Dawn,
My "bucket list" (as they call it) would be the same as yours so, I hope you don't mind but, I just copied and pasted your response:
Get Married
Have at least one Child
See my family members become Christians
God Bless,
Tony Trout
I ran across those a few months ago when just searching for "Names Of God/G-d" on Google and bookmarked all of them. I still have NOT gotten through them all.
Tongues are un-Biblical? You have GOT to be *edited* me! As a person who recently re-dedicated himself to Christ and received the gift of tongues on the night of February 3, 2012, I (for one) believe that it IS Biblical.
I wish (now) that I had never, ever opened and read this thread because it's very discouraging......
They're also remaking "Dirty Dancing"! Personally, I think that's a slap in the face of the memory of Patrick Swayze. I, for one, don't think he'd go along with it if he were still alive.
I don't know about some of these reports but I did hear that he was shot through the forehead in the left eye and he held a woman in front of himself in defense before they shot and killed him.
By all accounts, this happened within a forty-minute timeframe last night in a gunfight.
That's really all that I know....I didn't hear of the report until Obama's speech last night.....
In regards to celebrities making political statements, I wish that some (ok...all) of them would take the viewpoint that Elvis Presley took when asked about politics. He said, "I'd just soon to keep my own personal views about that to myself because I'm just an entertainer".
I watched a snippet of the web broadcast of the supposed "healing" revival with Todd Bentley in Lakeland, Florida and...well...it seems to remind me of the "Brownsville Revival" or the "Toronto Outpouring" (if that's what it was called) and it just grieved me....this guy is supposedly in the same vein as Benny Hinn and other WOF teachers.....it's been said that people are being healed and delivered of addictions and lots of things but...I just don't know what to think....
I'm not saying that God can't do those things because I know He can....but it just seems that this Todd Bentley is just like all of the other WOF teachers/preachers....and it honestly makes me sick to my stomach.....
