“No Intelligence Allowed”

If you are like me, I love to study to find out truth. As a Christian, I believe that all truth comes from God. We as Christians should NEVER fear truth. Many people think that the only thing Christians have to hang their hat on is faith. Faith is the key to heaven and our belief for eternity. However, truth is very important to the Christian belief. As a pastor, I have heard the same thing from evolutionist and/or atheists and that is truth is on their side. That everything they believe is totally based on facts and truth. (by the way, when you believe in something, anything that takes “ssssshhhhh” don’t let them see this but it takes faith to believe in nothing or evolution)

We as Christians should not only know what we believe but we should not fear studying and understanding critics to God as creator and maker of everything (Intelligent Design). I want to encourage everyone to go and view a new documentary movie called “EXPELLED”. Many of you may remember FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF where Ben Stein played Ferris Bueller’s teacher and his famous line was, “Buuuuueller, Buuuuueller”. Ben Stein has made a movie to expose many problems with academia in our school’s curriculum.

Parents that have college age students should go together and view this movie to see what our colleges and universities are teaching our kids. Truth and facts against Darwinism are not allowed in the classroom; don’t criticize or raise any questions, and creationism is not even allowed to be brought up to study side by side.

From time to time I here things like “there no evidence for that” as if lack of evidence is evidence in itself. Well that’s not the case. Living in our age has great truths or evidences uncovered by archeology looking into our many galaxies everyday that point to an intelligent design and many more scientists are moving away from an evolutionary hypothesis.

Truth is great and we need not fear truth. So check out this video for more information

Just use what you have!

I hear from my brothers and sisters in Christ from time to time that they wonder how God can or would use them. I of course, tell people, just start doing what you like to do but unto God first. I want to encourage you that God has given you everything needed to complete what ever task that He asks you to do. If He asks, then that means you have the ability. So, what’s holding you back from serving God with everything that you have? What excuse will you give for why you are not serving? What do you mean that you JUST CAN’T! Bolder dash, you are ready and you don’t even know it yet.

Many of you know that my mom is a nurse and she works for the state of Connecticut serving the mentally handicap. In my upbringing I was involved in lives that just love life no matter what. This definitely brought me to a completely new understanding as to what being blessed is all about. This leads me in encouraging you the next time you feel like you just don’t have what it takes to be a “fully devoted follower of Christ” and just start living it!

I want to introduce you to a man named Nick Vujicic. Nick was born with no arms, no legs and he will inspire you like no one will. God is using Nick in a way that no one else is being used. You can see more by going to his ministry website: http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org/

Check out this short video and then start getting involved in the “Adventure of Life”! No More Excuses!!
