The works of the flesh are characteristics of the sinful nature of man caused by lust [sinful desire]. They are opposites of the qualities which the Holy Spirit wants to develop in your life. There is a constant spiritual battle going on in the life of a believer. The works of the flesh are trying to destroy the fruit of the Holy Spirit. <more...> Work Four: LASCIVIOUSNESS Lasciviousness is the sin of lust, sinful emotions, and lewdness. It is filthy and shameless conduct. Lasciviousness is one of the characteristics by which you can recognize false teachers.
The Insanity of God is the title of a new book written by Nik Ripken, which contends that persecution is good. Ripken tells OneNewsNow he came up with the title during a lengthy discussion about what to name the book. "In our mind was this whole thing about a God who would send his only beloved son to the world and what would the world say about us going to Somalia and putting ourselves at risk," he explains. Archbishop Georg Gänswein, Pope Benedict's private secretary who has been dubbed "Gorgeous George" by the Italian media, is now a real-life cover boy. The prelate has landed on the cover of Vanity Fair. The cover on the Italian edition of the magazine shows the 56-year-old archbishop smiling, his blue eyes beaming, above a headline that reads "Father Georg—It's not a sin to be beautiful." The Tempe City Court in Arizona this week dismissed a case against evangelist Doru Neamtu. Neamtu was targeted and harassed for street witnessing.
Liberty Counsel, who defended Neamtu, reports that Tempe police have been harassing the evangelist for many years. Among other discrimination, Neamtu is forbidden from using an amplifier on the street, while the bars and night clubs are blaring amplified noise. Are you there for your kids—really there? Or, are you just going through the motions? I want to share with you how dads—even divorced dads—can establish a “consistent presence” in their children’s lives. For too many fathers, home is where they eat, sleep, and do their best to keep the noise level down. Day-to-day parenting is often left to their wives. These dads have convinced themselves that their presence or absence has little impact on the family. Many Christians already have seen the blockbuster "Les Miserables" and have voiced glowing reactions, partly the hoped-for result of a marketing campaign to the faith community. According to a report by CNN, NBC Universal sought to capitalize on the movie's themes of grace, mercy and redemption by promoting Les Miserables to pastors, Christian radio hosts and other influential people in Christian circles. |
