St Matthews Church – Prayer Handkerchief pictures

I’ve included pictures of the mailings to go with the previous post.  The text came out much clearer when I actually saved it to my computer and viewed them offline.

St Matthew’s Churches – Prayer Handkerchief

Well … Like many other millions of Americans, I received my prayer handkerchief from James Eugene Ewing at St Matthew Churches.  I’ll upload pictures of the mailings later, but thought it important to give some details about who they are and what the mailing was about.

Toyota MR2 – life application

As I was driving in to work this morning, I was passed by a (early 90s) Toyota MR2.  I don’t normally admit when I get passed, but I digress.  It didn’t look much better than the MR2 at the left from CarDomain.  The back (remember – I got passed) was covered in oil from an obvious leak.  The body of the car had dings and dents all over though it seemed to have the original paint.  The car looked quite different now than it did when it was first made.

Ok… Here’s some fun for the creative.

There is a couple at the church front doors.  They are reading a sign.  What does the sign say?  The Original from ReverendFun is hidden below.

Q&A

I heard someone say today, “Oh, nevermind.  I answered my own question.”

I wanted to reply, “Did you get it right?”

I refrained.  So … if you answered your own question incorrectly, would you know it?

Bill Boulet – Book of Matthew Sermons Review

Bill Boulet of Heritage Baptist Church in Lakeland, Fl  was preaching through the book of Matthew.  I’ve tried to perform some sort of a review of this series.  The most recent sermons can be found here.  Pastor Boulet is one of my favourite communicators of God’s word.  He often jokes about his stature (though he’s a little taller than his hair), but is truly a man’s man as a former Green Beret and star golfer at Cedarville.  He cuts through the muck of modern (and feel-good) Christianity and speaks straight to the heart using Scripture as the ultimate authority and caliber of the church and individual.

Mark Driscoll – Preaching and Teaching Jesus from the Scriptures Review

In an earlier post, I made a list of online sermons and series that I was listening to.  I’ll try to review and post my thoughts as I glean insight from these men of faith.

Mark Driscoll spoke at an Acts29 Regional Luncheon where he spoke on Preaching and Teaching Jesus from the Scriptures in September 2006.  The five part series can be found at his blog profile.  The series, though recorded as 2.5 hours, can be heard about 2 hours because of the way the audio was broken up.

The Supremacy of Christ

At the end of September 2006, Desiring God held a conference called, Above All Earthly Power The Supremacy of Christ in a Postmodern World.  The speakers each did some interviews discussing some important issues such as how to keep Christ and the Bible at the center of communicating to a world that doesn’t believe truth as something that is even attainable and penetrating the culture in a counter-cultural way.  Further discussions include being missional and emerging.

Jesus lives in Texas, Really?

In an ABC article, Jose de Jesus claims to be the Second Coming of Jesus.  He says that after a life of drugs, alcohol and a second wife, He became a Christian.  Once he became a Christian, two angels appeared to him and turned him into Jesus.

Really?  Jesus the Peurto Rican, Really?

Oh yea, he lives a Houston suburb and says there is no such thing as sin, hell, or the devil.

Really?  Was all that stuff you said the first time you were here a mistake?

Parenting Books

Phil Monroe has a great post on parenting books.  He is a Christian Psychologist with some good book choices.

But don’t take my word for it.

The Bible gives plenty of instruction on how to raise children to love God and be an honor to parents.  The purpose of the books mentioned in the link are to provide guidelines in fleshing out the Word of God.
