new Christian students to stand and.....

Professor: You are a Christian, aren't you, son?

Student : Yes, sir.

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?

Student : Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student : Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't.
How is this God good then? Hmm?

(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?

Student :Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?

Student : No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student : From...God...

Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?

(Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness?
All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?

Student :Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?

(Student has no answer.)

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the
world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student : No , sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God?
Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says
your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.

Student : No sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat,
white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold.
We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go
any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we
use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold.
Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something.
You can have low light, normal light , bright light, flashing
light....But if you
have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it?
In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness
darker, wouldn't you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality.
You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God.
You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we
can measure.
Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism,
but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death a s
the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a
substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a
monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes,
of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shakes his h ead with a smile, beginning to realize where the
argument is going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at
work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour,
are you not
teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class is in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?

(The class breaks out int o laughter.)

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's
brain, felt it, touched or smelt it?.....No one appears to have done
so.
So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable
protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face
unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir.. The link between man & God is FAITH.
That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

NB:
I believe you have enjoyed the conversation...and if so...you'll
probably want your friends/colleagues to enjoy the same...won't
you?...forward them to increase their knowledge...

Have a nice day..

He taught them a lesson. "Consider the fig tree and all the other trees.
When their buds burst open, you see for yourselves and know that summer is now near;
in the same way, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

1 Timothy 4:7-8 said: “Train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”

Training oneself to be godly and training to have a toned body has one thing in common; you are doing it on a regular basis to achieve your goal. To be godly, you need to have regular spiritual disciplines like prayer, fasting, retreats, Sabbath, reading the bible etc. these things when done in a regular basis it’ll make you spiritually healthy just like in your body, if you won’t exercise, train or workout on a daily basis you will going to have unhealthy body that will lead you to being obese and when that time happened you will think of visiting California to have liposuction Beverly Hills.

The Bible declares: "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).

Giving you abundant life required the supreme sacrifice: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).

God desires fellowship and companionship with you. What a wonderful gift the Father has given, yet if God gave His own Son to provide an abundant and everlasting life, why don’t more people have what He has designed for us to receive? It is a question answered by this sobering realization.

God loves His people so much, that he gave His only begotten son Jesus Christ to save us from our sins. You see, giving your one and only son is a very hard thing to do, especially if you are a parent.

I just wanted to go back on these passages, because a male friend of mine cut his hair after reading 1 Corinthians 11:2-16. I can track those times that he took care for his hair for how many months just to make it to his desired length. But all of a sudden his obsession of having a nice long hair stops with this passages.

1 Corinthians 11:2-16

² I am so glad, dear friends, that you always keep me in your thoughts and you are following the Christian teaching I passed on to you. ³ But there is one thing I want you to know: A man is responsible to Christ, a woman is responsible to her husband, and Christ is responsible to God. ⁴A man dishonors Christ if he covers his head while praying or prophesying. ⁵But a woman dishonors her husband if she prays or prophesies without a covering on her head, for this is the same as shaving her head. ⁶Yes, if she refuses to wear a head covering, she should cut off all her hair. And since it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or her head shaved, then she should wear a covering. ⁷A man should not wear anything on his head when worshiping, for man is God’s glory, made in God’s own image, but woman is the glory of man. ⁸For the first man didn’t come from woman, but the first woman came from man. ⁹ And man was not made for woman’s benefit, but woman was made for man. ¹⁰ So a woman should wear a covering on her head as a sign of authority because the angels are watching.

¹¹But in relationships among the Lord’s people, women are not independent of men, and men are not independent of women. ¹²For although the first woman came from man, all men have been born from women ever since, and everything comes from God.

¹³What do you think about this? Is it right for a woman to pray to God in public without covering her head? ¹⁴ Isn’t it obvious that it's disgraceful for a man to have long hair? ¹⁵And isn’t it obvious that long hair is a woman's pride and joy? For it has been given to her as a covering. ¹⁶But if anyone wants to argue about this, all I can say is that we have no other custom than this, and all the churches of God feel the same way about it.

The young men of PWF have just initiated their first Gent's Night last Tuesday, October 3, 2006 at the residence of Ptr. Sigrid. Gent's Night is a gathering of young men who have been instilled with a burden to become God's frontline warriors who will intercede for our Pastor, our ministry, our family, our friends, our country, our community and our fellow believers.

Their objective is to be sensitive with God's dealings and the Holy Spirit's moving and at the same time be sensitive with the enemy's workings and his plans against God's children, by living a life of fasting and prayer. We want to serve as the frontline force in the Spiritual Warfare against the forces of hell.

As Paul said in Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

During the meeting they discussed about one of Satan’s top ranking demon who is at work right now to destroy ministries and churches that are having the mighty move of the Holy Spirit. This demon is Leviathan (Psalm 74:14; Isaiah 27:1), a reptile-like creature who grabs ministries and churches with its jaws to try to force them into giving-up and eventually destroy them. As warriors for Christ we need to know our enemy in order for us to be effective in discerning his plans and strategies against us and how to effectively fight him.

Unfortunately, I miss this gathering; I admit that I need things like this to make my faith stronger since I am so weak. I was a PWF member before but because of being so weak, I refuse to attend on prayer meetings and worst came where I never attend the Sunday service. Anyway, being Christian is not measured by what group you are in or what church you belong to, it is your heart’s passion to serve the Lord that is most important. As long as your faith is there for the Lord and you are welling to restore your faith in Him. But it is not like having a New Jersey hair restoration where you just pay the doctor and that’s it, it must be coming from your heart.

36 Christian Ways to Reduce Stress

"Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happens tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice."

1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety. If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19. Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you Jesus."
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33. Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU. "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31)

There you have the entire list, which surely keeps you away from having a stressful face that might needs a Toronto cosmetic surgeons visit.


I got this Article from potterswheelfellowship.org, and I thought this would be my source for my blogging posts. Congratulations to the Potter's Wheel Fellowship you made it online. Even though I didn’t show up anymore at the organization’s church during Sundays at least I can still visit them through their website and somehow can communicate with the other members.

Potter’s Wheel Fellowship is committed to the cause and I was truly inspired by the teachings of the organization, to Pastor Sigrid Tadlas, you let me feel Jesus Christ in my heart and to the members too, I never felt yet to other organizations the feeling of belongingness but only to this Fellowship group. I may not be that committed to the group but I know this group will always be committed to Jesus Christ.

From my previous article it says that getting a tattoo is a sin, from the book of Leviticus it say: Verse 28: "Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord." So by having a surgery procedure of any type will be a sin too? I don’t think so, because, it is only one of necessities people have to do nowadays.

Leviticus 19 says:
Verse 9: "When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest." Verse 19: "Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed.
Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material." Verse 26: "Do not eat any meat with the blood still in it." Verse 27: "Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard." Verse 28: "Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord."

Getting a tattoo has become a very accepted thing to do; Christian teenagers would like to try it too, though they are hesitant to do it because of the words from the scriptures, but I don’t think it is sinful to have a tattoo for just an art, it may became sinful if you do it to mean something devilish but for just a piece of art in your body I think that’s a different story. Why not visit and look at the tattoo pictures at rankmytattoos.com, there are different designs you can choose from.

THE INTERVIEW WITH GOD

I dreamed I had an interview with God.

"So you would like to interview me?" God asked.

"If you have the time" I said.

God smiled. "My time is eternity."
"What questions do you have in mind for me?"

"What surprises you most about humankind?"

God answered...
"That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
long to be children again."

"That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health."

"That by thinking anxiously about the future,
they forget the present,
such that they live in neither
the present nor the future."
"That they live as if they will never die,
and die as though they had never lived."

God’s hand took mine
and we were silent for a while.

And then I asked...
"As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons
you want your children to learn?"

"To learn they cannot make anyone
love them. All they can do
is let themselves be loved.

"To learn that it is not good
to compare themselves to others."

"To learn to forgive
by practicing forgiveness."

"To learn that it only takes a few seconds
to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them."

"To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least."

"To learn that there are people
who love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned
how to express or show their feelings."

"To learn that two people can
look at the same thing
and see it differently."

"To learn that it is not enough that they
forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves."

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.

"Is there anything else
you would like your children to know?"

God smiled and said,
"Just know that I am here... always."

Below are some content can be found at the Lost Gospel of Judas, the following are taken from the National Geographic.com

The Gospel of Judas is part of a codex. Codices were ancient books constructed of folding pages bound at one side. They supplanted scrolls because they held more information, and because readers could easily find specific passages. The codex also contains a text called James, the Letter of Peter to Phillip, and a fragmentary document dubbed the Book of Allogenes. The 1,700-year-old codex was badly fragmented, but an expert team of preservationists and scholars has rescued a nearly complete Gospel of Judas – a text once thought to be lost forever. The Gospel provides an alternative view of the Jesus-Judas relationship and evidences the diverse theological beliefs that circulated among early Christians.

Codex page 33:
The secret account of the revelation
that Jesus spoke in conversation with Judas
Iscariot during a
Week, three
Days before he celebrated Passover.

Codex page 35:
Step away from the
others and I shall tell you the mesteries
of the kingdom. It is possible
for you to reach it, but you
will grieve a great deal.

Codex page 44:
In the vision I saw myself
As the 12 disciples were stoning
Me and persecuting [me severely].

Codex page 46:

… you will
Be cursed by the other
Generations – and you
will come to
rule over them.

Codex page 56:
… you
Will exceed all of them.
For you will sacrifice

The man that clothes me.

Codex page 57:
Look, you have been told everything.
Lift up your eyes and look
At the cloud and the light within
It and the stars surrounding it.
The stars that leads the way
Is your star.
Judas lifted his eyes
And saw the luminous cloud,
And he entered it …

Codex page 58:
[… and] their high priests
Murmured because [he]
Had gone into the guest room
For his prayer. But some
Scribes were there
Watching carefully in order to
arrest him during
the prayer, for they were afraid
of the people, since he was
regarded by all as a prophet.
They approached
Judas and said to him,
“what are you doing here? You are
Jesus’ disciple.”
Judas answered them
As they wished and he received some money
And handed him over to them.

The Gospel of Judas

By Fr. Jerry Orbos

It is Holy Week. This week is the most important
week for us Christians. In fact, it is more
important than Christmas because if Christ did not
suffer, die and rise again (Paschal Mystery) there
would have been no salvation. The events of this
week, starting with Palm Sunday, the Last Supper,
the Way of the Cross, the Crucifixion and Death, the Easter Vigil, and Easter itself have only one clear message: You and I are so much loved personally by God that He gave His only Son to die on the Cross.
Think about it: Is there anyone, anyone at all in
your life, who is willing to die for you? (Maybe
your husband is with you right now. Ask him, if he
is willing to die for you!)

As the events of the Holy Week unfold, let us not
just be by standers or onlookers. Let us be a part
of it all. Walk, don't ride. How high you fly at
Easter depends on how you walked the Holy Week.
Sorry, there are no short cuts, no free rides in the
business of saving one's soul. Here are some
suggestions to make Holy Week holy. They are all
doable, all valuable.

RELAX: Many of us are overworked and
overstressed. We need to rest our bodies and our
minds so that we can "fine tune" with ourselves,
with other people and with God. Take a break. Take a walk. Commune with nature. See the sunset. Enjoy the moon. Close your cellular phone and your beeper and just allow yourself to be open to the divine. Let go. Let things be. God is in charge. Experience the restoring power of sleep and rest. Smile at the sky.
Walk the earth. Whistle a happy tune, or hum a
favorite melody. Just thank God you are still alive.

REFLECT: Find time to relax so you can reflect.
Don't end up just relaxing. Don't end up tired and
empty because you were too busy to relax and thus
found no time to slow down and reflect. How long has it been now since you have been in this world? What have you done? You have work, but do you have a life? What is really important for you? What do you still want to do or accomplish? How is your family and your relationships? And how are you relating with your God? Is there an area in your life that needs to be healed? Is there excess luggage in your heart? How would you like to be remembered after you are gone? Questions. Allow yourself to be questioned by life itself.

REPENT: We all fall. We all have mistakes and
weaknesses. Accept your limitations. Welcome to
humanity! Be humble. Visit the "red light" district
in the church and make a good confession. Make that general confession. Find time to say sorry to people you may have hurt or just taken for granted. Make time to visit, to write, to call, to text anyone you need to say sorry to. Is there one bad habit you need to give up? Is there one good habit you need to take up? This is the time for soul-searching.
Promise yourself not to go back to the pit of
selfishness and sin. If today you hear His voice,
harden not your heart.

RENEW: Take time to recharge and just be filled
up. Renew your contact with God. Don't just sit in
the comforts of your home and watch the services of the Holy Week. Make the sacrifice of participating in church. Show your gratitude to the Lord. Make that Bisita Iglesia, that Via Crucis, that Easter Vigil and do it all with gratitude and love. Renew ties with your immediate family. Make yourself available and vulnerable to them. Tell them in so many ways that you really care.The world is not just you and your family. Reach out. Give and share. The time to give is always now and it is never too late,never too much. Make a generous donation. Go and visit a hospital, an orphanage, an old folks' home or a sick person. It would be more wonderful if you can do all these with your family. Renew your contact with yourself. Go over old pictures, old letters and files and remember who you were and what you wanted to be. Clean your room and clean your heart of all the could-have-beens and should-have-beens and accept yourself. Embrace yourself for what you are and what you still can be.

RESIGN: That's right, resign. Resign from places
and people who do not bring the best in you. Resign
from vices and sins that are slowly but surely
eating you up. Resign from falsehood and pretenses. Be true. Have substance. No more japorms. No more papogi. Just give your very best and God will take care of the rest. Resign to God's will and God's plan for you and you will have peace-that peace of Easter, that peace, which the world cannot give or take away. Good luck, and all the best as you walk the Holy Week. The road that leads to true life is never easy, but the assurance is there: It is a road that leads to life, and He himself is on the road with you, every step along the way.

A Moment with the Lord >
Lord, help me walk another mile, and help me smile
another smile. Just one more smile as I walk the
Holy Week with You. Amen.

1 Corinthians 13:4-13

⁴Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud ⁵or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. ⁶It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. ⁷Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

⁸Love will last forever, but prophecy and speaking in unknown languages^ and special knowledge will all disappear. ⁹Now we know only a little, and even the gift of prophecy reveals little! ¹⁰ _ But when the end comes, these special gifts will all disappear.

¹¹It’s like this: When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child does. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. ¹² _ Now we see things imperfectly as in a poor mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.^ All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me now.

¹³ _ There are three things that will endure—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

The gifts that come from love are many. Here are a few: (1) forgiveness, (2) patience, (3) kindness, (4) love for truth, (5) love for justice, (6) love for the best in a person, (7) loyalty at any cost, (8) belief in a person no matter what. Love does not allow for (1) jealousy, (2) envy, (3) pride, (4) a haughty spirit, (5) selfishness, (6) rudeness, (7) a demand for one’s own way, (8) irritability, (9) grudges.

I received this message from a friend of mine thru email, I am not saying this is a chain message; I just want to share this to everybody because my body shivered while reading this…

It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):
" Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Here are some men and women who mocked God:

JOHN LENNON:
Some years before during his interview with an American Magazine, he said: "Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not
have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" (1966)". Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

TANCREDO NEVES:
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.

CAZUZA:
During a show in Canecão ( Rio de Janeiro ), whilst smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: God, that's for you.

I can't even explain how he died.

THE MAN WHO BUILT TITANIC:
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it"

The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic.


MARILYN MONROE:

CAMPINAS/SP IN 2005
In Campinas, a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend. The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter - holding her
hand, who was already seated in the car: "MY DAUGHTER, GO WITH GOD AND MAY HE PROTECT YOU", She responded: ONLY IF HE (GOD) TRAVELS IN THE BOOT, COZ INSIDE HERE IT'S ALREADY FULL"

Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the boot was intact.

The police said there was no way the boot could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the boot was a crate of eggs, none was broken.

Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive. JESUS!!!



P.S: If it was a joke, you could have sent it to everyone. So are you going to have courage to send this?. I have done my part, Jesus said "If you get embarrassed about me, I will also get embarrassed about you before my father

What benefit does it have, if a man gains the whole world but loses his soul?

What can man give in exchange of his soul? (Mathew 16:26).
