2008-02-22 03:29:00
I like to have fun all the time. I open to trying new things. I'm the perfect girl if you don't take yourself to seriously and you can laugh at yourself and be silly!If you feel like talking...Message me ...If you want to see more pictures of me send me a quick message.....I love movies and TV. Tivo was the worst invention. Its made me watch more TV than ever. I listen to all kinds of music. I wear make-up and like to get dressed up, but I'm not really a girly girl, I can hang with the guys. I just think that the most important thing in life is just to have fun with a milf seeker and be happy. So if I sound like someone you might like to meet, like I said before, just IM me!

Judgment in the New Testament
2007-07-01 22:22:00
"In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God , and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power" (II Thessalonians 1:8-9).Many critics have decried what they contend is the Bible 's inconsistency. The Old Testament is a harsh indictment of human sin and warning of coming divine judgment, they say, whereas the New Testament stresses God's grace and love.The fact is, however, that the Old Testament contains numerous testimonies of the love and merciful loving-kindness of God (e.g., Psalm 103). Similarly, the most striking and fearsome warnings and prophecies of judgment to come are found in the New Testament. The above text for the day is an example, with its revelation of the coming eternal separation from God of all who reject Christ and His saving gospel.The Lord Jesus Christ Himself uttered more warnings of future hell than anyone else recorded in ...

Walk as He Walked
2007-05-31 00:45:00
"He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked" (I John 2:6).The idea of walking as Christ walked can be intimidating to a Christian. After all, the sinless Son of God , Himself fully God, who gave up everything to serve and save rebellious mankind, set an exceedingly high standard.Nothing short of perfection and total sacrifice will do. Nevertheless, while we recognize that we will never fully achieve Christlikeness on this side of glory, we have "received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him" (Colossians 2:6). Let us note several specific commands in the New Testament which describe such a walk.First and foremost, we are to "Walk in the Spirit" (Galatians 5:16; see also verse 25 and Romans 8:1-4). The empowering of the Holy Spirit makes it possible for us to "walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto His kingdom and glory" (I Thessalonians 2:12; Ephesians 4:1). Furthermore, our walk is a walk of faith: "For we walk by faith, not by sight" (...

Every Day is "Memorial Day"
2007-05-26 01:18:00
Freedom Is Not FreeI watched the flag pass by one day.It fluttered in the breeze.A young Marine saluted it,And then he stood at ease.I looked at him in uniform So young, so tall, so proud,He'd stand out in a crowd.I thought how many men like him had fallen through the years.How many had died on foreign soil?How many mothers' tears?How many pilots' planes shot down?How many died at sea?How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?No, freedom is not free.I heard the sound of Taps one night,when everything was still I listened to the bugler play And felt a sudden chill.I wondered just how many times That Taps had meant "Amen" When a flag had draped a coffin Of brother or a friend.I thought of all the children, Of mothers and the wives, Of fathers, sons and husbands with interrupted lives.I thought about a graveyard At the bottom of the sea Of unmarked graves in Arlington...No, freedom is not free.Author Unknown

How Many Does It Take To Change A Light Bulb?

1. How many Charismatics does it take to change a light bulb?One to change the bulb and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.2. How many Calvinists does it take to change a light bulb?None. God has predestined when the light will be on. Calvinists do not change light bulbs. They simply read the instructions and pray the light bulb will be one that has been chosen to be changed.3. How many Armenians does it take to change a light bulb?All. They need everyone to make sure it stays on. One can never really be sure.4. How many Baptists does it take to change a light bulb?Change ???5. How many neo-orthodox does it take to change a bulb?No one knows. They can't tell the difference between light and dark.6. How many TV evangelists does it take to change a light bulb?One. But for the message of light to continue, send in your donation today.7. How many independent fundamentalists does it take to change a light bulb?Only one, because any more might result in too much cooperation.8. Ho...

Leviathan
2007-05-13 01:04:00
"In that day the Lord with His sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and He shall slay the dragon that is in the sea" (Isaiah 27:1).There is a remarkable animal called a "leviathan," described in the direct words of God in chapter 41 of Job. It is surprising that most modern expositors call this animal merely a crocodile. Our text plainly calls it a "piercing serpent . . . the dragon that is in the sea." He is also said to "play" in the "great and wide sea" (Psalm 104:25-26). God's description in Job 41 says "a flame goeth out of his mouth" (v.21), and "he maketh the deep to boil like a pot" (v.31). The entire description is awesome! Whatever a leviathan might have been, it was not a crocodile!In fact, there is no animal living today which fits the description. Therefore, it is an extinct animal, almost certainly a great marine reptile with "terrible teeth" and "scales" (vv.14-15) still surviving in the oce...

The Cleansing Blood
2007-04-26 03:08:00
"But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin" (I John 1:7).There is a common cultic heresy to the effect that the blood of Christ has no cleansing efficacy of itself, even though this contradicts the plain statement of our text. John wrote the above words long after Christ's blood had all been spilled on the cross, but it was still miraculously cleansing sinners in His day, and is in ours as well.It is true that Christ's blood supported His physical life, for "the life of the flesh is in the blood" (Leviticus 17:11). But His blood was not like the blood of other men, for it was "the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot" (I Peter 1:19), uncontaminated either by genetic defects due to accumulated generations of mutations (as in all other men and women), or inherent sin. When His blood was shed, it did not simply disappear into the ground and...

Global chess game
2007-04-20 02:16:00
Global warming is a scam embraced by not only those who wish to profit from it, but more importantly, socialists and communists who wish to place more regulations and controls on America ns.Our politicians and those in positions to profit financially or to gain power enjoy this great ignorance. They know that more Americans will vote in one week for an American Idol contestant than will vote for either presidential candidate. Even less vote in congressional or local races. More importantly, they know they can continue to place more and more constraints on individual rights and capitalism while changing the Constitution at will. It won't be on the "Oprah Winfrey Show," "Friends" reruns, or "Monday Night Football," or even the 6 o'clock news, so most people won't even notice as we're taxed to death or our rights are slowly stripped away, disguised as "good for the country."I fear for my children's futures in America unless its citizen's wake up and become involved again in the po...

All the Fountains of the Deep
2007-04-15 04:23:00
"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened" (Genesis 7:11).Our text describes the primary physical causes for the Flood of Noah's day, as well as the primary sources for the vast waters which covered the earth. The first source is very interesting from a geological point of view, and to grasp some semblance of its meaning is necessary if we would understand the Flood.As the "deep" in Scripture usually refers to the ocean (i.e., Genesis 1:2), so the "great deep" which was "broken up" evidently speaks of great subterranean reservoirs or chambers deep inside the earth, all of which spewed forth their contents at the same time. This breakup continued all over the earth for 150 days (see Genesis 7:11; 7:24; 8:2).The reference to "broken up" merits attention, for it implies a wrenching of the earth's crust, a great tectonic event....

Witnesses of the Resurrection
2007-04-08 23:35:00
"Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,...Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that He was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of His resurrection" (Acts 1:21-22).The most important event since the creation itself was the resurrection of Christ, and it was vital that the witness of His chosen apostles focus especially on this great event. They must believe with confidence in His bodily resurrection, having been with Him throughout His ministry, heard His predictions of the resurrection, then seen the infallible proofs thereof, especially the empty tomb and His post-resurrection appearances. Both the original eleven and Matthias, chosen to replace Judas, satisfied these requirements.Then after the coming of God's Holy Spirit at Pentecost, "with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection . . . and great grace was upon them all" (4:33).

Offended at Him
2007-04-01 03:30:00
"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not His sisters here with us? And they were offended at Him" (Mark 6:3).There is many an individual who has by God 's grace found the Lord and has had a fruitful ministry in a place far from his hometown where he once lived a lifestyle of which he has now repented. Going home is difficult, for his former companions in sin will be there to oppose and tempt and disbelieve.In the course of His travels, Jesus returned to His birthplace (v.1), and although He had lived a sinless life in His early years, He was still only one of the local citizens, and this resulted in their prideful opposition and disbelief."And when the sabbath day was come, He began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing Him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto Him, that even such mighty works are wrought by His hands?" (v.2). As in ou...

Seeing Jesus in All the Books of the Bible
2007-03-28 01:23:00
When you go to the Book of Genesis, look for the Lord Jesus Christ there. The promise is given that the seed of woman shall bruise the serpents head (3:15). Then turn to Exodus and you find that He is the One, and the only One, that can lead a soul out of the land of bondage into the liberty of the sons of God . You study that wonderful Book of Leviticus, those forms and ceremonies, those types and shadows, and they are all an enigma until you get the golden key and find that they all point to the coming of Him who shall fulfill them in His one great sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary. You read the Book of Deuteronomy, and you remember that "the law is our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ." You go on and study the Book of the Kings, and find that all the kings were imperfect and more or less failed, because all were types of the coming of the King of kings, the only perfect Ruler of His people. You read the beautiful Book of the Psalms, and more or less directly they all center in...

The 12th Imam
2007-03-22 02:28:00
". . . if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, He is there; believe him not: For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect" (Mark 13:21-22).President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran closed his address to the United Nations in October 2005 with a prayer imploring Allah to hasten the return of the 12th Imam. Since then, he has become openly vitriolic toward the "infidels" (Christians and Jews), threatening to destroy the people of Israel and the power of America.A raving madman or a glimpse at a demonic plan to attack Judeo-Christian peoples? Serious Bible students will be cautious about jumping to conclusions, but the enemy has not been stirring the Islamic pot for amusement!An Islamic Messiah?Islam has its own "end times" that interestingly parallel certain Biblical teachings about our Messiah.

THE HOLY BIBLE vs.THE TV GUIDE

On the table side by side,The Holy Bible and the TV Guide .One is well worn and cherished with pride,But that one is not the Bible, it's the TV Guide.As the pages are turned what shall they see?It doesn't matter, just turn on the TV.Then is the confusion started for they can't all agree,What they shall watch on that old TV.So they refer to the Book in which they all confide,But it's not the Bible, it's the TV Guide.The Word of God is seldom read,Maybe a verse or two just before bed.Exhausted and sleepy, tired as can be,Not from reading the Bible, but from watching TV.Then back to the table, side by side,The Holy Bible and the TV Guide.No time for prayer, no time for the Word.The plan of salvation is seldom heard.Forgiveness of sin so full and free,We find in the Bible and not on TV.

What is Faith?
2007-03-10 18:31:00
POPULAR DEFINITIONS:Faith is one of those words that is difficult to tie down to one simple definition. According to a modern dictionary, faith is "unquestioning belief that does not require proof or evidence." As it regards the faith found in the Bible , this is simply not true. A. A. Hodge truly said, "Faith must have adequate evidence, else it is mere superstition." Faith is not the opposite of fact or of scientific knowledge. The evidences of faith may operate differently than those of science, but they are there.Someone else has come up with an acronym for FAITH: ForsakingAllITakeHimThis is an good illustration to use when teaching about faith, but as with most definitions of this kind, it still comes far short.Many Bible students will give Hebrews 11:1 as the definition for faith and leave it at that. Hebrews 11:1 states, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." However, even though this is the form defintions are given in, this verse i...

The Truth About Firearms

I compiled the following statistics from an article that appeared in the New America n magazine. Please take a few moments to compare the facts to the lies and innuendoes that the liberals are presenting on the issue of the Second Amendment.The liberal lie: The murder rate with guns has increased astronomically in recent years.The TRUTH: In 1974, handguns were involved in 11,125 murders, in 1988 that figure had fallen to 8,275. In 1966 murder with guns accounted for 64.8 percent of the total murders, in 1985 that figure was 58.7 percent. The fact is gun ownership has been on the increase (more than doubling since 1968), while murder with guns has been on the decrease.The liberal lie: A handgun is much more likely to be used by a criminal in the conduct of a crime than by a citizen in legitimate self-defense.The TRUTH: In an average year, law-abiding citizens use handguns 645,000 times to defend themselves from criminal action, compared to an average of 581,000 misuses of handguns by ...

ICR Executive Encounters Atheist David Seaborg in BBC Interview
2007-02-27 01:52:00
While thousands of ministers across the United States extolled the virtues and accomplishments of Charles Darwin on ?Evolution Sunday,? the Institute for Creation Research took this opportunity to present the truths of biblical creation to evolutionists in a different setting.Dr. Henry Morris III, CEO of ICR, was invited to interact with evolutionary biologist Dr. David Seaborg on a BBC radio interview held February 11 in northern California. Dr. Seaborg, son of Nobel Laureate Glenn Seaborg, is a professing atheist and an international activist on environmental and peace issues. BBC radio had asked Dr. Morris to ?react? to the Darwin Day speech given by Seaborg, the first of several interviews arranged by the broadcaster.After the encounter, Dr. Morris wrote of his conversation with Dr. Seaborg:This interview proved to be an interesting encounter for me.

Many pastors take advantage of special occasions and holidays to preach topical sermons of importance to families, communities, and even the nation.

Other days of remembrance include Valentine?s Day, Mother?s Day, and even ?Sanctity of Life Sunday,? intended to remind Christians of the millions of unborn children who have been murdered since 1973 through abortions.However, not everyone is aware that February 11, 2007 has been proclaimed ?Evolution Sunday? by over 10,000 ministers across the United States. Started by the ?Clergy Letter Project,? this day of remembrance coincides with the birthday of Charles Darwin , the father of modern evolutionary thought.

Black History Month Part II
2007-02-17 04:55:00
The Rev. Andrew Bryan 1737-1812 Andrew Bryan was born in slavery and grew up as a slave on a plantation in South Carolina. In 1782, Andrew and his wife Hannah became Christians under the preaching of the Rev. George Liele (1752 - 1828), an African America n born into slavery who ministered the Gospel to other slaves. (Liele was the first African American ordained as a Baptist preacher.) Only nine months after his conversion, Andrew ? still a slave ? was preaching to both black and white congregations. He evangelized slaves on neighboring plantations and erected a crude wooden church; his congregation grew rapidly, attended by both blacks and whites. On January 20, 1788, Bryan was ordained as a Baptist minister.As a result of the rapid growth of his church, persecution was initiated by nearby slave owners who feared a revolt if slaves heard the message of freedom in the Gospel. Hundreds of converted slaves not only were denied water baptism by their masters but also were forbidden to ...

Waxing Old, like a Garment
2007-02-14 00:41:00
"Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed. But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end" (Psalm 102:25-27). This remarkable passage, quoted also in Hebrews 1:10-12, anticipates the famous second law of thermodynamics, or law of entropy, indicating that everything in the physical universe is growing old and wearing out. God created everything in the beginning, winding it up like a great clock, so to speak. Because of sin and the curse, however, it has been running down and "perishing" ever since. Jesus also said: "Heaven and earth shall pass away" (literally, "are passing away") (Matthew 24:35). This universal scientific law is also anticipated in Isaiah 51:6: ". . . the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner." That is, the...
