My wife’s Naturalization situation

My wife's Naturalization situation

My wife’s Naturalization situation still needs your prayers. It still hasn’t ended.

Update: As of January 2023, Tule (my wife) has her American citizenship. We went up to Orlando in January and finished the process. As of now (February 2023) we only need to go to the American embassy here in Mexico City and get her password. I do not foresee any more trips to the States for matters of her citizenship. We wanted to take care of this as the Social Security years are fast approaching us and we need to have everything we can in order so she can get her Social Security.

ACA and Samaritan Health Insurance

ACA and Samaritan Health Insurance

ACA and Samaritan Health Insurance is a supporter note about some things happening and how it affects us and our insurer, Samaritan Ministries. Samaritan Ministries is a Christian health insurance that has monthly donations where you directly pay another member of the group, and once a year you send your share that month to the main office for their expenses. I highly recommend it. You have to sign a doctrinal statement to get in, and promise you are not using drugs or alcohol. Excellent!

Do we need to “Remake” “Church”?

Do we need to “Remake” “Church”? People reject God’s vision of the church for their own, and try to remake God’s church

There has been a movement afoot for many years now, and it is gaining more and more popularity today. This movement is a move to “remake” what we know as “church.” In this article, I am going to examine the movement against the light of the Bible. Consider Bert Farias’ Unchurch the Church.

Unlike the beginnings of the early Church, much of the Church today is set up like a corporation with lots of organization and structure, programs and budgets, which are useful, but often with so little emphasis on prayer and the Holy Spirit’s workings, as well as relationship with one another in the context of kingdom culture

Duarte – The Secret Structure of Great Talks

Duarte – The Secret Structure of Great Talks is a good listen for all preachers.

http://www.ted.com/talks/nancy_duarte_the_secret_structure_of_great_talks

This is Nancy Duarte’s TEDS speech (18 minutes) about Great Talks. Although there is nothing really “Christian” about this video, it has made a big impact on me. While I watch this video I realized that a lot of the things she is saying is just good preaching. It parallels biblical preaching, i.e. present the need (sinner is under the condemnation of God), present the end result (sinner saved, living in Christ), and then present the bridge between the two, i.e. how do we get from the first point to the conclusion. Excellent speech!
