$400,000 million ?! and what do they want to find? WATER ! One of the most common things of all. Comets often have massive chunks of ice. Rings around planets sometimes have ice everywhere. So they want to find water on Mars to tell us our future? What a bunch of dips. If they find water, I demand at least a new flavor of TANG ! |

It should also be added, that if Mr. Graham had to use an interpreter, he didn't do any preaching or very little, but the interpreter did. Jim, has God ever prompted you to speak through an interpreter? He has, on occasion, done so with me (on a very small scale.) It is actually quite a good thing. First of all, the non-native speaker is humbled, as he shares the platform, and it acknowledges that we are not the center of attention, as both are testifying to God and not themselves. We cannot always share what we want to as our language might be limited. So sure it is good to have the nationals speak out themselves to their own people, but side-by-side is also respected in Asian cultures. I have seen God use it often. Humility is the key, and following God's prompting and staying to a message of grace through glorifying Jesus Christ. I still study and speak in the foreign language when I can, but when it is difficult topics, I have to humble myself and use interpreters. |

I was just in Yangon City for 5 days last February. The natural beauty of the area is now entirely changed, according to my host, a young pastor of an orphanage. Prayer answer: none of the Christians I met there are reported dead, as well as our loan missionary in the city. So praise God for protecting the young Christians. However, in the place they were going to plant a church, 3 houses are gone. I saw that area, and knew they would lose some of their houses-shacks. The orphanage had cement walls and a gate around it, so as far as I know those I personally love and adopted as forever family are safe. Yet there is danger from coming diseases, and food is in need. The young Pastor Sanga is taking food to the area of the shack houses. Pray for his safety. He also had his own wedding planned for the day of the cyclone (Saturday.) Instead of 220 people, they just had the wedding at the orphanage, with family members and some pastors and local neighbors. No honeymoon, but they will rejoice and weep with serving their neighbors. Please continue to pray. Today is the first day that e-mail service returned. However, phone lines are still down, and water is scarce. Prices are doubled throughout the city because delivery is so difficult. Please pray at your homes and churches. |

So what are all of YOU ---who condemn the multitudes for reading the NIV, ESV, NASB, HCSB, (basically, the anything besides the KJV)--- going to do WHEN YOU SEE John Piper and many in heaven ? YOU GONNA tell JESUS TO KICK US OUT ? I think you need to ask the Holy Spirit to spank you now, and then go out and help the poor, and feed the hungry, and serve the sick and disabled, and love your brothers and sisters in Christ regardless of which translation of the Bible we read. Don't just be hearers, but doers of the word. Most people do support the KJV, it is just that we also choose to read other versions as well(provided our native language is English). |

DrJohn wrote: I wonder what version he is reading. I searched the Sermon on the Mount and in chapter 5 verses 31 & 32 I find the wife referred to as "his wife" and as "her." And Romans chapter 1 verse 27 clearly (not obscurely) refers to relations between men as "error." I will wait for him to explain his stance with chapter and verse, but in the meantime I will consider that he has not read the Bible and that he is wrong. Perhaps we should send him a copy of the KJV New Testament. Your right, Dr. John, but send him a whole NKJV, a MacArthur NASB study Bible, and an HCSB New Testament, and an ESV to make sure he understands it whichever translation he might choose. I voted for Huckabee |

JHawk and Neil: You can do it ! We took a bunch of Japanese, some Christian, and some not yet Christian. They flew in from a town near Mt. Fuji. They loved it. Jason Lisle is my hero ! You can too visit, it's just a matter of will, and your church could help sponsor the trip. I got materials to use back in Japan, (too bad they were only in English language) and the one who said to plan a whole day is RIGHT ON. You need a whole day - there is a nice wooded picnic area to bring your lunch and eat it there, and a few nice snack and lunch places that sell food inside the museum. The people all over the world are coming to this museum. I'm back in Japan, but have great memories, and hope to go again the next time I am in Ohio and Kentucky - the home of Bill Cunningham Hey! a comment group who are not attacking each other! Wow ! Is Christian love finally working? |

The more the evidence, the more creation stands out as obvious. It is clear to the conscience of mankind, yet is suppressed by a fallen nature that denies God who created us all. Don't give up, just keep praying that the Holy Spirit will open eyes and hearts. There are many excellent creation messages on Sermon Audio, and also at Answers in Genesis. |

My absentee ballot is on the way, and I am voting for Mike Huckabee in the Republican primary. Many missionaries are as well. It is great to have a real Christian running for president, even if he is not a 6-day creationist like many of us. Nobody is perfect except Jesus. I did not know Rick Warren was a Baptist. Well, may our nation turn to Christ, and repent, even if all the commentaries on Sermon audio only criticize all the news all the time and can never find anything good about any public figure. Hey everyone, Jesus was a man of sorrows who rebuked the Pharasees, but he also loved them, ate with them, and took the time to invite them to the cross as well as the poor, the tax collectors, etc. So let us shine our light of Jesus and win the world for Christ!! |

Great Sermon! It is great to hear the teaching that many translations use dynamic equivilence. To have a variety of translations with varying degrees of literalness and dynamic renderings is a tool that many modern countries have today. It is useful, as people will still use the excuse, "I can't understand the Bible" and yet with all of today's helps, we should study to show ourselves approved ! |

No matter what is said, if it varies in the smallest degree from what is rightly or wrongly perceived as Calvinism, it brings about the "Arminian" designation. I would suggest this shows a lack of thinking, and more of an automated knee-jerk response. The question is, does truth require a label to justify it? Are Calvinism or Arminianism synonyms for truth? I hope no one would say yes to either.[/QUOTE]You are so right, Mike in New York. Actually, many here are biblical missionaries, but do not 100% lean toward any historical ism. Those who are in the church take the isms for what they are - history and views that have only partly shaped our thinking, as we all have a Bible to read for ourselves. So we don't "throw out the baby, NOR the bathwater." We Mikes think alike! |
