Justified or Incarcerated

"So Agrippa said to Paul, 'You have permission to speak for yourself.' Then Paul stretched out his hand and made his defense:  'I consider myself fortunate that it is before you, King Agrippa, I am going to make my defense today against all the accusations of the Jews,  especially because you are familiar with all the customs and controversies of the Jews. Therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently. 'My manner of life from my youth, spent from the beginning among my own nation and in Jerusalem, is known by all the Jews.  They have known for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion I have lived as a Pharisee. And now I stand here on trial because of my hope in the promise made by God to our fathers, to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly worship night and day. And for this hope I am accused by Jews, O king!  Why is it thought incredible by any of you that God raises the dead? '...

I've asked Guillermo Powell's of his notes, who was performing Ivan's and Tania wedding August 11, 2013.   I was encouraged by a wise council that came from his experience and God's word.  Here's his script:   " Charge to the Bride and Groom You both have travelled through this road called LIFE to find each other. In fact, in your case the road for Ivan started in Santa Fe, Argentina and took you through New York state, and Texas; and for Tania it started in DEEDICHI, Ukraine, to meet, in all places, in Bellingham, WA. Each comes with family backgrounds that are unique, different cultures, different personalities and experiences which have made you who you are today – and you obviously like each other! This road does not stop here; on the contrary, it becomes much more exciting now, it is wider and deeper, fuller and robust… because now you will walk it TOGETHER.

"The main problem for those young people was that their parents' churches were indeed pathologically shallow and worldly.  The students had grown up being entertained far more than they were spiritually fed.  When they began to move out of the youth group into the adult world, they were turned off by churches that simply could not keep up with changing styles.  In reality, even the trendiest seeker-sensitive churches were still wedded to the tastes and convictions of a modern, not a postmodern, generation."   This is the quote from the book "Ashamed of the Gospel" written by John MacArthur.  As I got involved in church ministry, I have noticed a big difference between my generation and my parents generation christianity.  I've asked my self constantly, what contributed a none passionate Christian culture?  In other words, why Christianity slowly sliding into a dry religion.  The word "God" or "Christ" mostly mentioned only in Sunday ch...
