Right now Internet Explorer is down for some reason, but fortunately I have Mozilla, which is working.
I have discovered the wonderful world of podcasts. Our church's Sunday sermons are now posted on I tunes and can be downloaded and then from there I can get them into my MP3. I also like KCM.org. Kenneth Copeland has been very important to my spiritual growth from the start of my walk with God.
Tribute to Kenneth Copeland: Shortly after salvation, I was in Clovis New Mexico and was able to get a hold of Copeland teachings. My faith was built by him teaching me how to trust in God and His Word. (I know there are critics, in fact I've discovered in my 27 years as a Christian, that there are some people around who make it their mission in life to run down the ministries of those who are out on the front lines. Shame on them. Pharisees of the modern age, not helping people get to heaven or get delivered from their problems; just criticizing those who are out there doing it. Remember the pharisees who criticized Jesus when he healed on the Sabbath, they're the same sort. Run, do not walk, away from "ministers of criticism", who've never lifted a hand to get someone saved or healed or delivered from their afflictions; but only major on the minors.)
Kenneth Copeland can be depended upon to build your faith in Christ, to teach you to trust in the Lord and the Word of God.

A Russian Prophet; Solovyov
http://www.christendom-awake.org/pages/soloviev/biffi.html. I have been alerted to the Prophet Solovyov who prior to his death in 1900 predicted much of the turmoil taking place in Europe, and Europe's decline into accepting the Anti-Christ. No Catholic I, but I have read some of Cardinal Biffi's writings (link above), and am struck by Solovyov's description of the decline of Europe, and his prediction that the Anti-Christ would be "an admirable philanthropist, a committed, active pacifist, a practicing vegetarian, a determined defender of animal rights. He will not be hostile "in principle" to Christ. Indeed, he will appreciate Christ's teaching. But he will reject the teaching that Christ is unique, and will deny that Christ is risen and alive today." Biff contrasts the ideals of the day as
"The mental attitudes prevalent today, even among many ecclesially active and knowledgeable Christians, are very far indeed from Soloviev's vision of reality. Among many, here are a few examples:
* egoistic individualism, which is ever more profoundly leaving its mark on our behaviors and laws;
* moral subjectivism, which leads people to hold that it is licit and even praiseworthy to assume positions in the legislative and political spheres different from the behavioral norms one personally adheres to;
* pacifism and non-violence ... confused with the Gospel ideals of peace and fraternity to the point of surrendering to tyranny and abandoning the weak and the good to the powerful;
* a theological view which, out of fear of being labeled reactionary, forgets the unity of God's plan, renounces spreading divine truth in all spheres, and abdicates the attempt to live out a coherent Christian life."
Ever more we should pray for the Church and oppose narcissism, moral subjectiveism, pacifism which won't oppose tyranny, fear of men, and political correct speech and thought control which denies the absolute truth of the gospel.

The Lord's Desire in My Heart
Psalm 37: 3. Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
4 Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. We discussed this verse in our Reunion Group (Emmaus Small Group) this morning. I had always read it that if I delighted myself in the Lord, he would give what I desired. My friend Dana said he had a revelation that it really means that if we delight ourselves in the Lord, He will put His desires into our heart. How powerful is that? I would much rather have God's desire in my heart than my own desire. My prayer is: " Lord God Almighty, help me to delight in you and place your desires in my heart. May I desire what you desire. In Jesus Name. Amen"
