Christian Carnival 283
Welcome to the 283rd Christian Carnival for July 1st, 2009. I always enjoy hosting, as it is one of the few times I make time to read all of the posts from the Carnival. And wow . . . there are a lot of posts today. They are presented in, more or less, the order in which I received them, however there is one significant running theme I saw through several posts, and I hope you take the time to consider it. It seems this week that many people are dealing with how we, as Christians, should partake of, and ...

The Era of Mega-Preachers is Over.
I've been noticing the trend lately, amongst the charismatic/pentecostal circles to focus on something our movement has ignored for quite some time: service. Full Gospel denominations and movements have had their voices overshadowed, intentionally or not, by the mega-preachers. The Benny Hinns, Creflo Dollars, Joyce Meyers, and (God help us) the Joel Osteens of the world. I'm calling it today, and we'll reconvene in a few years to see how right I am (Hint: very). While we'll probably see Benny's giant hair, Joyce Meyers man-pants, and Joel Osteen's impossibly large teeth for on TV for quite some time, I believe ...

I think I’m turning into a hermitRecently I’ve had an epiphany about myself: I hate people. I’ve never been much of a people person, but lately it’s reaching the point where I don’t merely prefer just to be alone, I also want the lot of humanity to be dropped into a supersized vat of boiling vegetable oil. Almost everyone these days (except for a select few)... [Read more of this review]
Where Are All the Kids Going?I recently read a great article at the Christian Post relating the findings of a survey studying how many young people we’re losing from our churches, and the possible reasons behind it. I have to say, I agree mostly with what is being said, but I think they only skim across some of the most important issues. Things that a survey may not be... [Read more of this review]
what the church should be doing47 years ago prayer was taken out of schools. And the christians did nothing to stop it. As a christian nation we should oppose such things, and the christian community has not been doing a good job. As scary as it is, it reminds me of the jew’s during the Holocaust. They could have over taken the natzi’s but did not, because they didn’t... [Read more of this review]
in the news nowIn the news now, you will see nothing about soliders sacrificing for us, innocent children dying for no reason, or even the scandal about Pepsi cola company. In the news now, you will see all the information playing out on the tragic and unexpected death of pop icon Micheal Jackson. Long forgotten are the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Ed Macman. While...

A solider mentalityRecently, at my church we have been discussing, helping other people get the breakthrough. And what happens when we don’t. When we choose not to pray for that person, because we don’t like them, or don’t feel like it. God revealed to me like NEVER before what a solider mentality is, and how doing that is the COMPLETE opposite. We all... [Read more of this review]
It’s my blog and I’ll rant if I want to!You know, I have to love those visitors that come to my blog and proceed to dictate to me what I can or can’t blog about, just because they can’t abide by a contrarian viewpoint. I had one dweebhead who got all huffy about my Harry Potter post and starts pontificating about how I have such a small mind and if I didn’t like people... [Read more of this review]
statisticsSome interesting devastating abortion statistics. there are 4000 abortions a day 4000 lives lost in the war against abortion 98% of abortions are personal choice, unwanted or inconvenient tell somebody that next time they say “medical reasons”! .3% of all abortions are rape/incest so don’t going throwing out that argument 50% of all...

Living without a buffer!When a guy lives with his parents for so… very… agonizingly… long… he tends to take certain things for granted. While I contributed to paying for most of the rent and bills, Mommy would always pretty much take care of the rest. All those basic necessities of life (like toilet paper) would magically replenish itself so I never... [Read more of this review]
When does yearning turn into dweebish neediness?As I chat and connect with more and more people online (read: hot babes), there are times when I sorely miss talking to someone and I have to consciously make an effort not to barrage them with IMs, emails, texts, phone calls and whatnot just to get some attention. I guess it’s normal for me to yearn for female companionship and friendship, but... [Read more of this review]
My muse! My muse! Where is my muse??I checked my stats for last month and I only blogged two posts for the entire month of May. TWO posts. Yeah, I probably should blog more frequently than that if I’m to get more traffic and achieve my dream of being a full time blogger who lives off the love and affection of his adoring audience. Part of the reason for the lack of posts is... [Read more of this review]
