I think Christian should know the "ceremonial" law concerning the Promised Blessing of the Tithe. Everything you are giving above the 10% is a free will offering or gift... and shows your concern for heavenly treasures ... Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. In those matters we know that God wills to see us do it in "secret" lest we be seen to give of men :-} Matthew 23:5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, Look at this really cool promise Jesus gave us all... Matthew 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth 4 *That thine alms may be in secret:* and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. If we give in secret so men do not know God will openly reward us before all.... God Bless Greg..

Dear, dear Gregor, I know how much you love that church. So, therefore I would pray you are never disappointed in your endeavors there and that the Hand of God keeps everything done there in His hand and that it flourishes. There is a rather growing movement within "The Body of Christ" and if you haven't noticed the growing questioning of everything from A to Z, and that more and more from the very oldest and most respected "leaders", so of course down the road I'm sure everyone will be aware of it and have to run various things through their minds and line it all up with the man Jesws Christ, and His words alone, and see what is real and what is not. Within all this confusion, I think the only thing that will be left standing is fellowship in Jesus Christ only, Him alone, and that for the sole and only purpose of being brought back to Jehovah God, who made us all and saved only Noah's family in an effort to erase a total planet of evil and trashy humans. But, there is a big problem when there is so much to put through the fire of purification, as it were, and it is almost impossible to talk about it since others are flourishing within that atmosphere many others are beginning to see as slightly or overtly scary and foreign. This presents a real challenge of faith, and apparently some are getting out altogether and finding more peace with the Lord and others are staying right in the middle and having a great time and getting closer to the Lord, I would certainly hope, in the process. I start a serious computer expertise full semester Tuesday, and migiht stay with the professional student program until I actually know something. And will have to work at the same time, so I'm out of here anyway. I pray for both the hatred Osama Ben Ladin holds for a country that now exports more satanic elements to every tiny village in the world than they have all seen in all of their pagan activities of the 6,000 years. Through our movies, our internet, our TV, our traveling movie stars and everything else I can think of. Except our missionaries. I pray that the rumors of Jane Fonda are true and that the years and years and years of prayer for everything she brought about that could not be changed with time and has only recently begin to change for men well into their 40's and 50's by now, I pray that even Jane Fonda, the long time communist helper and advocate in every possible sitution she could worm her way into, I pray that she does find Jesus Christ and that He sets her on a path to immediately bind up the vast network of broken GIs out there that never did get over having kids their own age spit in their faces when they came back home alive. Further repentance by Jane I believe would have a healing effect on the basket cases, at least. And then maybe it wouldn't have any effect but it would still be nice. But mercifully, all of these questions of right and wrong are things I just won't have that much time to feel compelled to post my own feelings on for a long time, and that's been really nice for the past many months when I wasn't on the net. Maybe it isn't even worth talking about, who knows. But I ask you all to keep Ben Ladin in your prayers. I recently looked to see exactly who this guy was that I felt compelled to pray for quite a bit of the time, and lo and behold, I found that praying for him was a just effort and I plan to do more of it. But in all matters from now on, religious and secular, everyone should do there own research and find out for themselves the exact truth of each matter. That's a waker-upper for sure. May the total peace of God given to us through Jesus Christ continue to be with us as we do our best to honor God by living as much the way He instructed in the Bible as is humanly possible. And that we remember the words of all the prophets that Jesus so often referred to, as they also were given for this time. As much as times change, they stay the same, which is very, very interesting.
