Serving the Christian Community
This video was made using Steven Curtis Chapman’s song For The Sake of The Call as well as pictures that I found at the moment I was making it and tried my best to match with the lyrics of the song. I give all credit to God, Monday Steven Curtis Chapman, and the people who made/took the pictures that inspired me to make this video. Please Enjoy.

To help dispel those misunderstandings and significant myths about Jesus Christ and his life, the United Church of God has released a free 132-page booklet, Jesus Christ: The Real Story. It describes the true, yet little-understood story about Christ and his surprising message that few comprehend today.
The booklet illustrates how Jesus Christ and his original followers were maligned, discredited and persecuted. Even though the same is true today, very few people understand why. The booklet asks and answers such questions as: Who was Jesus Christ? Where did he come from? What did he teach? Was he God in the flesh? Was he only a man? Why did he die? What was the real message he brought?
A copy of this new booklet, along with a subscription to The Good News magazine, is available free of charge at http://www.ucg.org/realstory or by writing to P.O. Box 541069, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45254-1069.
The world headquarters of the United Church of God is located in Cincinnati, Ohio. The nondenominational Christian church has members and full-time ministers in more than 350 congregations in 46 countries around the globe. Its flagship publication, The Good News, has a current circulation of 429,000. The church also publishes a host of other booklets and publications, all free for the asking.

The A.A. Christian’s Plight – a Typical Letter
Dick B. © 2011 Anonymous. All rights reserved
Today, I received the following letter from Anthony W. It is typical of those I receive with great frequency–often each day.
And his letter explains: (1) Why we convened the huge nationwide conference at Mariners Church in Irvine – a conference consisting of Christian leaders and workers in recovery who gathered to tell us their experience with what has become a nationwide, if not worldwide problem in recovery fellowships today. (2) Why we immediately founded International Christian Recovery Coalition–an informal and rapidly growing fellowship of Christian leaders and workers in recovery who, participating at no cost, are helping us make known the role that God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Bible played in the recovery movement long before A.A., played in the founding and successes of early A.A., and can play today. (3) Why we are encouraging Coalition members to establish Christian Recovery Resource Centers around the world–centers where people who want God’s help with alcoholism and addiction can find out how to begin, who to talk to, and where to go.
]]>
There are already 20 of these centers established in the U.S., UK, and Canada since the project was begun in January of 2011. Here is the typical letter I mentioned at the outset:
“Hello, Dick. I have been having a struggle in AA lately. Most people in AA do not attend a Christian church, and many are hostile towards God, Jesus, church etc. (they should list Jesus on their 4th Step resentments). To be fair, there are people I know in AA who do not mind that I or others attend a Christian church or believe in Jesus (of course they do prefer that I not openly discuss my personal beliefs, or “preach” to them). On the other hand, there are many Christians in churches that disagree with AA, calling it non-Christian or a cult. Most of them, if not all, have never read the Big Book or know the Christian (biblical) roots of the AA program. Again, to be fair, there are also Christians who approve of AA. Maybe I’m just too sensitive to negativity.”
To comment, to participate in the International Christian Recovery Coalition, to learn from our class about the founding of A.A., to establish a Christian Recovery Resource Center, and to obtain the books and articles that explain the problem, the solution, and the growing movement among Christians in recovery, please contact me at dickb@dickb.com

Silverton, OR (PRWEB) February 27, 2005
Contemplative prayer, yoga, Reiki, labyrinths, mantras, visualization, and spiritual directors
are overtaking evangelical churches. Who better to send out the warning than a former New Age medium who used the same practices as a New Ager that are now being called “Christian.”
As a kid, Brian Flynn experimented with Ouija boards and Tarot cards. After time in the Air Force, he became consumed with the occult. Later, he developed his skill for Transcendental Meditation and eventually had his own spirit guides. Through a series of events in his life, Brian was radically saved out of darkness, only to find that some of the same practices he used as a medium were being introduced into the Christian church as forms of legitimate meditation and spirituality. If you have ever wondered about Reiki, labyrinths, contemplative prayer, yoga, breath prayer and more, Running Against the Wind is a powerful must-read! Discover how these mystical and New Age practices tie in with some of today’s most influential ministries, organizations and churches including Purpose-Driven, Renovare, Willow Creek, and the Emerging Church movement.
Brian Flynn is the founder of One Truth Ministries and the Now Age seminars based out of Minneapolis, MN. He is a frequent guest on KKMS in the Twin Cities and shares his testimony and seminars at conferences, churches and groups around the country. He is a captivating speaker and quickly becoming a sought after authority on New Age and mystical practices that are entering the church.
