Methodist leader equates U.S. flag to swastika!

This is another sad example of our leadership. It makes me sad to think that a percentage of my tithes and offerings are then apportioned to leaders like this.

Woman minister re-appointed – as a man

It still amazes me that we have leader in our denomination who follow the teachings of men before the teachings of God. I guess our leaders will have to deal with this again in 08 at general conference. I guess we need to pray hard that a true Wesleyan Revival would take place.

I often wonder what John Wesley would think of our denomination if he was alive today. I think he would truly be sad and disappointed.

'We must fine you because you're a Christian'

I've found another article where Christians are under attack. I know when I read of these stories, it makes be very thankful to live in the USA where we do have freedom to worship God.

Magnum Trains Bump into Each Other!

Magnum is a great ride, and the train is going very slow at the station. It's a good thing it wasn't Millenium Force, because it's still "flying" at the end of that ride. That would have been ugly.

Saudis arrest Christian for entering Mecca | Jerusalem Post

Wow, it's illegal for a "Christian" to even be in Mecca!!! Maybe the US should become more like our "Saudi" Allies and not allow muslims in our cities. I also read online where about 25% of young muslims living here in the USA believe that suicide bombings to defend their faith is OK.

Pastor Lowell's Sermon 5/13/2007

The Enemy of Intimacy

Points to Ponder:

Busyness causes us to get DISTRACTED (OFF TRACK) from what is really important.

Busyness causes us to lose PERSPECTIVE.

Luke 10:38-42

At the Home of Martha and Mary

38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"

41 "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

1. There's a big difference between what's URGENT and what's IMPORTANT.

2. There's a difference between whats GOOD and what's BEST.

3. ACTIVITIES should never take priority over PEOPLE.

4. A lot of what we do in life may be MEASURABLE in the short run, but it's neither measurable nor MEMORABLE in the long run.

5. Our busyness is probably DRIVEN by something we aren't even AWARE of.
