“A Supreme Race?”……………By Willie Cripps

Recently Willie Cripps of Jena, LA interestingly enough (REMEMBER JENA 6) was challenged that the African-American was an inferior race according to a quote by Abraham Lincoln. Here is Willie’s response:

Can Abraham Lincoln be consider as a TRUE PROPHET of God? His evaluation of the Black Race has proven to be completely wrong.

Did you know that the first Black girl to attend Arcadia High School
was the Valdictorian of her class? Since Abraham Lincon’s time, the
Black Race has made tremendous progress. That leads me to think
that their inferior position in Lincoln’s time was not due to genetics, but
due to environment. If this is correct, then we owe it to them, and to any
other inferior group, to give them a hand. I very strongly believe in the
Bible principle that it is more blessed to give than it is to recieve.

There are 2 major seas in Israel. The sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea.
The first is a center of much life. The other is the center of dark death.
The strange thing is that both seas receive water from the same source;
the Jordan river. What then causes one to be the center of life while the
other is death? It’s very simple! The first gives away all that it
receives while the second keeps all that it recieves.

There is nothing greater in all the world than to receive God’s love and
then pass it on. In fact, if you are receiving God’s love by the tons, you
will never have any problem passing it on to others, reguardless of their
race or background. As with all giving, it depends on the receiving of
the giver. Anybody who is receiving more love than their vessel can
contain, it will automatically spill over to others.

Grace And Peace Willie Cripps

“I have a right to my opinion.” I’m sure you have heard these words before. You may have even spoken them. I can remember both hearing them and saying them and usually, this particular phrase surfaces when we find someone disagreeing with us. The statement is entirely true - You and I both have a right to our opinion. One may ask, “Does having a right necessarily make one right?” Continue reading ‘You Are Entitled To Fight, But You Are Worthy Of Peace…………….By Marquis Hunt’

“But Go And Learn What That Means”

From the book THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD
By Thomas Kissinger tkissinger01@cox.net
Home Page: http://www.hearingthetruthofgod.com/

-Matthew 9:12, 13 states … Jesus said unto them (the Pharisees), They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go and learn what that means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am come not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance …-In these verses of scripture, we find Jesus in one of His many disputes with the Pharisees. They were always ready to argue and to point the finger at the publicans and the sinners. So … How did Jesus respond? What did He do?

-Jesus exposed the Pharisees for what and who they were. They were, and are, and do represent: Someone who has knowledge of the scriptures, BUT DOES NOT KNOW OR UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY MEAN. The Pharisee spirit claims to know God, but DOES NOT KNOW GOD. It is one of intellect and self-righteousness, which depends totally on the carnal mind for its interpretation of scripture. Many people live in a world of quoting scriptures, BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE SCRIPTURES MEAN. The Pharisees were masters at quoting the scriptures, but they were babes in their understanding of them.

-Let us HUMBLE OURSELVES in asking God to show us what the Holy Scriptures mean. For without the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him (God), we can only hope to become a fine tuned and polished PHARISEE! ARE YOU WILLING TO GO ON A JOURNEY TO FIND OUT WHAT THE WORDS OF THE BIBLE REALLY MEAN? It is important to know the words of the Lord, BUT IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN!

-GO AND LEARN WHAT THEY MEAN!-

UNIVERSALISM……”LOOKING AT THE MENU”

International Taste Test of Universalism By Mark Eaton
I used to live in a small town called Russellville, Arkansas. The restaurants there were few and far between. Both of them were café’s, or little hamburger joints. For instance, if you want a hamburger, or fried chicken; you go to the same place. They had two pasta restaurants and yet one was known for there philly cheese steak and the other for cajun? When I moved to Dallas, Texas I was in shock. I could go to a pizza place that had real imported cheese; or I could to a little place that has authentic philly cheese steaks. The real challenge is that authentic food usually has the real names like ‘calizones’ or ‘chicken alfredo’. The other day I was in a real well known place and ordered alfredo sauce. When I got it, it tasted different. He said most alfredo is done the American Way, and not authentic. What is the one thing I had to overcome to eat the best food I had ever eaten? I had to Move Beyond Terminology. Continue reading ‘UNIVERSALISM……”LOOKING AT THE MENU”’

Meet Dennis Caldwell of Paragould, Arkansas

Dennis CaldwellThe first time I met this guy, I was in the foothills of the Ozarks. He was riding his motorcylcle. Since we have become close friends. Check out his new website (www.completerestorationinchrist.com). The following is a ‘Good Confession’ that Dennis wrote that you might want to start your day off with each morning. “God is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, all-loving, altogether Righteous, God is not a respecter of persons, and His judgments make us learn righteousness. God is Love, always giving, His mercy never ends. All good things come from Him and even the bad are not out of his control. God does not keep his anger forever, Loves even His enemies. God will overcome all evil with good. Even his correction is in his red-hot love and passion for our perfection to become like Jesus who is the perfect representation of his nature and ways. God is always good to all, He never changes, and He never makes a mistake, or is out-witted or overpowered by anyone or anything. God never loses. God knows the beginning to the end and He works ALL things out in accordance with his will and desire and pleasure. And in this working out of His plan; God is good to all; all the time. We can just trust Him for all of each day’s needs and concerns, and put them in His great, awesome loving hands, His “Power through grace” is sufficient for our weakness, sickness, sin and needs which are all turned into blessings. Jesus took all that on himself and overcame it all,for us all, and now is working in us all and through us all, this way that we shall all overcome; through sharing in His victory over sin, the flesh, the devil, and death. As He works out his salvation in each of us; everyone in their own order. Praise God The Father in Christ Jesus The Son by The Holy Spirit, it is so, Amen!”

“And if you love them that love you, what think ye?”…….By Mark Eaton

I was pondering Luke 6:32 this morning.

“And ye love them which love you, what think ye? For sinners also love those that love them.”

If I am only reaching out to those who I have already reached out to; is this the True Love of the Father? Hardly not! I believe that if we all sound the same, have the same doctrine, and only embrace those who we feel comfortable with….THIS IS NOT TRUE LOVE. Later in the passage it says, God is kind to the unthankful and to the wicked. What? Kindness is hardly the word to describe the so-called Christian today’s response to those who don’t believe the way they do.

Get passionate about reaching outside your sphere of influence or comfort zone! If my “Fellowship” is based on being comfortable, or you must fit my “Creed”….. or how about this one, “If your are not to far out there.” This is a Huge Comfort Zone. When looking in scripture “biblical transition” means often leaving the familar, and walking on new ground.

So again…..(1) If you are fundamentally sound, (2) Your doctrine is correct, (3) And those you fellowship with all believe the same…….HEAR IS JESUS WORDS TO YOU, “WHAT THINK YE?” Sorry, but you have not arrived, when you are in such a comfortable state. Search the scriptures. There is huge difference between “biblical transition” and “being comfortable”. Often, those who are comfortable with you, don’t really hear your heart, and thus only assume you believe like they do.

“As iron sharpens iron, so one sharpens another.” - Proverbs 27:17

Being Uncomfortable,
Mark

Christ Is “IN” A Scythian? What’s A Scythian?………By Dr. Harold Lovelace

Doctor Harold LovelaceFriends–Read the entire chapter of Collosians 3 paying close attention to every word. In verse 11, there are seven groups listed which CHRIST IS ALL, AND IN ALL. But pay close attention to ONE group…..”Scythian” and remember that Christ is ALL and in ALL. Paul has already given a broad list that Christ is in, but this group (Scythian), let’s take a closer look. In the Phillips Bible scythian is translated “savage”. In Taylor Bible it states -“In this new life one’s nationality or race or education or social position is UNIMPORTANT. Such things mean nothing.” In Peloubet’s Bible Dictionary..Scythian is a generalized term for rude, ignorant, and degraded. The name often included all the nomadic tribes, who dwelt mostly north of the Black and Caspian Sea, stretching thence indefinitely into inner Asia and they were regarded by the ancients as standing extremely low in point of intelligence and civilization. Webster’s New World Dictionary states..Scyth-i-a (sith’e-a) ancient region in SE Europe, centered about the north coast of the Black Sea.. Syth-i-a of ancient Scythia, its people, their language, etc. 1. any of a nomadic tribe and war like people who lived in ancient Scythia. 2. their extinct IRANIAN language. So think about it…Paul wrote, that “Christ is in the Greeks (wisdom), the Jews (religion), and on down to this broad category of people; even the uncultured and those in jail (all of this broad range of humanity). Yes, “CHRIST (the One whom is in ALL) is in the lowest level of society. Verse 16 states, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you ‘richly’ in all wisdom.” etc., etc., etc. LORD HELP US TO INCLUDE ALL AS YOU HAVE. May we make this clear to ALL…EXPLICITLY CLEAR!

SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES ARE POWERFUL, ESPECIALLY RELIGIOUS ONES………………………Meet Charles Slagle

Charles SlagleThat is what organizations and people count on when they advertise their products, isn’t it? God advertises what will impart life and hope. The spirit of antichrist advertises what fosters death and despair. Meet CHARLES SLAGLE who is located in the Dallas metroplex. He and his wife Paula are excellent worship leaders with a prophetic-edge. His writing “Absolute Assurance” has revealed the unconditional love of the Father to many. For more of his writings, go to www.siglar.org/slagle/absolute.htm. Charles states, “All advertisements pack subliminal messages designed to unconsciously affect those who receive them.” So let’s look at the subliminal messages of–

ARMINIANISM’S ADVERTISEMENT: You shall love the Lord with the unconditional commitment of all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength–while also remembering–that His commitment to you is conditional on your performance in this lifetime. The subliminal message, therefore, is that you must love God more (with greater commitment) than He loves you.

CALVINISM’S ADVERTISEMENT: You shall love your neighbor (both friend and foe) as yourself–while also remembering–that Unfailing *Holy* Love has “foreordained” from eternity past to consign most of His little neighbors to never-ending fiery torture. The subliminal message, therefore, is that you are to love your neighbors more than God (your Heavenly Father and Role Model) loves them.

UNIVERSALISM’S ADVERTISEMENT: You shall love the Lord with your total being and your neighbor as yourself–while also remembering–that this is not merely a command; it is also a promise. He is committed to love ALL His little neighbors as Himself, so your Heavenly Father and Role Model will hang in there with them until all of them loves as He loves and are holy and happy. The subliminal message, therefore, is that sin MUST perish, so it is futile to continue therein, and that Love Himself NEVER fails, so we can always count on Him even when we cannot count on ourselves.

Which of the above subliminal messages do you think provides the most motivation to turn from sin and to love God and others wholeheartedly? Which one glorifies God more? Which one promotes greater faith and trust in God?

Meet Scott Reichard & “Happy Halloween!”-Luther’s 490th Anniversary

Scott ReichardScoot Reichard is a successful businessman in Champaign, Illinois. He has tremendous insight in the message of reconcilation. He is on my short list of those who really desires to see UR believers network and come together. Although we all may differ on many doctrinal issues, the “Love of God” wins and we all agree on the bottom line-God will be All in All. The following is an email I received from Scott recently. On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted his 95 thesis on the Wittenberg door inviting discussion relative to issues of Hell and Grace This Halloween marks the 490th anniversary of this event. For the Bible Gematria lovers, 490 is a very significant number. Instead of forgiving 7 times, Jesus told Peter to forgive 70 X 7 (an obvious reference to the Jubilee of every 49 years). The Jubilee Law of course being the Law of Grace which prophesies of the Restoration of All Things of which Peter, Paul and the Prophets spoke. For inviting discussion, Luther was first ignored, then laughed at, then persecuted and then he wins. Like it or not, that seems to be the progression as Traditions and established religious authorities are presented with Truth.
