Happy Birthday Christianity !!!
But today, May 27,2012 is Pentecost Sunday. Christians all over the world will be celebrating the birthday of the Church, Christianity and the anniversary of the Christian Olympics/race. Which began over 2000 years ago in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. Which took place 50 days after the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Here is what happened,when the disciples and followers of Christ were gathered together,the sound of a rushing mighty wind filled the house where they were sitting together.Then there appeared tongues that looked like fire that rested on them. And they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak other languages the wonderful works of God(Acts 1-2). This was the beginning of Christianity, the Church and the divine Opening Ceremony of the Christian Olympics. Just as the Olympic Games open with flames of fire, The fire at Pentecost that symbolizes the Holy Spirit opened the Christian Olympics and Christianity and the Church was born. What is so significant is that the fire that symbolizes the Holy Spirit that was lit over 2000 years ago still burns today. What year did you join the 2000 year old Christian Olympics? When is your spiritual birthday? Happy Birthday !!!

London 2012 Olympics: The Christians Are Coming
According to the Associated Press the film that portrayed the true story of a Christian missionary and runner Eric Liddell, who refused to run on Sunday, will be played across Britain this summer. The classic film "Chariots of Fire," which title comes from the Christian anthem "Jerusalem," will be released on July 13, 2012, two weeks before the Olympics Opening Ceremony. Just recently the Olympic committee decided to remaster the film for the 2012 London Olympics as part of the London 2012 Arts Festival. The film was released in 1981 which won an Oscar the same year. The film's producer Lord David Puttnam says the film is about "guts, determination and belief."
During the 1924 Paris Olympics, Eric Liddell was scheduled to run the 100 meter race but it was to be held on a Sunday. Liddell said in the film "God made countries, God makes kings, and the rules by which they govern. And those rules say that the Sabbath is His. And I for one intend to keep it that way." And he refused to run on Sunday. Instead he ran the 400 meter race that was not held on Sunday and finished first. breaking both the existing Olympic and world records. On the day of the race an American Olympic team messenger gave him a slip of paper with the Bible verse from the first book of Samuel, chapter 2 and verse 30 which states "them that honour Me I will honour," And God honored him, he won the Olympic Gold Medal for the 400 meter sprint. He did not know if he would do as well in the 400m as he would for 100m. And the 400m was much harder, but he was determined to honour God.
Eric Liddell knew what his gifts and talents were and used them for God's glory. When you know what your gifts and talents are, and that God gave them to you; God inspires you with a sense of purpose, contentment and the feeling that you can do the impossible. You can feel God's power as he works in you and through you. This is how Eric Liddell felt when he stated in the film "I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure."
Not only was Liddell in the Paris Olympics but he was also in the spiritual competition, the Christian Olympics. Fighting the good fight of faith while running on his spiritual race track of the world. As every Christian, no matter what their vocation is in this world, they are running in the spiritual marathon to the finish line.Thursday, March 1, 2012

The Dysfunction of the Married Living Single
Recently I listened to a “Focus On The Family” broadcast with hosts President Jim Daly and John Fuller. The two-part radio broadcast was titled: “Building The Passion In Your Marriage.” The focus was on the physical relationship in marriage, sex and how couples can build physical and emotional intimacy.
“Focus On The Family” is a Christian organization that helps to build strong families. They have a counseling team and are contacted by families all over the world about various difficulties that they are experiencing in their relationships. And from couples that are really struggling. According to Daly, many have contacted them about their problems with sex in marriage. To their surprise, even pastors and assistant pastors call in on the clergy hotline about inappropriate contact with someone of the opposite sex.
Since the physical aspect in marriage is so important, when it is unhealthy, it causes turmoil, the breakup of families and divorce. With the divorce rate of 35 percent, and since God was the one who created sex, they wanted to help couples have a healthy sexual relationships. To address this sensitive subject, they invited as guests Christian sex therapists Dr. Cliff Penner and his wife Joyce, a clinical nurse specialist. Dr. Penner has been counseling couples for 40 years and they are the authors of many books. Their recent book “The Way To Love Your Wife” was the focus for this broadcast discussion.
It was explained during the discussions that an unhealthy sexual relationship could lead men to go outside the relationship or to pornography when their sexual needs are not met. But the hosts and guest were quickly to point out that this type of behavior should not be an excuse. Instead, they should get the help they need and fight for their marriages. The title and content of the Penner’s book is totally based on research that shows that the satisfaction of the husband is the driving force in the sexual relationship. And the Penner’s made it clear that he will not be satisfied sexually until he learns how to love his wife, which was taken from the Bible (Ephesians 5:25), which says: “Husbands, love your wives,..” They explained the reason why and that is because the wife has to feel good about herself and loved by her husband to have sex. And the husband feels good about himself when he has sex. The Penner’s go on to explain that the husband must give up his rights and his way of thinking about the sexual relationship in marriage. He must do it God’s way to be fulfilled sexually.
According to the Penner’s,sex is the oil that keeps the marriage machine running and only 25 percent of couples have a healthy sexual relationship in their marriage.
To help couples get started towards having healthy sexual relationships, the hosts suggest that they take the “Date Night Challenge.”
There are many factors that can cause couples to have an unhealthy sexual relationship, but the main one would be not spending enough time with one another. The husband would have to spend time with his wife to love her and to make sure that she felt loved.
But with the schedules that couples keep today, it is almost impossible. Married couples are more like two ships in the night. When one is coming, the other is going. Everything seems to interfere and take priority over the marriage relationship. There are some careers that separate couples from each other for days and weeks at a time. And then there are the ministry opportunities that separate husbands and wives. When the pastor leaves his wife and children home while he travels across the states to preach a week revival. Or the evangelist or missionary that travels the county and comes home to visit his family once a month.
When couples are not spending time together, although they are married, they are living single, which I explain in my book “The Christian Olympics.” God never intended for spouses to have careers or be involved in ministries that causes them to be separated from each other for a period of time. In fact, the apostle Paul tells married couples in 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 not to deprive one another of sex unless it is for a short time and only for fasting and prayer — in which both parties would have to be in agreement.
To be separated from a spouse to preach at a conference, a convention or a retreat cannot be a reason to deprive one another of sexual relations. No wonder there is a high divorce rate and so many pastors committing adultery. They are married living single, which makes marriage and single become dysfunctional. God never intended for the married to live single and when they do, singles no longer have a role. During the apostle Paul’s time it was the single man that was the missionary or the evangelist. Somehow through the centuries the church community has strayed away from putting family before ministry and as a result has neglected the family structure according to the way God designed it.
