Moriah Peters - A role model that we can all respect!

Moriah Peters is rapidly becoming a very successful Christian singer. Her song, "Well Done" is amazing. She brings an organic sound with a fresh youthful look and feel that I think is badly needed as an influence for young girls out there. She was on American Idol a couple years ago and she was told her lifestyle wasn't going to work. It seems they wanted another worldly pop star instead of a good role model. She was told by celebrity judges to go party and kiss a boy to, "feel sexy". Here's a video of her discussing her experience on American Idol.
Here's a link to her video for Well Done. All the top christian music videos are here at ILoveKingJesus Blog and updated often.

Who are the Nephilim? This explains all 3 main arguments.

First, who are the "sons of God" and the "Nephilim"? There are three proposed interpretations:

1. "Sons of God" refers to fallen angels who lived on earth and married human women. The Nephilim are giants of extra-human strength who were the offspring of these marriages.
2. "Sons of God" refers to descendents of Seth, who were godly men who sinned by marrying descendents of Cain, who would have been pagans. The Nephilim were simply "heroes", not giants, and may or may not have been the offspring of the mixed marriages.
3. "Sons of God" is better translated as "kings" or "sons of nobles" and "Nephilim" is best translated as "princes" or "great men." That is, the "sons of God" were royalty or aristocrats who were generally immoral and married common women, possibly against their will or despite their already being married.

Arguments for view 1:

• The phrase "sons of God" is used in Job 1:6 and 2:1 to describe angels, and apparently early Jewish writers interpreted this passage as referring to angels.
• In support of the idea that angels came to live on earth and married human women, Jude 6 refers to "angels who...abandoned their own home," and other passages describe angels as being able to assume human form (Heb 13:2, Gen 19:1-3).
• In Numbers 13:33, the Nephilim are described as giants. Nephilim is translated to "fallen ones".

Arguments against view 1:

• "Sons of God" in the Job passages refers to "good" angels, and distinguishes them from Satan, the fallen angel. Since only fallen angels would be marrying humans, they wouldn't be referred to as "sons of God."
• Mark 12:25 and Matthew 22:30 state that angels don't marry. (Supporters of this view respond that these passages say that angels don't marry in heaven, not that they can't marry on earth.)
• Num 13:33 could be an exaggeration of the faithless spies.
• God seems to condemn mankind for the intermarrying in Gen 6:3, but says nothing about the angels, though they were at least as responsible for it as the humans.
  Arguments for view 2:
• Humans are referred to as children of God elsewhere in the Bible (Deut 14:1, Is 43:6, etc.)
• Genesis 5 describes godly descendents of Seth (Enoch, Noah), while Lamech, one of Cain's descendents, was also a murderer (Gen 4:23).
• To support the "Nephilim weren't offspring of the marriages" view: Gen 6:4 doesn't explicitly say the Nephilim were offspring, only that they showed up at the same time the intermarriage was happening.

Arguments against view 2:

• The Sethites don't sound very godly, since only Noah and his family were spared from the flood. (However, "sons of God" may refer to generations previous to those whose sin brought about the flood.)
• This interpretation requires that the phrases "men" and "daughters of men" have two different meanings within the same sentence. "Men" and "daughters of men" in v.1 would refer to all mankind and their daughters, but "daughters of men" in v. 2 would refer to Cainite women.

Arguments for view 3:

• Contemporary rulers referred to themselves as sons of God - the Egyptian king was called "son of Re."
• The Hebrew word in the phrase "sons of God" is Elohim, which is elsewhere in the Bible translated as "judge" or other human authority (Ex 21:6, Ps 82:1)
• Early translations of "sons of Elohim" rendered it as it as "sons of nobles" or "sons of kings"
• The word "Nephilim" is associated in Gen 6:4 with "gibborim", which means "mighty man of valor, strength, wealth, or power."

Arguments against view 3:

• While pagans referred to royalty as sons of God, Israelites did not, and nobles were not referred to as "sons of God."
• This interpretation seems "forced" - a stretching of the meaning of the text.

Psalm 95:1-7 

 ³ For the LORD is the great God,
   the great King above all gods.
⁴ In his hand are the depths of the earth,

⁶ Come, let us bow down in worship,
   let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;

Tebow's Hospital in the Philippines

Tim Tebow's a winner on many different levels!

"NFL quarterback Tim Tebow CURE International have announced the construction of the Tebow CURE Hospital. This hospital will be located on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines and will provide life-changing surgeries for children with curable conditions like clubfoot, bowed legs, cleft lips, and untreated burns. Like all CURE programs, the Tebow CURE Hospital will have a spiritual ministry team focused on sharing the good news of God's love with children and families."

Your Donation Will Be Matched

"Together, we need to raise the final $700,000 to meet the projected three million dollar cost of the hospital, and right now, the first $200,000 in gifts to the Tebow CURE Hospital will be matched dollar-for-dollar. Learn more, tell your friends, or join Tim Tebow and CURE by clicking Here!."

Why Do People Hate Tim Tebow?

Tebow is now 2-2 as a starting quarterback in the NFL (and if you don't know he's working with one of the worst teams out there), but you would think he's 0-4, with horrible stats the way people speak of him. Most of the Tebow haters say he's not a quarterback. Tell that to Miami and the other teams he beat as he was behind center. He has 15 Td's with only 3 interceptions. 7 of those TD's are rushing. He hasn't had an entire season to prepare yet so I would think he will only improve his skills as he gets used to the NFL. The truth that scares all of his critics is the fact that this is most likely as bad as he'll ever get. For now his constant 4th quarter heroics speak for itself.

Aaron Rodgers had 6 wins 10 losses his first year. And Rodgers had a better team to work with not to mention a more efficient learning process as he was studying behind the great Brett Favre for 2 whole years.

Peyton Manning went 3 wins and 13 losses his first year. Though he went 13 and 3 the following year which showed he just needed to iron out a few kinks.

Tom Brady was simply a beast from the get go, but his first full season he only racked up 9 wins and 7 losses.

Steve Young definitely had difficulties early on. His record as a starter was 3–16. In his 19 games, he threw for only 11 touchdowns with 21 interceptions while completing fewer than 55% of his passes. That was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers which was a horrible organization, similar to Tebows current position with the Broncos where now without Brandon Loyd and no real running threat Tebow is pretty much the whole offense. Even when Steve Young went to San Fran and Joe Montana was finally done they went 4-4 until Young warmed to his new roll.

Troy Aikman also had a pretty rough start and his team actually had some talent. He finished 1989 with an 0-11 record as a starter, completing 155 of 293 passes for 1,749 yards, 9 TDs, 18 INTs.

John Elway's first season in 1983 ended with a record of 9 wins 7 losses with many more interceptions than TD's. Brett Favre also went 9 for 7, Carson Palmer went 8-8, Johnny Unitas went 7-5.....etc

We as Christians aren't surprised at all by the negativity he receives from the media as we are used to the media being against all things Christian. The Bible is full of warnings that we will be treated badly while we follow Jesus. Here are a few verses that speak about the persecution we Christians will continue to endure.

1 Thessalonians 3:7

2 Corinthians 12:10

Hebrews 10:33

Tim Tebow was born in the Philippines as his missionary parents were there spreading the love of Jesus Christ. His mother was told to have an abortion due to high risk of complications but her faith wouldn't allow her to and I'm pretty sure she's glad she made that decision.

He's an amazing story, if you're interested in knowing more of Tebow here are some links.

Acts 8:37 Why Shouldn't I be baptized?

If you're worried about being allowed to be baptized or partake in the breaking of The Holy Bread this will help. Here's a wonderful excerpt from Charles Spurgeon's morning and evening devotion.

"If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest."
Acts 8:37

"These words may answer your scruples, devout reader, concerning the ordinances. Perhaps you say, "I should be afraid to be baptized; it is such a solemn thing to avow myself to be dead with Christ, and buried with him. I should not feel at liberty to come to the Master's table; I should be afraid of eating and drinking damnation unto myself, not discerning the Lord's body." Ah! poor trembler, Jesus has given you liberty, be not afraid. If a stranger came to your house, he would stand at the door, or wait in the hall; he would not dream of intruding unbidden into your parlour--he is not at home: but your child makes himself very free about the house; and so is it with the child of God. A stranger may not intrude where a child may venture. When the Holy Ghost has given you to feel the spirit of adoption, you may come to Christian ordinances without fear. The same rule holds good of the Christian's inward privileges. You think, poor seeker, that you are not allowed to rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory; if you are permitted to get inside Christ's door, or sit at the bottom of his table, you will be well content. Ah! but you shall not have less privileges than the very greatest. God makes no difference in his love to his children. A child is a child to him; he will not make him a hired servant; but he shall feast upon the fatted calf, and shall have the music and the dancing as much as if he had never gone astray. When Jesus comes into the heart, he issues a general licence to be glad in the Lord. No chains are worn in the court of King Jesus. Our admission into full privileges may be gradual, but it is sure. Perhaps our reader is saying, "I wish I could enjoy the promises, and walk at liberty in my Lord's commands." "If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest." Loose the chains of thy neck, O captive daughter, for Jesus makes thee free."
