Does following Jesus involve not much more than admiring Mac/PC commercial parodies, owning an iPod, and listening to Christian pop, or is there a Biblical definition of what it means to follow Christ? Did Christ, Himself, define in Scripture what true followers of Christ would face? True Christians: Are you suffering persecution and being called “divisive” because you’ve dared to question your “pastor’s leadership vision”? Have you wondered why this is, and if you’re really in the wrong Biblically? If you’ve ever had these questions and haven’t been sure about the correct answers to them, you should listen to this sermon.
This sermon is by Pastor Mark Kielar of First Baptist of Boynton Beach. You can find out more about his ministry at http://www.firstboynton.com

“You are absolutely beautiful, my Beloved; there is no flaw in You!” (Song of Songs 4:7)
J.R. Miller, HT: Grace Gems | Plato expressed a desire that the moral law might become a living personage, that men seeing it thus incarnate, might be charmed by its beauty. Plato’s wish was fulfilled in Jesus Christ! The holiness [...]

In the Apprising Ministries piece Emerging Church transFORM (ECt) I told you that Tony Jones, a leading voice within the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church de-formation of the Christian faith—now morphing into Emergence Christianity (EC) and “theologian in residence” at the EC church of his equally heretical quasi-universalist Doug Pagitt, tweeted:
Launching today – TransFORM : an international, trans-denominational missional community formation network: http://ow.ly/yE8z (Online source)
Here’s yet further example showing that the Emerging/ent/ence Church is far from dead; just the day before the above tweet by Jones, EC spiritual driector/guru Brian McLaren shared in his post a fantastic video …
…about forming missional communities, featuring some of my dear friends. Transform is a new network seeking to help innovative missional communities of practice take shape, grow, and multiply… (Online source)
As I pointed out in the aforementioned post ECt, if you’re at all familiar with this postliberal cult of Emergence Christianity, you will recognize many of the names on the Leadership Team of this TransFORM—as well as the people in the video—e.g. Jones’ fast friend gay affirming “pastor” Jay Bakker.
In Outlaw Preachers And The Emerging Church you’ll also see that the EC has now embraced this rather biblically illiterate bunch that’s crowned themselves outlaw preachers, and who are now slithering up all around head Outlaw Bakker, because each group shares a common goal.
They are attempting to convince us that the deviant lifestyle of having sexual relations with another of the same sex, i.e homosexuality, is a viable one for the evangelical Christian, which is why AM has been continuing to warn that there’s a very dark and threatening same-sex storm right now approaching hurricane force which is currently only slightly off the coast of your own local church.
You may also recall that Jones and Pagitt are the dubious duo behind the recent EC apostasia-palooza Christianity 21 (c 21); and sure enough, in the promo video e.g. we see C 21 “Voices” pastrix Nanette Sawyer, Makeesha Fisher and Julie Clawson. And then there’s ELCA pastrix Nadia Bolz-Weber shown below, who’s hosting the upcoming Outlaw Preacher’s Reunion at her HFASS church:

Imports confiscated for using “Allah,” a forbidden word for non-Muslims.
FRESNO, Calif., November 7 (CDN) — Malaysian port and customs authorities have seized at least 15,000 Bibles in recent months because the word “Allah” for God appears in them.
Some 10,000 of the Bahasa Malaysia-language Bibles, which were printed in Indonesia, are in Kuching, capital of Sarawak in East Malaysia, and another 5,000 copies are in Kelang near Kuala Lumpur.
The Christian Federation of Malaysia (CFM) on Wednesday (Nov. 4) called for the immediate release of the confiscated Bibles. At the same time, CFM Executive Secretary Tan Kong Beng told Compass that the federation is striving for amicable relations with government authorities.
“We are open to and desire further discussion with officials so that this problem can be resolved,” the CFM official said.

O my Saviour,
Help me.
I am so slow to learn,
so prone to forget,
so weak to climb;
I am in the foothills when I should be
on the heights;
I am pained by my graceless heart,
my prayerless days,
my poverty of love,
my sloth in the heavenly race,
my sullied conscience,
my wasted hours,
[...]
