Removing God's Words For Filthy Unclean Words

-

Although he insists it was “purely for fun,” a hotel owner in Northwest England recently came under fire for switching out the Bible for a steamy, secular novel in its 40 guest rooms.


Damson Dene Hotel owner Jonathan Denby insists that removing the Gideons Bible in favor of E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey was not made due to any deep philosophical reasons. He told NBCnews.com that it was done “just because the novel is so popular.”  “Because everybody is reading Fifty Shades of Grey, we thought it would be a hospitable thing to do, to have this available for our guests, especially if some of them were a little bit shy about buying it because of its reputation,” Denby said.
The Damson Dene is located near England’s scenic Lake District, near the town of Crosthwaite. Denby bought the hotel from a Methodist group 10 years ago, and had been contemplating as to what to do with the Gideons Bibles that were placed in the rooms previously.
Fifty Shades of Grey has sold more than 31 million copies worldwide and is known for its graphic sexual nature. Denby told NBCnews.com that he himself had not read the book.
A local priest has been vocal of the hotel’s choice to switch out the Bibles.  “It’s a great shame that Bibles have been removed from rooms and very inappropriate to have been replaced by an explicit erotic novel,” Rev. Michael Woodcock of St. Mary’s Church in Croswaithe told The Westmorland Gazette. “The Bible remains a source of comfort and inspiration that many people do find helpful.”
Denby said he has received emails from people in the United States “quoting Scriptures to us and suggesting that it would be a good thing to put the Bible back.”
“People in the States feel much more strongly,” he said.  Denby said that the hotel would accommodate travelers who want to read the Bible, and that copies are available at the Damson Dene reception desk.

To The Nations (Lent) Repent From Sins To A Holy God

Blow the trumpet in Zion;  sound the alarm on my holy mountain!  Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,  for the day of the Lord is coming, it is near,  a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness!  Like blackness there is spread upon the mountains a great and powerful people;   their like has never been from of old,  nor will be again after them through the years of all generations. Fire devours before them,   and behind them a flame burns.  T he land is like the garden of Eden before them,  but after them a desolate wilderness,   and nothing escapes them. Their appearance is like the appearance of horses,   and like war horses they run.   As with the rumbling of chariots,   they leap on the tops of the mountains,  like the crackling of a flame of fire devouring the stubble,  l ike a powerful army ...

Jesus Is The Living Water

Jesus knew the Pharisees had heard that he was baptizing and making more disciples than John  (though Jesus himself didn’t baptize them—his disciples did).  So he left Judea and returned to Galilee.  He had to go through Samaria on the way.  Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.  Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime.  Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.”  He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food. The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans.  She said to Jesus, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?” Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.” ...

Sea Level Rise & Devastating Storm

A prayer for our earth by Pope Francis  All-powerful God, you are present in the whole universe and in the smallest of your creatures. You embrace with your tenderness all that exists. Pour out upon us the power of your love, that we may protect life and beauty. Fill us with peace, that we may live as brothers and sisters, harming no one. O God of the poor, help us to rescue the abandoned and forgotten of this earth, so precious in your eyes. Bring healing to our lives, that we may protect the world and not prey on it, that we may sow beauty, not pollution and destruction. Touch the hearts of those who look only for gain at the expense of the poor and the earth. Teach us to discover the worth of each thing, to be filled with awe and contemplation, to recognize that we are profoundly united with every creature as we journey towards your infinite light. We thank you for being with us each day. Encourage us, we pray, in our struggle for justice, love and peac...

Colorado Fires 'Like Armageddon' By Trevor Freeze http://www.billygraham.org/articlepage.asp?articleid=8793 Chaplains Encourage Those Struggling With Fire Fallout July 10, 2012 - Unlike hurricanes and tornadoes, there is no finality to a wildfire. Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplains have been ministering in this highly unpredictable disaster aftermath, where the Lord has been bringing people back to Him.   "That's God's hand on His people because He's not willing for one to be lost." — Pat Geyer, RRT chaplain in Colorado Springs Natural disasters come in all shapes, sizes and impacts. But after deploying to the Waldo Canyon Fire near Colorado Springs, Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplains are wondering — out loud — whether or not a fire is the hardest to deal with. "Fire to me is by far the scariest," said chaplain Kate Poll. "In a hurricane, you know when it's coming; you know when it's done. ...

COUNTERFEIT

But God’s truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and “All who belong to the Lord must turn away from evil.” 2Timothy 2:19 NLT Some things will never change.  One of them is the solidity of the truth of God's Word.  It matters not who tries to distort and malign it;  its foundation is unshakable.  One of the reasons I am confident in the Word is that God's Word is not discerned by the head, but by the heart of man.  The hearts of men and women of God cannot be tampered with.  Something else that always remains the same is the truth that God is very clear about those who belong to Him.  He is not confused at all.  Who are they?  They are the ones who claim to be His by turning away from all wickedness, with godly sorrow and genuine repentance.   Any mother who has given birth and seen her baby for the first time will from then on recognize as a fraud and sub...

Is Your Name In The of Book of Life? Daniel 7

Daniel 7 Amplified Bible (AMP) IN THE first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions in his head as he was lying upon his bed. Then he wrote down the dream and told the gist of the matter. 2 Daniel said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens [political and social agitations] were stirring up the great sea [the nations of the world]. 3 And four great beasts came up out of the sea in succession, and different from one another. 4 The first [the Babylonian empire under Nebuchadnezzar] was like a lion and had eagle's wings. I looked till the wings of it were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. 5 And behold another beast, a second one [the Medo-Persian empire], was like a bear, and it raised up itself on one side [or one dominion] and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, Arise, devour much flesh. 6 After this I loo...

Why Did Jesus Come to Earth?

Jesus Christ came into the world t o save you from all your sinners. It does not have anything to do with being good. Jesus is a gift from God to All people here on earth. 1 Timothy 1:15, “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” (Saint Paul speaking) Jesus Christ came into the world to call sinners to repentance. Mark 2:17, “When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Jesus Christ came into the world to seek and save the lost. Luke 19:10, “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Jesus came into the world to demonstrate the true purpose of life and give Himself a ransom. Matthew 20:28, “Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” Jesus Christ ...

May the Love of God be with you and the Peace of Christ surround you with the communion of the Holy Spirit today        Do not fret because of the wicked;  do not be envious of wrongdoers, For they will soon fade like the grass, and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; so you will live in the land, and enjoy security. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord;  trust in him, and he will act. He will make your vindication shine like the light, and the justice of your cause like the noonday. Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him; do not fret over those who prosper in their way, over those who carry out evil devices.      Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath. Do not fret—it leads only to evil. For the wicked shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land. Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no mo...
