    Pornography is a big problem in the Christian Church, because it results in Christians who are double-minded - wanting to have one foot in heaven and the other in hell.

The Jewish feasts are like treasure ready to be discovered. Celebrating them opens the door to changing your family's life
forever. They actually are an extension of the life-giving power of Jesus. Let's take a look at the 7 reasons you will want
to make them a permanent part of your life.

1) Awesome displays of God's miracles in the early Church were common UNTIL the middle of the 4th century. They began to
disappear when the Roman emperor Constantine discouraged any connection between the Church and observing the Jewish feasts
at the Council of Nicaea in 325AD. I am suggesting there is a strong relationship between celebrating the feasts and experiencing God's miraculous power in your life.
 
2) I think almost all Christians would agree that God is the author of time. So why would the concept of God having His own
calendar be so strange? He revealed this calendar to the Jewish people, but it's available to you and me. We operate on what is
called the Roman calendar. Hidden in God's calendar are many opportunities for us to experience the fullness of His blessings.
Is it time for you to make room for the Hebrew calendar?

3) A strong start is vital to our success in life. We see this in building a strong foundation for our houses. We see it
in how we plan any new project. God recognized our need for strong beginnings by giving us 13 chances each year to get our
lives on track and KEEP them there. These are called the Firstfruits Celebrations. Through them, you can tap into a new
ability to start strong and rise to the top.

4) Are you overcoming the obstacles you face in life on a regular basis? This may surprise you,  but Scripture is full of
encouragements for us to walk in the power of God. We are called "overcomers", "conquerors", and "dominion-takers." Get ready
to see God's life-changing power operating in your family as you do 1 simple thing. Follow the Lord's instruction of keeping the Sabbath day holy.

5) Celebrating the Jewish feasts is an exciting way to bring your family together and prepare them for the challenges of life.
Today's culture is dividing and weakening our families. The average parent spends 10 minutes of quality time with their
children each day. These feasting times are full of chances to create fun family memories. Families need to learn how to
become teams again and have fun doing it. Your family, not the public school system, is the springboard for your children to
launch off into a successful lives.

6) If anyone has something to celebrate about, it should be Christians. Can others see the celebration going on in your life?
With all the negative stuff going on around us, more family parties are needed. And what's a great party without delicious food? There are many delicious Jewish meals for you to enjoy.

7) You've heard the powerful question in Church circles - What Would Jesus Do? You may have even worn a WWJD bracelet. Well,
would Jesus celebrate the Jewish feasts? Just look at the Gospel accounts and you can see that He did. The better we are
at imitating Jesus, the more successful and joyful we will be in life.

 

Our family has been celebrating the Biblical feasts for years now. Come take a more personal look at how you can start the same life-changing journey for your family through a free mini-course and begin celebrating the
Jewish feasts.

Are you feeling like you're considered Public Enemy No. 1 by groups like Barry Lynn's? Please complicated.
As noted above, those on the left definitely don't like me. A glance at the list of lawsuits with which that group has been concerned, and the kind of issues it condemns, makes clear that it holds a position precisely opposite to that which I hold on many issues. They want no nativity scenes in public ; I do. They oppose voluntary public prayers ; I support them. They attack public displays of 10 Commandments ; I defend them. They oppose priests talking about abortion ( and have even filed legal briefs and action against the pro-life positions of both the Catholic and Lutheran churches ) ; I believe pastors should talk about abortion in the pulpit since the Bible overtly addresses that issue. They want the pulpit to remain silent about leaders and policies that support normal marriage ; I inspire priests to address from the pulpit moral issues and current events related to Biblical principles. They support keeping the IRS concerned in monitoring what pastors say in the pulpit ; I oppose state having any authority over what's announced in the pulpit - even if it is something with which I strongly disagree, either Biblically or socially. Etc, etc, etc . While I do support a jurisdictional separation of church and state, I don't support the forced militant secularization of the public square that AU seeks. There's a gigantic difference between our convictions, and it is therefore unsurprising that they view me as they do.
A great disappointment to me about them ( and other similar groups ) isn't just that they hold a different view ( that is accepted and accepted ) ; the huge let down is the lengths to which they are going to attack me specifically and purposely to falsify reports about me. Apparently we really have records of those involved with AU who left the group simply due to the way AU purposely mischaracterized me ( charging that I make up history, for example. In my case, AU is not content to battle on the field of ideas but they sadly appear to think that they can prevail only if they invoke a disingenuous approach. When and why did you start WallBuilders?
As I started to read those early supreme court calls, I discovered that earlier Courts had ruled on plenty of the same issues we faced today ( e.g, Bible in schools, porno, religious expressions, and so on. That decision was written by Justice Joseph Story ( called a'Father of American Jurisprudence ), placed on the Court by James Madison ( called the'Architect of the Constitution' ) - actually no legal lightweights.
As I checked out the early decisions, I found the courts citing from works and individuals with whom I was totally unfamiliar - such as Judge Wilson and his Commentaries on the Law. In 1789, he was made an original Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court by President George Washington. While sitting on the Court, Judge Wilson started the first arranged legal coaching in America and wrote America's first student textbooks on law.

About David Barton

Today, the protection for the rights of conscience now appear in forty-seven state constitutions. The President's call to rescind these protections places him in direct opposition to four centuries of America's civic and religious leaders. Please share this info with buddies and motivate them to contact their elected officers, prompting them to save conscience protection for medical employees.
Protection for the rights of conscience is only one more reason that Biblical Christianity is so worthwhile to a culture and why its elements must be saved in regime policy. God Bless!

Rick Green and David Barton explain that Many major internet sites and encyclopedias identify the 4th of July as “America’s largest religious holiday,” and the compendium outlines “secular” as “pertaining to things that aren’t regarded as non secular or sacred.” the events leading in to America’s birthday were anything except temporal. As George Washington recognized, “The hand of Providence has been so conspicuous in all this that he has got to be worse than an infidel that lacks religion, and
