"Eastern spiritual practices are to have no place in the church. This is really about 'interspirituality': the assimilation of values and spiritual practices of other religions into the Church. Synthesizing all the beliefs. Which does two things; it introduces the church to other foreign and false spiritual beliefs and practices and removes one from a pure devotion to Jesus Christ. This is the influence of a progressive religious unity to bring together all faiths. One can trace this influence to those who are promoting interfaith and want this unity to take place. This is nothing to be naïve or indecisive about. For if you accept this you WILL eventually accept other practices as well. This then becomes the first step on the road to departing from the faith."

The above link takes us to this excellent article: KUNDALINI ENERGY: Yoga’s Power, Influence, and Occult Phenomena in the Church by Chris Lawson

Here is a portion of the article:
"Kundalini energy, the heart and soul of yoga and Contemplative centering prayer, ought to be avoided at all costs. Occult power manifestations occurring in the name of Christianity are a blight upon the name of Jesus Christ and His Church. No wonder the world looks on in disbelief as more and more Christians are utilizing occult methods to “have an experience”. The undiscerning teachers that bring these damnable teachings into the Church as well as all the compromised church leaders who allow these things to continue on unchecked, will no doubt one day hold their heads in desperate shame before the LORD they have professed to love. All under the guise of a deeper, more intimate, more mystical, Christendom, countless compromised Christians of our day are departing from Biblical Christianity. Running headlong after extra-biblical sensory-driven methodology, unstable and untaught Christians are being deceived. As a result they are connecting with the mystical interfacings and teachings of the demons. No other explanation will suffice."

During the Democratic primary battle, blasting the private security firm Blackwater USA as a bunch of unaccountable trigger-happy mercenaries was an easy crowd pleaser - particularly after the September 2006 Nisoor Square incident and a subsequent congressional report that stated the company's use of force was "frequent and extensive".

Was Brownsville Biblical?

November 29, 2008 UPDATE

BACKGROUND
In the late 1990's while living in Georgia, a friend told me about a church she visited in Florida, saying it was life changing. I along with different friends over the next couple of years, began to visit the Brownsville Assembly of God Church in Pensacola. Then at the end of 1999, I quit my job, moved to Pensacola, Florida, and attended the Brownsville School of Ministry. I loved it and even though there were things with which I didn't agree, I stayed with it. After the first year, there was a problem and the school president was fired. From this event, came a new school, FIRE School of Ministry, where I finished my 2nd year and from which I graduated in 2002. Then I became a missionary with FIRE International and moved to Berlin, Germany, where I lived and served the Lord 3 years.

AWAKENING
It was shortly after the Catholic pope died and I saw a photo of President Bush at the funeral with his father and former President Clinton. It struck me odd that this supposed Christian president was kneeling before this dead pope. Also, I wondered why was Bush not renouncing his involvement in the secret Yale fraturnity, Skull and Bones, if he was a Christian? Then I began reading of other Christians who said the pope was saved and went to heaven. This really confused me, so I began to research this and the more I read, the more I saw problems with different 'Christian' leaders I previously followed, including Rick Joyner who had become a Knight of Malta which submits to the Catholic church and is connected to Freemasonry and Billy Graham , a Freemason, who also said the pope went to heaven.

CONFRONTATION
So I brought all these troubling discoveries to the leadership of FIRE International and FIRE Church only to be told not to worry about any of it! They saw no problem with my concerns and rebuke me. Stunned by this response, I began to read and research more - was I off base? What was the TRUTH?? But the more I searched, the MORE deception and lies I uncovered which pretty put me in a state of shock. This included coverup events for September 11, 2001. It wasn't long before I withdrew from FIRE International and returned to the USA in 2005.

TODAY
Now, 3 years later, I realize I was deceived and was following false teachings which included being slain in the spirit and speaking in babbling tongues (not the real gift of tongues as spoken of in the Bible). I am now back in the King James Bible as I believe the modern versions are corrupt. I'd like to find a good church but until then am meeting a couple times a week in the home of friends for prayer, fellowship and reading the Scriptures. My continued prayer is that the Truth be revealed, the lies be exposed, the deceived wakeup, the sinner repent, the lost get saved and the Lord Jesus Christ be glorified. To hear a bit more of my story, please go to my youtube channel.

ORIGINAL POST
Notice in this Brownsville poster from 2000 what pops out of the advertisement: a satanic upside-down cross with a sword that is piercing the Bible. In satanic circles, the upside-down cross symbolizes mockery and rejection of Jesus Christ. Satanists wear necklaces with upside-down crosses.

Tennessee man cites church's liberal values as reason for shooting

A man who shot and killed two parishioners during a children's play at a Tennessee church yesterday attacked the congregation because of its outspoken socially liberal and gay-friendly beliefs, police said.

The 58-year-old unemployed engineer accused in the Sunday morning attack at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, was driven to bloodshed in part by his "stated hatred for the liberal movement" as well as his hatred for gays, said Knoxville, Tennessee, police chief Sterling Owen. "We're certainly investigating it as a hate crime."

According to police, at about 10am yesterday Jim Adkisson strode into the church sanctuary as 200 parishioners watched a children's production of the musical "Annie". He pulled a .12 gauge shotgun from a guitar case and fire three rounds, killing two adults, police said. One of the dead was shot as he attempted to shield others from gunfire, witnesses said. Parishioners then tackled Adkisson and held him until police arrived.

"I do not believe he expected to leave there alive," Owen said. He said Adkisson had been planning the attack for a week, but added

"I'm sure this is something that's been building a long time."

Investigators described Adkisson as a former member of an Army airborne unit who trained as a mechanical engineer and had held jobs across the country. He had apparently been out of work since 2006, and believed liberals were taking jobs he should have, Owen said. Investigators are not aware of any affiliation with a church or with any known hate groups. Adkisson had no next of kin or family, police said.

According to a four-page manifesto police found in his SUV in the church parking lot, Adkisson believed the church to be a bastion of liberalism in an otherwise socially conservative area of eastern Tennessee.

"That church had received some publicity in the recent past regarding its liberal stance on things," Owen said, "and that is at least one of the issues we believe caused that church to be targeted".

The church's website speaks of its "long and rich history of taking stands for social justice," and said it has fought since the 1950s for racial desegregation, fair wages and equal treatment for women and homosexuals. It provides sanctuary for political refugees and founded a chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. The church hosts social events for gay and lesbian teens.

The FBI logged 7,722 hate crimes in 2006, the most recent year for which complete statistics are available. That is down slightly from 2000. Hate crime attacks at churches are rare, according to FBI statistics. Only 4% in 2006 occurred at places of worship.

An FBI official said federal law enforcement officials were investigating whether to prosecute Adkisson for forcibly preventing the free expression of worship, a federal civil rights violation.

Adkisson is charged with first-degree murder and is held on $1m bail.

The Old Cross and the New


The Old Cross and the New

By A. W. Tozer

All unannounced and mostly undetected, there has come in modern times a new cross into popular evangelical circles. It is like the old cross, but different. The likenesses are superficial; the differences, fundamental.

From this new cross has sprung a new philosophy of the Christian life, and from that new philosophy has come a new evangelical technique–a new type of meeting and a new kind of preaching. This new evangelism employs the same language as the old, but its content is not the same and its emphasis not as before.

The old cross would have no truck with the world. For Adam’s proud flesh it meant the end of the journey. The new cross is not opposed to the human race. Rather, it is a friendly pal and, if understood aright, it is the source of oceans of good, clean fun and innocent enjoyment. It lets Adam live without interference. His life motivation is unchanged. He still lives for his own pleasure, only now he takes delight in singing choruses and watching religious movies instead of singing bawdy songs and drinking hard liquor. The accent is still on enjoyment, though the fun is now on a higher plane morally if not intellectually.

The new cross encourages a new and entirely different evangelistic approach. The evangelist does not demand abnegation of the old life before a new life can be received. He preaches not contrasts but similarities. He seeks to key into public interest by showing that Christianity makes no unpleasant demands. Rather, it offers the same thing the world does, only on a higher level. Whatever the sin-mad world happens to be clamoring after at the moment is cleverly shown to be the very thing the gospel offers, only the religious product is better.

The new cross does not slay the sinner, it redirects him. It gears him into a cleaner and jollier way of living and saves his self-respect. To the self-assertive it says, “Come and assert yourself for Christ.” To the egotist it says, “Come and do your boasting in the Lord.” To the thrill-seeker it says, “Come and enjoy the thrill of Christian fellowship.” The Christian message is slanted in the direction of the current vogue in order to make it acceptable to the public.

The philosophy back of this kind of thing may seem sincere, but its sincerity does not save it from being false. It is false because it is blind. It misses completely the whole meaning of the cross.

The old cross is a symbol of death. It stands for the abrupt, violent end of a human being. The man in Roman times who took up his cross and started down the road had already said good-by to his friends. He was not coming back. He was going out to have it ended. The cross made no compromise, modified nothing, spared nothing. It slew all of the man, completely and for good. It did not try to keep on good terms with its victim. It struck cruel and hard, and when it had finished its work, the man was no more.

The race of Adam is under a death sentence. There is no commutation and no escape. God cannot approve any of the fruits of sin, however innocent they may appear to the eyes of men. God salvages the individual by liquidating him and then raising him again to newness of life.

That evangelism which draws friendly parallels between the ways of God and the ways of men is false to the Bible and cruel to the souls of its hearers. The faith of Christ does not parallel the world, it intersects it. In coming to Christ we do not bring our old life up onto a higher plane–we leave it at the cross. The corn of wheat must fall into the ground and die.

We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports, or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.

God offers life, but not an improved old life. The life He offers is life out of death. It stands always on the far side of the cross. Whoever would possess it must pass under the rod. He must repudiate himself and concur in God’s just sentence against him. What does this mean to the individual, the condemned man who would find life in Christ Jesus? How can this theology be translated into life? Simply, he must repent and believe. He must forsake his sins and then go on to forsake himself. Let him cover nothing, defend nothing, excuse nothing. Let him not seek to make terms with God, but let him bow his head before the stroke of God’s stern displeasure and acknowledge himself worthy to die.

Having done this, let him gaze with simple trust upon the risen Saviour, and from Him will come life and rebirth and cleansing and power. The cross that ended the earthly life of Jesus now puts an end to the sinner, and the power that raised Christ from the dead now raises him to a new life along with Christ.

To any who may object to this or count it merely a narrow and private view of truth, let me say God has set His hallmark of approval upon this message from Paul’s day to the present. Whether stated in these exact words or not, this has been the content of all preaching that has brought life and power to the world through the centuries. The reformers, the revivalists have put their emphasis here, and signs and wonders and mighty operations of the Holy Ghost gave witness to God’s approval.

Dare we, the heirs of such a legacy of power, tamper with the truth? Dare we with our stubby pencils erase the lines of the blueprint or alter the pattern shown us? God forbid. Let us preach the old cross and we will know the old power.

"...Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king."


What did the Lord Jesus Christ and his disciples do while living under the wicked Roman government? Did they take up arms and plan a revolution?

What are Christians today to do if living under a wicked government? Should we take up arms and plan a revolution?

In spite of some Christians who promote violence and war, we never read of this type of behavior in the New Testament. Rather we read of Jesus telling us in Matthew 5, "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."

The roll of the Christian in any situation is to serve the Lord, honor all men, love the brotherhood, fear God and honor the king.

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. Romans 13:1,2

The Scriptures tell us that Jesus' apostles did not lead a political movement nor an insurrection against their government. In fact, Peter wrote the following while living under the wicked reign of Emperor Nero:

Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. I Pet. 2:13-17

VIDEO - Documentary - War Made Easy
War Made Easy reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose a 50-year pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged the United States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes remarkable archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing in stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of successive presidential administrations.

Family planning groups object to abortion plan
Family planning groups and at least one member of Congress objected on Tuesday to a Bush administration memo that defines several widely used contraception methods as abortion and protects the right of medical providers to refuse to offer them.

Churches seek legal protection from same-sex activists
Legal briefings being conducted by the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) are meant to give practical counsel to pastors to limit legal liability to churches as they face requests to perform same-sex ceremonies. PJI president Brad Dacus says the Supreme Court's ruling caught many pastors by surprise.

Obama's 'civilian national security force'
In talking about his plans to double the size of the Peace Corps and nearly quadruple the size of AmeriCorps and the size of the nation's military services, he made this rather shocking (and chilling) pledge: "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

I-Team: Injection Used To Subdue Prisoners

NAACP Challenged to Condemn the Racism of Planed Parenthood
A superhero organization wearing a mighty breastplate forged in polished steel, the words freedom and liberty emblazoned where the hearts of all black Americans pounded in rhythm to the spiritual "we shall overcome."

War Made Easy

"They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace." Jeremiah 6:14 & 8:11

During World War I, 10% of all casualties were civilians.

During World War II, the number of civilian deaths rose to 50%.

During the Vietnam War, 70% of all casualties were civilians.

In the War in Iraq, civilians account for 90% of all deaths."

It was while living in Berlin, Germany, as a missionary that I discovered the deception I was under which included the lies behind 9/11. Right before my return to the states, one of my German friends said to me, "I always wondered why you Americans trusted your leaders. We don't trust ours." Now I see how we have been and continue to be brainwashed and deceived via the mass news media, much like Hitler's Germany.

The above video is is good in that it exposes the deception behind war. However, it is produced by agents provocateur to ultimately provoke us to anger and violence. It gives us a lot of truth but not all of it. It tells how war is manipulated but it doesn't tell us who is really behind it all.

There is a hidden agenda and the following short clip tells about a video game called 'Shattered Union" which is about the plan for the USA: to bring us into a massive civil war.

War is evil and wrong; violence is never the answer.

In Matthew 5, the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Prince of peace says, "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."

The Franklin Cover-Up: Child Abuse, Satanism, and Murder in Nebraska by John W. Decamp

Readers Comments from amazon.com:

1. "I live in Omaha. I married a man who graduated from boystown. I know two of his friends from boystown, one who worked in the media and the other worked at franklin credit union. All 3 attended the parties. All 3 were coke addicts. All three witnessed child abuse. All 3 kept their mouths shut. My husband told me the truth but realized there was nothing he could do. Who was going to listen to a cokehead? I know it's the truth. Call us crazy when the corruption gets so bad that it affects YOU."

2. "I met former state senator John DeCamp a few months ago at the Olde Main Street Inn in Chadron, Nebraska. We traded books. Actually he bought both of mine, and then a few weeks later he sent me a copy of his, gratis. Despite being impressed by the man, I immediately discounted his self-published book as another conspiracy account with Satanism and the CIA. But as I read it rang true. I began to corroborate (check out the banned documentary, Conspiracy of Silence, the Gunderson Report, and Noreen Gosch's "Why Johnny Can't Come Home"). I have no doubt that the vast majority, if not all of this revelation is true. Why would DeCamp sacrifice a comfortable and affluent existence (private law firm, lobbyist) and risk the well-being and safety of his family to expose this? A very disturbing account, especially the media's role in discrediting victims' testimony and the many "accidental deaths" surrounding the investigations. The press has the only existing power to counter governmental malfeasance, and their failure in this is glaring. I'm glad now that Amazon demands real names on reviews because I see a number of glossy discredits without names. More of the cover-up people undoubtedly trying to keep their sorry carcasses out of jail. Get the newest edition, if you can, because it contains updates and also interesting insights into some of the recent militia problems and the Oklahoma City bombing. If we can't keep our governmental bodies to some degree accountable, we all lose. The tree of liberty is nourished with the blood of tyrants. I strongly recommend this book and I hope that eventually someone besides these children who were ruined will come forward and justice will be served."

3. "I happened upon this book by accident. this book will make you sick, it will make you cry, and it will make you madder than you have ever been. This is a book every American should read. The United States that we all love and would die to defend is in serious trouble, after reading this book, then you will be ready to start reading David Icke's books, BUT not before, Mr. Icke's books are to far out there for most people, but if you start with this book, written by a former US Senator and learn what he uncovered, then proceed to Icke. Our freedom is not what we think it is. Please read this book, there will be a time in the future that you will need to remember it."

The Horror of Human Trafficking - Part 3

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

Johnny Gosch 1982

"On Sept. 5th, 1982, nearly twenty five years ago, someone kidnapped my twelve year old son, Johnny. I have spent all of these years searching, working three jobs in order to continue this investigation and learn the truth. Recently, there has been a great deal of activity on my son's case. I have also received hundreds of photos of children, some are Johnny and many other children all bound/gagged. The collection of photos also include a number of men who are the "perps". I have placed these photos in the hands of the proper authorities for their handling. I do want to thank the people who have shared information with me, it has been very helpful. The Human Trafficking situation in our country/world is very much alive and well. It is a multi billion dollar business and growing annually. These people think they have the right to take someone's child to use sexually and make money. It is out of control !!!!"

A Reader's Comment from amazon.com:

"I live within 8 miles of where Johnny was Kidnapped. For over 18 years I have followed this story and could not understand why Law Enforcement Agencies (Local, State and Federal), and even the Newspaper (Johnny was delivering at the time he was kidnapped) would turn their back's on Noreen's request for help. I can only say as a parent how thankful I am that Noreen continued her fight to find Johnny and protect not only the local children but children all over the Country and didn't cave in under the pressure. The book answers all the questions that so may of us have been asking all this time. Although it's unbelievable that this could happen in America there is actual documentation for numerous sources proving what happened and that it's still going on. I don't know where our Society went wrong, but I'm extremely grateful to have people like Noreen who have sacrificed so much but still have the determination and spirit to try and make a difference. I only pray that some day there will be closure and Johnny does come home."

Received this email from Noreen today and below is my response to her:

Subject: YOUR WEBSITE

Thank you for posting your site and the info about the Franklin Case.

If you would ever like information about the Johnny Gosch Kidnapping, please let me know. My son's kidnapping is connected with Franklin.

I have a website if you would like to look at it:

My reply:

Hello Noreen,
Thank you so much for writing! Bless your heart, Noreen... the torture and pain you continue to go through is horrific and as a mother and grandmother, I am overwhelmed with remorse for you and all the families who have missing children.

I watched the videos of the one man who walked around the city talking to you about his past and the negligence of he police authorities. His passion and concern prompted me to post what I did. Both he and you and very courageous people. Sadly, I believe there is corruption at most every level and these underground activities are going on in all cities across the globe.

As a Christian, my hope comes from the Lord Jesus Christ and from the Scriptures. The world is a mess in so many ways but we continue to press on, praying for souls to be saved as we share Gospel. Even though it looks glim as we peel this painful onion of the underworld, there is Light at the end of the tunnel when we put our trust in God.

I pray for your son to find freedom in every sense of the word and that the Prince of peace, the Lord Jesus Christ, bring you comfort and hope in spite of how things may look in the natural. Is anything too difficult for the Lord?

Your story has brought A LOT of visibility to the problem which most news sources avoid. If there is anything more I can do to help, please let me know. I will post your email as an update here: http://enjoyingthejourney.blogspot.com/2008/07/horror-of-human-trafficking-part-3.html

Patricia Green (in middle wearing blue) with the staff and girls at Rahab Ministries in Bangkok, Thailand

Again while living in Berlin, Germany (2002-2005), we met New Zealand native Patricia Green who had brought a small team from Thailand to reach out to the Thai prostitutes.

She founded Rahab Ministries in Bangkok which uses friendship evangelism to reach out to the bar-girls and prostitutes with the love of Jesus. At a practical level it offers alternative income-making opportunities for the girls in hairdressing/make-up courses and handicrafts.

Today, Patricia lives in Berlin and works on behalf of the thousands of young women and children who are trafficked across national borders for the purposes of prostitution. She was instrumental in beginning an outreach, Alabaster Jar, for women working on the streets.
