Land of the lost

Coming soon one of my favorite childhood kid's shows:


First and Second Season Theme Song

Marshall, Will and Holly
On a routine expedition
Met the greatest earthquake ever known
High on the rapids It struck their tiny raft (insert screams here)
And plunged them down a thousand feet below
To the Land of the Lost
To the Land of the Lost
To the Land of the Lost

Catchy, short, to the point, what more could you want from a theme song?

Third Season Theme Song

After Poppa Marshall managed to rescue himself and strand the kids, it was time for a new parental figure to take over. Make way for Uncle Jack.

Will and Holly Marshall
As the earth beneath them trembled
Lost their father through the door of time
Uncle Jack went searching
And found those kids at last
Looking for a way to escape
From the Land of the Lost

Ending Theme

Didn't remember this one did ya? But here it is, the snippet they ran over the ending credits of Land of the Lost.

I can't believe the things I've found
Now I need to find my way
I'm lost I'm lost find me
Living in the Land of the Lost
Living in the Land of the Lost

Our Memorial day

We christains must and should mark those momments when God has acted upon our everday lives:

1. To praise and Honor The God that is...

2. To keep us humble recognizing all these blessings and mercies did not come by our own strength or because we are somehow special-but they all come from the sovereign and gracious arm of God and God alone...

and those momments when it is dark and stormy they may act as our lighthouse,our flashlights for our walk of faith in the midst of uncertainity.......

the new Star Trek

I finally saw the new trek movie and I have to say: It is a excellent retooling of the old star trek for this present generation... i see more sequels and a possible rebirth on televison as well...

It is radical, revolutionary, lasting!

It is radical, revolutionary, lasting!

(Arthur Pink, "The Sovereignty of God")

"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17

In the new birth, God exerts a quickening influence or power upon His own elect. Regeneration is very, very much more than simply shedding a few tears because of some temporary remorse over sin. It is far more than changing our course of life, the leaving off of bad habits and the substituting of good ones. It is something different from the mere cherishing and practicing of noble ideals. It goes infinitely deeper than coming forward to take some popular evangelist by the hand, signing a pledge-card, or "joining the church." The new birth is no mere turning over a new leaf--but is the inception and reception of a new life! It is no mere reformation, but a radical transformation. In short, the new birth is a miracle--the result of the supernatural operation of God. It is radical, revolutionary, lasting!

In the new birth:

God lays hold of one who is spiritually dead--and quickens him into newness of life!

God takes up one who was shaped in iniquity and conceived in sin--and conforms him to the image of His Son!

God seizes a drudge of the Devil--and makes him a member of His holy family!

God picks up a destitute beggar--and makes him joint-heir with Christ!

God comes to one who is full of enmity against Him--and gives him a new heart that is full of love for Him!

God stoops to one who by nature is a rebel--and works in him both to will and to do of His good pleasure!

By His irresistible power, God transforms . . .
a sinner--into a saint;
an enemy--into His friend,
a drudge of the Devil--into His beloved child!

The truth about angels and demons

This is a apologetic site concerning the second movie from Dan brown:

While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and
winter, day and night, shall not cease. genesis 8:22

You make darkness, and it is night,
when all the beasts of the forest creep about (Ps. 104:20).
You cause the grass to grow for the livestock
and plants for man to cultivate,
that he may bring forth food from the earth (Ps. 104:14).
He sends out his command to the earth;
his word runs swiftly.


He gives snow like wool;
he scatters hoarfrost like ashes.
He hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs;
who can stand before his cold?
He sends out his word, and melts them;
he makes his wind blow and the waters flow (Ps. 147:15-18).

Christain and what if's

Spike tv has a new show called Deadlist warrior where the what ifs pertaining to military history like what if ninjas meet roman soilders or pirates clashed with knights etc It is very interesting. But this thought came to mind concerning the christain and the what ifs of God-when it comes to these what ifs His word teaches us this:


"The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Deuteronomy 29:29

1 Timothy 1:4


4neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which promote questions rather than godly edifying in the faith, so do!

1 Timothy 4:7

7But reject profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.


2 Timothy 4:4

4And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned toward fables.


Titus 1:7

7For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God, not selfwilled, not quick to anger, not given to wine, not violent, not given to filthy lucre;


Titus 1:14

14not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth.



2 Peter 1:16

16For we have not followed cunningly devised fables when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

Abortion 3

abortion 3

abortion's "unhumanity" againest the youngest and most defenseless and defiant fist aimed at God-is hidden behind labels such as fetus,women's right,microscopic dot,potential human being,viable life....

abortion instead of promoting life degrades it

abortion is the wisdom of fools

abortion to succeed,find meaning,find justification must exist in a God shaped vaccum

abortion lolls the mind from thinking what if my parents did this to me?

pagans from old testament times if they lived today would feel quite at home worshipping in abortion clinics

abortion goes hand in hand with the survival of the fittest and might makes right

Flame and Abraham Kuyper

A rapper who happens to be a christain and reformed-whose faith defines,sustains his music-not his music marketing,defining and sustaining his music. A example of this famous quote: There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: 'Mine!' "

Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920)

Matteh 5:13-17


13"Ye are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men.


14"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.


15Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.


16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.


17"Think not that I am come to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.


13Vosotros sois la sal de la tierra; pero si la sal se ha vuelto insípida, ¿con qué se hará salada otra vez? Ya para nada sirve, sino para ser echada fuera y pisoteada por los hombres.

14Vosotros sois la luz del mundo. Una ciudad situada sobre un monte no se puede ocultar;

15ni se enciende una lámpara y se pone debajo de un almud, sino sobre el candelero, y alumbra a todos los que están en la casa.

16Así brille vuestra luz delante de los hombres, para que vean vuestras buenas acciones y glorifiquen a vuestro Padre que está en los cielos.



Jesús cumple la ley y los profetas
17No penséis que he venido para abolir la ley o los profetas; no he venido para abolir, sino para cumplir.

The christain reformed church

These editorals from the past two months caught my eye. reflections will follow next post.

What's to Discuss?
by Rev. Bob De Moor


The ethical position of the Christian Reformed Church on homosexuality was reaffirmed by the denomination's synod (annual leadership meeting) in 2002-2003:

homosexual orientation is a result of humanity's fallen condition and not the result of sinful choice(s) made by those who have this orientation;
homosexual actions are sinful, and a person who persists in them is subject to church discipline;
CRC members who have a homosexual orientation but do not engage in homosexual practices are eligible for church office, but those who engage in homosexual practices are not;
our congregations must show full acceptance to all our brothers and sisters who have a homosexual orientation, lovingly enfold them in the fellowship of believers, and support them with pastoral care in living out God’s will for their lives.
On that last point, synod admitted that our congregations have failed miserably in fulfilling our responsibility to those among us who are homosexual. I've asked around. We've made precious little progress on that since Synod 2003 made that admission. Congregations, de facto, use a "don't ask, don't tell" policy that continues to marginalize those who are homosexual and makes them feel anything but welcome in our midst.

This "ostrich in the sand" approach isn't serving any of us well. I know of a number of congregations who have members living in committed homosexual relationships and in which church leaders are not actively applying church discipline. Why not? It's not because those leaders are lazy or uncaring but because present CRC policy doesn't help them deal pastorally with same-sex couples who live in a committed relationship and who show strong faith, Christian maturity, and a sincere desire to continue within the fellowship of believers.

Perhaps more common is the ongoing exodus of those who must choose between a lifelong same-sex partnership and membership in the CRC. They quietly leave our congregations to worship elsewhere.

Rev. Mike Veenema's IMHO on page 8 reveals the deep personal pain that people suffer because of this present reality in the CRC. Perhaps we need to maintain our official position with respect to homosexual practice but build on it and train local church councils how to implement it properly. Perhaps we need to modify it in some way to address differently those who are in committed same-sex relationships. In either case, we need to converse and deal openly with each other in seeking God’s will and God's way in this very significant pastoral matter—without the chilling effect of ecclesiastical censure.

It's time to take another look at the best way for us to proceed together in faith, love, and unity.

Why risk discussing this again, seeing the pain it has brought in other denominations? Because, as Pastor Mike's IMHO shows, the pain is already here. It's quietly borne by those who are silenced and excluded and by their loved ones. For their sake and all of ours, let's heed Paul's urging to "speak the truth in love" so that we will "grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ" (Eph. 4:15, NRSV).

Let's talk.


We Can Be Sure and Wrong, Right?
by Rev. Bob De Moor


With great interest I’ve followed our discussions on homosexuality in The Banner, on the Banner website, and on “Bob’s Blog,” also on the Banner website (www.thebanner.org).

Two things strike me. The first is that these conversations are open, respectful, and keenly concerned about being true to Scripture. That’s hopeful. The second is that so many of us are so sure about stuff—even though what we’re sure of stands diametrically opposed to what others are sure of.

This is what many respondents are sure of:

• The Bible clearly forbids all homosexual practices.

• The Bible does not forbid all homosexual practices.

• The church must discipline those who are in same-sex relationships.

• The church must not discipline those who are in same-sex relationships.

• If parents love their homosexual children, they will support them if they choose a same-sex partner.

• If parents love their homosexual children, they will warn their children away from same-sex relationships.

Interestingly, respondents on both sides of the debate agree that they’re sure the Banner editor raised this issue because he’s secretly hoping that the present church policy will be liberalized. But the one side is sure that’s a good thing, the other that it’s a bad thing.

(For the record, if you refer back to the March issue of The Banner you’ll see that the editor is not at all sure of what’s needed, just that there are a lot of people hurting out there and that we either need to help our churches better implement the policy we have, or we need to adjust it in some way to meet the challenge placed before us by Synods 2002 and 2003 to provide better pastoral care.)

So what might get our conversation unstuck? What might get us beyond our conundrum?

I see hope in the fact that we’re all sure we must do what Scripture would have us do—both in terms of the policy we adopt and how we implement that policy in extending loving acceptance and pastoral care to all our members. Might it help our conversation forward if we parked our certainties at the door and humbly asked our best minds to do some fresh, serious Bible study that is also informed by the latest scientific research on the subject (since Reformed folks do need to consult creation revelation as well)? A new synodical study committee might help us to do that, and, further, to advise our churches on how we are to implement CRC policy (changed or unchanged) in an appropriate manner.

Sometimes the more we study, the less we know we really know. That’s not a bad thing because it opens us up to the Holy Spirit’s leading as we pray, learn, dialogue, and continue to live together in love.

I’m sure that the same applies to the issue at hand. And, yeah, I could be wrong

image is not everything

The other week we went to see horton hears a who and me and my son were wearing DR Seuss hats to go see it. But my mother in law saw this and told my wife about it-who insisted that we do not wear the hat till we got there. You see to my mother in law and most people IMAGE IS EVERYTHING like the nike ad awhile back. My point is because of the fall image is everything-we hide the ugliness of our heart behind a facade of nice clothes,status,education,religous rituals but that does not change the reality of that ugly heart shaped like a clutched fist towards God (trying to please God like cain our way:)
Genesis 4:4-6 (English Standard Version)

4and Abel also brought of(A) the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD(B) had regard for Abel and his offering, 5but(C) for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. 6The LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen?
that WE all are naturally born with...
Psalm 51:4-6 (English Standard Version)

4(A) Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil(B) in your sight,(C) so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.5Behold,(D) I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.6Behold, you delight in truth in(E) the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
The only way to remove that ugly heart is the Gospel of Jesus Christ:
Romans 1:15-17 (English Standard Version)

15So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
The Righteous Shall Live by Faith 16For(A) I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is(B) the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew(C) first and also to(D) the Greek. 17For in it(E) the righteousness of God is revealed(F) from faith for faith,[a](G) as it is written, "The righteous shall live by faith."[b]
