The Word "Enough" is an enemy of the Gospel

Good post from JD Greear on doing "enough" and the Gospel.

This looks like it will be a quality production.

Political Quiz

Here is a one minute political quiz that might help you know what to call yourself politically.

I think it pegged me as Centrist.

HEMA Webpage

I love this website but I guess if all companies had sites like this people would never leave the internet.

Go to the page and wait about 5 seconds.

You've Been Left Behind

We have set up a system to send documents by the email, to the addresses you provide, 6 days after the "Rapture" of the Church. This occurs when 3 of our 5 team members scattered around the U.S fail to log in over a 3 day period. Another 3 days are given to fail safe any false triggering of the system.
We give you 150mb of encrypted storage that can be sent to 12 possible email addresses, in Box #1. You up load any documents and choose which documents go to who. You can edit these documents at any time and change the addresses they will be sent to as needed. Box #1 is for your personal private letters to your closest lost friends and relatives.
We give you another 100mb. of unencrypted storage that can be sent to up to 50 email addresses, in Box #2. You can edit the documents and the addresses any time. Box #2 is for more generic documents to lost family & friends.
The cost is $40 for the first year. Re-subscription will be reduced as the number of subscribers increases. Tell your friends about You've Been left behind.

I think this is for real.

Thanks Jeremy T.

Eternal Earth Bound Pets

You've committed your life to Jesus. You know you're saved. But when the Rapture comes what's to become of your loving pets who are left behind? Eternal Earth-Bound Pets takes that burden off your mind.

Wow..

Jesus Wants the Rose

If you have never heard Matt Chandler tell this story, you should. It reminds me of some of the sermons I have sat through over the years that made me want to just SCREAM!

Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan

I have heard about Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan all of my life but I have never seen an actual film of them. Here is a rare Newsreel of Anne showing how she taught Helen how to speak.

I Love My Community Group!

Hope puts in to words some of the same feelings I have about our Community Group, only she says it a lot better than I could.

Stephen and Brooke

In God's grace He has allowed my wife Dail and I to become a part of a great church plant in Winston Salem NC. This would not have been possible without God giving Stephen Wagoner the vision and passion to replant this church. We are thankful!

Here is a link to an article about Stephen and Brooke from Acts 29. This is also the first time I have ever seen him in a tie!

Tim Challies has an interesting interview with one of the original "Backstreet Boys".

The Gospel in 6 Minutes

I have probably seen this 10 times or more. It is still good.

New iMac!

Okay, I have been on sort of a blogging pause while I try to figure out how to use this new iMac of mine. All these years on a PC have handicapped me.

Monergism.com

Monergism is revamping it's design. If you are not familiar with this website you should check it out. The amount of information compiled on this site is incredible. Monergism has been one of the most influential websites in my Christian journey.

Shaken but not Stirred

"After ‘‘sheepgate’’ the pastor asked us to close our eyes and bow our heads. He urged people who had left Jesus, had never had him in their heart, or were confused, to raise their hands so they could be prayed for.

He sounded like a real estate agent. "One over there, thank you, sir. Anyone else? I’ll wait a few moments. Yes, one down the back." Dummy bidders anyone? Then bewildered-looking new disciples were led out by the old hands.

The crowd left believing they had been moved by God and touched by Jesus. They hadn’t. They had been seduced by slick video packages and had their emotional desire for love, community and certainty met by manipulation. It wasn’t the Holy Spirit; it was just people."

Here is the rest of the article.

Something to think about from Josh Harris.

The Salvation Challenge Game

Salvation Challenge 2 - 6 players: Each player has $1,000,000 in kingdom cash. The players must get saved by landing on the Calvary square. Then the players enter a race to give away $1,000,000 to missionaries who advance God's kingdom. The winner is the first player to give away all of their cash!

Here is a link to the website and the promo video.

Mark Driscoll and the Gospel

Love is an Ocean

"But the thing about life-pouring is that, if you are doing it from the right place, you're not emptying yourself at all.

Sit down. Actively listen. Close your eyes. Open them wide. Breathe in the stench. Hold a hand. Take a picture. Expect nothing. Be grateful in everything."

Here is the rest of the post from 6YearMed.

Bibles

Do we have enough different types of Bibles available yet to make us that "Christian Nation" we always hear about? I noticed Zondervan has 231 different types of NIV Bibles and Christian Book.com has 311 different types of Children's Bibles to get us started.

Christian Car Stuff

Do car magnets and air fresheners and flags indicate whether the driver is a Christian or not?

Bible Covers

Does the type of Bible Cover or lack of Bible Cover a person has indicate whether or not that person is a Christian?

Two Blogs!

Two Blogs! You have got to be kidding me! I don't know if I can think up or find enough interesting things for two blogs but I am going to try for a while. I have noticed that some people have 4 or 5 for some reason. I can not see me trying to do any more than this.
This blog was named after the power of my reading glasses. I am severely handicapped without my reading glasses and have found that the older I get the higher power I need to see clearly. I have also found that the older I get the Higher Power I need to see clearly.
I hope you find something here that is helpful.
