A school district in California had an interesting money raising idea… have people buy memorial bricks and allow them to put phrases on them, then they were to be used in a wall at the school. BUT, some folks decided to quote Bible verses… well, we can’t have students see Bible verses… so they are scrapping the whole idea and returning $45,000.00 in cash! Wow! That Bible stuff must be REALLY dangerous!

California School District Cancels Fundraiser After Submission of Scripture-Inscribed Bricks

“A California school district has canceled a fundraising program featuring memorial bricks, scuttling proceeds of $45,000, after two women submitted Bible verses in their tributes.

The two women, Lou Ann Hart and Sheryl Caronna, had filed a court complaint in January against the Desert Sands Unified School District after the district blocked them from placing the Bible verses on bricks to be installed in walkways at Palm Desert High School in Palm Desert, Calif., about 10 miles east of Palm Springs. The women sought an injunction against the district to compel it to allow the scripture bricks.

Instead, school district officials have decided to rescind the fundraiser and refund money of every community group or individual who purchased a memorial brick, according to a court filing last week with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

The move has angered advocates of religious freedom in the public sphere.

‘Christians should be allowed to express themselves on public school campuses just like everyone else,’ David Cortman, an attorney for the Alliance Defense Fund, said in a written statement. Alliance Defense Fund, a conservative Christian organization, initiated the lawsuit for Hart and Caronna.

‘It is cowardly to shut down everyone’s participation in this program simply out of animosity toward Christian speech,’ Cortman said. ‘There is absolutely nothing unconstitutional about a Bible verse on a brick when a school opens up a program for anyone to express a personal message. The school could simply have allowed the Bible verses, but instead, it chose to punish everyone.’

Hundreds of other messages had been accepted for the bricks, Cortman’s organization said, including inspirational and religious themes, such as a quote from Mahatma Gandhi and a Bible quotation — ‘Yes, it is possible’ — written in Spanish.

Hart, of Palm Desert, and Caronna, of Rancho Mirage, were informed after submitting their bricks that they would not be included because the religious content risked an unconstitutional establishment of religion, Alliance Defense Fund officials said.”

This is neat. Think of it as a thought experiment. Imagine a regular swimming pool, with a “deep end” and a “shallow end.” There is a given amount of water in the swimming pool in total. That amount of water, we shall say, represents the total value of the economy. Basically, the total value of all of money available in the economy. If more water is actually produced (outside the system) and added to the economy, then, that would be the equivalent of adding water to the pool from an outside source.

However, this is not what is being proposed by the current administration. They say, instead, “Tax the rich!” Then, via programs of various sorts, they propose to give that money confiscated from “the rich” to “the poor.” This is the proposed plan.

However, let’s look at our pool. If we remove water from the deep end of the pool, and carry it around, and dump it into the shallow end off the pool, what happens? Nothing. The water level simply evens out. I can dutifully scoop up water all day from the deep end, and dump it in the shallow end, and, in the end, I will have accomplished nothing.

So it is with taking money from what “the rich” have produced and giving it to “the poor.” No water is really ever added, only re-distributed. Which, interestly enough, is what Obama said he wanted to do before he was elected. So, why should anyone be surprised?

It just goes to show, you have to go by the Word of God, not what man says!

Concerning the Last Days, and the “end of the world” prediction that is going around and being advertised widely right now, remember that THE BIBLE says that, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” (Matthew 24:36) The Amplified Bible is even more clear, “But of that [exact] day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matthew 24:36, Amplified)

My real concern, in listening to people talk about this, is that when tomorrow (May 21, 2011) comes, and goes, that they will not get discouraged, or lose faith. Don’t be troubled by cults, and false prophets!

2 Thess. 2:1,2 “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.”

Keep the TRUE FAITH! Don’t be deceived by false teachers! Amen!

NETCAST NOTES: The Word of God is the seed, your human spirit is the ground, and hearing the Word preached is how it is planted. Dr. Bill looks closely at the Parable of the Sower!

Let’s start with a few simple rules. God is right. He knows what He is doing. He is not confused. He wrote down THE TRUTH in a book we call “The Holy Bible.” If you are confused about what is TRUE, then go find out what God spoke out of His own mouth (that is, The Holy Bible.) The Bible says itself that God spoke it out of his own mouth, and that holy men of old then wrote it down. (2 Peter 1:20, 21)

Now, given that, why are some that claim that they are Christians so confused about who will be saved, and go to Heaven? Why are there some that deny that there is a literal place called “Hell?” Jesus believed in Hell, Jesus spoke about Hell, and said that it was a place of torment. The Bible teaches that:

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Matthew 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Matthew 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Matthew 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Those that receive the free gift of salvation will go to Heaven, those that do not receive the free gift of salvation (by doing what Romans 10:8-10 says) they will go to Hell. Simple, understandable. It doesn’t matter is you think it is “not fair,” or “inconvenient,” it is TRUE. God said it. That settles it. You should, therefore, believe it!

But, what are some calling themselves Christians saying?

Many Born-Again Christians Hold Universalist Views, Barna Finds

“One in four born-again Christians hold universalist thoughts when it comes to salvation, according to a new Barna analysis of trend data.

Twenty-five percent of born-again Christians said all people are eventually saved or accepted by God. A similar proportion, 26 percent, said a person’s religion does not matter because all faiths teach the same lessons.

And an even higher proportion, 40 percent, of born-again Christians said they believe Christians and Muslims worship the same God.

Barna defined universalism as the belief that all human beings will eventually be saved after death. The California-based research and polling firm defines born-again Christians as people who have made ‘a personal commitment’ to Jesus Christ that is still important in their life today, and who believe they will go to heaven after death because they confessed their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as their savior.

According to the Barna analysis, 43 percent of Americans in general agreed with the statement: ‘It doesn’t matter what religious faith you follow because they all teach the same lessons,’ while 54 percent disagreed.

Amazing. Jesus said, concerning Himself:

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

“No man cometh to the Father, but by ME (He said)… that is, Jesus… not Mohammed, not Buddha, not anyone else… ONLY the True Son of the Living God! It may NOT be politically correct… but it is simply TRUE!!!
