4-24-2011 Maranatha Baptist

Easter Special!!!
Pastor: Gary Roten

Beginning this Lovely Easter Sunday With The Fammmm

Started it off with a Church Breakfast of Biscuits & Gravy, Bacon and frozen fruit, yum! lol


This church has a very accepting vibe, although it could have just been that this is my father's church, so they knew this crazy already.
Some Fam!

The Sermon was titled " Parable Of The used Staples"


He Was Saying how when he worked at the railroad and he had come to the decision of collecting and saving the staples he took out of the paper-work and putting them in a can to save, and here thirty some years later he has made this out of them.

He Was Stating how we are like used staples, feeling clump't and lame and when we are constructive and ready we can be made into something gorggeeous. I Liked it, very catchy and not pushy at all.

and although curiosity is encouraged, blowing bubbles and taking pictures is not <3 lol

Interview:


1) When did you decide to go into ministry and what made you make that decision?

"It was in 1976 I was sitting and studying the bible, having my notebook beside me and without conscious awareness I Wrote down a message that was from the Lord. I Had written " I Call to you to preach, and teach these words" and I have ever since"


2) How do you feel about Psychics, or familiars. Such as indigo Children?

"I Believe they are not of God. Simplistic view, either from him or not."


3)Have You Studied Other Religions Such As Zen, Wicca, or Buddhism?

"I Have A knowledge of them, not studied though because the Bible, is the real deal"


4)How do you feel about the claims of the world ending in 2012?

Told me to look up Matthew 24 and this is an excerpt:


4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
"29 “Immediately after the distress of those days

“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b]

30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.[d] 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other."

INTENSE! lol cuutie


5) How Do You Feel about Homosexuality???

" I Believe it is not right,If they come into this church I Will treat them with respect; but I feel it is not right."

Then he went on to compare being homosexual to being a drug addict. N00b!





Conclusion: Out-reach
