this Jesus Walk 2012 -- Shepherds Heart Bible Study: What does Easter Really Mean? Discover what Easter really means to Christians - Don't let the secular world "steal" this holiest of holidays from you! Grow closer to Your Lord by Giving Easter By shepherds-heart-bible-study.com Published On :: In today's secular world, Easter earns millions of dollars for marketing companies - some of which are Christian companies. (Think Lifeway!) Pastel colored eggs, candies, and baskets scream "Buy Me!" from the supermarket shelves. The all-important "Easter Bunny" springs forth seducing kids and parents into a market-driven frenzy of eggs, chocolate, and giving gifts. What's missing? The real meaning of the Christian Easter Holiday! Where's Jesus in all of this? -- Before I became a Christian, Easter was just another holiday. I knew it was about Jesus, but I didn't really care. I often skipped church on Easter, preferring to stay home. After all, if I didn't love God during the rest of the year, why "fake it" by showing up in a suit one day out of the year - hoping the pastor would count me as one of the redeemed? But . AFTER I became a Christian, Easter took on a whole new meaning. Why shouldn't it? I mean, I LOVE Jesus. He lives within me. Easter became a special day of celebrating Jesus' victory over hell, death, and the grave. -- If I love Jesus and worship Him, then Easter becomes such a special day! Yet why do I see such apathy in other Christians when it come to celebrating the resurrection of our Lord? -- Why? I think it has to do with our culture, and how over-marketed we are. Everywhere we turn we're bombarded with messages to buy something. Every holiday has it's own theme, and Easter is no exception. Pastel colors bombard the eyes. Decorations are sold in most major department stores. I've even seen people put up "Easter trees" ... Just like a Christmas tree, but with eggs for ornaments. Why do Christians even fall for this? I mean, shouldn't we be "in the world, and not OF the world?" This is an important question, and I think the reason why most Christians give short shrift to Easter is because they don't want to face up to 3 basic truths of Christianity. -- As a pastor, I have heard the critique of my ministry that I spend too much time in the New Testament, and not enough time in the old. Fair enough. I do spend time in the New Testament. Part of that has to do with the fact that when I took a good hard look at Berean Baptist Church where I'm the shepherd, I came to the conclusion that as a church, we needed a fresh vision of who Jesus was. But just as a jeweler sets a diamond against a black velvet cloth to show it's luster, Christ makes the most sense to us when we see him in the grand perspective of our need of a savior. What are these 3 spiritual truths that we must embrace as Christians? ... Full Article - Basic Christian Christian Study
this Holiness Legacy E-Newsletter March 2012: Welcome to this March issue of the Holiness Legacy eNewsletter - I hope you are enjoying this monthly publication - If you are finding it to be a blessing [to] you please find the "Forward email" link at By holinesslegacy.com Published On :: Today there is much confusion about preaching holiness. In many churches where I preach holiness, people will come and say, "Wow, that was a great sermon. We have not had a holiness sermon preached here for a long time." Then when I talk to the pastor, he or she will say, "I preach holiness every Sunday." One pastor said, "I can't believe it, I preach holiness every Sunday, they just don't recognize it." -- Well, what could be the problem? Could it be that there has been such a reaction against the legalistic [i.e. 7th Kingdom (wordly, self focus) of this world] approach of preaching holiness that we have moved into another one-sided fad? I remember a sermon against cowboy boots because wearing them would make the person proud. There was a time when two trips to the altar was the norm with little focus on a relationship with Christ or a life to be disciplined. There was more of a focus on legalistic rules to follow, most of them in the negative. -- Today we hear life sermons. They emphasize how to live first, but there is not much emphasis on the divine work of grace to empower and enable one to live a holy life. Could it be that the time is right for us to bring the two approaches together? We need the message of living a holy life, but we need to receive the divine experience and be filled with the Holy Spirit who gives us the grace to live out God's plan for holy living. -- We can't live a holy life alone in our own power. Yes, we can discipline ourselves, but it is always with an inner struggle. God put in place a plan for us to to be set free from the bent toward sin. We need the kind of doctrinal preaching that will lead people to receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit so they can have a holy relationship with a holy God. Let's use the Biblical terms like Sanctification [8th Kingdom - The Eternal Kingdom of Jeus Christ] so people will understand them when they read about them in the Word. There has never been a greater need for the church to preach the wonderful message of [8th Kingdom] holiness. Let's proclaim it! ~ Dr. Louie E. Bustle - President, Holiness Legacy - www.holinesslegacy.com -- {Note: The Holiness movement has a history of men and women being Servant Leaders and in that capacity both men and women have pastored as servants representing Holiness pulpits to the congregation. But especially in this day and age it is not wise to let another person male or female have authority over you and sincerely a diverse and capable group of elders, leaders and mentors can and should have an equally or even a more significant impact on Christian and spiritual matters both for the group and for individuals.} Full Article Christian Study - Basic Christian
this Jesus Walk 2012 -- Bible verse: Psalms 118:19-29 ... Open to me the gates of righteousness [the resurrection of Jesus Christ]: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. I will praise thee By www.ChristianFaithDownloads.com Published On :: Psalms 118:19-29 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

Blessed be He (Jesus) that cometh in the Name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the House of the LORD. God is the LORD, which hath shewed us [resurrection - sunrise] light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

this This joke was nominated for best joke of the year By sunsetblog.blogspot.com Published On :: Sun, 20 Mar 2011 16:38:00 +0000 This joke was nominated for best joke of the year.A Russian arrives in New York City as a new immigrant to the United States He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank you Mr. American for letting me into this country, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and a free education!" The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am a Mexican.." The man goes on and encounters another passerby. "Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America ." The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese." The new arrival walks farther, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand, and says, "Thank you for wonderful America !" That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Middle East . I am not American." He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an American?" She says, "No, I am from Africa ." Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the Americans?" The African lady checks her watch and says, "Probably at work." Full Article
this This one you want your Children and Grandchildren to read. By sunsetblog.blogspot.com Published On :: Sat, 07 May 2011 20:41:00 +0000 Thought you'd enjoy this one!This one you want your Children and Grandchildren to read.They won’t believe this happened, but it DID.Harry & BessThis seems unreal..... Harry Truman was a different kind of President. He probably made as many, or more, important decisions regarding our nation's history as any of the other 42 Presidents preceding him. However, a measure of his greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House.The only asset he had when he died was the house he lived in, which was in Independence Missouri . His wife had inherited the house from her mother and father and other than their years in the White House, they lived their entire lives there.When he retired from office in 1952, his income was a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year. Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and personally licking them, granted him an 'allowance' and, later, a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year.After President Eisenhower was inaugurated, Harry and Bess drove home to Missouri by themselves. There was no Secret Service following them.When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined, stating, "You don't want me. You want the office of the President, and that doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the American people and it's not for sale.."Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, he refused to accept it, writing, "I don't consider that I have done anything which should be the reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise."As president he paid for all of his own travel expenses and food.Modern politicians have found a new level of success in cashing in on the Presidency, resulting in untold wealth. Today, many in Congress also have found a way to become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their offices. Political offices are now for sale. (e.g. Illinois )Good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed, "My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference!I say dig him up and clone him!! He was born May 8 1884This is not sent for discussion. Full Article

this This Is What a Great Book Does to Your Brain By www.small-business-software.net Published On :: Mon, 5 Nov 2018 16:12:33 -0400 Books can make us smarter, more informed, even more intellectually humble. But one of the most powerful benefits of regular reading is greater empathy. Through words you are transported to another's perspective. You look through their eyes. You understand their pain and their joy. That can relieve loneliness and make life a whole lot more pleasant, but it's also good for business. Understanding customers and collaborators helps you get more done and be more creative. So how exactly do books accomplish this magic trick? On Lit Hub recently Tufts University professor of child development and reading expert Maryanne Wolf explained the fascinating neuroscience of exactly what immersion in a good book does to your brain. complete article Full Article

this This Week's Idiot Award By dailyfisk.blogspot.com Published On :: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 19:35:00 -0800 I'm a Neo-Nothing: Last Friday, fallen neo-conservative blogger (and wannabe journalist) Ben Domenech (who was fired for plagiarism just hours after being recruited by the Washington Post) said: "To my friends: thank you for your support.

That embarrassing episode has left a stain on the entire blogosphere and only proves what the Fisk has been saying all along. So I'll raise Domenech's ante by saying that I take enormous pride in being a neo-nothing, 'cause to be neo-anything is to be a (not so neo) IDIOT.

this Don't Get Caught In This Trap By work-from-home-success.blogspot.com Published On :: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 06:03:00 +0000 I received an email a few days ago from a former memberof my organization asking if I was still a member of mycurrent company to which I replied "But of course!"I asked him to tell me a little bit about why he leftand why he wanted to return so that I could figure outa proper sponsor for him.His reply email resembled what I think happens to many.He went of and tried other internet marketing businessmodels with some success, but not to the level that hehad envisioned and he realized that the income he wascreating was not as leveraged as that which networkmarketing provides and so . . . he's back searching.Some of the details I've left out, but a story withlots of twists and turns, hard work and small rewardsall leading back to one path - network marketing.In his reply email he said "Now that I've revealed mystory to you, GIVE me someone to work with so that Ican decide if I want to return."To this I have not responded yet and the reason isthis, I'm not convinced that this particular person isreally looking to rejoin for the right reasons or ifhe's just looking for something that can produce anincome.It's dangerous to begin an association with anybusiness solely for money, it rarely works out.For network marketing to work for you, you must have aconnection to your company and it's products that isBIGGER than how much money you can make or you'll lackthe focus needed for true breakthrough success.Make sure you see more than just dollar signs when youlook at your business if you want it to work. Trueexcitement and enthusiasm should be present whenmarrying yourself to an opportunity.Sometimes this is apparent from the outside andsometimes it grows on you, but if you're in a businessfor an extended period of time and the only thing youcan talk to prospects about is how much money they canmake you're in the wrong place.Tomorrow I'm going to be discussing the principles ofdirect marketing for internet network marketing, atopic I've never really seen discussed, be on thelookout.There is an extremely limited time offer going on rightbelow you're noses.

this Today Is That Day . . . (Open This NOW!!!) By work-from-home-success.blogspot.com Published On :: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 12:50:00 +0000 I've heard the cries from the team and I can't hold themback any longer. It's time to do all over again, and it'stime to do it even better.Let's take it up a notch with a team Co-op!I am excited about this month's, but this month isdifferent.Why?I already now the exact formula for HUGE success in runninga team co-op, and this month I get to push the envelop evenfurther!Just read this email and you'll see what I mean!Ok guys, it's time to quit playing around.Our business is growing by leaps and bound.So, it's time to pull together as a team and do it again!The best way to do this is through a massive advertisingcampaign and the best time to do it is NOW.Let me give you a little history behind why I started theteam co-op:I've spoken to and helped trained 100s of people over thepast year and I know not all of you on the team have theexpertise to run your business online at the same level thatI and a couple of our team leaders can.Month's back we started a co-op to help bridge this gap inmarketing expertise so that every member of our team thathas the drive, but maybe not the marketing skill at thistime can get in on the action too.How will the co-op work?Each member of the co-op will purchase a share.Our team leaders will locate and investigate the best placesto run our advertisements and then we will place the ads.Once the ad runs, each member of the team who purchases ashare in the co-op will receive their EQUAL share of thetraffic produced.What are the advantages of having an ad co-op?The advantage of this is that we will be able to leveragethe experience and knowledge of those who are doing well asan entire team.I personally sponsored 85 team members so far, and I want touse my knowledge and track record of success to help giveyou a jump-start towards doing the same.Think what happens when we combine my track record ofsuccess with a much larger budget in a way that everyone onthe team can take advantage of?Well that's what the co-op is all about - shared success.I want everyone on our team to have the opportunity toachieve financial freedom through their business.This ad co-op is a powerful step in that direction. (Andreally . . . it get's better ever single month)Two other big benefits of the ad co-op . . .1. Spreading risk: By doing our advertising as a team no onewill be at the mercy of one bad ad. What I mean is . . . Ifyou're out there placing ads alone and you spend $80 on onead that just tanks your $80 in the whole. On the other hand,if you put you ad dollars into our co-op your risk will bespread over several ads so you will have more upsidepotential and less overall risk.2. Your prospects will love the fact that we have anadvertising co-op and many will be happy to have the optionto simply have us do all their advertising for them. Thiswill be a great benefit to point out while prospecting.The specifics for this month:What I'll do first is re-evaluate my best ad spots fromlast month and then our team leaders and I will simple turnthe traffic back on and start generating traffic from thesesources immediately.The benefit of doing this is that we already know that thesead spots have a track record for success, so we know thatthese ads will do well.This means we'll get a higher response rate per dollar spentfrom the outset. (Using our team co-op funds effectively andefficiently is the key to our success)Here is where it gets exciting!This aspect of the co-op will be partially known as a"Perpetual Co-op"Here's why . . .In my marketing of our business I have found that I generatethe best quality of leads and new team members throughpeople that join my business by buying one of my informationproducts first and then being exposed to the business.These people have raised there hand and said that they areinterested in improving how they promote their networkmarketing business using the power of the Internet by thesimple fact that they purchased from me.When these people subsequently join they are businessbuilders and not just business lookers. Further, inpromoting an Info Product online I have been able togenerate lists of targeted subscribers that know and trustme.Who better to shoot a quick email to invite them to join ourteam?When I send email like this to my own lists generated bypromoting a front end product I have my highest conversionratio of lead to sign up compared against any other onlinemethod I have ever used.Why?Because in this model instead of borrowing someone else'slist of subscriber for a one time ad I'm able to create myown list that I can develop a relationship with and marketto whenever I want.That's true leverage. (And it works big time!)As a team we can do far more advertising than I canpersonally do as one person and hence we can recruit manymore high quality team members than I can as one personusing this method.The largest benefits of this is that the sales that aregenerated will ADD to the initial co-op marketing budget.That's why I call this portion of the co-op a "Perpetual Co-op".To make it simple:It means more leads, better leads, and higher conversionsfor everyone involved.Let's take this to the next level!As you can see, your team leaders are out here working hardfor you. I've personally never been involved in a co-op asextensive as ours and this has already set us apart from therest of the crowd.I am proud to be able to serve the team in such a fashion.Everyone who participates in the ad co-op will get one shareas I discussed earlier and we will disperse the trafficequally via a URL rotator so everyone will get an equalamount of traffic per share.When leads fill out your opt in page you just follow up viaemail or phone with your prospect and when they sign upunder you, you get the credit!That's using leverage if you asked me!The reason that I am putting this co-op together is I wantto insure our team's success. As I said before I want tohelp as many as I can attain financial freedom here withSuccess UniversityGuys and gals I'm throwing out all the stops!My heart is beating so fast just thinking of what's to come!I will only ever see success in our future and you have myword that I will NEVER give up on you as long as you don'tgive up on your dreams.There is absolutely NO reason why we cannot be the fastestgrowing team here at Success University for years to come!In order to make this co-op run successfully I am looking Iam putting a cap on the number of shares.This month we will take no more than 50 shares at $80share. Each participant may purchase up to but NO MORE THANTHREE shares this month up until that cap is met.This will keep results consistent and targeted by limitingour shares in this way.Get your share now to share in our team's success.You may use a tracking link this month to track yourprogress if you like. Also you may purchase up to 3 sharesbut NO more! (Just reminding you . . .)Use the links below to reserve your share!http://mlm-successsite.com/training/Coop%20Program.html[Team Exclusive] IMPORTANT!!!I will leave our team co-op window for enrolment until allavailable shares are sold or for one week at the most!http://mlm-successsite.com/training/Coop%20Program.htmlTo Your Success!John Full Article Ad Coop Internet Marketing Training Traffic Genereration
this This Can Have You Scratching Your Head By work-from-home-success.blogspot.com Published On :: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 20:04:00 +0000 It was a late night last night of updating andimproving and in the process of doing that it got methinking . . .An online business, and even more so an internetnetwork marketing business, can really get youscratching your head sometimes.We're conditioned to think in a linear fashion. Dothis and get that result is really how we think.Work 40 hours a week and get paid for 40 hours ofwork. It's how we grew up and for most of us it'show we were conditioned to think about our results inlife.When it comes to business this isn't always the case,and really most of the time it's not the case.Business is not a linear thing.Just yesterday I was sitting at my computerscratching my head.4 people joined my business directly with me as theirsponsor in the last 2 days. Not something tocomplain about, after all I am the king of nevercalling a single lead and that's the way things workmost of the time in my business, but this time it wasa little different.You see during that period I had absolutely no adsrunning for my business and still 4 people joinedwith me as their sponsor without me having to do athing, meanwhile my first year in the business allI did was prospect and call leads and nothing happened.Why is it so easy now?Well, once you have passive traffic coming your waygood things happen and you don't have to doanything additional actively for those good results.But this can get people confused. I know it did forme for a long time. Some days would be great withlittle effort and some days would be not so greatwith a Herculean effort.What the heck right?That's business for you. It's not linear. You set itup and once you get all the pieces in placesometimes the results flow like the mighty Amazon andothers well just one lead would keep you going.This shift stunts most. They still want to think thattheir efforts should correlate directly to theirresults and when it doesn't it frustrated the heck ofthem. The best advice is settle down, know yourconversion figures, and just keep on pushing.Let me tell you . . .If you have a great marketing system, you're doingthe right things for generating interest in yourbusiness via your marketing system you're on theright track despite what the results show.They will exceed your expectations in the long run.Think about your business like this. It's more likehaving a boat tethered to port by several ropesthan going to the J.O.B.You may spend a huge effort getting one rope off andyou've made progress, but there is still 8 moreropes to go and nothings moving.You've made positive progress and you know it, justdon't let money be the only marker of your successin the beginning.That will come.What if you could make a living online? How wouldyou're life change? What would you do? I took thiscourse and that dream has become a reality in my lifeand because it I recommend it as a MUST have forany truly interested.
