• Something interesting

  Cleveland Pastor Dan Smith mixes rap and religion...

  

  Read all about it- here...

  And visit the church website here.

  Personal opinion: When you're out in the world, it's easy to be diluted and jaded by the influences of the world though you know that you, as the salt and light of the world, need not be of the world- to the extent of treading on a fine, thin line between the moral and immoral.

  "...there are actually only two available sources of supernatural knowledge and power in the universe: either God or Satan." (Derek Prince, "Blessing or Curse: You can Choose!")

  A Christian had come up with the "amoral" theory for Christians to blend in with the world in order to put more flavour into society. The cynic within would ask, "Is the amoral world a place where God and Satan hang out together?"

  Read more from Derek Prince, and you'd realize that the middle way was actually created by God's adversary- for "you do not know her ways"...   

  Won't hurt to check your compass before heading too far sometimes.

  Check out this site as well- Way of the Master. You'd notice someone familiar in this website...

  

  Kirk Cameron at Calvary Baptist Church in Manhattan, May 5, 2007.

  Kirk Cameron is an American actor, director, and Christian evangelist who is perhaps most notable for his role as "Mike Seaver" on the sitcom 'Growing Pains'. Cameron is currently a partner in the evangelical Christian ministry 'The Way of the Master'.

  In his website, Kirk Cameron talks about the "fallaway rate"- that in 100 decisions to follow Christ, there will bound to be 80 to 90 percent of backsliders; and in 294,000 decisions to follow Christ (as found out from a major denomination in the States a few years back), it was discovered that only 14,000 are in fellowship whereas the remaining 280,000 somehow backslided- mostly due to the directions taken by churches that had somehow veered away from the biblical way of presenting the gospel, not because of a lack of follow-up.

  According to Kevin Sites, there are 82 million Americans who are currently using the Net for faith-related reasons- much, much more than the numbers of people using the Internet for online banking and dating. Freaky... Are we all really THAT lost?
