The book of Revelation (revealed - unveiling) was written by the beloved disciple John at the instructions of the risen resurrected Jesus in approximately the year 100 AD.. Revelation contains seven letters given from Jesus to the entire Christian Church movement. Letters of instruction and also letters of encouragement. Did you know that all of the Apostles of Jesus died a martyrs death except for the disciple John and that according to early Church tradition the Roman government had likewise tried to kill John by boiling him in oil yet God delivered him and did not allow John to be hurt therefore the Roman government banished John to a small island named "Patmos" and it was there at this prison island of Patmos that the disciple John again saw the resurrected Jesus and wrote the things Jesus instructed John to write giving us "The Revelation of Jesus Christ" the Bibles' last book. The book of Revelation describes in vivid detail the final events of the earth and of mankind prior to the glorious return of Jesus. Amazingly the book of Revelation is so accurate and so relevant to today that reading the ancient book of Revelation is like reading the newspaper of today. http://server.firefighters.org/kjv/projects/firefighters/kjv_web/html/sermons.htm Jesus Walk Devotion Wednesday, June 25, 2008 13:50 GMT / Created by RSS2PDF.com Page 1 of 157 Jesus Walk proving the Leadership of Jesus Christ in that during the many Passion - Holy Week events the events didn't just happen to Jesus but in actuality Jesus happened to the events. http://www.basicchristian.org/jesuswalk.html Daily Encouragement Net Christian Podcast (Mp3-Pod-Download) {Right-Click on POD Icon} Encouraging followers of Jesus Christ each weekday with hope and encouragement from the Bible since 1996. 5-10 min each.

Do I think he is a liar? Do I think he is a provincial and poorly informed scion of a privileged family? Do I think he embarrasses our country by mangling the English language? Do I think he has placed unnecessary and unproductive restrictions on our liberties? Do I think his promise of a more "compassionate conservatism" was merely an election-year slogan? Do I think he is an incompetent manager of our affairs of State? The answer to all of the above is either "No" or "We don't know yet". But the more I pondered the question, the stronger grew one overwhelming feeling: Profound disappointment. ... It is much too early to write the history of the Bush years. But, regardless of how our Iraq adventure ends, my guess is that the Bush presidency will be remembered as one that left us divided, diverted, and uncertain of our country's future and its role in the world. It will take a {Christian} generation of yet-unknown leadership to bring us together. That's why I'm disappointed. That's why I feel such a deep sense of sadness and loss for our president. http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_william__060102_bush_at_year_end.htm Should George Bush be impeached and removed from office?

The Nuremberg trials, exposing the horrible Nazi war crimes, revealed that Germany's trend toward atrocity began with their progressive embrace of the Hegelian doctrine of "rational utility," where an individual's worth is in relation to their contribution to the state, rather than determined in light of traditional moral, ethical and religious values. ... http://www.orthodoxytoday.org/articles5/FedererSchiavo.php #3 DC Sniper John Allen Mohammed is force fed after going on hunger strike because he was "upset with the food" in prison A US judge has allowed officials to forcibly feed convicted Washington-area sniper John Allen Muhammad, who went on a hunger strike four days ago.

"I think there is a view around that practising Christianity and all the symbols that go with it embarrasses people of other faiths and of course that's nonsense," he told GMTV's Sunday Programme. ... Lord Carey, who retired as head of the Anglican Church in 2002, said that Christians should be more explicit about their faith and proud of the Cross. "We must avoid the kind of political correctness that is creeping in and undermining the public expression of the Christian faith. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0%2C%2C2-1939710%2C00.html #14 'The Sweet Life' Former Avalon Singer Offers Her Testimony "I had a 10-year relationship that had gone really sour," says Christian singer Cherie Adams, formerly of the group Avalon. "We were like high school sweethearts, and I went from seeing him every day to never seeing each other again." "I was physically sick. I thought about killing myself. Then one day my mother was bugging me to go to church and I said, 'I don't know why I'm going to bother because God doesn't love me anymore. He doesn't know me." But Adams went and says her life was forever altered by this single service. Today, Adams travels the country, singing songs, talking about her experiences as a platinum-selling artist in the music business and her life as a Christian, and giving support to other women who have been through similar hardships. http://dnj.midsouthnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050825/LIFESTYLE/508250301/1024 #15 Life & Times of Jesus Audio Series Parts 1-16 (Mp3) Pastor Jack Hibbs is the pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills.

Cyber sermons are catching on with a religious audience who are on the run, torn between worship and work. ... Religion appears to be the fastest growing segment of the podcast community, and Patchett believes this is based on word of mouth. "As Christians, we are called to take what we have -- the information we have about our religion -- and share it with others, so there's a call out there to spread that information. Podcasting is one of the easiest ways to do it," he said. ... Now, terms like "Godcasting," "iGod," and "pod preachers" are circulating on the Internet, in a case of religion embracing technology -- that fits in a pocket. http://edition.cnn.com/2005/TECH/12/27/spark.godcasting/ #22 Worship Music Various Artists (Mp3s) Wednesday, June 25, 2008 13:50 GMT / Created by RSS2PDF.com Page 6 of 157 Free Mp3 worship music downloads. http://www.firefighters.org/html/worship_music.cfm #23 Daily Encouragement Net Christian Podcast (Mp3-Pod-Download) {Right-Click on POD Icon} Encouraging followers of Jesus Christ each weekday with hope and encouragement from the Bible since 1996. 5-10 min each.

No poet's fancy has spun from out his imagination a more glorious tale, or pictured in glowing words an epic of heroic love and transcendent valour, to compete with the actual reality of the career of this simple village maiden of old France: she who, almost unassisted and alone, through her intense love of her native land and deep pity for the woes of her people, was enabled, when the day of action at length arrived, to triumph over unnumbered obstacles, and, in spite of all opposition, ridicule, and contumely, to fulfil her glorious mission. http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/16933 #29 The Bible Period by Period by Josiah Blake Tidwell (Text - Download) A MANUAL For the Study of the Bible by Periods, by J.

Born with a body thatfrom her earliest childhood was racked with pain, deprived by ill health ofeducation, she seemed naturally unfitted to fill any place in the world anddoomed to be only a burden to herself and her friends.

Why, in the last few years, have Christians become more vocal against those that would secularize this nation and who have been on a campaign to literally erase not only God and Christianity but even the mere mention of all religion from our nation? ... Rather, it's an eerie feeling in the pit of most Christian's stomachs that, if left alone, we are yet one step closer to a fate far worse than political correctness. We are one step closer to communism. ... For Communism to thrive, their members know and teach that they must first smash all religious groups: Just as in Russia we [they] had to destroy, after many, many years of most arduous work, the Church, so we must destroy all faiths in nations marked for conquest. We have battled in America since the century's turn to bring to nothing any and all Christian influences and we are succeeding. You must work until "religion" is synonymous with "insanity." You must work until the officials of city, county and state governments will not think twice before they pounce upon religious groups as public enemies. http://commonsenseamerica.blogspot.com/2005/12/we-fight-because-alternative-is.html #36 Debbie Schlussel - Bio DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL: Conservative political commentator, radio talk show host, columnist, and attorney. ..

Research reverses the thought that teen depression leads to risky behaviors. Nearly every discussion about sexual education focuses on preventing sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy.

Taking her act one step further, this morning she appeared on a suburban street . . . paddling a canoe. There was one small problem. Just as the segment came on the air, two men waded in front of Kosinki . . . and the water barely covered their shoe tops! That's right, Kosinski's canoe was in no more than four to six inches of water! An embarrassed Kosinski claimed the water was deeper down the street but that her producers didn't want to let her go there for fear she'd drift away. But Katie and Matt, perhaps peeved by her attempted scene-stealing, couldn't resist ribbing her. Matt: "Are these holy men, perhaps walking on top of the water?" "Gee, is your oar hitting ground, Michelle?" inquired Katie, as she and Matt dissolved into laughter. http://newsbusters.org/node/2199 #40 Israel and the US - A God-ordained alliance? Part I: When God brought about the independence of the United States in 1776, He was supervising the founding of a nation He purposed to have in place about two centuries later as the world's mightiest superpower. And His reason for elevating America to this position was so that she would ally herself with the surviving remnant of the Jewish people, help them take root again in their national homeland, and support them in their struggle against a hostile world. http://www.jnewswire.com/library/article.php?articleid=801 #41 INTERESTING STATISTICS ABOUT ISRAEL The Middle East The Middle East has been growing date palms for centuries.
