“If church takes on only celebration structures, it will be like celebrating a wedding a week, and our behavior will soon be so far removed from real life that it will cease to make sense to ordinary people.”

Israeli Blockade News

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 12:09:32 -0400

This is an email that was forwarded to me by my uncle. He has close friends in intelligence and was given this email that was written by one of the Israeli commandos that boarded the blockaded ship headed towards Gaza. After the email is a link to a video showing what was behind the “humanitarian” aid aboard these ships.

This is Amir writing you after reading what you sent to my father, Eitan. As
you know, it was my unit and my friends who were on the ship. My commander
was injured badly as a result of the “pacifists” violence. I want to tell
you how he was injured so you could tell the story. It shows just how
horrible and inhuman were the activists. My commander was the first soldier
that rappelled down from the helicopter to the ship. When he touched ground,
he got hit in the head with a pole and stabbed in the stomach with a knife.
When he drew out his secondary weapon-a handgun (his primary weapon was a
regular paintball gun: “Tippman 98 custom”) he was shot in the leg. He
managed to fire a single shot before he was tossed from the balcony by 4
Arab activists, to the lower deck (a 12 feet fall). He was then dragged by
other activists to a room in the lower deck were he was stripped down by 2
activists. They took off his vest, helmet and shirt, leaving him with only
his pants and shoes on. When they finished they took a knife and expanded
the wound he already had in his stomach. They cut his ab muscles
horizontally and by hand spilled his guts out. When they finished they
raised him up and walked him on the deck outside. He was conscious the whole
time. If you are asking yourself why they did all that, here comes the
reason. They wanted to show the soldiers their commander’s body so they will
be demoralized and scared. Luckily, when they walked him on the deck a
soldier saw him and managed to shoot the activist that was walking him down
the outside corridor. He shot him with a special non-lethal bullet that
didn’t kill him. My commander managed to jump from the deck to the water and
swim to an army rescue boat (his guts still out of his body, and now in
salty sea water). That was how he was saved. The activists that did this to
him are alive, now in Turkey, and treated as heroes.

I’m sorry if I described this with too many details, but I thought it was
necessary for the credibility. Please tell this story to anyone who will
listen. I think that these days you are one of Israel’s best spokesman.

I got an early copy of iOS 4 and loaded it on my iPhone 3Gs to check out the new features. For starters it’s fast, very fast. It reminds me of the speed difference I noticed going from the iPhone 3G to the 3Gs, very snappy. I also love the folders. I condensed my apps into folders and shaved off two pages of apps. I also love the multi-tasking. It is so quick and very well thought out. I’ve also become a fan of the background image wallpaper. I realize these are some features that other phones have had for awhile, but Apple really outdid themselves with this release. This version brings the iPhone to where it should be as a smart phone, beautiful and completely useful. I love it. Now for the new hardware in iPhone 4.

Mike Bickle on "What The Church Will Look Like In 20 Years"

Today’s church leaders are moving in two different directions that will become more solidified by 2010.

Among the first group are those who have set their hearts to live deeply connected to Jesus and who are committed to full obedience in a fasted lifestyle. They will prayerfully devour the Word of God and encounter the Spirit’s power in different ways. They’ll reach out in justice with compassion to bring God’s love to people and to transform society. They’ll call people to love Jesus on God’s terms as they faithfully proclaim the whole counsel of God (including its “unpopular” aspects). As they impart these values to others, they will raise up praying churches that will be small-group based and have varying expressions of meeting and ministry style (both within and outside the church). Such groups will regularly experience God’s presence together with a spirit of prayer and prophecy. As they faithfully speak out in ways true to Scripture but unpopular to the masses, they’ll be ridiculed more and more by mainstream religion and media.

Within the second group are those seeking to grow their ministries by promising people ease, comfort and pleasure. Their present dullness and man-pleasing spirit will escalate into a much bolder distancing from the foundational principles of the Word. These leaders will also be involved in many outreaches and service-oriented works, even as they label the first group as fanatics. Both groups will function under the banner of Christianity and will aggressively reach out to others, yet they will do it with a very different spirit and message.
