Joie de Vivre A Wretched Man’s Quest To Follow Jesus Christ

Joie de Vivre will be relocating to a new host and operate under a new domain in the next couple of days.

Thank you very much for supporting this ministry all this while. The move will see the blog go through a makeover and most probably start afresh.

I’ll be posting the new location in a couple of days as soon as things are set up. I pray that you will continue to support the new ministry.

Shalom!

I am going through a bad case of bloggers’ block at the moment, but with so many thoughts on my mind I’d really like to share, I thought this a la carte series would be a good way to do so without having to kill too many brain cells trying to conjure up a decent post.

There Is A “The Other Side”

This video reminded me a lot of the time when my maternal grandpa passed away when I was very young. I still vividly remember the conversation that an aunt had with my mom when the latter asked what his last words were (we lived a distance away and wasn’t there when my grandpa passed on).

It is my privilege to be one of the authors at a new blog Contending. Defending. with some of the most God-fearing and faithful men in the Christian blogosphere — The Pilgrim, Bill Phillips, Coram Deo, The Desert Pastor, and Four Pointer.

About Defending. Contending. (DefCon):

The Christian faith is under attack from within. This blog is dedicated to defending truth and contending for the Faith from the wolves that have secreted themselves within the flock. This blog also exists to lift up Jesus Christ because when He is lifted up all men will be drawn unto Him.

This site is comprised of a community of Believers from around the world who contribute to this blog and it’s all done Soli Deo Gloria!

I’ll still be at Joie de Vivre, but will occasionally contribute new material at DefCon.

Do pay us a visit some time!

“Gasp! More of them true defenders?!”

Oprah Winfrey and her good friend Eckhart Tolle continue to lead more than two million down the wide open road to destruction while unashamedly twisting Scripture along the way.

I’m calling this phenomenon Opra-heresy from here on.

On a related note, there’s a new book out called Don’t Drink The Kool-Aid that exposes the spiritual deception extolled by Oprah Winfrey, Marianne Williamson (A Course in Miracles) and Eckhart Tolle. The book is available in paperback and for immediate download as an e-book.

I’m back with another installment where I share with you my favorite blog posts in the past week:

Have You Been To The Church Of “O”?

Are you a Christian woman or man who is intently following Oprah Winfrey’s series on The New Earth or even A Course in Miracles? Well, stop!

You’re listening to a woman who “took God out of the box” and thinks that God is “jealous of me” in her own words! Instead of finding out for herself what that word ‘jealous’ means, she goes on a search for something “more than doctrine” then lands herself right smack into the occult teachings of people like Marianne Williamson and Eckhart Tolle.

She’s just full of herself, really. As my wife pointed out, if she could interpret “jealous God” as “God is jealous of me”, we all know just who she is centered on! And now, she’s misleading millions down a slippery slope that ends in a plunge into the bottomless pit called HELL.

My thanks go out to Sidharth of Imrah Ministries and Understand Cancer for his kindness in awarding this blog with the Perseverance Award.

The Perseverance award is to “… acknowledge those bloggers who have invested their very life in their blogs so as to encourage, build and warn others.”

Hm… that sounds like I’ve got no life outside of blogging, but hey! though I don’t like to admit it, it’s quite true (to an extent)!

Jokes aside, it is now my honor to pass it on to the following seven people:

1. Hannah, for very, very good reasons.
2. Channel of Healing, for her wonderful uplifting pieces that always encourage.
3. Graham (I just love how he writes), and this award is for you, mate, for persevering to deliver those lovely posts of yours despite your recent issues with the computer.
4. Bobo B’Nai for persevering to deliver the Truth though he thinks only a handful read his blog.
5. Michelle, not just for her blog, but I admire her perseverance and her spirit. Her lovely daughter Jacqui is going through a rough patch of late, so please pray for Jacqui and Michelle!
6. Lance, for persevering though he had some issues at work recently.
7. King’s Kid, for authoring not just one, but three blogs (that I know of) that exhort and teach the Truth.

The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.

Amen.

Shabbat Shalom.

When Karen and I knew that we were to trust the Lord on His purpose for giving her such a heavy heart until she wrote her testimony down, we had no idea what the purpose(s) would be, and how He would surprise us.

We just saw that Christian Research Net (CRN) highlighted her testimony… I was shivering, and we were left speechless, and in awe of how God works!

CRN is a blog that both of us respect a ton (we are not exaggerating) and it’s on our daily must-read list.

This isn’t our glory, but God’s!

We pray that those who come to read it from the link at CRN are blessed by her testimony, and that Roman Catholics shall discern and leave that evil religious system as Karen did!

Soli deo Gloria!
