Christians at Comic-Con

Zondervan and The Christian Comic Arts Society are setting up a floor booth at Comic-Con International in San Diego, as well as have a panel and a fellowship mixer. The purpose is to bring the message of Christ to pop-culture fans.

There will be an opportunity to engage people one-on-one and stage events.

"We really look at the conference as an outreach," said CCAS board member Scott Shuford. "We know that most of the people that attend Comic-Con are not churchgoers. There's a big chunk of that population that has had a negative experience with the church. There's another part of the [Comic-Con] population that has had no experience with the church, and there's a smaller part of that population that attends church, but didn't know there were any Christian-related things in the comic world."

Also to be presented by CCAS and Zondervan will be a graphic novel of The Book of Revelation, which is No. 1 in Religious Arts and Photography on the Amazon Best Sellers list.

Another graphic novel will be presented named "Last Adam: Firstborn," which is the first in the series. It deals with the birth of Jesus and the saga surrounding the event.

=====================

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.

If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.

=====================

Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.

=====================

We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.

=====================

Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning...

=====================

Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.

My heart, shall become your heart.

Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.

‘Evolution vs. God’ Stirs Up Atheist Weenies

Taking aim at the crumbling foundations of evolution, which are built on shifting sand, Ray Comfort's new film called ‘Evolution vs. God,' has been an immediate hit, as people stormed his website in order to download the new movie.

The film takes a unique approach to the debate in that it doesn't have any of the usual teaching or dismantling of evolution by believers, but rather performs a serious of interviews with professed believers in evolution.

According to Comfort, the film confirms none of the evolution experts could provide a shred of evidence that evolution is anything but a theory.

The pathetic and cowardly PZ Myers said that Comfort was a “liar” and “a dishonest fool.” About the movie he identified it as a "monstrosity."

Myers has been evading debat on creation versus evolution for years. Just one rather obscure man - Vox Day - has challenged Myers over and over again to a debate, and Myers continues to run from him. That's why I called him a coward ... and he is all of that and more.

What evolutionists do when they're willing to debate is choose a gentlemanly type, who believes by being nice and cordial he is helping to make his case. In truth what happens is the evolutionists rips him up one side and down the other. He doesn't do it with convincing arguments, but by attitude and attack which isn't countered in a meaningful way because the debater is trying to be so nice. Christians need to learn the stakes and do battle with nothing but an aggressive and total victory in mind. You're not debating with people who are civilized in any way.

The usual and silly American Atheists attempt to redefine evolution in order to discredit Comfort's film. They call for the definition of evolution to come from an "expert." What is an expert in evolution? Who knows. Since it's a false theory, presumably it's someone good at telling fairy tales.

Here's a few questions to ask a Darwinist friend or enemy:

There are an estimated 1,263,186 animal species and 326,175 plant species in the world. Assuming the age of the Earth is 4.54 billion years, what is the average rate of speciation?

How many mutations, on average, are required per speciation?

What scientifically significant predictive model relies primarily upon evolution by natural selection?
By the way, if an answer is given here, it's an outright fabrication, as there are no predictive models based primarily on evolution by natural selection. Furthermore, 150 years after Darwin's fictional work, TENS (if you know what it means) is as useless as ever, other than doing nothing but attempting to prove itself.

Which of the various human sub-species is the most evolved; i.e. modified by mutation and natural selection from the most recent common human ancestor? Which is the least evolved?

Here's a look at the trailer for Evolution vs. God

Thousands Commit to Sexual Purity in Venezuela

At a youth festival in Venezuela where 45,000 people attended, thousands committed to sexual purity until marriage. There was even a moment where the crowd shouted "yes to sexual purity," over and over again. We need this around the world.

"If each and everyone one of you gives your life to Christ, not only will you all revolutionize Venezuela, but Colombia and the entire world," said Evangelist Luis Palau. "Tonight, the Lord tells you, you have more than hope, you have the security that the power of God will be upon your life."

The amazing event was based upon a vision by festival organizer Gabriel Blanco, who wants to see a transformation among the youth of Venezuela to live out lives based upon the principles of the Holy Scriptures.

In response to the current economic crisis afflicting Venezuela, Palau added, "Search the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."

Christians Violently Attacked at "Gay Pride" Event

Screeching women supporters at a so-called gay pride event, as well as physically violent males, attacked street preachers in Seattle, as you can see in the video below.




Both women and men were spewing threats and profanities before the attack on the protesters, one of whom was holding a sign calling for repentance and saying "Jesus Saves from Sin."

This was too much for these wicked people, who became extremely agitated, apparently in light of being challenged and resisted concerning their evil lifestyles.

One of the Christian protesters was repeatedly hit and kicked after being taken to the ground. Some of the women also attempted to take the sign away, while another male pushed a man holding a Bible, warning him to leave.

It only confirms the violent nature of homosexuality and those supporting it. Jesus Christ completely forbids this sin, and calling attention to it as sin and exposing the lie that a person isn't born that way will always trigger these emotion-driven, brutish people.

If you're one of those, you are called to repentance by Jesus Christ. You can be delivered from your sin and made right with God by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ who died on the cross so you can be saved from eternal damnation. When you call on the Lord He'll also deliver you from your sin in this life as well, setting you free from bondage.

All this violence and response confirms these people know they are sinning and supporting that sin. It's the fact of it being brought into the light that generates such hate towards Jesus Christ and believers.
