Happy to Be Me! will help you to realize that you really are fantastic, and that there is nothing about you that needs to change. Nope, all that has to happen is that you must learn to like who you are. Once you have achieved this self-acceptance, good things are bound to happen. Upon truly becoming happy with yourself just as you are, you will undoubtedly begin to see God's destiny for your life begin to unfold. But you must first come to this place of acknowledgement of your awesomeness. Otherwise, God is completely powerless to help you.
So, as you prepare to make your donation of $25 or more in order to receive this "free" resource from Joyce Meyer Ministries, here is your week in review (kind of):
- Well, the new year is almost upon us, and you know what that means for many: time to start a new Bible reading plan! Nate Bingham provides a fairly extensive list of options for 2012. As 2011 draws to a close, I am finishing the M'Cheyne plan and recommend it highly.
- If recent posts haven't convinced you, it may be time to start seriously considering the fact that Beth Moore is merely pretending to be Protestant.
- The Cripplegate has provided a guide to their various series.
- It is finished. Praise God.
- If you missed the Christmas concert at Grace Community Church, here's an excerpt.
- Due to volcanic activity, a new island has arisen in the Red Sea.
- I wish some of today's "conservative Bible teachers" would listen to this, and heed it. It is true that bad company corrupts good character. Unless, of course, God lied to us in His Word.
- Speaking of bad company, Richard Foster's Renovare is promoting emerging heretic Tony Jones.
- It's that time of year again; time for random, unnamed people to determine which words and phrases should be banned from use.
- Now's your chance to start shopping for next Christmas. For the Titanic enthusiast in your life, you may want to bid on one of these authentic Titanic artifacts.
- Paula White has been named the new senior pastor of New Destiny Christian Center. I'll refrain from further comment...for now.
- The Cripplegate writes an open letter...to you.
- Voddie Baucham preaches about Modern Spirituality and your mind:
LOL, I love how these things come together. I ran across Voddie Bausham last week in researching the NCFIC apprach to Youth Ministry through watching their DVD segments online http://vimeo.com/ncfic
ReplyDeleteI was very impressed with Dr Baucham! He is now a permanent bookmark on my list of 'must listen to' preachers. It's encouraging that just when I think there are fewer and fewer solid preachers, the Lord sends me another to listen to. He is so Good.
I'll watch that video right now. Thanks for putting it up. As always, I enjoy the Friday This N That.
Just tuning in - thanks for the heads up - had not heard of Voddie B. but like EP, I too search for preachers who speak the truth.
ReplyDeleteJoyce Meyer, listened to her several years ago, has she changed, or have I.??.
WoW - 2012 - what a challenge for us all.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.!.. L-RD Bless.
Once again I want to thank you, EBenz, for all the work you put into this blog. I am so grateful to have found you earlier this year and now stop by every day.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you posted the Joyce Meyer material because this is an area where I need some help. I have several friends who think Joyce is the greatest thing since, well, Beth Moore, and I never know how to respond. They point out how "God doesn't make junk" and how women with low self-esteem don't honor God, etc. etc. I know there's a problem with their thinking, I just don't know how to respond. Can you or your readers give me some good answers?
thanks and wishing you the Happiest of New Years in our Lord!
