I see the Road to Damascus...and yes I have seen what the media
is saying but I am putting my trust in Jesus/Yeshua.
On the road to Damascus
1. A supernatural event
2. God spoke in Hebrew to Saul
3. It is hard to kick against the prick
Paul(Saul): his first name was Saul. Both of his parents were
Jews. He was sent to Jerusalem for his education, and became a
very learned and prominent Pharisee. What befell him as he
journeyed to Damascus, is related three times in the Acts, first
by the ...

Dogs have been bred for the purposes of hunting with humans for
centuries. Whether hunting for food or sport, various breeds of
dog have been used to help flush the hunted animals out into the
open, to retrieve downed animals (especially ducks, pheasant,
and other birds), and to sniff out and track animals for the
hunter. It is with these potential duties in mind that a hunting
dog should be chosen.
When choosing a dog for hunting purposes you may want to
evaluate your needs and base the choice ...

The canine distemper virus (CDV) causes a highly contagious
disease in dogs known as distemper. Dogs who contract distemper
suffer damage to their gastrointestinal, central nervous and
respiratory systems. Distemper is incurable and often fatal.
Puppies between the ages of three and six months are most
susceptible to the disease, although older dogs and other
carnivorous mammals can also contract distemper. At one time,
distemper was the leading cause of death among puppies that had
not been ...

Christ and Culture Part 1
The conflict between Christ and culture is not new and neither
is it rare. It is a daily occurrence as the boundaries are
blurred and the culture develops. Christians have been viewed
more often than not as subversive because of a belief that they
are destined for more than just a human destiny. Many times they
have paid a high price for it and continue to do so, from the
early Christian martyrs of Rome to those who refuse to bend
their beliefs to the desires of a ...

...cont. from Christ and Culture Part 1
4. Christ and Culture is in Paradox This view differs from the
preceding option by maintaining that while both Christ and
culture claim our loyalty, the tension between them cannot be
reconciled by any lasting synthesis. Luther maintained that sin
is universal and inside a Christian all of His earthly life,
thereby making it impossible to attempt any kind of utopian
society on earth. I agree that though God has dealt with our
sinful nature in Christ, we ...

The raising of puppies can be an exhilarating and rewarding
experience. It can also be an experience wrought with
frustration if some guidelines aren't adhered to or if certain
aspects of the duty are overlooked. There are a number of things
that you can do for the puppies and their mother to help make
their first days, weeks, and months together healthy and happy
ones.
The mother dog will spend the first few days after giving birth
with her new puppies. It is important to check on the mother ...

My first experience in music ministry happened fairly soon after
I first picked up a guitar at 15 years of age. I knew about 20
chords and could play a few songs from a new songbook titled
Scripture in Song. Fortunately most of the songs were in
guitar-friendly keys.
There were four of us who played guitar in a small country
Baptist church. I know one song we dreaded was "Rise and Shine"
('God said to Noah there's gonna be a floody floody...'). The
chords were simple, but the strumming rhythm ...

Hello! Happy new year. May you live a long healthy life and

depending on charity, welfare, family, or are forced to keep
working past their retirement age.
According to the IRS, 85% of the people reaching age 65 years
don't have even $200 in their bank accounts! US Census Bureau

B>DEPTH PSYCHOLOGY (ARCHETYPES): - "All material bodies are
condensations of frozen bodies." (2) Jung is becoming 'in vogue'
again, I hear. Perhaps this time around it won't just involve so
little real appreciation for all that he meant and understood.
Dream interpretation and projected Western values can be a
Freudian gambit - Jung grew to see things few will ever admit to
in the present ideologies of the West. He was able to contact
the future before the First World War and it almost ...

A while back I was driving along the Jerusalem highway scanning
the radio stations. On one frequency, a very intense dance beat
was exploding out of the speakers. I was about to move the dial
some more in search of a Jewish tune when the vocalist started
in. Shock of shocks, he was a heavily Hassidic singer, complete
with eastern European pronunciation. And what was he singing?
"Kumee oy'ree ki va oy-reich.." from 16th century Rabbi Shlomo
Alkavetz' classic Sabbath poem, L'cha Dodi. Before he ...

The inspiration for this article comes from an Old Testament
story. In this story there is a special building project
undertaken by Solomon. The four stages explained in this article
are the exact same steps illustrated in this story. You will
find that these four concepts will dramatically help you in your
music ministry. You need to take this information and start
creating an overwhelming positive worship experience in your
church's worship service.

The Wind did it
Terry Dashner'''Faith Fellowship Church PO Box 1586 Broken
Arrow, OK 74013
You can't find the wind, but the wind will find you and envelope
you. Why is this true? Do you remember these words? 'The wind
blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot
tell where it comes from or where it is going.' Wind just
happens or does it?
As you know, I have the utmost respect for Dr. D. James Kennedy.
He has written another wonderful book entitled, What if America

A lot of times when I am reading people on the site I notice
people talking about having a "bad reading." By that they
usually mean that the psychic pulled a so-called "bad" cards,
such as the Devil, The Tower of the Ten of Swords, in answer to
their question. First of all, you need to realize that there is
no such thing as a "bad" reading. Usually "bad" means that the
reader pulled cards that don't agree with your idea of what the
desired answer to your question should be. Many of the ...

As an alternative to the traditional channel set wedding and
engagement rings, rings created with a process called tension
setting have started to become popular in recent years. Tension
set wedding rings and engagement rings have a stone (typically a
diamond, although tension setting can be used with any precious
gem) that is set in an opening in the ring itself and held by
tension of the open ends of the ring pressing against the stone.
Jewelers agree that there are both positive and negative ...

It has long been suggested that "music soothes the savage
beast." But is this true? And if it is, does this have any
implication where humans are concerned? The answer, apparently,
is yes. To illustrate this, researchers point to the different
physiological changes that take place within the human body in
response to different sounds and noises. A loud noise that
shatters the silence sets the human heart racing and stimulates
a rush of adrenaline that prepares you for flight. In contrast ...

An important aspect of planning the events and preparations for
your wedding lies in the selection of a photographer. Some
people are intimidated by the concept of arranging for
professional wedding photography because they fear the cost will
be too exorbitant. Professional wedding photography is certainly
not cheap, but it is one of those things in life where the old
adage "you get what you pay for" is certainly true. You can use
an amateur for your wedding photos if you so desire, but ...

There are three things that all wedding receptions must include
to turn out as memorable and successful events. The three "G's"
of good food, good times, and good entertainment will make your
wedding reception into an event enjoyed by all who attend.
Generally taking care of the first and third of these concepts
will guarantee the second. Good food is generally attained by
hiring a competent caterer and not serving okra. Good
entertainment brings with it a number of options and,
unfortunately, ...

I developed a very loyal crew. For example, I went out to Newark
to rebuild a small office. The office had never really taken
off. The previous sales manager had deemed that Newark was
incapable of making any sales.
Because of his attitude, and belief, not only had the
salespeople believed him so did the management that I was
working for. Originally, I was to shut down the office but I
asked for it chance to redeem it.
I knew this was a last ditch effort, and all the salespeople had
