DISTRACTIONS, DISTRACTIONS
I made a number of people mad with my piece a few days ago, “Can Patriotism Be Idolatry?” I have always found that this is by far the “riskiest” topic that I can ever bring up. One guy even asked if I “hate America”. I replied that I truly love America and love it’s people. In fact, it is one of my topmost favorite nations in the world. My brother lives there. My nephews live there. I love America! But that was certainly not the issue in my article.

It is with sadness and great sorrow that a number of Ugandans perished on July 11th 2010 as a result of terrorist attacks that Somalia's Al Shabab Terror group has claimed responsibility. As of writing this, the death toll is 90 people dead including scores of those injured. Among the dead include Ugandan Nationals, Born Again Christians, and even an American Missionary from the United States.

Act 11:26 Commentary
One of the characteristics of the early Church was that she was known for her following in the steps of Jesus Christ both in character and word, that those who observed her could not hold back on referring to the followers of Christ as 'Christians'.

What the Bible Says About Christians and Political Leadership
Dominionism and Political Christianity are false doctrines that are going to put many ignorant Christians on the side of the Antichrist rule that is bound to eternal punishment. These Christians believe that NOW is the time to takeover the governments and rule for Christ. BEWARE-This is not sound doctrine.

Commentary on Act 8:1-4   
The Church today especially in the West enjoys enormous amounts of material prosperity that by 2000 alone, US Evangelicals had made 2.6 Trillion Dollars in income, unprecedented in Church History. [1] Therefore the virtue of enduring sufferings for Christ's sake has totally been neglected and replaced with teachings that promise total health and wealth for the believer while on earth.

In his defense and oral treatise, Stephen in the Book of Acts employs the term 'church' in his description of the children of Israel in the wilderness under the leadership of Moses. The children of Israel seemed not to have been aware of the 'separation' and 'coming out' that The Lord intended for  the  'church' in the wilderness and thus the longing for a return to Egypt.

If the Fear of God is not evident in the Church,then how do we expect the world to fear God? The Contemporary Church of our day has drastically lost the True Fear of The Lord that what we have is instead a fear of man. Yet the contrast was quite true and a reality in the early New Testament Church, The Fear of The Lord was present.

With profoundness, the first mention of the term 'Church' in the Book of Acts has to do with The Lord adding  members daily to the early Church. Again we notice the consistency with which The Lord takes ownership and care of His Church to add daily those who should be saved.

Interestingly, the second time Jesus Christ mentions the word 'Church' He used it in regards to Church Spiritual Discipline and Accountability. The Church was the place for believers to hold each other accountable and by keeping to the lifestyle and teachings of Jesus Christ.

Is the Church  of Jesus Christ a building, an organization, an empire, or a people separate and consecrated to Him? Man has tried to turn the Church of Jesus Christ into an institution but we take a look at some scriptures that speak about the Church in the New Testament.

For the past year or so, the USA has witnessed a very intense debate on Health Care Coverage for her citizens. There has been fierce opposition to Health Care Coverage by the Republican Party, the Tea Bag Movement, and some Evangelical Christians.

Recent news has been flooded with stories of sexual abuse, pedophilia, and the cover-up inside the Catholic Church in Ireland, Germany, and other parts of Europe. What made matters worse and more interesting was the cover-up that involved the current Pope of the Catholic Church.

Some Christians claim that any correction or questioning of ministries should always be done PRIVATELY - and only to the leaders concerned - never in public. (It is important to note that many such approaches have indeed been made to Prophetic/ Apostolic leaders over the years. They have basically been ignored).

This past week saw one of America's popular conservative Radio and TV Talk Show host and one of the forerunners of the Tea  Bag Party Movement, Glen Beck, lecture the Church of Jesus Christ concerning Social and Economic Justice.

How can one talk of exponential growth of the Christian population when it is said that 80% believe in Prosperity Gospel in Africa (in fact it is the reason of conversion ) ? How can one talk of the shift of Christendom in numbers to Africa when Western Christianity,the brand that is in Africa has turned the West into an agnostic society ?
