I give God thy glory and honor of each and every baby smiling in the night. I have enough faith in Him and His eternal love so that I am comfortable enough with myself to not be tempted by the 'dancing devil'. I can read 'Harry Potter' and know that it is JUST a story, and know I will not be damned into the 9th circle of hell. Reading a children's story book that suggests witchcraft isn't going to lure me into the dark side, reading 'The DaVinci Code' isn't going to make me love God and Our Lord Jesus Christ the Savior any less just because it presents new ideas...I think God loves everyone who loves him and serves him...and while I give my love and faith to him every day, I am also able to enjoy the things actual LIFE has to offer without feeling tempted by devils. For me to be able to go over to the DARK DEPTHS OF *gasp* COMEDY and READING FOR ENTERTAINMENT and then go right back to serving God without having my views or perceptions changed in anyway is how it should be. I believe God wants everyone to be happy and enjoy life and find pleasure in each and every day and I don't think he'd mind if you laughed a wee bit at his expense.

If evolution were true we might slightly resemble MONKEYS!!! HAHAHAHA!!!! Who ever heard of a human being looking anything like a gorilla!? Can you imagine if we walked around like monkeys on our feet? And used our hands to eat our food? And carried our babies in our arms on our hips? Hilarious!! Thank the 6 lb 8 oz Jesus we aren't anything like that!

Fellowship / Testimonies / My Calling

Looking outside of my window, watching the world passing by, I was feeling so terribly lonely. I wanted to sit down and cry. Suddenly, I felt a presence ending my deep dark fears. There was this heavenly sound of something ringing in my ears. Jesus called me on my cell phone. No roaming charges were incurred. He told me that I should go out in the world and spread His glorious word.
Walking the streets of the city, I was feeling such feelings of strife. I left all my friends far behind me, and I was running away from my life. Suddenly I felt a presence. I got a second chance. There was this vibrating feeling on the belt loop of my pants. Jesus paged me on my beeper. He called from Heaven up above. He said I should go to the ends of the earth and spread His glorious love.
I'm losing your signal Lord. Can you try your call again? Please Lord! I'm losing you! I'm going in a tunnel and I can't see the light! But then Jesus called me on my cell phone! The clearest voice I ever heard! He beeped me! He faxed me! He emailed my soul and said till the day I'm dead that I must spread His glorious word!

John: 2, Mother Mary got invited to a wedding. Everybody's drinking, excited, when all of the sudden, the wine gave out! Mary on the QT gave JC a shout. Jesus said, "Woman, what do I have to do with you?" He was only there to party with his twelve member crew but Mary was his mama so He said "Fill up those cups with water" and they did, thinkin it was worth a shot. Jesus said "Take some out and give it to the waiter!" He drank and said "Why'd you save the good stuff for later?" The wedding was a hit, and everything turned out fine. But how'd he make the water turn into wine!?
Mark: 1, Galilee was where he was, casting out demons and preaching like he does, when a leper showed up and begged the Big Man, "Make me clean! If you're willing you can!" JC feeling sorry cause he knew that leprosy is a whack disease that makes a homey go to pieces. He reached out his hand and touched him. "And I will him be cleansed," he said, and it worked too! The man was all right cause he came to my boy. Not since Second Kings has anybody heard this noise, and all he had to do was give that guy one little touch. So amazing I wanna know so much!
Matt:14, his posse's in the water, rowing all night while Jesus prayed to his father. They were far from shore and the sea was wicked rough, when they saw a ghost just walking on the water...SCARY STUFF! They all cried out in fear thinking things were pretty bleak, floating on the ocean, but up a creek. "It was I," Jesus said, "Don't be afraid." But they had doubt, so Jesus said to Peter, "Stand up and get out of the boat and come to me" and Pete was walking like a pro, but the wind kicked up and he was sinking like a stone. So back in the boat Pete and Jesus hopped. But when they sat down, the wind just stopped.
Seeing is believing. Seeing is believing. Seeing is believing. Seeing is believing.
He coulda laid low in a carpenter shop just hammering away with the surrogate pop but He took it to the streets and kept it real. A lotta folks saying "This guy's the real deal!" They asked for His help and He didn't avoid them, rolled up his sleeves and Siegfried and Roy'd em, no hat, no wand, no abra cadabra. Pretty fly stuff to this lowly rapper. But some dude said "That was a long time ago. When's the last time He did a magic show?" Well if your eyes ain't shut and your heart ain't iced, you might find yourself saying JESUS CHRIST, how'd you do that? How'd you make it happen? Christ, how'd you do that? How'd you make it go down?
Christ, how'd you do that? How'd you make it happen? Christ how'd you do that? Jesus Christ!

So basically you don't have any self control. Even if you watch something like this, which is in no way offensive or in no way pokes fun, just goes for a laugh, you will be "dancing with the devil"? Here's a thought...watch it...laugh...and get on with your life! If something such as a comedic video lures you to the devil, you have severe problems not even the Sweet Lord can help you with!

Fellowship / You name it!! / Why Don't As Many People Go To Church Anymore!?
|

People don't go to church no more. They're scared of acting like fools. They don't know what to do at mass. Listen! I am gonna lay down the rules!
Stand up and sing a hymn to heaven. Stand up and watch the organist play. Stand up and sing a hymn to heaven. Stand up, stand up, stand up today.
Kneel and say a prayer to Jesus. Kneel and wash your sins away. Kneel and say a prayer to Jesus. Kneel, kneel, kneel today.
Sit down, and listen to the homily. Sit down, and hear what the priest has to say. Sit down, and listen to the homily. Sit down, sit down, sit down today!
Then the collection plate gets passed at any minute and when it gets to you, you put some money in it, and at the end of mass, a moment you can savor...you get to look around and shake the hand of your neighbor.
Peace be with you, peace be with you, peace be with you, peace be with you.
Stand up, kneel, sit down, stand up, kneel, sit down, stand up, kneel, sit down, stand up, kneel, sit down, stand up, kneel, sit down...genuflect today! The mass is ended, go in peace!

Welcome / About You! / Why Do I Love God? Because GOD Loves EVERYONE!

What I've learned in exploring my love for God, is that you can't be afraid of looking within, because that's where the greatest miracles occur. And DO NOT feel ashamed. No matter who you are, there is a little good in the worst of us and a little bad in the best of us. And just as God brought me to where I am today, He brought you to where YOU are for a reason! How open are you to hearing his call? And even if God's plan doesn't make a lot of sense to you...or your mother...you gotta heed that call! Because just as I was taught, we're all God's children. And once you put your faith in, trust. He got your back.
Somedays you just can't begin. You feel outside looking in. It's like you're the odd man out. Let me help you and your doubt.
It doesn't matter if you're different and out of place. It doesn't matter if there's acne upon your face. It doesn't matter. Take my hand and then you will see everybody fits in God's great family.
Strangers seem to stop and stare, wondering why you're even there. Feeling so left out and wrong...I'll show you that you belong!
It doesn't matter if you have a gigantic nose. It doesn't matter if you're born with eleven toes. It doesn't matter. You can trust and believe in me. Everybody fits in God's great family.
In the family of God you'll learn that there is no such thing as others. All the women and men on earth can be your sisters and your brothers!
It doesn't matter if you're wrinkled and old and gray. It doesn't matter if you face Mecca when you pray. It doesn't matter. Won't you listen and hear my plea? Everybody fits! It doesn't matter if you're yellow or white or red. It doesn't matter if you're pregnant and you're unwed. It doesn't matter because the truth, it can set you free. Everybody fits! It doesn't matter! Every murderer on death row. It doesn't matter! Every prostitute that you know! It doesn't matter! Welcome to the fraternity! Everybody fits in God's family.
You and me - we fit in to the family!
