Bringing About Decent Television

Let's fix television programming. We can do it. Let's boycott advertisers who air their ads on raunchy shows like The Family Guy, American Dad, and whatever other perverted raunchy shows - oh and let's not forget the shows with gratuitous violence. Here is a link to a list of advertisers' contact information http://www.parentstv.org/PTC/advertisers/main.asp . Let's boycott and let the advertisers know so they yank advertising to avoid a revenue loss.
Also, let's pressure cable companies and satellite companies to offer family friendly packages of channels so Americans who buy into that won't subsidize the raunchy, violent programming on the air waves. How do we do that?
Well, you can fill out a survey at http://www.parentstv.org/boone/Pat-Boone-Survey.aspx , and Pat Boone will share the views with some powers that be in the industry.
Next will be a "blog" that shows evidence why this programming is bad for our brain and society. Stay tuned.

Persecuted Christians

Some of the world still persecutes Christians. Indonesia, China, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, India, Columbia, Chiapas, and more tolerate harrasment, abuse, and murder of Christians. Persecution.com has evidence.
Why don't more churches talk about this? Why isn't there more exposure in the "mainstream" media? Why don't we write letters to ambassadors of these countries and put pressure on these countries to stop?
I believe if we started groups of people writing letters to those in prison, sending care packages, and pressuring countries to stop more than we do now, there will be a change. Also, people will realize more that it takes more courage to be a Christian than to not be one, and that the freedoms in this country, especially of religious liberty, is to be protected and cherished.
As for taking action by writing to the people in prison for their faith and sending care packages, I do that. Now for those letters...

Introduction

Finally I'll be on the web in more than an email fashion. There are so many ways to express ourselves (me and whoever is reading this). It's about time I start using the web more.

Well, I hope this blog helps you understand that God loves you lots, He is real, and that Jesus was not crazy. He is legitimate. No one has ever disproved the Bible and archaeological evidence supports it. If you have troubles believing this, take a look at Biblical Archaeological review and then look at other histories and how they correlate with the Bible. If anything absolutely disproved the Bible, the media would have a field day.

Now, some of you may be thinking that the Bible says the earth is 6,000 years old and that does not coincide with the carbon dating. Well I say to you, the Bible says God is the Beginning and the End- the Alpha and Omega. In light of this, the matter He used to create could be timeless, before He invented time- the day and the night. So carbon dating and the age of the earth the Bible supports can coexist.

If you have questions about God, please let me know and I'll do my best to answer. Having a belief in Jesus as Lord and Saviour is essential for living a peaceful, meaningful life. By saying prayers in His name, not only do we incorporate our physical and soul actions, we also ask the Most Powerful Force to act in regards to whatever we are asking Him to accomplish. Invoking God's power through Jesus destroys anything that tries to set itself against Him. We may see an immediate answer or we may not, but in any case big things are happening and though we may not see all the answers because we are not omnipotent, good things are happening.

Some of you want proof. Of course you can see testimonials on many Christian ministries and Christian's websites. If you want unbiased testimonies, I've read articles in various magazines about how sick people who are prayed for are more likely to heal. God's power is at work. I'll say this, two friends immediately come to mind who are not doing drugs- one who was addicted to heroin- anymore. I prayed for them for a while and they both are away from that lifestyle and have productive lives. Both have admitted that they felt God calling them to a better place and are glad that I prayed. Another, my friends daughter has a hole in her heart. It is not fully closed, but is smaller than before. Her daughter -less than two- is an everyday miracle.

Do you want more proof? I dare you to ask Jesus to be real to you. I dare you to ask the Highest High Power to show Himself. I dare you to go to church and look for people who match the description of what we should be like in the Bible and ask what their testimonies are. I dare you to read the Bible and call some of our bluff when we do not act right. Let Jesus be real to you.
Thanks for the time and attention. More will be soon.
