Radioactive Telephones?

Hi. You have reached the Fanugarties delicatessen, there is no one to answer your call right now but if you leave a message at the sound of the beep, we'll get back to you as soon as possible. "High, this is George and I'm a Jewish painter and I need to speak to the owner of the house..um sorry business. I received a call that there was work to be done and someone gave me your number. Is there a George that works there? Well um, you can call me back at 555-5555. I'm usually available in the afternoons and would love to refresh the place with a fresh coat of paint. Thanks, bye." Jerry the supervisor receives the message.

"George, we got a call from a painter who says he knows you and wants to do some work in our restaurant. What do you say?" George, who is totally unconscious at this point wakes up from his daydream, and slowly walks out the business (never to return). At this point a man walks into the delicatessen. "May I have some hash browns and a cherry soda please?" says the man. Jerry's assistant behind the counter looks up at him and says, "Welcome to the most reasonably priced deli in south Hampton, where your wish is our delight. Hash browns and a cherry soda coming right up!" As the man receives his food, he notices a delightful man who happened to sneak in behind him, very casually. "Excuse me sir." says the man, "did you just see that!" There was a flock of birds who just flew into the store and started to eat away at the paint on the walls. In minutes the entire store was destroyed, except for the place where George was day dreaming a few minute earlier.

The Jewish painter walks into the store. "Can I see a man named George?" "Purely for business purposes I assume" says Jerry. The Jewish painter notices that that store is under attack by a flock of Canadian Geese, and takes out his paintbrush and waves it in the air and says some kind of prayer and the birds leave the store. Just then George the man who was gone forever comes back into the store and realises that he left the door of the store open, as a Big red truck that was passing by carrying wild bird to the zoo, took a hard turn on the street before the deli which thew open the back door of the truck to release all the wild animals including the birds, which have ravished the store. Moral of the story, when a Jewish painter calls your house, make sure you answer the phone. The picture in this blog is not of me, it is the lead singer of the band "radiohead." I got the picture of Thomas York from a google search. I love radiohead.

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

  Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

The Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

  “Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17).   Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
