The Purpose of Prayer

The line from Casting Crowns song is haunting, "What if people prayed?" Today, many Christians barely allot five minutes a day to pray. More and more saints have ceased offering supplication on a routine basis. This is a shame because prayer is the way we connect with Christ. Prayer is an double-edged sword. It is meant to open our hearts to our Heavenly Father and hew down the evil hordes in the spiritual realm. The devil and his legions hate when Christians pray. Prayer is power, it is capable of thwarting the enemy camp and changing our circumstances. Through prayer believers can receive boons from above, but more importantly prayer can change us. Prayer is broken down into different dynamics. The first dynamic is confession , which can be repenting or telling the Lord what weights on your heart and mind. The second is supplication, which is a petition or to humbly ask God for something. The third is praise , which can be sung as an act of thanksgiving or gratefulnes

The Ire of Islam

The Arab Spring will become the Christian Purge. Islam is rising and it is taking the United States and the World! At the present moment it is operating via ideology and theology, but soon it shall turn more militant and many believers and unbelievers will perish. Islam is not a peaceful religion. Secular-Progressives and Humanist-Marxists would have you believe that these Muslims only believe in j ihad-al-akbar (The greater Jihad of becoming God centered, purging the flesh (sin) or purifying the soul). However, a l-jihad-al-asghar (the lesser jihad), the Jihad of the Sword, is intrinsic to the belief system of the Faithful in Islam. The House of Peace (Islam) cannot live in perpetual peace with the House of War (Jews, Christians, and Everyone Else). The Q'uran or Koran has not one, but many verses that command mujahidden (holy warriors) to slay the infidel: "Allah is an enemy to unbelievers." - Sura 2:98 "On unbelievers is the curse of Allah." - Sura

Jurasic Park 3D Review

Twenty years ago Steven Spielberg stunned the world with his epic  Jurassic Park . I remember being a four years old, obsessed with dinosaurs, and going to the movie house to see Jurassic Park for the first time. My parents had previewed the film and deemed it appropriate for my age (although there were scenes where I had to close my eyes, one in particular with a lawyer on a toilet before the T-Rex). I saw Jurassic Park so many times as child that I can only recollect five viewings in detail. Suffice to say, Spielberg's masterpiece captivated me and like most young boys I mastered the sounds of the Velociraptors and T-Rex. Now twenty years later, Jurassic Park is back on the big screen. This time in 3D. I must confess I was rather cynical about seeing my favorite film in 3D. I've only seen one other movie in 3D and I wasn't impressed. My eyes couldn't track the action and everything was blurred. This was not the case for Jurassic Park 3D. Right away from the open
