Jeremiah 3:15-17 - The blog of pastor.ctj

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of...

Can we, Mr. President?? Ok dear reader, please watch the video, then let's talk... The President said: "Surely you can question my policies without questioning my faith," paused a few seconds then added "or for that matter, my citizenship." So, on the surface, aside from the dig at the so called 'birthers' (people who do not believe that he is a citizen, and is disqualified from the Presidency because he was not born in the USA) that was a very interesting statement. More importantly, it was an erroneous, albeit a clever statement. Scripture is quite clear that the mouth speaks the content of the heart (Matthew 12:34) , and Proverbs Chapter 23 verse 7 says, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” ... So the fact is, that we MUST, once we see you policies, question your faith, Mr. President. Clever, but no pass...

Disclaimer: The following story is an actual event, as all of the vignettes in the 'Clubdate Singer Speaks' series are. For 8 years, I was a member of one of the top Orchestras in the nation. Though it was an enjoyable time, it was also at times, quite painful. I took to writing initially to assuage my distress, and this is one of those times when the pen (or keyboard) proved to be a healing tool. I have considered publishing this series, and would appreciate your thoughts...   "Soul Sister, White Sugar* " - Summer 2003 *With apologies to Sam & Dave She had the sweetest smile on her face, even as the most ridiculous words came out of her mouth. The band was hot, so was the night. Maybe that's why she drank a little too much. Actually I hope she was drunk. I don't blame her really, in fact I wasn't offended. She meant well. Really. "You know, I was black in a past life. I know because I have rhythm, and I like soul food. My friend...

I have not put her name in because she is globally recognizable, and I do not want to get into any drama. But it is all true…. It began innocently enough. My friend LG called me one evening and asked if I’d be interested in going to sing at MBHS’s house for her Christmas party. We were going to be part of a 6 person a Capella group, singing traditional Gospel songs and Spirituals for MBHS, her f...

By Pastor CT Jermin The following is a transcript from the December 10, 2009 edition of my show on blogtalkradio.com called 'A New Day For You' We are egalitarian when it comes to truth, but elitist when it comes to people, and it should be the other way around" – Dr. Ken Boa Many who preach about love, have no idea what biblical love teaches. - Dr. Ken Motto My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight; - King Solomon - Prov. 3:21 Before you continue, I believe that there is something that you should know about me: I am intolerant. I am bigoted, judgmental, and Pharisaic. I am ‘deep’, unyielding, and without love. How do I know? I’ve been told/called this on the internet so it must be true. Most often, I am called this by well-meaning Christians who ‘warn me in love’ when I make comments about false doctrine, bad theology, or point out issues involving Pastors, preachers, Prophets and prophetesses and other ‘Chris...

What if I told you that in the words of Malcolm X, "I say and I say it again, you've been had. You've been took. You've been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, run amok." What would you say then? Would you change your mind? Hear what Bernard Nathanson, MD last surviving founding member of NARAL has to say about his part in your bamboozling: “We persuaded the media that the cause of permissive abortion was a liberal, enlightened, sophisticated one. Knowing that if a true poll were taken, we would be soundly defeated, we simply fabricated the results of fictional polls. We announced to the media that we had taken polls and that 60 percent of Americans were in favor of permissive abortion. This is the tactic of the self-fulfilling lie. Few people care to be in the minority. We aroused enough sympathy to sell our program of permissive abortion by fabricating the number of illegal abortions done annually in the U.S. The actual figure was approaching 100,000, but the f...
