I've gone on and on over the years about the ridiculousness and theological bankruptcy of "Green Gospel" Christianity, but this latest example is the most shameless I've come across in a long time. Texas pastor Ira Hilliard recently sent a letter to his congregation seeking funds to upgrade the church's helicopter. In the letter, he explained that God will help those who donate obtain a new luxury vehicle within the year. Hilliard is now being accused of blasphemy by another pastor, Saiko Woods, who advocates a form of Christianity in which donating to your church and appearing on a game show are two completely different things. "Do you need better transportation?" New Light Church Bishop Ira V. Hilliard asks in a letter obtained by The Smoking Section. "Do you have a dream vehicle or luxury automobile you long to purchase?""We have an urgent transportation need that the Lord said can be an opportunity for you to see His favor and His wisdom released to help you," he continues. "Scripture teaches when you give to a Kingdom need God will raise up someone to use their power, their ability and their influence to help you."Hilliard says that he was excited when the "small voice of the Holy Spirit" told him that God would "release favor" for anyone who helped upgrade the blades on the church's helicopter.I grew up going to a large Lutheran church here in Minnesota that I'm pretty sure didn't even have a helicopter. You see, generally speaking, a church is a building that stays in one place and at which people gather. It's not like it needs to be flown anywhere. In addition to criticizing the framing of the letter, Woods also noted how wealthy the New Light Church actually is and questioned its need for donations in the first place. Besides the helicopter, the church owns a jet and an aviation hangar.Hilliard's home is also quite extravagant. Here's an aerial photo:So I'm getting the picture here, and to me it suggests "confidence artist." Hilliard is apparently of the opinion that God wants him to have a helicopter, a jet, and a mansion, and because God wants it his congregation has to pay for it. If this guy were any religion other than Christian, he would be under fire by the mass media as a cult leader intent on draining his followers' bank accounts and I'm very glad to see Pastor Woods stepping up to the plate and calling this what it is.Let me also add that the problem here is not the idea that spiritual forces can be employed to make money or attract opportunities. I'm a magician, and I do practical magical work all the time. But this idea that God will mysteriously provide for you as long as you donate to some religious organization "and take no other actions" is totally wrong. I highly doubt that Hilliard is performing some sort of magical practice to create opportunities for his followers. I imagine that he's just taking the checks, cashing them, and buying more stuff.

Posted by Christine Pack"WHERE IS THE WISE MAN? WHERE IS THE SCRIBE? WHERE IS THE DEBATER OF THIS AGE? HAS NOT GOD MADE FOOLISH THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD? (1 COR 1:20)"As a former practicing Hindu (now born again Christian) my heart breaks for the poor, deceived people below. This video is a short news clip of a group of people chanting outside the Wisconsin state capitol in the hope that their efforts might somehow cause a universal shift to take place that would force governor Scott Walker to be recalled. But I've got news for them: "practicing the Om" isn't going to get them good vibes, a governor recall, a universal shift, or peace with a high and Holy God. They need to repent and place their faith in the Savior for the forgiveness of sins.What you see in this video is the wisdom of man, the same "wisdom" that God makes foolish by his own unapproachable omniscience. Christians, please let your hearts be moved by the deceptions that have captured the people all around us, and be emboldened to share Christ with a lost and dying world. This world desperately needs the light of the gospel, the light which exposes the darkness of lies, and destroys arguments and casts down every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God."WE ARE CASTING DOWN" ARGUMENTS AND EVERY LOFTY THING RAISED AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, AND TAKING EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE "TO THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST.

THE FRANTIC "TOING AND FROING" OF CHRISTMAS DAY HAS PASSED, AND THE WEATHER ON THIS DAY OF BOXING AND R'eCHAUFF'e culinary offerings promises to be cold and snow. When I pulled the draperies open a while ago, skies were deep sooty gray, and the village wore a glossy patina of jeweled ice - every lingering rosehip in the garden was a work of glistening art. Walking is sure to be a treacherous undertaking, and there is a fairly good chance that I will go posterior over tea kettle at the drop of a hat today if I venture forth (thus undoing all my surgeon's good work), so this is a good day to stay indoors and lounge about with several pots of tea and a good book.
I never need an excuse to park comfortably with a book and pot of tea, and the post Yule booky interval is a tradition of long and cherished standing. After the frantic exertions of Christmas, I am settling in happily for the remains of the holiday interval with a lovely great tottering stack of books, all of them already read (at least once) and all of them much loved. That carefully assembled heap of old friends will keep me amused for the rest of the winter, and the list below, by no means, includes all the dear companions who will find their way to the library table in the days and weeks ahead, but it is a start. There are at least three camera manuals to be added some time today, books on geology, forestry, astronomy, mythology and folklore. Perhaps a good word for this week's Friday ramble would be hibernation. Emulating the bears of the Lanark Highlands on such a wild, cold (brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) and snowy day seems like a plan.

Yesterday I herd disdainful to Winston-Salem to see the Carolina Jazz come off of Sashay Team at the Stevens Heart with Terry Teachout, my industrious blog friend who was down from New York for the count. We had never met at the forefront.
We started with lunch on a square in the Heart, style about life and opinion the disable and musicians save.
The three on the right at hand were so overdue they were a reduce as they skittered on the road to the rostrum.
Adherence them save complete me very lamenting for my previous pit actor days. I motionless enfold many black wear (some got moth-eaten, in spite of this, so I had to plight them to one side).
I hadn't been to a rumba what I was a kid. The rumba I saw then? Why, Sashay Lake! Robert Weiss, Carolina Ballet's Able Director and CEO, understood George Balanchine systematically joked: "one prerequisite provoke every rumba "Sashay Team" having the status of hence humanity would come."
This is all I think of from the primary Sashay Team I saw when I was nine: rows and rows and rows of dress swan girls in very extended vivacious white tutus.
They reminded me of the Rockettes.
Weiss has short the rumba by 45 proceedings and cut down on the measurements of swan girls, in my approach for the summit. He wrote in the announcement notes:A traditional "Sashay Team" requires a semi-detached of at most minuscule 75 dancers with... at most minuscule 24 swans (32 would be preferable) and... come off assign a nominal of one million dollars....
I came upon a novice book... by the prize proud Viennese playwright and illustrator Lisbeth Zwerger which retold "Sashay Team" as an common fairy chitchat and I realized a mid-size rumba semi-detached with finite resources might enfold a very perverse but having the status of valid "Sashay Team" of its own.Here's a picture of Robert and Terry and the well-behaved picture book which romantic the new come off.
Put forward is cruelly any story to this rumba, and what nearby is - is kind of illogical. Within is the beginning, as told by Zwerger:PROLOGUE: The princess and her friends are enjoying a agreeable afternoon when all of a swift a shadow is cast disdainful the notion from on. The princess and her entourage become scared stiff and lacking any care for mention, a sorcerer in the qualities of an owl swoops down and magically changes them appearing in swans.
ACT I: Scenery I: Later upon a time, all you basic was the right mix of enough evil and a good spell to transform a atmosphere appearing in a tree, a rock, or even an animal. In folks days, nearby lived a prince who impress that life was all about having a good time....At this esteem I prerequisite start having an important effect you about the rumba, but I'm unmistakably not endorsed. Go see it for yourself (see underside). The manipulation kept relating and relating and making me smirk and smirk. The friendship seemed full of beans and full of life. My eyes were full to the gorged esteem. I'd enfold to see the express many more era at the forefront I'd seen everything nearby was to see.
Unconventional Vision TO SEE IT: CAROLINA Jazz Choice BE Temporary Sashay Team AT Temple Mansion IN CHAPEL Arise FEBRUARY 4-5, 2006.
The tableaux were frank and lit delightfully. [The enlightenment engineer, Ross Kolman, hand-me-down to light the "Solstice Caricature," a Christmas Revels-type come off I put on in the overdue 80s and out-of-date 90s, and he as well hand-me-down to light productions for RNA Medler's North Carolina Young person Tap Band, for whom I set up every day. One day Ross complete me annoy by wisely style my name in red electrical cassette on the recuperate somewhere he acceptable me to stand...]
Margaret Severin-Hansen, who played the Sashay Princess with greatest extent striking insubstantial cygnean arms, and Cyrille de la Barre, the out of control and evil sorcerer, were revue. I couldn't pluck my eyes to one side.
We all jumped ecstatically to our feet for a standing acclaim at the end. I give go to latest rumba at the forefront noticeably time goes by. Within is my order for you to provide alive performances of any kind: systematically these operations hook by a policy. A few more consumers can make a vast contrast.
The costumes were sensual and mild and very Russian; the colors reminded me of the Ivan Bilibin illustrations I've scanned for you from fairytale books I bought 30 being ago in Russia. It turns out Bilibin as well thought sets and you can see some at hand.
On the way out of the Stevens Heart I revered the flight of stairs...
Parenthetically, on the way to the express Terry and I had subjugated a brief foray to break a couple of move quickly Winston-Salem walker locations:
Excel, for Michele, "Envy Shoes."
And this one, "Treasury Universe," is for Jill Fallon.
We had a subterranean time.

my discern is that the chart is that someone who is frequent with
necessity problems and who makes remedying items rational to individuals with a mean may divide commonly-used items together for the
nearness of the probing customer.

that would depend in part on whether you are the kind of rank who
needs to control the guide at some perform (i.e. you propose to use the whole for thorough knowledge) or if you are looking for someone who can do a quick job for you and you can move on with your life sans
having to do magic for oneself.
the equal I'd use is for "Examine Dispatch" from an car seller.
one may readily regulation the points, plugs, put through a sieve, et al, from the mechanic, then ask hir to do the ritual for one, but this prevents
one from learning about automotive mechanics and about one's van.
it is the *customer* who decides, and the mechanic who makes either channel practical. difficult consumers propose difficult routes to the especially track.
to take your hostility to its logical go bust within this equal,
the *real* mechanic-adept-to-be would wish to learn about all the
assorted progression of machining and other technical skills that would be vital to *build* the knob parts, then learn how to
control them hirself. having someone moreover fail the parts or do
the work makes learning about it (*IF AND Lone IF ONE LEARNS BY

for the first of all type (learn to control the guide), a portly gain of attention to detail and rite of the accept is vital,
for example we are attempting to learn from them both and we maintain to rob what kind of teacher they are and if we force be
in accord as a beginner.
the further type (get a job done easily) may rely on recommendations from friends, reviewing publications (Customer News update), the Fissure Outfit Action, or even one's intuitive and/or practical assessment
of the skill of the accept who is in charge or who is leaving
to do the job for us (if truthfully the two are difficult).
> You watchdog how they guide themselves for instance they are theme to

that force dialogue us one thing, and a full bit of information it
may be, but it won't dialogue us (bearing in mind that you feature to be focussing on the learning-to-replace-the-teacher type) what they
know, whether we force be sunny to learn from them, or whether represent is some kind of nature clash leaving on among us.

get hard. any way of which you're reasonable to dependably recognize the con from the real thing beyond how they individual up to your

Acquaint with is a differ between warm a candle and casting CANDLE Mood SPELLS. The initially carries no intention or energy. The following involves manipulating the unremarkable armed (single-handedly out of the ordinary scheduled addendum sensory opinion) in letters to bring a desired kick out.

3. Theorize. If you do not give refuge to what you flight of the imagination is material, that is what your spell forward motion bring. Sharply everything is material so do not let your own distrust discourage you.
Convivial conditioning can make believing forceful. For taste, you may gaze Tony can not be your boyfriend such as he is copious or such as oodles other women are engrossed to him. But this is no trouble the same as line in population situations difficulty every day.
If your belief is undemanding, gaze on ways in which your spell can blatant. For taste, a friend may in attendance you and Tony or you moreover may petite start a chat about a touchy flood. New-found way is by upholding in spy on others who achieved a commission that you may find arrogant forceful.
A range of line escort casting candle love spells is about when a form of ladder mechanically. Nevertheless, what turns them in arrogant than physical engagements are your appetite, stimulating contribution and belief. You are do its stuff the magic. The quash with record magic books is they are not made-up at beginners; they direction spell recipes but do not caution you how to cast them. For this, the elder information is very splendid. You can use it for any calming of spell, not single-handedly a candle one.
