Viva la France!

France, the country known for love, wine, art, and exquisite cuisine is on the verge of civil war. Radical Islamists have seized parts of the country and our persecuting the native people. These persecutions range from racist comments to physical violence and harm. In response to this threat, organizations have been created to train young Frenchmen and Frenchwomen to be on the alert and to defend themselves. It seems that history is indeed repeating itself. For France long before it became the destination of decadence, was a pious land full of devout Christians. It was from the Rhineland, Languedoc, and eventually Paris that knights took up arms in the cause of holy war and became crusaders. It is St. Louis IX, King of France, who remains the most renowned and famous monarch to ever "take the cross," and go on crusade.

Now militant Muslims have invaded France, the former heartland of crusaders. Civil unrest threatens to tare the country apart as sectarianism and factionalism takes hold. Perhaps this is God's design to bring a country that has been godless back to God centered. Maybe, this invasion of extremist Muslims will reignite the former fervor and devotion to Christ that once was commonplace in the land of the Lily.

This is a time to pray for the French. To pray that the Lord will stir the hearts of the French people to turn back to Jesus and cease walking on the road of perdition. Too long have the descendants of the Franks been deceived by delights and diversions. It is time for the Oriflamme to be dusted off and for French natives to "take the cross" once more and bring not the infidel to the sword, but bring salvation to their country! Let them ring the bells of St. Denis Cathedral again with the resounding worship of the French faithful! Too long have the Franks been wandering the wilderness. Too long have they forgotten their God and chosen to worship the image of man and the fleeting desires of the flesh. Take up the Cross and the Oriflamme! Purge the sin and then if the Saracen seeks you harm, expel them from your lands! You cannot fight radical Islam without faith! Your war is against more than people, it is against principalities and powers in the unseen realm!

St. Joan of Arc
What France needs is not factionalism or another revolution, it needs faith! Faith in Jesus Christ which once made you great! Have you forgotten what the saints did for you? St. Jeanne D'Arc is the reason your blessed country exists! Had she not listened to the voices of God and the saints, you would be like Scotland and Ireland, under English rule! God saved you then! He can save you again! He can give you the wisdom to deal with this crisis if you will turn from your hedonistic ways and let your heart return to Christ! This is chance for France to become a proud nation again! To not be labeled an indifferent and lukewarm people who prefer to shirk from conflict. Once you were the most courageous people! You once accomplished the impossible! It can be again! You can move mountains, but only if you repent and return to Christ Jesus!

Remind the world of what made you a great people. Let us remember the chevalier side of your culture! Let the inspirations of old draw up again and the humanism that has allowed harm to come to your country be buried! It is time to be reborn! It is time for spiritual revival! Will you bare the banner of St. Louis and St. Joan of Arc again? Will you return to your God?

The Potrait of Jesus: What Christ Looked Like

What was Jesus’s appearance? Pseudo-historians at National Geographic and other publications argue that Jesus’ humanity was of Arab or African descent. This is impossible because Jesus our God was Son of David according to His flesh, “He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord (God),” (Romans 1:2-4), and King David was described as the following, “So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy [red, ruddy, from the word admowniy {ad-mo-nee'}; from 'adam ; reddish of the hair or the complexion red, ruddy], with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he. So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came ...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Orthodox Christianity and Messianic Judaism

There is a divide between the two sides of Christianity. One is lined by a rosary, the other with tallit (prayer shawl). In the west we tend to come from a Greco-Roman understanding of The Bible and Jesus Christ. We are saturated with images of the Crucifixion and see through the red lens of Calvary. Now The Messianic or Jewish perspective is becoming more prevalent as people begin to study the roots of the Christian faith. After all, Jesus was a Jew and his Twelve Disciples were all Jews of different sects and positions in society. By studying the Jewish roots of Jesus we come to understand the ancient customs, practices, rites, and traditions that are featured in the Old and New Testaments. We learn in Jewish tradition that a Rabbi had to be ordained by two rabbis and that when Jesus was asked, "by who's authority do you say these things?, (Luke 20:2)" the Pharisees were asking who had ordained Jesus and where he got his yoke (teachings), and Jesus responds, "wh...
