A couple of years ago, a group of us watched “The Visual Bible” on the Book of Acts (word for word from the NIV Bible) and found it to be helpful. Now they have the Gospel of John (word for word from the Good News Bible).

Jesus Loves Me
The great Swiss-German theologian Karl Barth delivered one of the closing lectures of his life at the University of Chicago Divinity School. At the end of the lecture, the president of the seminary told the audience that Dr. Barth was not well and was very tired, and though he thought Dr. Barth would like to…
The Apostle’s Creed for the New Millennium
Here is the The Apostle’s Creed for the New Millennium that is attributed to Rev. Harry Wendt (might want to go myself or send a couple from BLC to his seminars in November, looks interesting – I like pictures). Back to the Creed! _____________________________________ I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker and Owner of…

On the Edge of Chaos
The Father’s House before the “Resurrection” 3 years ago in 2000 (totally chaotic!) , the two coconut trees were “near-death” are now their bearing fruit indeed! We kept the outside characteristics of the building and re-worked the inside quite a bit. (more pictures later!) “The Key to thriving in such a shifting global climate is…
Brunch Bugs
These two quotes have been bugging me … Read this in Jonathan Campbell’s article “Releasing the Gospel from Western Bondage” “It has become apparent to me that the vast majority of churchgoing Christians in America are heretics.
