New Teaching Audio File- What’s in a name? Pronunciation or Reputation?
Back in October, Becky and I went to the Witnesses Now For Jesus convention. I had the privilege of presenting on the topic of the Divine Name and what exactly that means. It was well received.
Some friends of ours in the ministry placed the audio on their web site. You can either listen to it online or save it on your computer and listen to it later. Feel free to share your comments here.
From The Jewel Box # 8
2/28/05– While Becky was at the gym, our son was looking out of the window and saw water in the parking lot. He pointed outside and said that the cars went potty. This was is cute because he has been observing that our daughter is potty trained and that he is learning. Since he saw a puddle of water on the ground by a car, his natural conclusion is that the car had an accident.

Ding fries are done!
Becky and I just got back from seeing the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and now I’ve got this song stuck in my head. The only way to get the song out of my head is to put it into someone else’s head. Click on the song Christmas Eve in Sarajevo.
After you listen to that, listen to the Youtube version.

Good luck getting it out of your head!
Mitt Romney and Mormonism
Here is a good video put together by some colleagues in the ministry. A number of our friends were interveiwed for this 32 minute video. Check out the section starting at 1:30 and ending at 2:32.

Hmm… If Mitt is open to talking about the most unusual thing about his religion, Noah’s ark according to Mitt’s own lips, then why does he refuse to talk about the things that are not as unusual to Mormonism, say like, Jesus coming back to Missouri or God having a material body and being fathered by another God?
Another another note, Mitt said to the interviewer “You haven’t exactly got those doctrines right.” If she got them wrong, what exactly was wrong and why didn’t he correct her?
Witnessing to Witnesses- Not quite prepared
I went with my folks today to pick up my brother from the airport. He is visiting for CHRISTmas. Since we got to the airport early, I decided to drop by and see if the Jehovah’s Witnesses were there. They have a booth in terminal one where they usually station themselves. Sure enough, they where they.
My folks and I went into the Starbucks in the terminal and on the way, I took a Watchtower magazine from the two JW ladies. The title said something about living forever. If you know anything about my Dad, you will know that he is notoriously EARLY for everything. Since we had close to an hour, I decided to spend it with the JW’s. I went back to their booth and asked if they wouldn’t mind answering a question about the magazine I took from them earlier. The magazine talked about living forever so I inquired about where they expect to spend eternity. As most Witnesses will say, they expect to live forever on earth.
I brought up the thief who died next to Jesus and asked what Jesus promised him. They were familiar with the account and correctly said that Jesus promised to be with Him in paradise. I pointed out that since Jesus said He was going to be with the thief, then regardless of whether the thief spends eternity in heaven or on the earth, he would be with Jesus. Since this is completely foreign to Watchtower theology, the JW ladies gave me blank stares.
As most conversations with JW’s go, we talked about a number of different topics. We got to talking about the resurrection of Jesus Christ and they wanted to know why I believed that Jesus was raised in the same physical body in which He died. As the title mentions above, I was not quite prepared- I did not have my Bible with me. Interestingly enough, they did not have their Bibles either. I asked for a pen and paper and wrote down a couple of passages that prove that Jesus still has a physical body.
First Timothy 2:5- For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
Notice that this passage is speaking of Jesus as a man after His resurrection. He is not a “spirit creature” as the Watchtower teaches, He is a man.
Acts 17:31- Because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.
This is speaking of a future event in which all mankind will be judged by a man. The context of the passage reveals that this resurrected man is none other than Jesus Christ. Again, we will not be judged by a spirit creature, we will be judged by a man.
We talked about a few other topics as well, and I wrote down more passages for them, but it was about time for me to meet my brother. The ladies wanted my contact information so they could answer some of my questions. I gave them one of my non ministry e-mail addresses and they promised to get back with me.
I was happy to be able to have a chance to witness to these ladies, and I did learn something in the process. I need to put a Bible on my PDA. If I would have had my Bible with me, the points I made would have had much more of an impact. I’ve got a Treo 600 and lots of space on it. I need to load it up with some witnessing materials so that I will be better prepared in the future. Please join me in prayer for these two JW ladies. May God reach them, take them from darkness and bring them into His marvelous light.
Let’s say “Thanks!”
A number of people forwarded this to me and I thought it worthy of posting. My letter was;
Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. I know it is difficult being away
from family, especially for CHRISTmas, but know that you are appreciated and
prayed for. God bless you for HIS glory and keep your head down!

Twisted CHRISTmas
Could it be? Twisted Sister singing Oh Come All Ye Faithful? Not only that, but it looks like they have a whole album of CHRISTmas carols. Check out Twisted Sister’s web site. This would make an interesting stocking stuffer.

From The Jewel Box # 7
12/22/05– Becky was talking to our daughter about celebrating Jesus’ birthday on Christmas. Our daughter asked, “Mommy, are we going to make a cake for Jesus? When Becky confirmed that we would, she asked, “But Mommy, who is going to blow out the candles?”
This one is funny also because it takes into consideration how literal children are. Our daughter knows that Jesus is not physically with us so she asked an obvious question that most adults wouldn’t even think about. We had the cake, the candles, so who is going to blow them out?

Cool Tool for the Gospel
I recently came across a very cool tool to use in spreading the gospel. Look in our “Cool Tool” section on the right side bar and look for this.
I found one like it at on a forum and decided that I wanted to use it too. The graphic was created by Living Waters which is affiliated with Ray Comfort. If you click on this link, you will find all kinds of other cool tools to use in preaching the gospel. One of my favorites is the link at the bottom of the page which shows you how you can insert this graphic into a signature in your e-mail. I’ve included it into my ministry e-mail and encourage you to do the same as well. Right now my signature looks like this.

First shots with my new XD
I know I am late in posting this, but it is better late than never. I wanted to show off how reliable the Springfield XD is right out of the box. I wanted to go shoot it the day that Fed Ex deliverd it, but I had too much ministry to do that day. Once I finally got to the range, I was not disappointed at all. My first shot was a perfect 10 at seven yards. A little higher and to the right of dead center, but a ten none the less.
My next five shots were also tens. Still a little high except for one shot that I jerked. I felt it
when I shot it and was thankful that I did not jerk it as much as I thought I did. A little more and it would have been a nine. That big tear in the top middle is two rounds. It doesn’t show up on the picture very well, but there are two grease rings where the paper is folder back
I figured, what the heck, after shooting six perfect shots, I might as well just keeep shooting tens with the whole box… so I did.
This is the first time I’ve ever shot tens with one whole box of ammo. I’ve had some close ones before, but never one where all of the grease rings are breaking the line of the ten spot. I am VERY happy with my new Springfield XD.
