So, God IS alive & well on college campuses...studies show

Lord, Save Us From Your Followers
~
Caught part of an interesting interview on the Today Show this morning...Dan Merchant; a successful Christian writer, Director & Producer has just released a documentary; "Lord, Save us From Your Followers"
His website is found here; http://lordsaveusthemovie.com/
~
It was viewed at Lewis & Clark college, Portland Oregon, (deemed by the Princeton Review College guide, to be one of THE LEAST religious colleges in the USA.)
Upon filling the auditorium to knowingly view a 'religious film', college students at Lewis & Clark 'erupted in applause & were moved by the films' fresh, idealistic vision on how Christ's followers might interact with the rest of the world.'

The following is an article on USA Today's blog, titled;

Thinking & blogging at the same time again...

Hebrews 13:8-10

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today & forever. So do not be attracted to strange, new ideas. Your strength comes from God's grace, not from rules about food, which dont help those who follow them. We have an altar from which the priests in the Tabernacle have no right to eat.

This passage could apply to many situations, one of the points being Christ is the same forever;

>so, sometimes this makes me wonder with saddened agitation as to, 'who' are we, [clay in his hands] to attempt to adjust his words/intentions {to suit our needs/wants}? To use bright big billboard signs & propaganda to mislead others (to their church) through 'subtle' hints about achieving sexual gratification?...~well you know what? When we go to church, most of us dont need or want advice on orgasms; we go to church to worship, hear from Gods word & function as a church family, just another example of getting the church's eyes off the name of God in big bold letters & replacing it with something else in big bold letters (yep, sex should do it) what about focus on learning how to handle/live life in these dark last days? with end times prophecy like the mark of the beast upon us, ppl getting more & more cold, selfish, evil...THATS what Christians are talking about behind closed doors...but cant at their place of worship cause its 'too serious' & 'UNfun' to discuss.
--we should know that God's word is all powerful & concrete enough, without our fruitless, humanistic 'alterations'. You take that concrete truth away & enter chaos & confusion.

Though people are people, all from different backgrounds & cultures, the striking & dramatic contrasts/perceptions that exists among Christians everywhere is no wonder confusing to the onlooking secular world. From pro-homosexual 'Christian' churches to self-declared "Christian" anti-abortion violent-loving hate groups, to church bodies isolated & controlled by legalistic bullies who thrive on using guilt tactics at the pulpit, to the ever-growing bodies of Christians who cross that delicate fine line of the prophetic & enter into a realm of subtle witchcraft operations...its enough to make anyone considering the Christian faith a tad perplexed!

We need balance in our walk with Christ...we always have.
& nothing brings it back like God's word:).; no church, no group, no 'fad', no powerpoint & no 'apparent' prophetic word/vision could EVER pull me away from that again...we his people as a whole need to bring it back to STAY.

spontaneous song

Hallelujah, hallelujah
beyond the rushing waters
ascending mountain crests on skies of blue
flowing into the heavenly places,
my praise is sung to You
~~~~
Hallelujah, hallelujah
~~~
sometimes no words can express like,
hallelujah...
does my heart sing a tune that touches you?
make you smile with love so pure & true,
we'll embrace & dance so free
into forever...
