A pathetic excuse for a prayer, before a NASCRAP race that was near Nashville, Tennessee:

Kenneth Copeland’s heresy

Brian McKay — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 16:19:29 +0000

In Panama City Rescue Mission, I just heard Kenneth Copeland, on his television show, Believer’s Voice of Victory, on Trinity Broadcasting Network, claim:

“Jesus laid aside His deity and His godliness to become man.“

So … Jesus the Christ, who said that He and the Father are One, and who was crucified then rose from death wasn’t divine?

~SUCH A RIDICULOUS, OLD HERESY~

Anyone who would claim this should not claim to be a Christian disciple and should not televise his heresy on a “Christian” television network.

Human impossibility amplifies God’s glory.

When we are up against the wall, when our resources are gone and our hope is dwindling and the odds are mounted high all around us, God gets to step in. – wisdom from Jon Acuff, excerpted from his weblog, Stuff Christians Like

Irish monasticism

The first Celtic monasteries were merely settlements where the priests and laity, men, women, and children — lived together as a clan. Later, actual monasteries of monks and nuns were formed, and later the cloistered life was developed. The desire for extreme austerity, in contrast to licentious hedonism of continental Europe, has been a hallmark of Irish monasticism to today. The eremitical life was regarded as the height of monasticism, and the means of perfection have been austerity, poverty, obedience, celibacy, fasting, prayer vigils, and hard work.

Irish monks are famous for preserving literature, history, and philosophy from ancient civilizations in Asia Minor and Europe by copying and translating ancient documents and literature in addition to copying contemporary manuscripts of various genres. In the Dark Ages, the monastic scribes preserved Western history in their scriptoria by diligently copying by hand, with quill and ink, borrowed and acquired scrolls and books.

Irish monks and friars have also gained renown by leaving their cloisters to re-evangelize continental Europe and proselytize in Africa and the Americas.

God wants to help us as we grow toward wholeness.. We have to meet Him half way, and we do that by using to the fullest the tools He’s given us. Then He will indeed give what is needed and fill in what is lacking.
So check your “business plan” first and assure yourself that you’ve used everything that God put in your tool box. Then pray. You’ll be amazed at how God helps those who help themselves. — Father Paul Pecchie

Our religious practices are means to an end and only that, and they have legitimacy only to the extent that they help us build a pure and trusting heart that does the deeds of love.
This brings us to today’s question: Are you just hanging out or hiding in your church and your religious practices? Or are you being transformed? Is your heart being reshaped or are you just treading water? – Father Paul Pecchie
