First, two of my relatives were diagnosed with and lost the fight to cancer. One was my step-grandfather who was over 70, the other was an aunt that was in her 40's. Both smoked. Both died within ... http://www.achristianblog.com/2006/01/a-christian-blog-update/ Sorry for the flood of posts today, but that's just my writing style. When I have something to write about, I'll post it, when I don't, I'm not going to just blog to make things look busy. Anyway, over at Broken Messenger, there is a long post about ... http://www.achristianblog.com/2005/11/joel-osteen-on-larry-king-live/ Just an addendum to the post earlier to today. I found this daily devotional from iEQUIP.com (John Maxwell's organization) to be particularly fitting also. When looking at a leader like Pat Robertson, you should also question whether they should be followed. The list included in this devotional ... http://www.achristianblog.com/2005/11/pat-robertson-2/ Pat Robertson is all over the news again. I don't ever watch the 700 Club, but it makes me think that Marguerite does (Trading Spouses). MSNBC reported "Conservative Christian televangelist Pat Robertson told citizens of a Pennsylvania town that they had rejected God by voting their school board ... http://www.achristianblog.com/2005/11/pat-robertson-at-it-again/ Did anyone see this program last night?

The two families, as usual, couldn't be more different. ____________________________ From ... http://www.achristianblog.com/2005/11/trading-spouses-goes-christian/ This will most likely be a weekly part of this blog where I, oddly enough, ask you to go elsewhere to read other's opinions about differing subjects. If a good post is made somewhere, I definitely want to recognize it. So much more than a bowl of candy The World is ... http://www.achristianblog.com/2005/11/blog-connection-materialism/ Luke 14:7And He began speaking a parable to the invited guests when He noticed how they had been picking out the places of honor at the table, saying to them, 8"When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for someone more ... http://www.achristianblog.com/2005/10/parable-of-the-guests/ Luke 6:42"Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you ... http://www.achristianblog.com/2005/10/being-proactive/ I've spent a good portion of the night surfing through many Christian blogs. I was surprised to find that there are many blogs out there that have set up an online ministry. It seems as though everyone is a Billy Graham as soon as they get a blog. ... http://www.achristianblog.com/2005/10/christian-blogs/ As any Southern Baptist probably knows, once saved, always saved. Those that go back to their sinful ways are just "backsliding". I guess that can somewhat define my blog for moment (not the sinning part, just the backsliding).
