TEXT: Matthew 5:13-16 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty {again?} It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does {anyone} light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

Biblical versus Cultural Christianity. Raw Food Cures From God.
Raw Food Cures From Godby www.SixWise.com Raw food proponents have long been spreading the word that a predominantly raw food diet will give you more energy, slow down aging, improve your skin, boost your mood, and fight a host of chronic diseases including chronic fatigue syndrome, Crohn's disease and even cancer. Yet, long before that, sometime in the early 17th century a German mystic named Jakob Bohme realized a philosophy known as "the doctrine of signatures. " According to Bohme's writings, the doctrine of signatures refers to the notion that God marked objects with a sign or "signature" revealing their true purpose.
The original theory has been traced back to Galen, a well-known physician and medical researcher around 159 A.D. What does this have to do with food? The doctrine of signatures says that plants look like the body part they're meant to heal, nourish and support. ''God created plants,'' Dr. Which Raw Foods' Appearances Reveal Their Uses?

These texts were written to particular people living at a definite time and place who shared common experiences and knowledge. By studying similar literature that precedes and follows the biblical writings chronologically, students of the Bible are better prepared to discover the intended meaning. Apocryphal and pseudepigraphal literature was apparently intended either to supplement or supplant existing canonical literature.

The message is an excerpt from a book entitled The Greatest Miracle In The World by Og Mandino.
The author, Mr. Mandino, has taken great pains to disguise its biblical origins from secular readers so that nonbelievers will enjoy God's message of love too! It was so good we'd like to share it with everyone! It has many profound and insightful things to say about our own very limited and selfish perspectives as humans and it gives us MANY powerful words of wisdom on how to successfully live life and where our priorities should be.

Anyone who’s spent any time on the Internet knows there is a growing sentiment of hatred towards religion. Spend a few moments perusing Digg or the Huffington Post and you’ll find droves of people decrying the evils of religion, religious thought or faith in general. In fact, one of the most common forms of this criticism is an ad hominem argument that equates Islamic fundamentalism with Christian fundamentalism and then denounces them both. It’s this sort of thinking that I want to address in this journal entry. This is by no means a systematic theology, but it is a simple breakdown of the basic teachings of Jesus, taken from his sermon in Matthew 5 through 7. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Jesus concludes the sermon with a poignant story about two men: one who built his house on a rock, the other who built on sand.

How I found God and peace with my atheist brother: PETER HITCHENS traces his journey back to Christianity. Updated: 14:25 GMT, 16 December 2011 During his teenage years and early 20s, Peter Hitchens lost his faith and rebelled against everything he had been brought up to believe in. Here, in a moving and thought-provoking account from his controversial new book, he describes his spiritual journey back to God - and the end of his feud with his brother I set fire to my Bible on the playing fields of my Cambridge boarding school one bright, windy spring afternoon in 1967.
I was 15 years old. Only after much blowing and encouragement did I manage to get it to ignite at all, and I was left with a disagreeable, half-charred mess. Most of my small invited audience drifted away long before I had finished, disappointed by the anticlimax and the pettiness of the thing. It would be many years before I would feel a slight shiver of unease about my act of desecration. In truth, it was not much of a Bible. But this was my Year Zero.

Algeria; A Persecuted Land Where Revival Refuses to Cease By Aidan Clay TIZI OUZOU, ALGERIA (ANS) -- An angry mob of local Muslims, disturbed over the presence of the newly constructed Tafat Church in Tizi Ouzou, Algeria, hoped that a little intimidation would scare the congregation away for good.
The mob broke in and ransacked the building one night, stealing sound equipment and lighting church property on fire. Nearly all furniture, Bibles and electrical appliances were damaged beyond repair. "They came and smashed things up. They think we're going to leave. International Christian Concern (ICC), a Washington DC-based human rights organization, visited Algeria, including Tizi Ouzou, just months after the attack on Tafat Church. Meeting with house church pastors in remote villages in the beautiful Kabylie Mountains, they shared stories of God's work amongst their people and reminisced about Algeria's great - and enduring - 20 year revival.
