HOW TO GET A PHD IN GOD’S WILL with GEORGE LEWIS
[LESS INFO] 3 VIEWS | ADDED 13:37:56 11/01/11
HOW TO GET A PHD IN GOD’S WILL (YOU CAN READ THIS OR, WATCH THE VIDEO) http://georgeflewis.com I was recently asked the question: "How did you get to where you are today after living in your car for several months." The simple answer is by following God's will. (Higher Power's will, Sources' will, Universe's will, the Force's will. Call this Higher Power what you will. I use the word God because the term feels right to me. However, my definition of that word may be vastly different from yours. I guess that I failed to tell you that in the years prior to living in my car that I had come from owning nothing to owning the largest residential real estate firm in my County. What I was worth then would equal hundreds of millions of dollars today. I had learned how to get material things. I owned many cars, homes, airplanes, motor homes, motorcycles, boats, and much real estate. An economy much like todays and some poor decision making took it all in an instant. My name was on my real estate corporation. It was in this, and in all the stuff I owned, that I found my identity. When my little empire crashed, I crashed. I believed this to be the worst thing that could possibly happen to me. I had to rebuild myself from the ground up. The months in my car started me on my way to a PHD in God’s will. First, many of the things that have happened to me that seemed terrible at the time, turned out to be the best things. From that, I deduce that on some level I really don’t know what is good for my spirit. On a subconscious level, I now know that I did not want God’s will because I thought that it might not line up with my desire for all the things I wanted. Consequently, my visualizations limited me, as they weren’t necessarily what were best for me. Now, when I see in retrospect, those things, and situations that I believe to be God’s will for me, I see that they are best for me. Additionally, my will has provided me with many ‘bloody noses.’ I don’t want any more. When I ask myself, which would I rather follow, my spirit or, my ego, the choice is very clear. I choose to follow my spirit. It is in this that I find peace of mind. I never found peace of mind in any new car, boat, airplane, or material item. What I did find was that the smell of new leather was gone within a couple of months. I did not know that peace of mind was the true prize. Without knowing it peace of mind is what I thought all of the stuff I was striving to get would bring me. With this in mind, I needed to develop a new viewpoint and a new way of conducting my life. Getting things and all that falls within that category doesn’t mean much so, learning how to get them doesn’t mean much either. What I needed to learn was how to recognize and follow God’s will. That poses a much larger difficulty than figuring out how to get ‘stuff.’ I spent quite a while thinking that God’s will would come to me looking much like a completed vision board. That has never happened. What I find is that God’s will is always right in front of my nose. It presents itself as the next best thing for me to do. My ego sees this as far too simple and wants the complete treasure map. However, what I have to do is surrender and be willing to be totally led by the next good thing that presents its self. I must be willing to see it, and to do it to the best of my ability. I now understand that God is not the ecclesiastic bellhop that my prayer for stuff was inadvertently trying to make God out to be. If you have ever completed a draw by the numbers picture, you will understand this. At first, all I see is a bunch of unconnected numbers that don’t really make sense. Then, as I draw the connecting lines from one to two and to three etc., I soon see the picture that is emerging and I have that ‘aha’ moment. Seeing God’s will requires that I listen carefully to what I hear, pay close attention to what I see, and most importantly, to what I feel and to what I intuit. I can do none of these well when I am in fear or its nasty little offspring anger, when my thinking takes me into the future or the past. I must work at being fully present to every moment. I must be internally quiet. To exercise the fullness of what my intuition has for me, I must put what my head and my heart tells me in second and third place to what my ‘gut’ tells me. When I use the term ‘gut,’ I’m speaking of that small area in my solar plexus that informs me of what is right and what is wrong through feelings rather than with words or thoughts. I have to pass thinking and my actions through this guidance test. It is my primary spiritual compass. In addition, my intuition will speak to me as an afterthought. Here is an example of what I mean by afterthought. It is a sunny day and there is absolutely no rain in sight. From somewhere comes the idea that I should take my umbrella. I opt to believe my logical brain and leave without my umbrella. When I return home, I have been soaked by a rain that didn’t seem possible. When I pray for what I think I want and need, I tag the prayer with these words; “if it is your will, and that I might better serve others”. Even with this, I have to be aware of my motives. I always have at least two motives for everything I do. One is my altruistic motive. It is the motive I want to believe about me and, more importantly, I want you to believe about me. The second is my self-centered self-serving motive. I must know which of these I want to be the deciding factor. I must also know that what I need to pray more for power than for specifics. Let me explain. If I am sitting in my closet and I am starving, praying for God to feed me probably won’t work. It is doubtful that a hot dog or a steak dinner is going to suddenly pop through the keyhole. What I must pray for is the power to feed myself. Following these ideas is exactly how I got from my car to where I am today, the details of which could easily fill a book. Thanks for taking the time to watch this short video. I hope you find my experience helpful. Do come back and in the meantime, don't forget to accentuate the positive and have a fantastic day.

We believe there is an uncommon passion at the heart of what God is doing, and we see it here at The Crossing. In fact, you have joined us on a special weekend as several families will publicly affirm that they have the passion and desire to share the love of Christ with their kiddos as they participate in Child Dedication. This weekend our Lead Pastor Greg Holder will share with us where this uncommon passion comes from and where it’s leading us. We hope as you listen to the message that you get a few questions answered.

Hitler Glenn Beck And The Church Part 5 American Christianity
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 21:17:21 09/10/10
For more information click the link below: http://roarnomore.blogspot.com/2010/09/church-hitler-and-glenn-beck.html American Christianity You may be wondering, what all this has to do with Glenn Beck and the Restoring Honor rally? The answer is, "everything." Listen to the words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Cheap grace is the deadly enemy of our Church. We are fighting today for costly grace. Cheap grace means grace sold on the market like cheapjack wares. The sacraments, the forgiveness of sin, and the consolations of religion are thrown away at cut prices. . . . In such a Church the world finds a cheap covering for its sins; no contrition is required, still less any real desire to be delivered from sin. . . . Cheap grace means the justification of sin without the justification of the sinner . . . it is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate. No let me ask you, "What kind of grace is Glenn Beck selling?" Don't get me wrong, I agree with much of what Glenn Beck says about politics, and I'm not in anyway saying he's Hitler. Nevertheless, he is both offering and revealing something damning that has already taken place in our churches. Russell D. Moore ties everything together with this statement from His syndicated blog. Too often, and for too long, American “Christianity” has been a political agenda in search of a gospel useful enough to accommodate it. There is a liberation theology of the Left, and there is also a liberation theology of the Right, and both are at heart mammon worship. The liberation theology of the Left often wants a Barabbas, to fight off the oppressors as though our ultimate problem were the reign of Rome and not the reign of death. The liberation theology of the Right wants a golden calf, to represent religion and to remind us of all the economic security we had in Egypt. Both want a Caesar or a Pharaoh, not a Messiah. Moore goes on to say, Any “revival” that is possible without the Lord Jesus Christ is a “revival” of a different kind of spirit than the Spirit of Christ (1 John 4:1-3). . . The answer isn’t a narrowing sectarianism, retreating further and further into our enclaves. The answer includes local churches that preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and disciple their congregations to know the difference between the Kingdom of God and the latest political whim. I second one of Moore's opening lines. "It’s taken us a long time to get here, in this plummet from Francis Schaeffer to Glenn Beck." Francis Schaeffer repudiated the pietistic compartmentalized version of Christianity that plagued the church of the Nazis and plagues ours today. The church must be involved in the political process as salt and light, but it must not compromise the fact that it is the church. In America we have both extremes. We have the hundreds of evangelical leaders- including the entire upper echelon at Liberty University- who have decided to look for revival from an ecumenical Mormon, and then we have the churches that stay completely out of the political process. One side says, "We're willing to compromise in order to be salt," in which case they loose their saltiness, and the other affirms, "We're not willing to compromise anything, you can't have your salt." Either way the salt is never truly injected into the culture. We have bought into cheap grace in America. Doctrine doesn't matter anymore. What matters is a "personal relationship," which saves me from hell, society be damned! What we need is a yellow Gadsden Flag (i.e. the "Don't Tread on Me" flag) which instead of a snake in the background, pictures the Holy Scriptures. If we compromise on the Gospel for the sake of politics, how are we any different than the "German Christians?" We're simply "American Christians," and in that order. We have bought into a right wing type of fascism where the military and our exceptionalism come before the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I fear we will follow in the footsteps of Germany, only time will tell. All it takes is a "conservative" to rally the churches into a frenzy over something of temporal importance. Christ said it best in Matthew 6:20-21. "but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Where's the heart of American Christianity. Is it with the Gospel or Glenn Beck? Does it resemble Germany 1933 or Rome 35 A.D.? More importantly, where's your heart?

"The Deceived And The Deceiver" By Pastor Nelson Turner Of Av1611 Reformation Com
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 05:23:50 08/11/09
Pastor Nelson Turner of AV1611Reformation.com preached this sermon on the Lord's Day August 9, 2009. Using the inspired word of God in the English language, the King James Bible (Authorized Version 1611/1769 Cambridge Edition), Pastor Turner reviews the many ways in which both saved and unsaved people can be deceived and deceive themselves regarding their true natures and their state relative to God and salvation. The self-deception of sin without consequences is the greatest sin of which we are guilty today. This along with multiple other deceptions found naturally in man are explored in conjunction with biblical citations throughout the sermon. Pastor Turner invites the listener who purports to be saved to consider their profession of faith in view of the deceptions to which flesh is prone: pride; trying to make evil good; pursuit of wordly riches; deceptions of the heart; vanity of physical beauty; the corruptions wrought by alcohol and substance abuse; and the seeking of reward and recognition (among others). The Parable of the Sower and its lessons are particularly relevant to this subject. Verses cited from the AV1611 King James Bible include: Job 12:16/ Mark 13:5-6, 22/ Romans 16:17-18/ Matthew 24:24/ 1 Corinthians 3:16-19/ 1 John 1:8/ Ephesians 4:14, 22-24/ Leviticus 6:2-5/ Deuteronomy 11:16-17/ Obadiah 1:3/ Hebrews 3:12-14/ Matthew 13:18-22/ Mark 4:18/ Jeremiah 17:9/ Hebrews 6:4-8/ Genesis 3:17-18/ James 1:22-26/ Proverbs 14:25; 27:6; 31:30; 20:1/ 2 Corinthians 11:13/ 2 Peter 2:13/ Jeremiah 48:10/ Ezechial 14:7-9/ 2 Timothy 3:12-15

Hypocrisy A Sermon By Pastor Nelson Turner Of Av1611 Reformation Com
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 16:12:21 05/18/09
A sermon preached by Pastor Nelson Turner on May 17, 2009 reviewing the subject of hypocrisy as it appears throughout the inspired word of God, the AV1611 King James Bible. Following upon the Pastor's prior sermon "The Head and The Heart" http://blip.tv/file/2066742 this sermon shows the problems of "saying one thing and doing another; the problem with dissembling; the problem with feigning piety with an outward show while inwardly clinging to sin. Pastor Turner shows from the verses of the King James Bible that those who live in hypocrisy should fear for the fate of their souls. The examples and instructions concerning hypocrisy in the Bible are given shocking demonstration in supplementary readings that Pastor Turner makes from the book "Dark Days of the Papacy" and quotes from Francis Amicus and Jesuit authors revealing the wicked, equivocating doctrines of all those polluted since the 1500's by the casuistry of Jesuitical practices. Verses from the AV1611 King James Bible 1769 Cambridge Edition used for the edification of listeners in this sermon include: Isaiah33:13-22,24/ 1Peter2:1/ Isaiah32:6/ Matthew23:28/ Mark12:15/ Luke 12:1/ 1Timothy4:1-2/ James3:17/ Job13:16; 20:4-5; 27:8; 15:4; 36:13/ Isaiah9:17/ Matthew7:4-5; 6:3-6; 6:16. DVD copies of thios sermon are available by writing to Pastor Turner at "Contact" at AV1611Reformation.com Other sermons and audio downloads are also available from the website or at sites.google.com/site/Av1611Reformation.

Calorie-free Stress Relief
[LESS INFO] 5 VIEWS | ADDED 07:07:00 03/24/06
Deadlines loom large and fast at the office. All through the cacophonous day, anxious feet pound the carpeted floor, mobiles and office phones screech for attention, people literally shriek down the lines at lawyers, accountants, auditors, consultants and other professed professionals and the air smells of overworked photocopiers, stale coffee, white-collared sweat and stomachs that haven't seen substantial hot food since the packed dinner last night.
Fortunately, neither file-throwing nor backstabbing is the preferred method of stress relief in these parts. My colleagues prefer to internalise it with snacks.
They started off slow with polite Aussie-made Tim Tam nibbles, culled from a field trip to Candy Empire at Millenia Walk (Millenia Walk, 9 Raffles Boulevard, #01-95 to 98, Singapore 039596; tel: 6336 2968, to be precise, for Cupboard Space who is probably hyperventilating and who should come out of the closet).
They even took some time out from threatening not to pay professed professionals for their suspiciously shoddy work to Tim Tam Slam (also variously called the "Tim Tam Suck", "Tim Tam Explosion", " Tim Tam Orgasm " and "shotgunning a Tim Tam", basically describing the biting off of opposing corners of a Tim Tam, using it as one would a straw to suck up a hot beverage and then, popping it into the mouth before the biscuit disintegrates. Natalie Imbruglia demonstrates it on Graham Norton 's eponymous " So Graham Norton ".) with hot cups of Aussie-manufactured Milo .
Later on, they moved on to Cheezels, Jaffa Cakes , Wagon Wheels and Penguins.
And still later, faced with the implications of the law of diminishing returns, they contributed generously to this keropok uncle's retirement fund:
God, of course, gave us a vastly cheaper, healthier, calorie-free way of dealing with stress:
> do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. ( Philippians 4 :6-7) But this sort of thing only works if we believe there is a God who:
* has the ability and is willing to listen us and to whom we can communicate;
* has the ability and is willing to calm our worries and fears; and
* most importantly, because it is just plain silly to be psyched into thinking happy thoughts about a situation that should in reality be worrisome, has the ability and is willing to act in the world to control it and because he loves us as his own children, order it for our good (good not meaning our preferred outcome but our eternal salvation and godliness).
