FREE Doctorate of Divinity Degrees
To all who get ordained or reordained (renewal) as faith based Ministers with the Universal Life Church. No catch except you must have purchased our Basic Ministry Credentials and a Minister Picture ID Card. Why? Our objective is to present our ordained Ministers in a more professional fashion than any other Universal Life Church.

We are the only faith based Universal Life Church who ordains memebers of the clergy as Nondenominational Ministers or Independent Catholic Priests. Our Minister ID's are the most professional of all ULC's and our Certificates bear the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Furthermore in tribute to the Rev Dr Jerry Falwell, DD., and Rev Dr Billy Graham, DD., both had Christian Ordinations and Honorary, Doctorate of Divinity Degrees. It worked for them and it will work for you too.

Newly Ordained Ministers will receive their free Doctorate of Divinity with their OSM Membership/Ordination Certificate, provided they order a Minister Picture ID as well. Existing Ministers will receive there's upon renewal, provided they have purchased or will be purchasing a Minister Picture ID Card at the time of renewal.

These Degrees just like Dr Jerry Falwell or Dr Billy Grahan, it'll afford you the opportunity to use the Dr Prefix, and the DD Suffix to append to your name or title. Proper etiquette would be Rev. Dr Billy Graham, DD. These are honorary degrees, but make no mistake they are legal and binding and allow you to refer to yourself just the same as these iconic Ministers, The Rev. Dr Billy Graham, DD. and Rev. Dr Jerry Falwell, DD.

You can have the same exact credentials - Remember it is how you present yourself - Be professional

Get The Same Exact Christian Degree Rev Dr Billy Graham DD Had

We are the only Universal Life Church who can provide you with the same Christian Ordination and Christian Doctorate Degree had by Rev Dr Billy Graham, DD. Think a Christian Ordination and Christian Degree Does Not Make a Difference. Rev Billy Graham Wisely Saw the Need for a Doctorate!

Follow The Footsteps of Rev Dr Billy Graham D.D.

If you've lived awhile . . . recall how many times over the years you have heard the following:

> Dr. Billy Graham ... met today with President Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, Bush,...

> Dr. Billy Graham ... opens his City Wide crusade tonight in Some-City USA, ...

> Dr. Billy Graham ... released his latest book today selling X-number of copies sold...

From 1947-48 through 1990, I'm not sure I ever heard, or saw in print, just "Billy Graham", or just "Reverend Billy Graham". It was always Dr. Billy Graham, or in some cases, the Rev. Dr. Billy Graham.

The world never dreamed "The Reverend Dr. Billy Graham" was really just "Billy Graham" . . . as Billy Graham didn't have an earned or accredited Ph. D., he had an Honorary Doctor of Divinity.

Yet "plain" Billy Graham became the most influential religious leader of the 20th century . . . due in part to being "Doctor" Billy Graham, a rising young minister of great authority, and highest credentials: someone worth listening to, reading his books, and seeking his advice.

And seek his advice they did. Graham met with every US President from Harry Truman to Nixon-Carter-Reagan through George "W" Bush, whom Graham led to a "born-again" relationship with Jesus Christ.

Dr. Graham had the "ear of US Presidents", long BEFORE he had the "ear of the world." Please know that Dr. Billy Graham diligently sought the ear of presidents, BEFORE they sought him. Dr. Graham diligently "sought out" President Truman - pushed, pleaded, and finagled, for a meeting with Truman - quite some time, before getting one.

Meeting with President Truman got Graham's picture on the front page of leading US Newspapers, which made him famous, which caused reporters to interview him, in which he always maintained Presidential confidence - while giving Presidents highest praise and regard - which caused presidents to want to meet with him again and again: Great publicity for both, a win-win situation!

Dr. Billy Graham - was and is - much more shrewd than he 'appears' . . . which is also part of his wise shrewdness in a good way. Dr. Graham had enough 'common sense to act and behave common' . . . and wasn't stupidly arrogant and snobbish as so many "TV celebrity and big-name Ministers are today.

[NOTE: There is a lesson here for ministers. . . if they can learn it. Dr. Billy Graham was "wise in his generation" - as wise as the worldly leaders in media such as Ted Turner and Katherine Graham. Sadly, most ministers are not "wise (shrewd) as serpents" as Jesus commands us, . . . and as Jesus lamented - that most Christian Leaders are not as wise as the Children of the world. (More later on this parable)]

Dr. Billy Graham was listed as the 8th-Most-Influential Person of the 20th Century by Gallup. [SOURCE: Gallup, Wikipedia] It is indeed amazing . . . that a "Country Confederate Preacher" is ranked ahead of many thousands of presidents and world leaders over the last 100 years!

SIMPLE QUESTION:
Do you really think young Billy Graham. . . would ever have gotten to meet with American Presidents without a Doctor's Degree? Yet it was not an "earned-accredited" Degree from Harvard or Yale, . . . but a Degree earned by his faithfulness, sincerity and commitment, built upon his Bible School education, a Doctor of Divinity: just like the one you can have, if you can meet the requirements, exemplifying faithfulness, sincerity and commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Billy Graham's son Franklin is even more pronounced in his "credentials". Franklin claims the title of "Doctor" and the whole world so acknowledges him. He furthermore claims the title Reverend as an ordained minister. Do you know what Denomination/Ministers' Association ordained him? He was simply ordained by a fellow pastor.

Yet because Franklin - like his dad - "assumes authority", "acts with authority" and "claims authority", his Doctor's Degree is accepted by the world, and both he and the Kingdom of God benefit in the process . . .
all because of his foresight to add the Title "Doctor" to his name - not an earned Ph. D. - but an Honorary Doctor of Divinity.

Somehow, Billy Graham knew in his early years ... wisely and shrewdly ... that he needed the title "Doctor" - so he got one - neither accredited nor earned: but a true Doctor of Divinity none the less.

Religion or Relationship

We have to get out of religion and get into relationship. Get out of religion and get into Christ.
One of the greatest distractions to a relationship with Christ is organized religion.
Why is it a distraction?
Because it gives the appearance that you are getting closer to God when all they are trying to do is get you closer to them.

Support the church
Support the pastor's vision
Support our ministries
Support our congregation

with your tithes and offerings, with your volunteerism, your donations, your assistance, your participation, your attendance.
Now all these things have their place, but we have to be careful. Are we doing all these “things” for the benefit of man or to glorify God? We may believe we are doing it to glorify God but, where is the fruit? How many of these things listed above actually touch the true needs of people? Are they feeding the hungry? Are they visiting the prisoners? Are they caring for the widows in their afflictions? Are they visiting the fatherless? How many people in the “church” have their gas or electricity cut off or lose their cars and homes while under the “cover” of a church organization? What happened to that “covering?” I've heard it said that they didn't have enough faith or that they were in those situations because they didn't “tithe indeed.” Many of these poor souls sacrificed their last because a church organization appealed to them for their “support of the ministry” above they're own livelihood with the promise of a blessing that never comes.
Where does all that “support” go? Into the maintenance of an organization, building, staff, etc. or into the lives of people? If you are on the “Trustee Board” of a church organization, look at the books and ask yourself, “are we doing God's will or the mission of the church organization?” I can assure you that more than 60% (and upwards to 90%) of the “support” goes towards the maintenance of the organization.
Reading God's Word for yourself can be a great first step in getting to know the heart of God for your life. Stop listening to the “prophets” that deliver soothing words of comfort and promotion, then tell you that it is tied to your support. Give an offering (buy) for their teaching series, come to our “conference” to learn how to “manifest God's Glory” in your life...etc...etc...etc...

Rev 18:4 “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

Story of Lazarus - Dedicated to my cousins, Mary & Martha Talsky

Tomorrows Bible Reading, it is a tough one on me. Mary & Martha you know my thoughts and prayers are with you both. I miss each of you and your Mom, but know that a part of each of you live on within me. Mary - yes I am a liver pate addict and Martha yes we got lost going to Michael's funeral. To your Mom I love you Aunt Agnes, what I wouldn't give to go to one more Brewers game with you. Mary this picture was in your living room, you sent it to me shortly before you passed with those doggone foil stars that fell all over my floor. I love each of you!

Scripture Reference:

John 11:1-45

Story Summary:

Lazarus and his two sisters, Mary and Martha, were friends of Jesus. When Lazarus fell ill, his sisters sent a message to Jesus, "Lord, the one you love is sick." When Jesus heard the news, he waited two more days before going to Lazarus' hometown of Bethany. Jesus knew that he would do a great miracle for God's glory and, therefore, he was not in a hurry.

When Jesus arrived in Bethany, Lazarus had already been dead and in the tomb for four days. When Martha discovered that Jesus was on his way, she went out to meet him. "Lord," she said, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

Jesus told Martha, "Your brother will rise again." But Martha thought he was talking about the final resurrection of the dead.

Then Jesus said these important words: "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."

Martha then went and told Mary that Jesus wanted to see her. Jesus had not yet entered the village, most likely to avoid stirring up the crowd and calling attention to himself. The town of Bethany was not far from Jerusalem where the Jewish leaders were plotting against Jesus.

When Mary met Jesus she was grieving with strong emotion over her brother's death. The Jews with her were also weeping and mourning. Deeply moved by their grief, Jesus wept with them.

Jesus then went to the tomb of Lazarus with Mary, Martha and the rest of the mourners. There he asked them to remove the stone that covered the hillside burial place. Jesus looked up to heaven and prayed to his Father, closing with these words: "Lazarus, come out!" When Lazarus came out of the tomb, Jesus told the people to remove his grave clothes.

As a result of this incredible miracle, many people put their faith in Jesus.

John 11:1-45 (King James Version)

John 11

1Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

2(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

3Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

4When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

6When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

7Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

8His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

9Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

10But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

11These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

12Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

13Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

14Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

15And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

16Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

17Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

18Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

19And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

20Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

21Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

22But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

23Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

24Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

25Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

26And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

27She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

28And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

29As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.

30Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

31The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

32Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

33When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.

34And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

35Jesus wept.

36Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

37And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

38Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

39Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

40Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

41Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

42And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

43And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

44And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

45Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

Am I a Kook or is the ULC Modesto & Monastery Storehouse JUST WRONG?

The Universal Life Church in Modesto, CA., and this Monastery Storehouse in Seattle, WA.,

are attempting to portray me as someone who just doesn't know or as some kook.

Am I really a kook or is it I really know what I am talking about?

I don't claim to know everything about all faiths,

but I am the most educated Universal Life Church leader within my own Christian Faith.

The decision you make regarding your ordination, it is your decision,

but I suggest you get all the facts and do a little bit of research.

Click on The Respective Links For Source and/or Reference

#1 Size of a Church is not based on individuals ordained. It is based on congregational members or parishoners or those who attend services. We have far more parishoners and more who attend Church Service than either Modesto or Seattle combined. We are the largest Universal Life Church and yes we could be possibly considered a Mega Church.

Ref: The definition of a Megachurch from Hartford Institute for Religion Research

Ref: It is generally accepted that there are four classifications of churches, small, medium, large and mega. This article will add one more, tiny, as a subclass of small churches. It seems to be commonly accepted that the best way to classify a church is by average attendance rather than membership.

Ref: Andre (Hensley, Pastor of ULC Modesto speaking of the size of the ULC Modesto) said at its height in the 1980s, the church attracted about 100 people. That's down to about eight adults, seven children and a mastiff, a large dog that sat quietly except for barking when a stranger entered the church.

#2 Modesto or Seattle claim they offer interfaith or nondenominational ordination. This is impossible. They mean the complete opposite of each other. Interfaith means all faiths or more than one. Nondenominational means one faith and that is Christian, but not devout to any one sect of belief therein.

Ref: In Christianity, non-denominational institutions or churches are those not formally aligned with an established denomination, or that remain otherwise officially autonomous.

Ref: The terms interfaith or interfaith dialogue refer to cooperative and positive interaction between people of different religious traditions (i.e., "faiths") and spiritual or humanistic beliefs, at both the individual and institutional level with the aim of deriving a common ground in belief through a concentration on similarities between faiths, understanding of values, and commitment to the world.

(Kirby Hensley despised Christians

and ridiculed the Christian Faith)

Ref: Among his more memorable comments:

I always stand for freedom, food and sex. That's all there is. It sets people free.

Jesus was a good actor.

The Bible "is full of lies from one end to the other."

It's a thin line dividing genius and idiot. I think I'm on the genius side.

We're coming up on the 21st century and there's not one verse of Scripture in the Bible that will take you beyond the 20th century.

I believe I was a comedian and two-bit lawyer (in an earlier life) because I've had more lawsuits than anybody.

I just want to raise all the hell I can, and get all the kooks and what-have-you as churches; then they (the government) will have to tax them all.

In 1968, he ran for president; one of his platforms was "civil treatment for visitors from other worlds." The following year, he ran for governor. In 1984, he declared the birth of a new nation — his church. In 1986, he celebrated his coronation in the "Kingdom of Aqualandia" and offered a combo deal: kingdom citizenship and a ministerial charter for $35.

#3 Modesto or Seattle do not offer legal faith based ordination. Faith based ordination is defined as ordination within the Christian faith and only within the Christian faith.

Ref: The term 'faith-based' is a neologism (coined in the 1970s), mostly current in US English, to describe any organization or government idea or plan based on religious beliefs, specifically Christian beliefs

#4 Modesto or Seattle do not adhere to any doctrine of faith, in fact as Wikipedia states their one doctrine of faith, if it can even be considered such is to do that which is right.

Ref: The ULC has no traditional doctrine, believing as an organization merely in doing "that which is right."

#5 With exception to serving as a wedding officiant, anything else available to you as an ordained Minister with Modesto or Seattle is already afforded to you under the 1st Amendment. Modesto or Seattle ordinations provide to you but one right by statute and that is to serve as a wedding minister.

Do you want to be an ordained Wedding Minister or

Do you want to be a legal & real Faith Based Minister?

WE ARE THE ONLY UNIVERSAL LIFE CHURCH TO OFFER LEGAL FAITH BASED ORDINATION

As a true, legal, real Faith Based Minister, you can serve as a wedding officiant, but you are also ordained within and recognized as a legal and real Minister within the Christian Faith.

Those Within The Christian Faith Will View & Accept You as a Real Faith Based Minister

Real Ordination = Real Ministers http://www.ulcnetwork.com

Do you think Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell, Jesse Jackson, etc., etc., or even the Ministers or Priests at every Church in your community was ordained by the ULC in Seattle or Modesto?

NO I HIGHLY DOUBT IT. Again the decision you make, it is your decision.

Personally I can't embrace either as a legitimate Church, not because Ministers are limited to one attribute afforded in accord with statute to serve as wedding officiants, but because both the Universal Life Church in Modesto and this Monastery Storehouse in Seattle embrace satanism and atheism, they are famous for ordaining followers of satan and atheists.

What Would Jesus Eat?

Thursday, November 13, 2003

By Rebecca Sodergren Ref: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Among evangelical Christians, that's been a popular question in recent years. At first, the question was simply "What Would Jesus Do?" shortened to "WWJD" on bracelets and bumper stickers. The acronym reminded people to think about what Jesus would do before acting in a given situation.

But since then, "WWJD" has morphed into commands for specific areas of life. "What would Jesus drive?" the recent anti-SUV campaign. "How Would Jesus Raise a Child?" a new release in the Christian bookstores.

And last summer: "What Would Jesus Eat?: The Ultimate Program for Eating Well, Feeling Great, and Living Longer." There's also a companion, "What Would Jesus Eat Cookbook."

The author of both, Dr. Don Colbert, is a family physician in a practice of more than 20,000 patients in Orlando, Fla. Seeing people "making the same dumb mistakes," getting the same diseases after years of choosing fast and processed foods, Colbert says, he wanted to educate people about how better nutrition can ward off disease.

But with a title like "What Would Jesus Eat?" and with some of the corresponding content of Colbert's book, he has done what other nutritionists have not usually done: He has raised nutrition to a religious and theological level.

A recent check of Christian bookstore shelves revealed that food, nutrition and dieting are popular topics of books in the "Christian living" section. Yet most Christian authors don't go so far as to mix food and theology. We looked at several Christian books that keep food to an "eat this and you'll feel healthier" approach.

So why did Colbert take the more theological road?

"I thought I'd go back to the training manual -- the Bible -- and see what Jesus ate. Lo and behold, Jesus ate the healthiest diet ever developed, the Mediterranean diet."

Colbert's primary goal, then, was to promote healthful eating habits, but looking to the Bible for his subject matter at times propelled his book into theological waters.

What did Jesus eat?

Few Bible passages actually show Jesus eating.

Comb your memory and you might come up with Luke 24:42, where the post-resurrection Jesus shows his disciples he's not a ghost by eating broiled fish and honeycomb.

Other passages infer that Jesus either ate or would have permitted eating certain foods: bread and wine at the Lord's Supper; wine at the wedding at Cana; bread and fish at the feedings of the multitudes.

But Colbert goes further with his inferences.

Because Jesus was a Jew, Colbert says, he would have followed Old Testament dietary laws -- for instance, laws governing clean and unclean animals and fish. These laws were specific: cattle, sheep and goats were allowed; hogs were not. Fish with fins and scales were allowed; catfish, crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, shrimp), mollusks (clams, mussels) and others were not.

As Colbert says, Jesus would not have eaten an Easter ham.

Colbert also assesses Jesus' culture and decides what he would have eaten based on what was available. Fish was widely available; beef was saved for special occasions, such as the prodigal son's return. So, Colbert says, Jesus probably ate fish on a daily basis but beef not more than once a month.

Other staples in Jesus' diet, according to Colbert's assessment of the culture, would have been bread and other whole grains, vegetables, fruits and olive oil.

And Colbert believes Jesus taught diet by example, so he says we should eat the same foods today.

Colbert's WWJE diet

Not that Colbert takes a hard line on all "bad-for-you" foods. (Yes, it's OK to have a slice of cake on your birthday, he'd say.)

His goal, he said in a telephone interview, is to get people to make more healthful choices, even if it's only one step at a time.

In his practice, he tells people that if they don't think they can implement the whole diet plan, "they should start with one thing -- drink water instead of Cokes, or use extra-virgin olive oil instead of butter."

He wants people to see that health is based largely on choices.

"You can't always blame it on 'my genetics' or 'my thyroid,' " he said. "That little thyroid has been unfairly criticized for years.

"Christians nowadays need to take responsibility for their health. So many people go to healing meetings and so on when they need to realize they get a lot of diseases because of making the wrong choices."

The medical evidence he uses to back up his stances is probably the book's most convincing material. Colbert cites myriad studies showing that people who eat a Mediterranean diet -- as Jesus would have -- suffer less heart disease, cancer and other diseases.

To encourage good food choices, such as the Mediterranean diet's "living foods" (fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts), Colbert starts his first chapter by telling readers to ask themselves two questions before putting anything in their mouths: "Why do I eat this?" and "Would Jesus eat this?" For the first, he cites such reasons as nostalgia for childhood favorites to answer why people make poor food choices.

The remainder of the book attempts to answer the second question. That one is tougher, in part because Jesus didn't live in modern-day America. Colbert is forced to speculate, concluding that Jesus wouldn't eat Twinkies but would eat soybeans.

What do others believe?

Those areas of speculation are sticky, in part because other writers have come to conclusions different from Colbert's.

The Christian Vegetarian Association (www.christianveg.com), for instance, teaches that the Bible mandates a vegetarian diet, citing such passages as the prophecies that show a lion and lamb lying down together. This group would say Noah was granted permission to eat meat only because the flood-decimated world left him few food options, but other people aren't supposed to eat meat.

Other scholars would take issue with Colbert's promotion of Old Testament food laws, such as not eating "unclean" animals and making sure all blood is drained from meat -- some of the kosher laws practiced by many Jewish people today.

Colbert's critics would say the New Testament freed Christians from Old Testament food laws and placed them under a new era of grace. To them, Colbert writes, "Let me respond this way: God is giving you the grace today to learn about His law and to live according to it."

But in a phone interview, Colbert seemed to contradict his book.

"No, we're not under the Old Testament law in the New Testament era," he said, "so you don't have to avoid all the forbidden foods from Old Testament laws. Just don't eat them all the time -- don't have bacon every day for breakfast."

But he maintained that the Old Testament laws do retain their usefulness because "God intended them to protect the Israelites from disease."

Those laws may have had the side effect of warding off disease, but T. David Gordon, associate professor of religion at Grove City College, disputes the notion that that was their purpose.

"The book of Galatians tells us that three things were intended to make the Israelites distinct from the other nations around them: circumcision, the calendar [observance of religious holidays] and the dietary code. These things were intended to mark the Jewish nation as the people of God."

Many New Testament passages seem to teach that the dietary code has been repealed. In Romans, Paul says one man believes it's OK to eat anything, but the "weak" man eats only vegetables. In Acts, Peter sees a vision from Jesus, who commands him to "Rise, kill and eat" a host of unclean animals.

And in Mark 7, Jesus himself seems to jettison Old Testament notions of clean and unclean foods: "Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?"

Even though Jesus was a Jew, Gordon is not as certain as Colbert that he followed Old Testament food laws. He notes that Old Testament laws addressed not only what kinds of foods were eaten, but also with whom they were eaten -- unclean people were as taboo as unclean foods. Yet Jesus had a propensity for hanging out and even eating with unclean Gentiles, so perhaps he wasn't so fastidious about his food, either.

But the larger question, as Gordon sees it, is not so much what Jesus would eat but whether Jesus intended to make rules on the subject at all -- whether he should be seen as a self-help guru.

"I don't think Jesus would raise the question at all, nor would he be content with our coming up with a list" of what to eat and what not to eat, Gordon said. "Certainly it's fair to ask whether we're being good stewards: Do we in America eat more meat than we probably should?"

But a conversation about general principles such as stewardship, as he sees it, is different from making food rules seem like a primary concern of the Bible.

Is Jesus' diet a valid question?

Modern American evangelicals, Gordon believes, are often fixated on laws.

This fixation stems in part, he says, from a belief that the Bible has a specific, absolute answer for every single situation and choice we face in life.

Yet things often aren't so clear-cut in the Bible, he says.

In writing his book about ethics, Gordon has been researching modes of ethical thought in the Bible. Only one is law.

The one he believes is deeply undervalued in evangelical thought is wisdom.

"The book of Proverbs tells us to go out and learn about the world through our experience," he says. "It tells us to go ahead and sleep all day and then find out that we'll have nothing to eat in the wintertime. It tells us to figure the world out and make wise decisions."

Yet he says modern American Christians are more likely to look for an absolute command: " 'Thou shalt not drink Coca-Cola,' instead of, 'I'm going on a long drive, and Coca-Cola helps me stay awake, so maybe I should drink it today.' "

He would urge caution in ascribing food rules to Jesus instead of making personal, situation-based choices using wisdom. "Why did God give you eyes and ears and a tongue?"

Not that Colbert always gives hard and fast rules about food. Though seemingly unclear on the point about whether Old Testament food laws still apply, he does allow for leeway in the diet; such as eating cake on your birthday. The question is whether people, legitimately wanting to follow Jesus, will interpret Colbert's teaching as law.

That's the danger spotted by Mark Galli, who reviewed Colbert's book for Christianity Today.

"I ... fault whoever came up with the misleading title, which suggests that if we imitate Christ in this way, we'll start 'feeling great and living longer,' " Galli writes, noting that the New Testament promises, conversely, that Christians will suffer.

Galli, in fact, takes issue with the whole question, "What would Jesus...?"

"Perhaps Jesus never intended his disciples to slavishly imitate him," he writes. "Notice that he never uses the idea himself. All he says is 'Follow me.' Paul often employs the idea of imitation to call his readers to deeper discipleship. But the context is always about living by overarching Christian principles, not slavishly copying what Paul or Jesus did."

Is Colbert advocating slavish copying?

That's the question.

On one hand, he says unequivocally that Jesus taught us what to eat by his example -- and he bases an entire diet plan on that example.

On the other hand, in a phone interview, he made it clear that he doesn't make food the final issue in Christian belief.

He tells his patients they can eat foods prohibited in the Old Testament and "they'll still go to heaven. I just tell them they'll go there a lot sooner."

HUMMUS

This is a variation on Dr. Don Colbert's recipe for hummus, which is one of his favorite foods in the "What Would Jesus Eat?" diet plan. His version involves buying dried garbanzo beans, soaking them, then cooking them until they've softened a bit. We couldn't find dried garbanzo beans, so we substituted canned ones, uncooked.

2 cups garbanzo beans (one 15-ounce can plus part of a second one)

1/2 cup tahini (see note)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

Juice of 2 medium lemons

1/2 teaspoon Celtic salt

1/2 teaspoon cumin

Puree in food processor until smooth. Store in refrigerator. Serve with pita bread, crackers, vegetables or other dipping snacks.

Note: Tahini is a sesame seed paste typically found in health food stores.

From Beliefnet - Will Church Bells Become Illegal?

Christians in the United Kingdom have freedom of religion and free speech. However, they are finding themselves under attack. A Christian legal organization in the United Kingdom reported a skirmish victory in the war against Christians and their churches – the demand that they essentially be silent in their worship.

The Christian Legal Centre in the United Kingdom reported a few months ago a “last-minute out of court settlement” that would allow a 600-member church in London to continue its worship. The Lambeth Council previously had issued a noise abatement notice to the All Nations Centre in Kensington which prevented the church from ringing church bells or using any amplification for its worship music and its pastor’s preaching.

The noise abatement order was issued without warning or discussion. The church had been in the same location for more than 45 years.

British attorney Onn Sein Kon said he has noticed an increasing number of attacks on churches because someone can hear the worship.

“What is really going on here is action by secularists to try and restrict Christian freedom and expression in this country. We will do all we can at the Christian Legal Centre to oppose such discrimination.

“Regrettably, our case load is increasing with councils issuing noise abatement notices as a means of curtailing or closing churches in London,” Kon said. “Success in this case sends out a clear message that this method will not work. These churches are vibrant and growing and play a critical part in their communities.”

Immanuel House of Worship in London, also has been silenced because the sound of its worship drew a complaint from a single Muslim neighbor. The church was targeted by a noise abatement order even though local government officials had tested – and approved – its sound plan.

Phoenix pastor convicted and sentenced

In the U.S., a battle over a church’s “noise” also developed in Phoenix, Arizona, where three worship centers now have brought legal action against the city after the Rev. Rick Painter of Christ the King Church was convicted and sentenced to three years probation and a 10-day suspended jail sentence for ringing his church’s electronic chimes.

A lawsuit was filed by the Alliance Defense Fund on behalf of Painter and his congregation – and was joined by St. Mark’s Roman Catholic Parish and the First Christian Church . Their complaint notes that city officials wrote into the noise ordinance an exemption allowing ice cream trucks to play loud music but refused to include a similar exemption for church bells.

Nevertheless, Painter was convicted on the strength of one Muslim neighbor’s complaint.

“Churches shouldn’t be punished for ringing their church bells,” said attorney Erik Stanley. “The law is being abused to silence a form of worship that has peacefully sounded throughout the streets of our nation since its founding. No one should be sentenced to jail and probation for doing what churches have traditionally done throughout history, especially when the sound of the church’s bells does not exceed the noise level that the law allows for ice cream trucks.”

The Alliance Defense Fund earlier had battled in San Francisco over orders there that a team of Christians who were doing street theater and concerts turn down their volume. Christian evangelists who were preaching on street corners and in city parks were cited for their noise even though in one incident, authorities refused to cite another group that was using an 80-watt amplifier only 15 feet away from the Christians.

CBS News, 60 Minutes & The IRS Attacks ULC Modesto

IT'S TIME FOR AMERICANS & CHRISTIANS TO FIGHT BACK
TO TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY AND OUR CHURCH AND
FOR MEN & WOMEN TO GET ORDAINED
FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS.

We're The Only REAL Universal Life Church that follows our original doctrine of faith and adhere's to that of our 2nd Century origin of our founding Churches.

We're The ONLY Universal Life Church that offers REAL FAITH-BASED ORDINATION The Universal Life Church Where Our Ministers Are More Than Just Wedding Ministers

http://www.ulcnetwork.com

As leader of today's Christian, Universal Life Church one of my primary duties is to restore our Churches good name. Our Churches origin dates back to the 2nd Century, not to 1962 as stated by the self-proclaimed Modesto Messiah, Kirby Hensley. Hensley started "LIFE CHURCH" not the "UNIVERSAL LIFE CHURCH" in 1959 from his garage, Hensley only incorporated in 1962 using our Universal Life Church name. The word Universal comes from the Greek Language and means Christian or Catholic. It is the name of what was perceived to be the first Christian Church with an origin of within the 2nd Century, long before this villified, anti Christian, self proclaimed Messiah ever walked the face of the earth.

For CBS & 60 Minutes News Story and article

IT'S TIME TO FIGHT BACK.

The Hensley Universal Life Church is Anti-Christian, Anti-Bible, Anti-Jesus, Anti-Christ

Hensley Quotes:

Among his more memorable comments:

* I always stand for freedom, food and sex. That's all there is. It sets people free.

* Jesus was a good actor.

* The Bible "is full of lies from one end to the other."

* It's a thin line dividing genius and idiot. I think I'm on the genius side.

* We're coming up on the 21st century and there's not one verse of Scripture in the Bible that will take you beyond the 20th century.

* I believe I was a comedian and two-bit lawyer (in an earlier life) because I've had more lawsuits than anybody.

* I just want to raise all the hell I can, and get all the kooks and what-have-you as churches; then they (the government) will have to tax them all.

In 1968, he ran for president; one of his platforms was "civil treatment for visitors from other worlds." The following year, he ran for governor. In 1984, he declared the birth of a new nation - his church. In 1986, he celebrated his coronation in the "Kingdom of Aqualandia" and offered a combo deal: kingdom citizenship and a ministerial charter for $35.

Jesus is not an illegal word - From Beliefnet

Ref: Beliefnet

A professor at the University of California at Los Angeles last spring prohibited a graduating student from saying “I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” in her own graduation speech. Christina Popa says other students were permitted to have their speeches read aloud at a pre-graduation ceremony. Christina was told she would also be allowed, but only if she didn’t mention Jesus.

UCLA Biology Professor Dr. Pamela Hurley censored Christina’s proposed speech, saying: “UCLA is a public university where the doctrine of separation of church and state is observed.”

The professor proposed a censored version of Christina’s proposed speech, deleting any reference to Jesus Christ.

When Christina objected, Dr. Hurley threatened, “If you prefer, Christina, I can read none of what you wrote. I am very sorry that this is a problem for you.”

Former Navy chaplain Klingenschmitt understood all too well. His career ended when he refused to quit praying in Jesus’ name.

“I am not Christina’s personal spokesman, but I admire her courage,” he said. ”Jesus is not an illegal word, and UCLA has no business censoring her speech, especially if they claim to celebrate ‘academic freedom.’

“Instead, Dr. Hurley has terribly misapplied her own twisted idea of the separation of church and state. As a Government school, UCLA has absolutely no right to prohibit Christina’s freedom of religious expression, and she’s earned the right to speak her own words at her own graduation.

“UCLA is crossing the line of separation, not Christina, and we pray UCLA will repent of their anti-Christian discrimination.”

Universal Life Church - Important Facebook News

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO
EVERYONE WHO USES FACEBOOK!

Click Here or the banner captioned above to Like & Join The
Official Universal Life Church Community Page on Facebook

Have you noticed that you are only seeing updates in your newsfeed from the same people lately? Have you also noticed that when you post things like status messages, photos and links, the same circle of people are commenting and everyone else seems to be ignoring you?

Don't worry, everyone still loves you and nobody has intentionally blocked you. The problem is that a large chu nk of your friend/fan list can't see anything you post and here's why:

The "New Facebook" has a newsfeed setting that by default is automatically set to show ONLY posts from people who you've recently interacted with or interacted the most with (which would be limited to the couple of weeks just before people started switching to the new profile).

In other words, unless your friends commented on one of your posts within those few weeks or vice versa - you are now invisible to them and they are invisible to you!

HERE'S THE FIX: On the homepage click the "Most Recent" title on the right of the Newsfeed, then click on the drop down arrow beside it and select "Edit Options", click on "Show Posts From" and change the setting to "All Of Your Friends and Pages" (you can also access the "Edit Options" link at the very bottom of the facebook homepage on the right)

The good news is: now you can now view all of your friends and fans again. The bad news is: YOU ARE STILL INVISIBLE to a large portion of your list. You must get the word out to ALL of your friends and fans by sharing this with them.

Your in Christ,

~ Brother Michael

Universal Life Church - What Do Your Ordinations say?

I will state this, there are other ULC Ordinations that includes a major grammatical error.

Remember

I = memeber - You = member

I am a memeber of the clergy who serves you the member of the congregation

Ref: Google memeber of good standing

Ref: Google memeber

Lets say your ordination certificate says so and so is a member of the __________. What is this saying?

Even Wikipedia States: A local church is a Christian religious organization made up of a congregation, its members and clergy

Are you as a minister a member of your congregation? NO YOU ARE NOT

MEMBER IS WRONG - AGAIN

I = memeber - You = member

I am a memeber of the clergy who serves you the member of the congregation

REV JOHN SMITH is a MEMEBER in Good Standing it is not REV JOHN SMITH is a MEMBER in Good Standing.

Get ordained by a professional organization that knows.

If you want to join a congregation as a member, do so?

Universal Life Church - Religious Definitions and Professionalism

Religious Definitions & Professionalism

One of my biggest objectives as leader of the Universal Life Church is to legitimize its name in the eyes of the world. Let us make no mistake, there's many and with just reason that look upon the Universal Life Church as a scam. It is not a scam as much as it is a lack of education by leaders thereof, myself excluded.

I have four sisters, three of which who used to be Nuns, two of the three did not make their final vows. I went to a Christian grade school, a Christian High School and a private College with post grad seminary studies. I am well educated from a Religious standpoint.

I've spent a great deal of time arguing with Amy Smith Long who is a Minister with Modesto who operates what she refers to as a seminary, we were arguing over the meaning of the word universal. We are a Church, a Religious Organization, we are Ministers, I could give a doggone what a Webster's Dictionary says. If we were politicians or travel agents, the definition provided by Websters is more acceptable, but the fact is we are Churches and/or Ministers and we must look at it from a Religious Prospective.

From a Religious Prospective Universal means Catholic, it is derived from the Greek Language and it mean's the one. You can run around and argue such all you want, but what is it you will accomplish?

You will make yourself look uneducated, unprofessional and frankly like a real idiot.

Like it or not, Kirby started Life Church and added Universal more than likely not knowing the implications the word Universal would have. Universal was fine for his political party with Gabriel Green, but for a Church who ordained non-Christians?

More unprofessionalism, more lack of knowledge and the choice

of name by Modesto is another example of misguided leadership.

Just like my previous blog with memeber or member, George Freeman used to always ask me why there was such a lack of professionalism on his Minister's Network.

The professionalism of you as a Minister starts at the top.

How can you be viewed as a professional minister when your ordination certificate makes it appear you are a member of the congregation instead of a Minister? Or the leader of your so called organization has little or no education.

I as a leader I demand professionalism from each and every member I ordain. Why? Because it is a reflection of each and every individual that is a memeber of the ULC Clergy or a member of the ULC Congegation, be-it mine or any other Universal Life Church. It will reflect how we are personified to the public sector as a Religious organization. If we want to be respected as a major Religious Organization we must earn that respect and that is not going to come unless it starts at the top.

Our ULC has absolutely no issues with any wedding authority anywhere. Our Ministers perform ceremonies where other ULC's ministers can't. Part of this is because we are faith based and we have a real doctrine, but also part of it is also the professionalism our Ministers.

We include verification letters Free of Charge (what one organization calls a Letter in Good Standing and charges $15-$25 with P&H for each).

Why do we include these free????

Do you honestly believe real faith based Ministers have to purchase a LETTER IN GOOD STANDING from their Church, to allow them to officiate weddings.

That is why reputable ULC's provide Ministry Credentials, including an optional PICTURE Minister's ID Card. If a County Clerk or Wedding Authority needs verification from the Church over and above that? A Minister should again not be expected to have to pay for a verification letter, such is not very professional now is it.

We charge for a Basic Ministry Credential Kit and our Minister PICTURE ID, just like

any other ULC. In fact our cost is less. Just like other ULC's our ordination is FREE.

If your Church does not offer Minister Picture ID's it is for good reason and you'd be well advised to stay clear of that Church, non-picture ID's are worthless and again not very professional.

PROFESSIONALISM STARTS AT THE TOP & TRICKLES ON DOWN TO EACH AND EVERY MINISTER THIS IS WHY I PREFER TO LEAD BY TEACHING MY MINISTERS & FOR MANY OF THESE BLOGS I WRITE

My decision to ordain only Non-denominational Ministers or Independent Catholic Priests is simple, that is all I am qualified to do and I refuse to compromise the professionalism or integrity of the Universal Life Church name by ordaining those of other faiths, even though ordinations like other ULC's would primarily constitute as being nothing more than that of a wedding minister ordination, over and above what is already allowed to you without ordination by the 1st Amendment.

The Universal Life Church Deserves Respect

The origin, history and tradition of the Universal Life Church is one that deserves respect.

Yes, Kirby Hensley in 1959 started "Life Church" from his garage and in 1962 he incorporated his "Life Church" under the name of Universal Life Church, but this is not the origin or the beginning of the history of the esteemed tradition of this Church with a Christian name.

Hensley's Church has had its fair share of issues with the IRS, the authorities and with its Ministers. It has also had its detractors, as many do not even view it as a Church, but rather as a Church without a doctrine, or as an alleged safehaven for draft dodgers, or folks not willing to pay taxes or a breeding ground for unqualified so called members of the clergy to condone or illicit such illegal acts as drug use and etc.

I don't care what the public perception of Hensley is, I don't care what public perception is of me, the Universal Life Church name is one that demands and deserves respect. The name actually dates back to the 2nd Century long before the world ever knew Kirby Hensley. Hensley simply borrowed our Churches name.

Yet regardless of who claims or how the origin of the Universal Life Church materialized.....

No different than with our Sister Church, the Roman Catholic Church it has had issues through the years as well. The Universal Life Church has unfortunately had an occasional Minister convicted or accused of child abuse or some other crime, no different than with the Church in Rome.

Yes UNIVERSAL and CATHOLIC are but one with respect to definition. The Universal Life Church name, just the same as the Roman Catholic Church name both demand respect. Both Christian Churches have a great number of men and women who have devoted their lives to serving our Lord Jesus Christ.

You can't base a lack of respect for an institution on the actions of a few, regardless of which of the two Christian Churches we speak of. As leader of the faith based Universal Life Church, I invite you to visit us at:

Brother Michael Presided Over His 1st Catholic Mass at 8 Years of Age

I tell folks I presided over my 1st Catholic Mass at the age of 8 years old and they look at me like.....sure I bet you were Pope by the age of ten too. I don't blame people for not believing me, as the Roman Catholic Church has this thing called age restriction, nonetheless it is true.

As Paul Harvey made famous, now here is the rest of the story and pictures I hope you enjoy.

All three of my older sister's were Nuns yes and I am talking the Sister kind of Nun. Two of the three did not make their final vows, one did and this is my sister, Sister Karlyn. In her early years, 4+ decades ago she spent time at Holy Ghost Parish in Dickeyville, WI. Dickeyville is located in the extreme SW corner of Wisconsin, right across the river from Dubuque, Iowa. Holy Ghost Parish is famous for "The Grotto."

A Beautiful Experience

The Dickeyville Grotto and Shrines erected in the Village of Dickeyville, Wisconsin on Holy Ghost Parish grounds are the works of Father Matthias Wernerus, a Catholic Priest, Pastor of the Parish from 1918 to 1931. His handiwork in stone, built from 1925-1930, is dedicated to the unity of two great American ideals-love of God and love of Country. These religious and patriotic shrines were constructed without the use of blueprints.

It is a creation in stone, mortar and bright colored objects-collected materials from all over the world. These include colored glass, gems, antique heirlooms of pottery or porcelain, stalagmites and stalactites, sea shells, starfish, petrified sea urchins and fossils, and a variety of corals, amber glass, agate, quartz, ores, such as iron, copper and lead, fool's gold, rock crystals, onyx, amethyst and coal, petrified wood and moss.

There are several shrines in the Grotto garden. Besides the main shrine (which houses the Grotto of the Blessed Virgin), there is a patriotic shrine, the sacramental shrine of the Holy Eucharist, the Sacred Heart shrine, Christ the King shrine, Fatima shrine, and the Stations of the Cross. These shrines are located in a beautiful floral garden area surrounding the Holy Ghost Church.

The rectory of Holy Ghost Parish had a Chapel, this was in addition to the main Holy Ghost Church, the rectory or parsonage is where Priests or Ministers reside. For example my residence here in Carrabelle is considered the Universal Life Church Rectory or Parsonage.

Being that my sister was a NUN, I was afforded perks, now I call it perks, but the Priest, my parents and my sister probably felt.....hey it'll keep Michael occupied, out of our hair and out of trouble. One of these perks as I call them was enabling me to use the Chapel inside the rectory, coupled with chalices, missalettes, vestments (my Mom made or my sister somewhere found vestments my size). Also know that I did not discriminate either, I have you know my little sister, Maureen was the altar boy. Yes I served communion and I even was blessed with the presence of my family, other parish nuns and the Pastor himself. It was as legitimate as ever and I was eight years old.

The Roman Catholic Church wouldn't look so good excommunicating a Priest for letting an eight year old lead a Mass service. Please check out "The Grotto" and my sister's website;

Click on the Dickeyville Grotto link here or captioned above and please remember my sister, Sr Karlyn and her incredible artistic talents, inspired by her absolutely incredible and magnificent brother and leader of the Universal Life Church. Just never tell her about this last sentence please, I don't want her to feel obligated or any less esteem for her incredible talents she received from me. Luv Ya Karlyn!!!

We are the only Universal Life Church who can provide you with the same Christian Ordination and Christian Doctorate Degree had by Rev Dr Billy Graham, DD. Think a Christian Ordination and Christian Degree Does Not Make a Difference. Rev Billy Graham Wisely Saw the Need for a Doctorate!

Somehow, Billy Graham knew in his early years ... wisely and shrewdly ... that he needed the title "Doctor" - so he got one - neither accredited nor earned: but a true Doctor of Divinity none the less.
