<title>Keeping the  WORD in Christmas Keeps the Christmas a  CHRIST-Must!</title>

On the night Jesus was born, every inn was full and nobody was willing to give them shelter so that&#x2019;s why the newborn Jesus was born in a stable and placed in a manger (Luke 2:7). The people who own those inns in those times were very inconsiderate of the pour couple even when they saw the mother who was already in labor and about to give birth any minute soon. Instead of a decent room, I believe they were given a stable for the baby to be born not just because all rooms were occupied but also because they couldn&#x2019;t afford the room. This event clearly tells us how much the world hated the LIVING WORD. It also paints a vivid picture of our cold and selfish &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p class=&#x22;MsoNormal&#x22; style=&#x22;text-align: justify;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://newborndude.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SVEjkgoKCCYAAG5-3@s1&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;/a&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p class=&#x22;MsoNormal&#x22; style=&#x22;text-align: justify;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;rotten human nature.

<title>Papaya song and now Papaya bombs, whats next? Papaya band?</title>

Who would have thought that these extremist nutcase sickos would use a papaya fruit to hide a live 81 mm mortar with a watch and a blasting cap. An innovation for destruction to the sickest level. With four more papaya bombs that have been discovered since December 18&#x27;s bomb explosions, I guess this retards think its the ultimate camouflaged weapon or is it? Thanks to this brazen event most people are now afraid to shop, stroll, or even just &#x22;tambay lang&#x22; (killing time) in the city. &#x3C;br style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;br style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;For the first time I felt sad to see the streets which is usually congested with traffic in this time of season relatively more like a forgotten alley than a bustling city highway. Wow! I used to hate traffic but now I&#x27;m hoping to see traffic again. Having your car in a bumper to bumper situation would feel welcoming in this tr...</description>

<title>The Antichrist Fellowship Center</title>

<description>                &#x3C;img class=&#x22;alignmiddleb&#x22; src=&#x22;http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c64/coryjensen/ANTICHRIST.jpg&#x22; border=&#x22;0&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;font size=&#x22;2&#x22;&#x3E;It is interesting to note that over the ages the term Antichrist exudes dread among the believers as well as a badge of honor among infidels and Satan loving revelers. Even Hollywood is quick to incarnate the Antichrist in the form of a 15 foot fire breathing tail whipping horned monster to a suave and slick handsome man of charm and wit sipping champagne and chomping a Cuban cigar with gusto. Others persist that it&#x27;s the Pope while some insist its Barack Obama or it could well be the one and only self proclaimed bona fide&#x26;nbsp; proud Antichrist superstar Marilyn Manson. Having an eclectic line up of superstars, vicars and presidentiables, one can be as far-fetched as the other but there could be a grain of truth from such wild theories no matter how crazy it may seem when it comes to the modern church. I would like to add my own seasoning of &#x22;not so&#x22; brazen viewpoint on this matter. &#x22;Pseudo&#x22; brazen maybe.&#x3C;br style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;br style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;Though the Antichrist is cloaked both in mystery and hype but the...</description>

<title>Korina Sanchez muttering over PacMan&#x27;s win?</title>

A radyo talk show of some sort that features the best anchors in the business like the ever beautiful Korina Sanchez. &#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Korina, Ted (Failon), and some sports analyst on air (wasn&#x27;t able to catch up his name) were talking about Pacquiao&#x27;s huge win over Dela Hoya. Korina made a comment that caught my itching ears to attention about Pacmans win. She said that there were only two possibilities how our beloved Manny won the fight. It is either Oscar came from a bad sleep or It was by negotiation. &#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;What a good way to wake up a half sleeping drowsy guy in the middle of the morning. The Golden Boy missing his golden sleep? Maybe because Oscar knew his eminent predicament in facing the beastly underdog. But by negotiation? You mean Pacman won by negotiation even before they hit the canvass? That&#x27;s highly unlikely when there&#x27;s too mu...</description>

A match and win you could only think possible in a video game but Manny did it and did it well way beyond our expectations. &#x3C;br style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;br style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;At first I could feel my legs shaking a little bit when they were brought together at the center of the ring by the referee before the opening round began. I felt the chill when I saw the huge height difference and especially how the camera was placed which made look Oscar towering over Many. But as the fight progressed in every round the chills started to melt away seeing that Manny is controlling the fight effectively. &#x3C;br style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;br style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;I was watching PPV in the neighborhood.

That&#x27;s where I&#x27;ll be having really bad jitters from the core of my stomach. Why? because I have never seen someone having some interpreter with them in talk shows. Well I have yet to see a guest who doesn&#x27;t speak much English in a talk show and I&#x27;m afraid it would be Pacquiao getting the honors of being the first. Come on; imagine a popular late night talk show in the likes of Jimmy Kimmel and having our Manny Pacquiao presenting our notoriously known broken veggie English. Jimmy Kimmel has been named last 2007 by stuffmagazine.com as the &#x22;biggest bad ass on T.V.&#x22; and he&#x27;s also known for spoofing with the Hollywood stars.

I finally decided to stick my nose on TBN. The flamboyant Trinity Broadcasting Network with it&#x2019;s funny blasting preachers, some money hoarders,extravagant sets, some gaudy movies, and the never dying mix of good, bad, and the ugly doctrinal statements, its a cocktail of craziness and holiness of all sorts. It has its fair share of good stuff too. It&#x2019;s not entirely a den of false prophets and heretics in spiritual debauchery. There are a bunch that remains in orthodoxy and historical Christianity. When I speak of orthodoxy it means conventional accepted sound teachings and not the Eastern Orthodox faith. So I&#x2019;m in this certain TBN program run by Pastor Rod Parsley and sad to say I was dumbfounded by his remarks on &#x201C;reason&#x201D;. &#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p class=&#x22;MsoNormal&#x22; style=&#x22;LINE-HEIGHT: normal;&#x22; mce_style=&#x22;line-height:normal;&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;b&#x3E;&#x3C;font style=&#x22;FONT-SIZE: 12pt;&#x22; color=&#x22;#cc0000&#x22;&#x3E;He said that you don&#x2019;t need reason to get in line with God!&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/b&#x3E;&#x3C;font style=&#x22;FONT-SIZE: 12pt;&#x22; color=&#x22;#cc0000&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p class=&#x22;MsoNormal&#x22; style=&#x22;LINE-HEIGHT: normal;&#x22; mce_style=&#x22;line-height:normal;&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;font style=&#x22;FONT-SIZE: 12pt;&#x22; color=&#x22;#333333&#x22;&#x3E;This statement is a reflection that is shared by many misguided Christians particularly in the Pentecostal vein.

I pray that we will all learn from the errors within. The case I present can be prevalent to any church that is why we have to be vigilant against the yeast or leaven that is becoming more evident but sadly ignored in the modern church. The only way to spot and deal this gross contamination is through solid rock foundation and knowledge of God&#x27;s Word plus a prayerful life.&#x3C;b&#x3E; &#x3C;/b&#x3E;Fight for the good fight of faith, for righteousness, and for the hope that is in you&#x3C;b&#x3E;. &#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/b&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;font style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22; size=&#x22;2&#x22; face=&#x22;Verdana&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;em&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x3C;em&#x3E; &#x22;Watch and pray, that ye                 enter not into temptation&#x22;&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;font style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22; size=&#x22;2&#x22; face=&#x22;Verdana&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;em&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E; - Matthew                 26:41&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;br style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;p style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22; class=&#x22;MsoNormal&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;b&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/b&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22; class=&#x22;MsoNormal&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;font size=&#x22;3&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;b&#x3E;Oh Church why do you boast?&#x3C;/b&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22; class=&#x22;MsoNormal&#x22;&#x3E; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22; class=&#x22;MsoNormal&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;b&#x3E;&#x3C;i&#x3E;This is the year of your breakthrough!

<description>      &#x3C;p style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;It has been quite a while since the last time I posted. I had so much to do and so much to ponder about things that I had no time to post. Just to break the hiatus I&#x2019;ll just post this sonnet I wrote a few hours ago.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;Its a sonnet I was reluctant to compose for my niece&#x2019;s assignment in her English subject but her mom (my sister) asked for my help. I wonder why this teacher asked her 1st year high school students to compose such poem which I myself find it difficult to formulate. If it were just any poetry then I would use a free verse haiku type poetry. It&#x2019;s way shorter and much easier. I don&#x2019;t have to grind my brain to a pulp. In less than an hour of concocting and groping for rhyming words, viola! I hope its much closer to Shakespeare in blueprint than a Frankenstein.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;font size=&#x22;3&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;As I stand beneath the gaping moon&#x3C;br&#x3E; Where night embraces my solitude&#x3C;br&#x3E; In this lonely porch to catch my thoughts&#x3C;br&#x3E; Drowned in silence I began to mourn&#x3C;br&#x3E; Mourn for those days that I had ignored&#x3C;br&#x3E; Mourn for those days that bor...</description>

<title>Agape The Misguided Love</title>
<link>http://newborndude.multiply.com/journal/item/3/Agape_The_Misguided_Love</link>
<description>        &#x3C;p style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;As I was browsing and reading over one of my favorite internet Bible expositor Dean VanDruff (whose website I just discovered two days ago), my eye caught a topic about Agape which was entitled &#x3C;i&#x3E;Agape: God&#x27;s love or Sophistry?&#x3C;/i&#x3E; This topic was under the category of &#x3C;i&#x3E;Sacred Cows&#x3C;/i&#x3E; in which most if not all of his articles here (&#x3C;i&#x3E;not just the Sacred Cows Category but all of it in the dialogues and commentary page&#x3C;/i&#x3E;) are very challenging in content because it exposes the falsity of our modern day pop cultured church doctrines. As I read the article I was dumbfounded of it&#x27;s exposition about the term &#x22;God&#x27;s love&#x22; which is probably the most loved terminology in the church today but unfortunately not very fitting if applied to all agape verses. Here&#x27;s why:&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;i&#x3E;&#x3C;b&#x3E;Agape: God&#x27;s love or Sophistry?&#x3C;/b&#x3E;&#x3C;/i&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;i&#x3E;By Dean VanDruff&#x3C;/i&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;b&#x3E;&#x3C;i&#x3E;A correction in love; applying Acts 17:11 to a modern sacred cow.&#x3C;br&#x3E; &#x3C;/i&#x3E;&#x3C;/b&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;blockquote style=&#x22;color: rgb(204, 204, 204);&#x22;&#x3E; &#x3C;blockquote style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;b&#x3E;&#x3C;i&#x3E;1 Thes 5:21 (NIV)  Test everything.

<title>The yeast of Laodicea</title>
<link>http://newborndude.multiply.com/journal/item/2/The_yeast_of_Laodicea</link>
<description>    &#x3C;p style=&#x22;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&#x22;&#x3E;As I have read, studied and weighed (and continue to do so) the writings and teachings of others concerning the present predicament of today&#x27;s church, I agree that this is the unmistakable signs of the Laodicean church that was prophesied in the book of Revelations 3:14-22. As what this passage says it is obvious that once a church grows in power and wealth it gets too engrossed in it&#x27;s marketing and merchandise and forgets about what it stands for. It becomes lax in it&#x27;s zeal for God&#x27;s Word then it&#x27;s got a yeast of Laodicea in it. Obviously we have become rich as a church especially to the denominations that are really known to be explosive, dynamic and anointed strategists in church growth are gaining not just in biblical and paramount proportions but also in wealth and influence with all the mega churches and televangelists we see and hear. I happen to be part of that group (tongue blazing Pentecostals) and being one I am obviously elated but the church of Laodicea in Revelation...</description>

<description>       				&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;font size=&#x22;3&#x22;&#x3E;To all Christians (including the ever pretentious, the obvious oblivious, the hellish heretics and the pseudo apostates in disguise)&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;font size=&#x22;3&#x22;&#x3E;We raise our hands and shout &#x201C;Hallelujah&#x201D; and &#x201C;Praise the Lord&#x201D; as we sway to the retro beat of the Praise and Worship music. We dance and jump around the aisle like it&#x2019;s a rock concert. The congregation is in the verge of undignified status like David as he danced before the Lord. Then comes the worship song were some people begin to cry, speak in tongues, kneel, shake, as others simply raise their hands or the elderly sitting and worshiping silently in their pews or chairs. Either the worship service ends up in a rapturous chorus or a descending musical flow, one cant help but imagine that God is in the business of touching hearts and changing lives. But imagination is merely in the mind of the beholder and no matter how much we may imagine but the truth is no amount of praise and worship songs can truly convert a heart for God no matter how ...</description>
