<p>If we have read about the great tension in the cosmos in places like the book of Isaiah or the sad-yet-hopeful &#8220;national anthem of Israel&#8221; given through Moses by the LORD in <a href="http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcjvgcp2_30djrqvghb"><span style="#5588aa;">Deuteronomy 32</span></a> then we know that we are joining into that which generations of prophets have looked forward to. We, disciples of Jesus Messiah, are participating in &#8220;The Resolution of All Things!&#8221;</p>
<p>Many of us are now reading Matthew chapter 13 to better understand the nature of this Messiah&#8217;s Rescue&#8230;this Christ&#8217;s Kingdom&#8230;this Way to &#8220;The Resolution of All Things&#8221;.</p></div>

		<description><![CDATA[the proper use of money for God (God's money)]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Today I ran across some information that makes me question some of the links in my blogroll (well not really question the links but the actions of the blog owners).</p>
<p>Without saying too much&#8230;take a look at <a title="this post" href="http://www.radicalcongruency.com/20060306-all-aboard-for-the-discernment-cruise">this post</a> and/or <a title="this post" href="http://commonblue.blogspot.com/2006/03/criminal-mishandling-of-gods-money-i.html">this post</a> and decide for yourself (it isn&#8217;t a joke).</p>
<p>I realize there will always be a &#8220;line&#8221; there that &#8220;famous&#8221; people in the ministry will try to defend (I am talking about the spending of money on conventions/cruises and the like).  However, I wonder how Christ-like and how (ir)responsible blowing money in such a way really is.</p>
<p><em><a title="Steve Camp" href="http://stevenjcamp.blogspot.com/">Steve Camp</a> and <a title="Phil Johnson" href="http://phillipjohnson.blogspot.com/">Phil Johnson</a> have been in my blogroll for a long time.  Since they are in my blogroll, I felt it was important for me to point out that</em></p>
<p><strong>having a link in my blogroll != support for said person and/or organization</strong></p>
<p><em>(&#8221;!=&#8221; means &#8220;not equal to&#8221;).  My <a title="blogroll" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blogroll">blogroll</a> simply consists of blogs that I read, visit, and/or find interesting.  You may find blogs in my blogroll that I do not agree with so do your <a title="due diligence" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Due_diligence">DD</a> and always check everything against the Scripture.</em></p>

		<description><![CDATA[an untold evil that takes place during halloween]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Ok, I thought I would mention an untold (or unspoken) evil that takes place during halloween.</p>
<p>I already posted some <a href="http://www.pantokrator.org/2005/10/18/christians-celebrating-pagan-holidays/">thoughts</a> on why I don&#8217;t think Christians should celebrate halloween.</p>
<p>However, I wanted to post a reason that people all across the world should not celebrate halloween.</p>
<p>And that is&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;the massive amounts of <strong>REFINED SUGAR</strong> that will be consumed because of the holiday.</p>
<p>Halloween promotes the consumption of the evil element called <em>sugar</em> (refined).  Not only will sugar rot your teeth, it damages your body in too many ways to be listed.  In addition, it will make you fat!  So I ask you, as a Christian, can you in good conscience support the detriment of children&#8217;s health just to celebrate an occult holiday?   <img src='http://www.pantokrator.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
