Embracing the True Power of the Prophetic
Whenever a manufacturer gets his engineers to work on a project, he always has an agenda or a purpose for the car or product in mind. Lets use cars for example. Some cars were just designed to be mean and tough, and handle the hard yakka.
When Christians Are Called Extremists It Is Good to Examine What This Means Because We Ought To Be!
It has to be confessed. "We are". Comments were made regarding the "Challenger 4" bus team being 'extremists'. Well, we are, or ought to be. The comments were far more accurate than the commentator may have realised. If you are going to reach out to the community with a powerful team filled with the Holy Spirit, one cannot expect to get off without serious antagonism and criticism. We seek to follow an 'extreme' Jesus, who was, and is, extremely loving, gracious, merciful, and forgiving. He suffered extreme humiliation and pain, and when on the cross, Jesus said, "Father, forgive them because they do not know what they are doing". Is that not an extreme reaction to the wickedness of men? In many nations today, Christians are receiving extreme persecution, simply as a consequence of following Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
String Theory
I sat around a table with about a dozen international people ranging from their late teens to their early thirties. I was the only American and I was having dinner with some new found friends in the south of France. We took turns going around the table briefly describing the lives that we had left behind in our own countries and that what was waiting for us upon our return.

Brad Pitt's Mom Buys $130 Bible As Gift For Brad And Angelina's Wedding
In Touch can exclusively reveal that Brad Pitt's mom, Jane Pitt, has purchased a Bible as a wedding gift to her son and future daughter-in-law, a contentious decision as Angelina has never declared a faith, and has even taught Buddhism to her son Maddox.
?It was a special wedding gift,? Kris Burnett, the salesperson who sold Jane the Bible, tells In Touch. ?We prayed with Brad?s mom and sister over the Bible, asking the Lord to lead the way in Brad and Angelina?s life.?
The Bible, purchased at Mardel Christian & Education, cost about $130 and had the name "Angelina" embossed on the cover.
And according to therapist Dr. Paul Hokemeyer (who does not treat the couple), Jane?s Bible gift sends a strong message. ?The purpose of a gift is to honor the recipient, not to push an agenda,? he tells In Touch. ?By giving Angelina a Bible, Jane is invalidating Angelina through passive-aggressive behavior. It?s subtle, destructive and will corrode Jane?s relationship with her future daughter-in-law.?
