Was America founded on Christian principles?
Patrick Henry: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the gospel of Jesus Christ."
There are many today who would doubt or deny that this is true. There has even been an attempt to cover up and, in some cases, to destroy the legacy of Christian thinking that has gone into the formation of our republic. Yet what were the true thoughts and intentions of the men and women who came before us?
A careful look into the past reveals landmarks which were essential in guiding America along the pathway that led us to where we are today. More often than not, at each one of these landmarks, there also appears irrefutable evidence that a sense of divine destiny accompanied the most important events of our history.
Here in part are some of these landmarks:

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23

Romans 10:9-10,13
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.

Have You Heard About "The GoBible" ???
"No downloads, no software, no computers, just GoBible!"
Here's a really interesting device I ran across the other day that might be of interest to many...The GoBible.The Go bible is a ready to go MP3 player pre-loaded from one of three version of the bibles. Just insert one AAA battery, plug in the earphones, and turn it on. It's that easy.
In no time you'll be listening to Genesis 1. From there you can navigate to any one of 31,000 verses of the Bible. That's right the GoBible is the only audio bible I know of that's gone to the trouble of taking it to that level.
Other special features incorporated into The GoBible, include an index of 200 of the most popular Bible stories, a "Bible in a year" option, and a holiday and events index.
The GoBible is available in:
+ The King James Version is narrated by Alexander Scourby
+ The NKJV is narrated by Stephen Johnston
+ The NIV narrated by Max McLean.
It's reasonably priced at $100 and you can also buy optional gadgets that allow you to listen through your car stereo system or portable speakers.

Verse of the Day
Fetching RSS feed... please stand byGod's Word Should Be The Final Authority
Not all churches teach all of God's truths
It's very important for all Christians to find and attend a local church. But how do we know which church to join?
Many churches preach doctrine that does not align with Scripture therefore it's vital that we find a church that holds to God's Word as final authority, and to reject any teachings that contradicts Scripture.
In the July 2008 issue of "In Touch" magazine Dr. Charles Stanley said, It's critical that believers ask the right questions before joining a fellowship. Namely, learn whether the church teaches these six truths:
1. The Bible is infallible divine revelation given to mankind so that indivduals can have personal relationship with God.
2. Jesus Christ was born of a virgin.
3. Our Savior was fully human and fully God.
4. After His crucifixion and burial, Jesus was bodily resurrected.
5. Heaven and hell exist.
6. Salvation comes only through faith in Jesus.
In addition, a fellowships message should center around redemption, specifically teaching that man is sinful and seperated from God (Romans 3:23). Since we all come short of His glory, our penalty is death (Romans 6:23). Yet the Father redeemed us through His Son's shed blood, saving all who receive Jesus as Savior (John 3:16; 1 Peter 1:18-19).

The Law of Attraction
There is indeed a very powerful law of attraction that's present in the universe and it's the attraction that exists between the Creator and the creation He loves.
The Secret Things of God
A positive Christian alternative to the bestselling The Secret
Dr. Henry Cloud reveals the "secret things of God" - secrets about God, about happiness, about relationships, and about your purpose. These tested spiritual truths reveal principles that make life work.With millions of copies of The Secret in print, countless listeners are left wondering how its teachings fit with the truths found in Scripture. Though many teachings in The Secret may have shocked those of the Christian faith, believers have also been reminded of the deep spiritual hunger that exists in all of us - the desire for a power beyond the human, to work change in our individual lives. Even Christians who know and claim biblical truths often don't know how to use them. Dr Henry Cloud shows listeners how to unlock the treasure of these truths, igniting their power in their lives.

Bible Study Made Much EasierTechnology and the Bible come together in a wonderful way. This free software with its searchable Bibles and Strong's reference Bible leave little to be desired. It even allows you to take and store notes within the software.
Don't let the price fool you this is software you won't want to be without, it's easy to learn and the left hand navigation panel makes finding the exact verse you're looking for a breeze.
A word from the creator of this wonderful software
e-Sword is a fast and effective way to study the Bible. e-Sword is feature rich and user friendly with more capabilities than you would expect in a free software package. The fact that e-Sword is free is just one of the blessings and does not speak of the quality of the software.

The real work, however, was put in by the godly men and women who devoted countless years creating the texts that have been made available for our benefit.
In His service,

- End of Days - The Rapture of Christ's Church
- Christianity isn't a feeling or something to be. It's a way of life. It is giving your life over to God who sacrificed His only Son so that we might not perish. Being a Christian means to have faith and believe without actually seeing.

Movies About Faith and Spirituality
Of Interest to Christians
It's important to remember when viewing these movies that many of them produced by Hollywood are not totally based on biblical truth.
The very best way to discern Gods truth is by reading or listening to his word the Holy Bible.
It's my prayer that these movies will be viewed from a biblical prospective and that the viewer will at least come away from them with a desire to learn more about Gods truths.
One final point. Please keep in mind that not all of the movies listed here are appropriate for all viewers nor do they all express total biblical truth.
- 001- Facing the Giants
This inspirational drama from award-winning producers Alex and Stephen Kendrick combines faith and football in the tale of high school coach Grant Taylor (Alex Kendrick), who rises above failure to create a winning spirit on the field. Taylor faces a losing team, a failing marriage and the possibility of being fired. At the end of his rope, he puts his life in God's hands and, in doing so, finds a stronger purpose and, ultimately, salvation.- 002- Conversations with God
Based on the best-selling autobiographical series by Neale Donald Walsch, this film traces the author's journey from an ever-struggling, hopeless shell of a man to a world-renowned author and spiritual messenger. Lonely, broke and uninspired, Walsch finds himself asking the heavens for answers to his problems. When he begins to hear responses from the God within himself, these answers change his life and become the basis for his first book.- 003- Jeremiah: The Bible
Jeremiah tells the story of the prophet who abandons his family, and also the woman he loves, in order to relay God's message in Jerusalem. Although his warning about the destruction of the Holy City results in him being branded as a traitor and persecuted, he continues fearlessly with his mission. His prophecy comes true and he is forced to experience first hand how Jerusalem is destroyed by the Babylonians and how the inhabitants are taken as prisoners to Babylon.- 004- Solomon: The Bible
King Solomon's ascent -- from mama's boy to a sovereign famous for his wisdom and international coalitions -- is recounted in this two-part, made-for-TV movie. Part 1 depicts the rivalry between Solomon (Ben Cross) and his half-brother, while Part 2 explores the notion that Solomon and the Queen of Sheba (Vivica A. Fox) shared more than just a political partnership. The script interleaves background information to provide a historical framework.- 005- God and Buddha: A Dialogue
In this fascinating and unusual conversation, writer and physician Deepak Chopra talks to religion professor Robert Thurman about the connections and differences between two of India's most important philosophical beliefs: Vedanta and Buddhism. Chopra explores the foundation of Vedanta, while Thurman provides the Buddhist point of view in this meeting held in 1999 at New York City's Tibet House.- Try Netflix free for 14 days
