I have become weary looking at the typical christian church. It’s not my job or intention to judge anyone – but to say the truth about God and to point out errors in an institution I hesitantly consider myself a member of: the church. Here in America, the church is steadily losing ground, focusing on the unimportant and preaching straight-out lies. For our international readers – we could use your prayers!

American churches are really headed in one of two directions by and large. The first is toward a “seeker friendly” church that is big on hype and members. They have all sorts of programs, their preaching fails to challenge, and miracles, healing and the gifts of the Spirit seem all but forgotten.

The other is an overly hard, zealous direction that seems to have a form of godliness, denying its power and trampling under foot the grace by which they have been grafted into Christ. They preach that money atones for sins, doing good works is more important than faith, and fasting (by changing God, not ourselves) increases miracles. They tarry a decade for God to bring revival and never realize the power that is in doing what we’ve already been commanded to do.

There is a third group. I fear for them above measure, and for the world because of them! The third group is a small band of believers who know the truth and passionately pursue more truth. They are constantly being transformed into the likeness of Christ, and marvel at the condition of the church by and large. The problem is, for the most part, this third group is just sitting idly by – making the rest question if their passion and fervor is real or not. Indeed, this group is in the most trouble. You’re responsible for what you know and what you did and did not do with that knowledge.

I am afraid for all of us that in our hesitance, in our apathy, in our hopelessness, we fail to reach the multitudes with the truth that changed our lives. Some people believe in fate. I believe in destiny; and the destiny of countless souls could be hanging in the balance of our decision and direction… and our failure to act.

As most of you know, I’m not trying to condemn you! Love should be your only motivation – never fear!!!! If you go out motivated with fear you will undoubtedly leave even less fulfilled and with a long train of hurt and confused followers. Love doesn’t make followers. Love makes co-laborers. And that is what God wants in us.

This is a question that Christians get asked a lot, and by and large have had a pretty hard time answering. The Bible, however, gives us a sure answer.

The Bible tells us of a time when God created man kind to love and to express love. Love must always be a choice. As so many know, love forced isn’t love at all. So, God created each one of us with a freewill – the ability to choose love, or even to choose to war against God. This is a good thing – no one can love or be loved in a world without choice. Choice is the only environment that love can exist it… and love was God’s ultimate plan, because God is love.

Adam and Eve – the first man and woman who God created – chose God for a short time, and eventually chose to do what God has told them not to. They ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They chose their own way rather than love for God. God didn’t end the relationship there, though. God came and wanted to walk with them that evening just like all the evenings before, but now they were hiding, told by satan that they were naked. They were ashamed.

God certainly couldn’t let Adam and Eve eat of the tree of everlasting life and let them live forever in shame and sin. So, He forced them out of the Garden of Eden. But God had already given the earth to mankind, and mankind had chosen to serve satan and hinder their relationship with God. This was the start of every disaster. Because of man’s authority being given over to satan, divorce and birth defect, murder and poverty all entered the scene. This was not God’s doing – it was against God’s intention.

You see, God’s intention was to live forever in the garden with mankind, in a paradise without all the things that now plague mankind – like sickness and strife. God’s intention, according to Jesus, is that the will and kingdom of God would be on earth exactly as it is in Heaven. In Heaven there are no wheelchairs or oxygen masks; no hospitals, no courts, no dismay. In Heaven, God’s original intention is best shown to us.

The good thing is, through Christ, God will once again establish His earthly rein, and once again the earth will be a paradise for mankind. Knowing this can change your view of God… it has mine.Knowing that Heaven is God’s plan, and that the evils in this world are a by-product of our choices to do things our way, and have nothing to do with God’s will, is a great truth.

Planes flying into buildings, earthquakes hitting poverty-stricken nations, and divorce shaking families – none of these are part of God’s plan. His plan was for a paradise. His plan now, is to turn every evil situation around for our good… to the extent that we cooperate with Him.

Point2One is going on a campaign! Each week, we’re going to go through just one teaching that has already been published on the site and make sure it is the best it can be. We’ll be correcting errors, rewording a few sentences and best of all – we’re finally utilizing that side-bar space to include information that is related to the text. For articles, this can be word studies, extra scripture, links to related 3rd-party content or, well, anything else!

We want your opinions.
What needs changed? What need revised? What do you want to see added? We’re all about getting people the truth they need, and we want to know how we can make that truth more accessible to you, our viewers.

Thanks for stopping by (no, really!), and if you wanna, please leave a comment to help us out. God bless you!

Coming March 2010, we are going to launch the Point2One beta blog. This will be our all-custom design and will replace the current design. It won’t be perfect right out of the gate, but it will be more customizable and in time will meat more of the demands we have for our blog. We want your ideas! Comment on this posting and let us know how we can make the blog better!

Last summer I wrote a poem that put into words some of the things I have learned about God, and some misconceptions we often times have about God. I believe it can be a tool to show people the true intentions God has for us, and why so little of what we hear about God in most churches today is true. It is a sad reality that more people misunderstand God’s intentions than understand them. Through recent events in the Christianity, my life and family, and the news, I have become open to the idea of sharing this personal poem. It is not the tale of lofty places or flowers tender, but of a world filled with horror and violence  and a God who had no such things in mind at creation, and who causes none of these things today.

Yes, the poem tells of war and starvation, of famine and disease; dead soldiers and funerals for young men; slavery and poverty – a representation of all the unwelcome plagues of humanity. It is real. But it also tells about God, our hope as human beings, and our role in solving this mess.

It will be released as a video with narration. I hope you will stay tuned for its release, and that you will let me know how it has effected you. It will be titled, “That Day.”

I am not surprised at the utterly absurd claims that the earthquakes in Haiti were God’s judgment. These religious lies are from the father of lies and originate in hell itself.

I would like to express my outrage against the religious leaders in America and abroad who have propagated such stupidity; and also, to extend grace to them and tell them that God just isn’t like that. (For more, please read “The True Nature of God” on the Point2One site)

What happened in Haiti was evil, and harmful, not prosperity and peace (see Jeremiah 29:11). How is it that we think ourselves so great that we can cast judgment on Haiti? I am not here to warn of impending doom or sell forgiveness for $77. I am hear to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the cancellation of debts against God through Christ Jesus.

Jesus didn’t come to condemn the world but to save it. (John 3:16-17) He also came to atone for all sins of all people (1 John 2:2). Judgment for all people is reserved for one final day (Hebrews 9:27). And finally, the only reason people will be punished on that final day is for their failure to receive Jesus, not because of any particular sin that you will find in the halls of the holiest churches just like the streets of the ghetto. (John 8:24; John 16:18-19; Acts 10:43; Galatians 3:22).

Please pray for our fellow humans in Haiti that the light of the truth would shine during this time. If you have this world’s goods, please give to help those in Haiti, and express your love, and God’s love for those impoverished people. God does love them. And He loves you too.

“The End of Hostilities” –

Point2One | Uncategorized | 01 15th, 2010 | No Comments »

Video has been shot, is being edited and will be posted very soon. To follow P2O video please stay tuned to our media page, this blog, or our youtube page. The first video will be a brief version of “The End of Hostilities.”

I hope you will take the time – even if only 5 minutese – to stop and think about your life, the past year and what you feel lead to do during 2010. It could mean an eternity of difference for someone else. “Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it.” (Psalm 37:5)

For Point2One, this coming year will (Lord willing) be the largest expansion of our ministry. After about a year of looking at various technologies, and learning a few new tricks, Point2One is going to put the Love-Truth onto more computer screens (and even TV screens) than ever before. To our new viewers who may not know, we recently acquired www.point2one.com to simplify our web address. We also started podcasting (now almost a year ago)… and now, blogging. So what’s next?

In January I am writing and then publishing a new article titled “The End of Hostilities.” This teaching, like “The True Nature and Will of God,” is simply one of those teachings that have had a huge impact on my life, an so many others. i am looking forward to this Article very much, and hope you will venture back by when it is published.

Also in 2010 (about March 31, 2010), this blog will take on a new, custom design, exclusive to P2O, and will make the whole process of adding articles way easier for me.

I am also excited (and a little nervous) about the next thing for P2O. Videos. Like blogging, video technology is a little less formal, and provides an easy way for you to comment and get in touch with P2O. I am really looking forward to this – as awkward as I’m sure it will be for me. This has been a my hear for a long while now, and I believe it is time.

Well, this summer will have been six years since Point2One went online with the Love-Truth that changed my life. My life was radically changed when, one year prior to this ministry’s real launch, I encountered a God who was quite different than all my preconceived ideas about him. I had been a Christian for years and was on my way to heaven… but I was living life a poor wounded soul afraid of breathing wrong for fear of God, and so bound by religion that I could barely stand myself. It was at that moment that our enemy, the devil (deceiver) really came against me hard. The lies I had believed subconsciously in my mind were now screams of condemnation and tormenting spirits. In short, I was facing the devil head-on and woefully unprepared. Having a warped understanding of who God is gave place to not knowing who I was, and by consequence, I gave satan way too much power in my mind.

Slowly but surely, I was exposed to truth. Truth, for me, initially came when God wooed me to listen to a prophetic music CD that I had owned for years. I had listened to it many times before in years past, but this time was remarkably different. The words of the songs began to resonate in my heart and Jesus became so real to me.

My initial journey of freedom didn’t happen overnight. It took months, and to some extent, years. What did happen instantly was that I received a new hope that freedom was on the horizon, and strength in knowing that God Almighty knew me more intimately that I had even imagined, and yet loved me regardless of my faults, failures and all the broken promises I had made to Him. He loved me by choice, not by any attribute typically measured by human-beings. He loved me because I was me – and I was a reflection (marred though it was), of Him.

What so many Christian’s fail to understand is that the spirit, the soul and the body of each and everyone of us are different, and at different stages in the redemption processes that was provided when Christ offered his soul as an offering for guilt. (Isaiah 53:10-11)

The Spirit

The spirit is the part of you that became an exact duplicate of Jesus when you got born-again. That part of you never sins, is never made at odds with God, and lives at total and complete harmony with God. This part of you is the deepest part of you - the part most wholly you. The part that is totally unaffected by the world and its lies.

Jesus said this is that part of us that truly worships God (John 4:23, 24). This is the part of us that Jesus provided for when He died and rose again, defeating hell, and providing for us a life eternally secure in Him.

The Soul

The soul is the part of us that thinks about the world, the part that contains most of our emotions, and the part that is subject to bondage, betrayal, bitterness and rejection. This is the part that is constantly becoming more like Jesus through His Word (Romans 12:2). This is where the war is taking place between the Kingdom of God, and the kingdom of this world. Lies assail this part of us and hold us in bondage. This is the part of us that God is working on right now. This is the part of us that Christ provided for in carrying our griefs, being rejected and baring our iniquities. (Isaiah 53:3-5)

The Body

The body is our physical being, the part that has presence in this world. It contains our soul. It is effect by both the body and spirit, and will be made perfect when we see Christ at His coming (1 John 3:2). It is the part of us that Christ was wounded to heal. (Isaish 53:5)
