The Manhattan Declaration - To Every Thing there is a Season By : Rev Michael Bresciani News shows across America showed clips of American Idol star Adam Lambert’s overt sexual behavior at the recent American Music Awards. Almost all the clips were preceded with advisories and warnings. When discussed it was a single comment made on the Fox News outlet that beat all. Fawcett, McMahon, Jackson, and Cronkite: Did they ask the Question? By : Rev Michael Bresciani Estimates are that about 9,500 people die per day in America. That means thousands of special services are carried on daily to honor the departed and ponder our own mortality. When celebrities or iconic figures die we are moved on a national scale to weigh our own brief stay on the planet. The Trinity of God and its Relationship to the Church By : Rev. Robert Vergeson D.D. Let it be said that the Trinity of God as spoken of in the bible is that of the heavenly Father. The Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. They are separate while the same person. They were in the beginging. The Alpha and Omega, and shall be present in the end of times. The Tinity of God is a creation of God, while the church, brick and mortar is the creation of man. The Trinity lives in each and every Christian, the true Church and not in the brick and mortar that man built. God made us. God Can Use You program starts in May 2008 - A Nuts and Bolts Program for Christians who want to serve By : Rev Michael Bresciani Dr. Pete Sulack, a chiropractic doctor, out of Knoxville Tennessee will begin airing a new kind of Christian program starting May 1, 2008. The programs purpose will be to show anyone and everyone how to help others and serve God regardless of age, education, background, training or anything else. Voting the Race Color and Creed Ticket By : Rev Michael Bresciani How many people really vote for the person they think is the best all around and most qualified candidate for President of these United States apart from race, color or creed? It might surprise you to learn how few there are. Gossip Kills the Holy Spirit in us. By : Rev. Robert Vergeson D.D. Gossip is the Devil's tool, to which he uses to drive a wedge between our relationship with God. Those who are idle in life, become gossipers having nothing better to do. Therefore, God has made it very clear regarding His position on gossip and how it becomes a very harmful life style. Scripture, Gods Holy Word doesn't pull punches when it comes to his anger and instructions regarding gossip and those who gossip. Beware! Will Churches Be Prepared If Pandemic Strikes America? By : Donald L. Hughes Local churches can exercise leadership by preparing for a possible Bird Flu plague, and to alleviate suffering if it comes. Sadly, most churches will wait too long to act, and once it has been announced that the Bird Flu has reached our shores, panic will ensue and the opportunity for preparation will be lost. The Falwellian View of an Orwellian World By : Rev Michael Bresciani As if to qualify his life and message those who loved and those who doubted Rev. Jerry Falwell often remind us that when it seemed he was extreme at least he apologized. The extreme times that the scripture says are just ahead will accept no apology and will vindicate a thousand Rev. Falwells. Rick Warren's Whole Bird - Why This Bird Can't Fly By : Rev Michael Bresciani When Faith and Family’s Dr. Richard Land was my pastor over thirty years ago he once described his calling to preach the gospel. He said that the call to preach the gospel was a higher calling than becoming the President of the United States. After more than three decades I'm sure he was right. Save the Environment - Trash the Soul By : Rev Michael Bresciani From the Barna Report comes another tidbit of information that strains the credulity and furthers the notion that Americans are all too comfortable living with absurdities Good Church Member but a Poor Disciple - Trends Toward the End By : Rev Michael Bresciani In any discourse involving the word “end” Christians jump to the conclusion that the illusion is to the second coming of Christ and the end of the world as we know it. Other things have to end before the end can begin and this isn’t meant to be a tongue twister. Reprobation - Proof that God's Judgment is Near By : Rev Michael Bresciani All people Christian or not are becoming aware of the changing patterns of weather and an increase in tsunamis, volcanic activity, hurricanes and natural disasters. World unrest and terrorism and the threat of world war are also on every mind. Many are asking if these are the signs of Christ’s retur Prosperity or Poverty - What Does the Bible Really Say By : Rev Michael Bresciani Does God really want all believers to be rich or is it his plan to keep them poor? The controversy rages while the most important element of all is completely overlooked. What is that element? The 2006 Elections - What does it mean to the Christian By : Rev Michael Bresciani The winning of the majority of seats in both houses by democrats might seem insignificant to believers but it is part and parcel of a greater trend throughout the world. It is not a cause for panic but it must be carefully analyzed in the light of biblical prophecy and sound biblical doctrine. Thanksgiving - What Were the Pilgrims Thankful For By : Rev Michael Bresciani By today’s standards of prosperity, safety and comfort the Pilgrims would have far more reason to complain than to offer thanks. So why were they thankful? Lowering the Cost of Church Building Design By : stevea Architectural design is a significant cost item in church construction. These two strategies can help the church reduce the cost of a church building program, reduce conflict and increase overall satisfaction with the building program. Crime Does Not Pay - Except on American Television By : Rev Michael Bresciani The film industry must warn the public about violence when deciding what rating a movie must carry. Yet on any night of the week upwards of two hundred million Americans are watching thousands of violent acts on their own televisions. Is it ok to feed children violence at home but wrong in public? Revival Fires in America – Where Will They Light By : Rev Michael Bresciani When a church puts a banner out announcing that they are holding a revival that usually means one thing. It means the evangelist is coming to fire up the church. It is said that an expert is only a man from out of town with a brief case. Can the church live in this cycle of inactivity followed by forced fire. The answer is an unequivocal no, but even more so as we approach the coming calamities of the “Last Days.” Americans Need a Savior not Another Guru By : Rev Michael Bresciani The late Jeanne Dixon appeared at the now removed Rivergate Auditorium in New Orleans. A friend of mine went to hear her speak and returned with one of the most unusual reports I have ever heard. My friend wasn’t merely critical about what Mrs. Dixon said but rather, how she said it. Religion: Institution Or Revolution? By : Chris McElroy In writing any article about religion you run the risk of people not agreeing with you or the risk of offending people. Does that mean we should not write about religion? Absolutely not. Should we worry that people might be offended? No. We should not go out of our way to offend people, but as long as you write your true beliefs, then you are doing what is in your heart and should share that with others. For many churches, Christianity and religion have become instituti... Seekers and Believers in Fellowship By : Rev. Robert Vergeson D.D. What do we look for when entering a place of worship? Many might say we are seeking a relationship with God, and you would be right on one level of our exploration into our spirituality with God. However, God is everywhere, therefore, any relationship we seek with God can be done anywhere we desire to commune with God. So what role does the house of worship play in our lives if we can relate to God regardless where we are. Fellowship is important for both the seeker and the believer. The Role of the Pastor By : Rev. Robert Vergeson D.D. “What does the word of God tells us on how to be a better Pastor (Elder)? Of course the answer is simple, in the Bible, the word of God. However, for sake of not requiring us to re-read the entire bible, I have narrowed it down to a manageable level. Now the bible in its entirety is a manual which we should use every day of our ministry as a Pastor. It is there that we find many of the answers we need in our Pastoral work. This article will give us 2 lessons on the role of a Pastor. Being Hypocritical About A Truth Does Not Invalidate The Truth. By : Calvin Kuefer Do a Christian's actions change the truth? Let's say I was standing in front of you smoking a cigarette and said, "Smoking is bad for you! You ought not to smoke." Will you say to me, "You are a hypocrite and therefore what you are saying must be false. Therefore, smoking must be good for you." That is absurd. However, rational people will actually say, "Christians are hypocrites and therefore what they are saying must be false. Therefore, there is no God." That i... Tomorrows Church, Todays Hope By : Rev. Robert Vergeson D.D. For those faithful readers, you have read what I have said about “What went wrong with Christ’s Church” and “How to Fix a Broken Church”? This text will share with you my vision for “Tomorrow’s Church, Today’s Hope”, a vision that I feel is inspired by God. We must believe that God always wants us to reach our fullest potential as faithful believers and follower’s of Christ. The church which is “Us” being the true church of God, asked by God to fellowship together as a community of Churches. What went wrong with the Early Church By : Rev. Robert Vergeson D.D. When we read and study the early church in the New Testament we get a social model of the first Christians and the community they strove to create around their faith and teachings of Christ. We learn the difficulties and persecutions of the early Christians not only by the Romans, but the Jewish establishment and temples alike. Needless to say that the disciples to whom Christ instructed, were constantly in fear of reprisal and condemnation of death for following Christ. Is God a Social Worker and we his clients? By : Rev. Robert Vergeson D.D. Now isn’t that a strange question to ask? But think about it for a moment, assuming that most of my readers are up on their knowledge about God in general and the science of social work. Could it be possible that God is the father of social work. I mean what is social work but a “generic term applied to the various organized methods for promoting human welfare through the prevention and relief of suffering.” Gods Tenets part 2 By : Rev. Robert Vergeson D.D. As we have discussed in part I, a tenet is a belief or truth that is held by an individual or group, principals that guide them through life setting a standard of beliefs to which they hold as truth undeniable. The Old testament has been a historical book covering the centuries of a people from the beginning of time. A people who followed God faithfully, and of a people who failed to live up to God’s tenets. Part 2 devles into the New Testament tenets. Gods Tenets Part One By : Rev. Robert Vergeson D.D. A tenet is a belief or truth that is held by an individual or group, principals that guide them through life setting a standard of beliefs to which they hold as truth undeniable. Gods word for man has always been a tenet of truths undeniable by those who model their life after these tenets. In Part I we explore six of these tenets. Putting on the Full Armor of God By : Rev. Robert Vergeson D.D. I believe like most people, we get up in the morning and get dressed. For some this is a daily routine instilled in us since we were old enough to dress ourselves. From the very first we are taught how to dress ourselves. First comes this, then that, then our shoes are last. The then that and this may vary among many as to what they start with first, pants, or shirts. But in the end we to get dressed, day in and day out for the rest of our lives. Did you know that Christ has also taught us to dress ourselves as well. Christ explains that just as we dress ourselves daily, so shall we put on the “Whole Armor of God” as well. Fulfilling the Law: Love Thy Neighbor By : Rev. Robert Vergeson D.D. Fulfilling the Law as given us in Scripture regarding what Jesus told his followers to do, basic of which is Love Thy Neighbor as paramount to how we should conduct ourselves as Christians and our relationship between God, Christ, and ourselves. Nine Ways Organized Religion Converts Success to Catastrophe By : George Wallace Nothing about religion is simple. Some leaders of organized religions freely admit their own lack of faith. They have devoted a lot of time to skimming the cream. An organized religion is a formalization of conservatism designed to resist change. Organized religion provides a baby blanket for adults. Hatred and wars approved of by religion is the greatest of failures of organized religion. Organized religion has used “missionary work” as a weapon of mass destruction. Six Similarities of a Priesthood and Organized Crime By : George Wallace Any priesthood group, or ministry has at least six similarites to organized crime. They have a similarity of purpose: to gather social status, power, and your money. They use a similar plan of organizational structure. There's the similarity of actions in terms of the use of targets of opportunity. Similarity of behaviors: using fear and extortion to get what they want. As for similarity of style: look at their life styles. Lastly, look at the results: the huge flow of funds.
