An embarrassing website

www.2007rapture.com is an embarrassing website name. Shelby Corbitt who writes this website makes numerous claims here regarding a "rapture" that was supposed to happen in 2007. Well news for Shelby, no rapture buddy. He/She has already tried to explain why this didn't happen but the explanation is pretty pointless.

Some of the mistakes Shelby has made include:

Lots of useful stuff in Ephesians 5

Following my post about Sunday I had a comment to respond to regarding what we found in Ephesians.

There's lots of useful stuff in Ephesians. Some of the best stuff there was in relation to how as husbands we are to love our wives as Christ loved the church - there are lots of parallels there - and as a result the wife will submit to the husband - as the girls pointed out they are more likely to want to when we love them that way.

Specific things included building them up and edifying them, assisting them to grow spiritually, loving them sacrificially, etc.

The group dynamic was also interesting - put 4 couples in a room and there's always some interesting comments!

Fun Sunday Night

We had a great day today. First we went to see Dr Jonathan Sarfati present information on Creation Science. He presented some very good deconstructions of evolutionist positions on things like the Grand Canyon, the fossil record and cell design.

Following that we hung out with the Lehtonens for lunch at our place for a while. Later in the afternoon (after a nap) I took the kids up to the park for a play. Mercedes gets so excited about bugs. I showed her a little bug that was crawling along the grass and she watched entranced as it got to the top of a grass stem - balancing akwardly - and then eventually launched up and flew away - "Bye Bye Bug" she said.

My next job was mopping the floors! 

Home group and a shared meal for dinner. Our pastor came tonight and we looked closely at Ephesians chapter 5 and the roles of husband and wife in marriage.

He who has ears to hear

Yesterday and this morning I was reading from Isaiah 6:9-10 - it shows that it is only those who actually hear that get the message – those who listen don’t.

False Christianity Exposed

Jesus preached Woe on the pharisees and other religious hypocrites of the day in Matthew 23.

In our day there are many who have a form of Godliness but deny the reality of it. Some of this can bee seen in their actions. There are numerous websites and emails circulating that are attempts by people calling themselves christians, some well meaning, others I believe deliberately fraudulent.
