According to the website www.thecall.com
“It’s no secret that the Church has been paralyzed by sexual immorality and that families are under an onslaught. It’s time to come clean – it’s time for the Bride to be pure and get her voice back.”
In an effort to bring awareness to this plight, and bring the Church to repentance, they are calling for a 40 Day fast from May 28th thru July 7th 2007.
On July 7th , they will sponsor a ’silent prayer walk’ from The Parthenon to LP Field in Nashville.
According to the site. “We are seeking those who hear the call to repentance to arise, as we set the stage for the Call on 7/7/7. Saturday morning before 7 am, thousands will be gathering at Centennial Park to take this pilgrimage of repentance, as we march 2.7 miles through the heart of the city into the stadium. Here we will cross over the juncture of Church and 40 as a prophetic picture of the 40 years of a worldy wilderness being over. This is not a parade, celebration or protest – it is a time of intercession and repentance.”

Well…that is according to Sir Isaac Newton.
According to the AP, “Newton, who died 280 years ago, is known for laying much of the groundwork for modern physics, astronomy, math and optics. But in a new Jerusalem exhibit, he appears as a scholar of deep faith who also found time to write on Jewish law — even penning a few phrases in careful Hebrew letters — and combing the Old Testament’s Book of Daniel for clues about the world’s end.
In one manuscript from the early 1700s, Newton used the cryptic Book of Daniel to calculate the date for the apocalypse, reaching the conclusion that the world would end no earlier than 2060.”

Seriously….What does it mean to be a Christian?
Just in the recent weeks I have been withness to several things that would make the staunchest of Christians shake their heads in disgust.
I have been witness to bold face lies, deceipt upon deceipt, judgementalism (is that a word?), name calling, posturing, and power plays, all from supposed pastors.
I have seen some pretty stupid things in the church ranks over the years, and I have come to realize that most of the stuff that has happened could have been avoided by open and honest communication.
That’s called C O M M U N I C A T I O N! It means that someone speaks…and someone listens. USUALLY, it is done to where BOTH sides get to take turns speaking and listening.
Why is it that after we have been Christians for a few years, we feel the necessity to ACT like we have all the answers? Why is it most Pastors are afraid to admit they MAY NOT KNOW IT ALL? Why the need to feel in control?
Becoming a Christian doesn’t automatically make us wise beyond our years. It doesn’t all of the sudden make us know all the answers to all the questions. It certainly doesn’t make us THE authority on right and wrong.
Doesn’t the term ‘Christian’ mean ‘Christ-like’?
So…what are the characteristics of someone who is ‘Christ-like’?
Hmmmm….let’s see…Grace, Mercy, Compassion, Forgiveness.
So…back to my question….’What does it mean to be a Christian?’
Tell us your thoughts.
