[the blue fish project] the blue fish project: SERVANT LEADERSHIP by Sue Hosier: Since the turn of the year I have had the joy of reporting of 5 people turning to Jesus. I have the joy of telling of at least two others.
[Talk To Action] Talk To Action | Violent Video Game Marketed Through Mega-Churches ...: Warren is planting the seeds of a corporate-friendly Christianized state in Rwanda, whose president has vowed that his genocide-torn country will now become the world's first "purpose driven nation." Yet the same management systems and marketing practices could be put to use in any country or corporation where Mr. Warren's mega-church chooses to make inroads.
[SOHH.com] DIRECTOR RIK CORDERO PROVIDES AN EXPLANATION FOR NAS' "BE A | SOHH ...: (Iââ¬âm mostly referring to professors and pseudo-historians that Iââ¬âve had the privilege of knowing.) I was influenced by one educator in particular who could go from Ancient Egyptian history and mythology to Mormonism and do nothing but spit information about their beliefs and worldview - and not themself be a follower of those paths.
[Blogger News Network] » Sarah Palin Battles Mitt Romney for GOP Helm - Blogger News Network: Palin is far more viable, nationally, than Mike Huckabee ever could be because her appeal to the same segment is of national relevance whereas the Huck was merely a regional name. Huckabee probably believes he has a chance in 4 years even though his choice to hire a Hollywood agent and do a Fox show isn’t exactly a smart way to keep your hat ringside, but sure as he would love to run again if for no other reason to thwart Mitt Romney again, he will have to eliminate Palin since the two of them would potentially water down the culturalist vote, yielding Mitt Romney the nomination, ironically.
[The Fourth Rail] The <i>Cicero</i> Articles - The Long War Journal: In these countries Al-Zarqawi is not only able to draw on an army of sympathizers of the Holy War, that is, members of rather diverse Islamist networks who are at his disposal when necessary, he also has his own cells of active Holy Warriors in this semicircle across borders: in North Africa, Spain, France, and Italy, as well as in Germany: German security authorities suspect that at least 150 of his followers live, above all, in Bavaria, Baden-Wuerttemberg, and Berlin. His network is attached to radical mosques such as the Al-Nur Mosque in the Berlin district of Neukoelln or the Multicultural Centre in Neu-Ulm.
[Out of Ur] Dancing with Consumerism | Out of Ur | Conversations for Ministry ...: From what I can see of this generation of Jesus followers, seekers, and not-yet Jesus followers, this 3 fold description of the life of Christ Shane talks about is the very thing that resonates with them. True, there is the Mega-church crowd that fills the pews and subsidizes these lavish worship-complexes, but do they mirror Christlike discipleship?
[Global Warming] AccuWeather.com: Global Warming News, Science, Myths, Articles: Lost Boy Paul, that entire site is down just now, but fortunately I kept the browser window open, so I've pasted the entire article below (minus the graphics, but including the "major fossil fuel seam" reference). BTW, this is just one of a number of relevant links that a google of co2+coal+PETM turns up.
[Out of Ur] Megachurch Misinformation | Out of Ur | Conversations for Ministry ...: Thumma and Travis address the question of whether megachurches are bad for a given area and they determine that it does not statistically seem to make that much of a difference but that small churches need to carve out a niche. This is easier said than done.
[Phoenix Preacher] Trial By Blog at Phoenix Preacher: Lighthouse should be called out for their lies, lack of charity, and divisiveness, publically because they have made charges publicly themselves. If they do not come to repentence then CC and any other groups that sees what Lighthouse has descended into should turn their ears from them.
[politicalbetting.com] politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Is Labour reconciled to ...: Despite tpfkar’s comment at [92], October’s only the most dangerous month for party leaders in opposition or where there’s a rapid system of leadership election. For Labour in government, June is critical because the Summer offers the only decent window that won’t seriously disrupt the parliamentary plans.
[DealBook] Where's the Plan, Wall Street? - DealBook Blog - NYTimes.com: Not sure I agree that Wall Street ought to be leading the charge for sensible regulation - the loss of credibility has been far too deep and severe for that to be politically or ethically viable and every time there seems to have been a corner turned, you get an AIG moment that destroys yet more credibility. That said, I think many of Sorkin’s above suggestions are sensible and in total constitute a very solid starting point for regulation of the investment banking sector (of course, it leaves out what to do about hedge funds and the other portions of the shadow banking system which pose in many respects a more grave threat to the stability of the system, but perhaps that’s another discussion).
[Martin D. Weiss' Blog] Today GM ”¦ tomorrow America: Will we survive? | Martin D. Weiss' Blog: begs a Yes answer. I suggested to President George W Bush that he declare bankruptcy for all of us, both as a nation and individually in one fell swoop by presidential directive. In other words, everyone is absolved from all debt wherever noted or recorded. Then we all start over again with a clean slate, from scratch. That way, the complete bankruptcy that is America would start everyone out on a level playing field. Instead of dragging it out over a period of years where everyone is slowly positioning themselves to stick the other (Like Ruff’s definition of the Old Maid Game), there would be no recovery by the sharks circling the money. Those shark bankers would also suffer greatly.That is where we go eventually. There is no turning back. Our nation is bankrupt. But the sharks still wound up with the money. Bankrupting the whole nation would at least declare it to the world, and let the whole world start over. What a sorry mess that will be. There is no do-overs in this game. The bad outcome is guaranteed because of the larceny in most everyone, all around the world, China included. The only bubble remaining is the giant money printing machine alluded to by Doug Noland at Prudent Bear Advisors. What a collapse that will be.
[CNN Political Ticker] CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive ...: He wrote that the Republicans who spoke out at these events (face it, the "Tea Parties" were anything but non-partisan) boxed themselves into a corner by digging their heals in at a time that open mindedness and consensus are the key ingredients to solving our problems.
