An Elephant And A Dog Can Make Friendship Work - Why Can't Our Families Work Like This?
Sunday, January 25, 2009 Posted by Shattered Paradigm
No, it is not a story of two girls or of two women.
It is the story of the very real friendship between an elephant and a dog.
Seriously.
I have not seen such a touching story of friendship in quite some time.
Why can't our families have this kind of affection?.....
Oprah Winfrey Continues To Try To Redefine Morality, Family And Religion In America
Tuesday, January 20, 2009 Posted by Shattered Paradigm
Oprah Winfrey is continuing her crusade to redefine religion and spirituality in America.A while back, Oprah Winfrey shocked many people in the United States by having two clergymen on her show who proclaimed to the world that "being gay is a gift from God."
That show predictably caused a significant response from people all across the religious spectrum.
In fact, it was such a huge response that Oprah decided to have one of those ministers, the Reverend Ed Bacon of the All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, California on her show once again.
The following video shows highlights from Bacon's first stunning appearance on Oprah, and it shows his more recent appearance on Oprah where he reaffirms his position that the Bible says that being gay is a gift from God.....
Needless to say the blogs and forums all over the internet are buzzing about all of this.
Oprah Winfrey has gotten to the point where she not only discusses spiritual matters on her show, but she now is actively seeking to redefine and reshape the religious beliefs of millions of Americans.
Recently on our new blog we published an article entitled "Oprah Winfrey: Preparing The Way For The One World Religion?" which went into great detail in explaining how Oprah is attempting to become one of the most influential spiritual leaders of this generation.
Is it appropriate for Oprah to do this?
Is Oprah purposely trying to destroy traditional Christianity?
What do you think about what Oprah believes and about what she is trying to do?
Feel free to leave us a comment and tell us what you think!
Announcing The Debut Of Our New Blog - The Final Hour
Sunday, January 18, 2009 Posted by Shattered Paradigm
We are incredibly excited to announced the debut of our new blog The Final Hour.The world is more rapidly changing than ever before. This is a time of wars and rumors of wars, of economic collapse, of increasing terrorism, of rising famine, of devastating natural disasters, of environmental destruction and of global plagues.
The world is spinning out of control and with each passing year things seem to be getting worse.
That is because things ARE getting worse.
Politicians, celebrities and religious leaders run around claiming that they have some answers but nobody can seem to even slow down the building chaos.
The world as we all knew it has fundamentally changed, and many are wondering if the world is about to face the worst times it has ever seen.
The times that are approaching us are the times that Jesus spoke of in Luke 21:10-11.....
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
The vast majority of the population is not going to know how to handle these things. There will be mass panic and mass rioting as these things begin to take place. When people lose everything that they have worked for all of their lives and they realize that there is no hope, then the very worst of humanity will come out.
We will soon be facing the days that the apostle Paul wrote about in 2 Timothy 3:1-5.....
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power.
In our new blog, we will be covering the extraordinary events of these times as humanity enters the darkest era in history.
We would encourage you to go over and check out the new site. We think that you will find that it is unlike any blog that you have seen before.....

Trusting In God For Our Marriage
Saturday, January 17, 2009 Posted by Shattered Paradigm
Trusting in God For Our Marriage
By Angie Lewis
Who are you trusting in when things go wrong in your marriage? Are you trusting in self, or perhaps you go running to family and friends, explaining your side of the story? Some of us go running to therapists, counselors, divorce lawyers, and strangers on the street. But we seldom run to God.
Many of the people we go running to in times of marital troubles aren't equipped in giving us proper advice and guidance. Most of them have had divorces themselves! How can someone fix our marital wounds when they can't fix their own?
Most people mean well when they offer advice but is that advice really what your marriage needs? Family and friends are always bias toward your side of things. Anything you have to say about your spouse will be treated with such bias. Is that what you want, really?
Have you ever gone to the doctor with a certain ailment and the doctor sends you home with medicine to cover up the symptoms with? That's what its like when we go running to family, friends, and counselors with our marriage problems. I'm not saying we shouldn't go to counselors, but what I am saying is, have you tried going to the Architect of marriage? Perhaps He can shed some light on your problems - do you think?
Why do people get sick with disease and illness? It is because they are putting something in the body, on a daily basis that it doesn't like. The body is rejecting what it's being given every day. For a healthy body we need to feed it nutritious building foods and then it will begin to heal itself. Whole foods in their pure form are what the body REALLY needs.
It is the same with marriage. Marriages fail because couples in marriage are getting fed lies and deceit from the world, and they believe it! The institution of marriage is rejecting what it is being given on a daily basis. For a healthy marriage we need to make the Designer of marriage a priority in our lives and let Him feed us with His truths. Christ-like principles are what marriage REALLY needs.
Don't treat your marriage like everyone else does. Go to the Inventor of marriage. If you want a chocolate bar, you wouldn't go to the hardware store to get it, would you? Where would you get your chocolate bar? The corner mini mart or the grocery store, right? But you still have to ask this question, where did that chocolate bar come from, originally? It came from the factory, but where did the factory get it? From the cocoa bean!
If it doesn't come from the cocoa bean then its not real chocolate - it's a fake. Look for the fruit, or in this case look for the cocoa.
It's impossible to manufacture a REAL chocolate bar without first starting from the cocoa bean. ALL chocolate comes from the cocoa bean - it is its source. ALL people come from God - He is our Source! Chocolate makes a candy bar, which comes from the cocoa bean. Couples in marriage - a man and a woman, make a marriage, which come from the Creator!
My point? God created and designed marriage. He is the Master Architect! So then why are we not trusting in God for our marriage? All the principles for a healthy, abundant and blessed filled marriage derive from the Source of marriage - God our Lord and Creator of the universe has already given us everything we need to be fulfilled in our marriage.
All you have to do is put those blessings into action, and you do that by trusting in God. Trusting in God takes more than "saying what we're going to do". We actually need to change our way of thinking and attitude and be the people that God created us to be FOR OUR MARRIAGE. It's a personal discovery, really. It's a renewal of heart and mind - a transformation.
Angie Lewis has written five books on how to have a happy marriage. In her books she offers marriage tips, tools, techniques, and wisdom filled answers for you to apply in your marriage. From issues such as adultery, addiction, pornography, emotions, beliefs, forgiveness, communication and submission.

Oprah Winfrey And Two Members Of The Christian Clergy Try To Redefine Christian Morality By Teaching America That "Being Gay Is A Gift From God"
Saturday, January 17, 2009 Posted by Shattered Paradigm
On a recent broadcast of the Oprah Winfrey show, not one, but two Christian pastors emphatically declared that "being gay is a gift from God."In fact, in the stunning video footage below you will see one of the Christian ministers tell a gay person that he "is gay by divine right" and that part of being made in the image and likeness of God is to be gay because God made him that way.
Just check out this amazing video footage. You will definitely want to watch it more than once.....
Now Oprah's very strong promotion of gay marriage and the gay agenda has been known for a long time, but she has definitely taken things to a whole new level by having Christian ministers on her show who are openly teaching that being gay is a gift from God.
This is just another indication of the extent to which Oprah Winfrey is willing to go to try to influence spirituality in America.
Earlier this week we published an article on our new blog entitled "Oprah Winfrey: Preparing The Way For The One World Religion?" which went into great detail in explaining how Oprah is attempting to reshape and redefine traditional Christianity. Oprah does not simply have a personal obsession with "spirituality" at this point. Now she is actively attempting to become one of the most influential spiritual leaders of this generation.
As far as the Christian ministers on Oprah's program, perhaps they have never had the chance to read Romans 1:26-27.....
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
The reality is that the vast majority of Americans are now bound up in a variety of sexual sin: adultery, fornication, pornography, lust, orgies, etc. etc.
We should dearly love everyone who is caught up in any type of sin and pray that they will turn to God and be set free.
These are the end times and the reality is that wickedness is going to continue to increase. As sin continues to prosper, may we all dramatically increase our love so that we may shine like lights in the darkness.
