		<description><![CDATA[It is no wonder that we have all wondered what heaven might be like. The Apostle John tried to relate what he saw when he was given a small glimpse of the heavenly realm in the book of Revelation. And, we find that he is trying to describe a perfectly holy and wonderful place with sin-stained eyes. In fact we find that for centuries scholars have been trying to figure out just exactly what the symbolism is behind the words of John. But when Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God in the gospels he often was not referring to heaven itself. Instead, we find that he is relating what God's kingdom was and is like and how it will be established in our world. Let's take a look at the kingdom parables this morning...<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pastorblastor.wordpress.com&blog=807242&post=699&subd=pastorblastor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I loved physics in school, especially the labs. It was fascinating to set up experiments. One of the labs we had to do was measure how fast is the speed of light. The speed of light is approximately 186,000 miles per second or exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. The web site instructables.com teaches you how to measure it in your kitchen using a large bar of chocolate, a microwave, and a metric ruler. You take the turntable out of the microwave, place the chocolate bar, usually only three squares of a large bar, inside on a paper plate, and turn the microwave on high and wait for pools of melted chocolate to form. Zap the chocolate for about 40 to 50 seconds. Then carefully take the chocolate out and measure between hotspots with the metric ruler. When you measure between hotspots it represents the half wavelengths of light.  You multiply this number by two, and then multiply that answer by the frequency of your microwave. This is usually 2,450,000,000 hertz or 2.45 gigahertz. That will give you the speed in centimeters per second.

However, the speed of the light of the gospel is instantaneous in that its message is always available and immediate in its impact on the life of an individual. Mark continues his account of Jesus using parables to teach about the kingdom of God and the gospel. And, here we find him teaching us that the gospel is to be shared and never hidden away. Jesus meant for his disciples to be light bearers of his gospel message after he returned to heaven. Jesus' disciples were to share the gospel at “light speed.” In fact, all of Jesus’ followers are to share the gospel message. So let me ask you a question this morning: What is your light speed? Let’s find out what Jesus says…<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pastorblastor.wordpress.com&blog=807242&post=697&subd=pastorblastor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While this might be the day we want to remember when the Berlin Wall fell and Communism was put on the run in Europe, it is a year we should remember that the American people's freedoms were confiscated from them and a new wall has been erected by Democrats. Brick-by-brick the assault and loss of our freedoms are startling in their downright in-your-face attitude and actions from this White House and the Democratic party. Let me count the ways:<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pastorblastor.wordpress.com&blog=807242&post=695&subd=pastorblastor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jesus used parables but they were not deliberately “mystic” nor was he trying to initiate people into some deeper religious practice. Rather, he spoke in parables so that those who had already been sensitized by the Holy Spirit would understand. We find Jesus talking about the subject of gospel gardening. His disciples did not understand what in the world he was talking about, so they privately ask him to explain it to them. Let's discover what Jesus meant as we also learn about gospel gardening today...<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pastorblastor.wordpress.com&blog=807242&post=693&subd=pastorblastor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seeds are such small superbly created things and yet mankind depends upon these tiny treasures from God in order to feed, cloth, or shelter himself. From a small seed can grow huge trees or the lowly squash. In fact, the maple that is growing outside of my front door is a tree that was started from a small seed. It now produces its own seedlings from helicopter-like seeds scattered by the wind around my yard and flower beds. It is amazing to me the message of God can be found in such a tiny thing, and that is why we find Jesus using the illustration of seeds to depict the kingdom of heaven and those who hear its message or not.Jesus often used parables in his teaching. Stories, that over and over again, his listeners had heard many times before, but he always put a new twist on them. And, Jesus used things that were familiar to his listeners. Many either ate for the day or went hungry depending upon how seeds were planted. It depended upon if there was enough rain or if the ground could support the seeds cast on it for a crop. So this morning we find Jesus using seeds in parables for a purpose. Let's find out how he does and perhaps discover exactly why...<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pastorblastor.wordpress.com&blog=807242&post=690&subd=pastorblastor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The beautiful old state of Maine faces a battle that will affect us all. Will they vote “yes” to maintain traditional marriage on November 3rd or will they not? Homosexual advocates are pouring in millions, while defenders are operating on a shoestring. This is a battle where gay activists are strong and sure and some opponents too clever by half. One thing is sure: If we believe marriage should be between a man and a woman, we’d better mobilize. But marriage is just one piece of this puzzle. Let me tell you why.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pastorblastor.wordpress.com&blog=807242&post=685&subd=pastorblastor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have all seen in situation comedies, or have experienced for ourselves, a pouting child that storms off into the next room while shouting to their bewildered parents, “You just do not understand me! NO one UNDERSTANDS ME!” The age old conflict of parents not understanding their children is nothing new. What can be just as difficult is when we think that the world does not understand us either. Surprisingly, we find these “misunderstandings” in the life of Jesus as well. Jesus’ ministry and his fame were beginning to grow. As it did, his teachings and his life began to threaten the powers that be and perhaps embarrass his family. Not only does his mother and siblings begin thinking he has lost all sense of reality, but those who considered themselves the teachers of all things regarding God also view Jesus as blasphemous. Why? Because Jesus was misunderstood. Let’s find out what happens, shall we?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pastorblastor.wordpress.com&blog=807242&post=683&subd=pastorblastor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NOTE: Sadly, there were Christians who voted for President Obama, thinking it would prove their own inclusiveness and racial blindness. But what we find in Obama is not someone Christians should ever trust, nor should they have ever voted for him for any reason. The proof is in those whom he has self appointed to positions of "Czars" within his Administration that are only answerable to him and not the American voter. Quite a few have proven their ultra-radicalism and antagonism toward American identity and to Christianity in particular. One such pervert, there can be no other moniker for the man, is Kevin Jennings. Take the time to go to some of the links provided in this article and as a believer it should not only make you pause, it should down right scare you. By the way, the author of this article is Ken Connor. He is an attorney and co-author of "Sinful Silence: When Christians Neglect Their Civic Duty." He is also Chairman of the Center for a Just Society. For more articles and resources from Mr. Connor and the Center for a Just Society, go to www.centerforajustsociety.org.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pastorblastor.wordpress.com&blog=807242&post=680&subd=pastorblastor&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
