The ‘Risen’ movie: an unbeliever confronts the empty tomb
Feb 22, 2016 – (BreakPoint)
February 22, 2016 (BreakPoint) — “Ben Hur,” “The Robe,” “The Ten Commandments,” “Quo Vadis?”—who can forget the golden age of biblical films? But that was the 1950s, and this is 2016.
Biblically based movies these days often comes across as, well, less than inspired. Writers and directors sometimes play fast and loose with the source material, leaving out crucial details and inventing some bizarre stuff. Worse, portrayals of God often come across as flippant or even blasphemous. And that’s just not something I enjoy watching.
Well, I want to urge you to give the genre another chance. Because a film that hit theaters this past weekend proves that swords-and-sandals productions based on the Bible can still hold their own against “Ben Hur.”
“Risen,” directed by Kevin Reynolds and starring Joseph Fiennes, is the story of the manhunt for the corpse of Jesus Christ. Spoiler alert: They don’t find it.
Stephen Curry, Manny Pacquiao, Tiger Woods and Nike
2/22/2016- Michael Brown
Although Manny Pacquiao quickly apologized for his remarks about homosexuals, Nike dropped him like a hot potato. In contrast, Nike never dropped Tiger Woods despite the revelations of his serial adulteries, even though those led to the destruction of his marriage and worldwide public shame. Why the double standard?
Does Nike believe that it is far worse to make a passing, extremely derogatory comment about homosexuals—one for which Manny quickly apologized and asked forgiveness—than to betray one’s children and cheat on one’s wife, sleeping with a bevy of different women over a period of years (including several porn stars)?
Or could it be that, because Tiger is still worth more money, his transgressions are more forgivable?
While appearing on a local Philippines TV station, Manny said, “It’s common sense. Do you see animals mating with the same sex? Animals are better because they can distinguish male from female. If men mate with men and women mate with women they are worse than animals.”
Franklin Graham Calls Charlotte, North Carolina, Transgender Bathroom Bill ‘Wicked, Filthy’
February 25, 2016 – The Christian Post
Franklin Graham, head of international relief organization Samaritan’s Purse, visits one of the organization’s cholera treatment centers in the Cite Soleil neighborhood of Port-au-Prince, January 8, 2011.
The Rev. Franklin Graham criticized Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts and city council members who voted to pass a controversial ordinance that would allow transgender residents to use either a men’s or women’s bathroom, depending on the gender with which they identify.
“Shame on Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts and the city council members” for passing the ordinance, Graham wrote Tuesday, after the vote on the measure, which also says businesses can’t discriminate against gay, lesbian or transgender customers and applies to places of public accommodation, such as bars, restaurants, stores as well as taxis.
Luter, on race relations, sees church as unifier
by Marilyn Stewart – Thursday, February 18, 2016
NEW ORLEANS (BP) — Race relations issues have not improved since the election of the first African American U.S. president, but the church can lead in modeling reconciliation, said Fred Luter Jr., immediate past president of the Southern Baptist Convention, the first African American to hold the position.
Fred Luter, former SBC president speaking on a Black History Month video, underscored a unity rooted in Jesus Christ. “Regardless of your race, regardless of what side of the track you were born on, regardless of all the things the media and society have tried to do to divide us, we can be one.”
Luter, speaking on a Black History Month video, “Answering the Call” produced by New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, said, “I really thought this nation was ready to move forward” with the historic election of Barack Obama that garnered votes from Anglos as well as diverse ethnic groups.
Melbourne Archbishop Denis Hart
MELBOURNE, Australia, February 12, 2016 (LifeSiteNews)
MELBOURNE, Australia, February 12, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – A Catholic member of Australia’s Parliament won`t be giving the keynote address to Catholic social workers as scheduled because of her public support of same-sex “marriage.”
MP Cathy McGowan was going to speak to Catholic Social Services workers from all over Australia at a conference later this month until Melbourne Archbishop Denis Hart asked that she be disinvited because of her open backing of same-sex “marriage” legislation opposed by the Church. The conference organizers complied.
Archbishop Hart’s spokesman Shane Healy told reporters, “There was no malice,” on Hart’s part, nor did he want to “in any way embarrass Cathy, but he would see with a conference such as this that the keynote speaker should be in line with Catholic teaching on that very important topic.”
Aussie family group stands up to LGBT program for 11-year-olds
Feb 17, 2016
AUSTRALIA, February 17, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – An Australian Christian organization is warning school principals to keep out of a federally funded Safe Schools program that is pitched as anti-bullying but is actually promoting premature sexual activity and transgenderism.
The Australian Christian Lobby says many of the 500 principals who have permitted the Safe Schools program into their schools “are probably not aware of what Safe Schools is really promoting and may be unwittingly acting as agents for rainbow activists.”
“We are in a battle for the innocence of our children,” ACL spokesperson Wendy Francis told LifeSiteNews. The program, which was produced by an alliance of homosexual activist groups, is funded to the tune of $8 million by the federal government. All state governments have made it optional for each school, except for Victoria, which will require all schools to teach it by 2017. The state of Victoria provided initial funding for the Safe Schools Coalition.
Che Ahn: “It’s Time for Bob Jones’ Prophesied Billion-Soul Harvest”
Che Ahn : Feb 16, 2016 : Charisma News
Bob Jones was a crusty, eccentric prophet.
Well before he passed away on Valentine’s Day 2014, Bob gave a prophetic word sharing three signs that would take place before the arrival of a Billion-Soul Harvest.
Back in 1983 in Kansas City, he prophesied:
- that in America a “morning-after pill” would be invented,
- that America would legalize same-sex marriage (which was unthinkable at the time), and
- that a watch would be invented that the laborers working in the rice paddies in China could wear and listen to worship music.
Right now we are in a prophetically unprecedented season, as the second and third signs in Bob’s prophecy took place just last year—most notably with the advent of the Apple Watch.
In this historic season, it’s perfectly clear to me that we are in a time of global harvest.
Young AFL player healed from near death in ICU after prayer
Dear family & friends in Christ,
On Easter Sunday morning when Ps Daniel arrived at church, two of his pastoral team met him at the door and told him that the son of one of the members in church was critical on life support in hospital.
The 15 year old young man had fallen some 6-8 meters onto his back onto the concrete floor. When the mother was informed she rushed to the hospital and was shocked to see her son in coma.
The Doctors told her to expect the worst, but being a believer she did not give up, but instead believed God for a miracle from Jesus.
On Sunday morning around 11am Ps Daniel got the whole congregation to unite in prayer for a miracle healing. He then prayed casting out the spirit of death and called out,
“Ivor come back in Jesus name” while the mother stood beside the bedside of the young man.
Gospel for Asia Awaits Papers as ‘Tens of Thousands’ Could Join Class Action Lawsuit
By Leonardo Blair , Christian Post Reporter – February 12, 2016
With more than a million unique donations being made to Gospel for Asia annually, Monday’s bombshell class action lawsuit against one of the largest missions agencies based in the U.S. could potentially involve no less than “tens of thousands” of plaintiffs and the agency says it’s still waiting to be served.
“While we are more than willing to answer any questions asked of us, it would be irresponsible for us to do so at this time since we have not yet been served any lawsuit.
All we know is what has been posted on the Internet by certain bloggers who have previously misrepresented facts related to Gospel for Asia in a relentless attempt to discredit our ministry,” wrote Daniel Punnose in an email statement to The Christian Post Thursday.
He is listed as a vice president and member of Gospel for Asia’s board of directors as well as the son of the organization’s leader, K.P. Yohannan, in the lawsuit.
Boxing champ Manny Pacquiao defends natural marriage, gets pummelled by Western press
Feb 16, 2016
MANILA, Philippines, February 16, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Eight-time world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao is the target of a Western newsmedia blitz misquoting him as having said that homosexuals were “worse than animals.”
In his homeland Philippines, Pacquiao is a hugely popular sports figure for winning world boxing titles in eight weight classifications, climaxing with the welterweight championship in 2014. In training for a comeback match in the U.S. in May after losing his title last year, a member of the Philippines House of Representative now campaigning for a Senate seat, and born-again Christian, he is now facing “a storm” of criticism, according to British and American news media, for comments on same-sex “marriage.”
“It’s common sense,” the boxer replied to a reporter’s query. “Will you see any animals where male is to male and female is to female? The animals are better. They know how to distinguish male from female. If we approve male on male, female on female then man is worse than animals.”
Wishing you a very Happy Easter Resurrection weekend!
Dear friends & family in Christ,
1) Pastor Daniel, his family & all at CTFM & RUAP would like to wish you all a very Happy Easter Resurrection weekend!
May it be a special time for you as you spend time with your family & friends.
Let’s remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season, as we rejoice in His death & resurrection, bringing life, joy and hope to all mankind!
2) We’re forwarding the following article ‘Criminal on the Cross’ from Billy Graham’s Grandson regarding the true meaning of Easter.
By Will Graham, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association
The cross means different things to different people. For some it’s just a pretty piece of jewellery. To others it’s a decoration for their home. To Christians it is a symbol of the sacrificial love of Christ and His conquering of the grave.
The “Pedophile Grooming Program” – AKA – Safe Schools program Axed in the kindergarten but not the high school
Dear friends & family in Christ,
We’re sharing the following RUAP facebook post for your ongoing prayer and action.
The “Pedophile Grooming Program” – AKA – Safe Schools program Axed in the kindergarten but not the high school.
Please read the following article and celebrate the abolishment of legislation which would have had your innocent young children potentially sexualized and prostituted for the self-serving leftist political agenda of many of our politicians. Note: Children as young as 4 years of age were set to be the victims of sexual indoctrination.

Sen Christensen has spoken on ABC24 and said he is pleased with the outcome, as objectionable material has been removed. Thanks be to God.
This would not have happened if we had not fought for it, and of course 43 courageous MPs. Let us thank them.

Nearly 800 Pastors Describe Their Struggle With Porn
January 27, 2016 – Christianity Today
Barna Group – More than half have wrestled with it, but less than 1 percent recommend telling their congregation.
Most pastors have struggled with porn.
That’s according to an online study of nearly 3,000 adults, teenagers, and pastors by the Barna Group. The study included 432 pastors and 338 youth pastors, and was commissioned by Josh McDowell Ministry and Cru for an April summit.
The study examined pornography’s effect on pastors, churches, the general population, and young people.
“Most pastors (57%) and youth pastors (64%) admit they have struggled with porn, either currently or in the past,” Barna reported. “Overall, 21 percent of youth pastors and 14 percent of pastors admit they currently struggle with using porn.”
