Spamming for money

June 19, 2007

Have you ever received solicitation to help someone get money out of their country? Did someone tell you they were married to a rich man who recently died and they wanted the money to go to a christian cause?  They are SCAMMERS!!!!  Check out the website “bittenus.com”.  Lots of neat stuff on e-mail scammers.  I have recently been e-mailing a person from the Ivory Coast who first claimed to be the wife of a deceased millionaire.  I wrote back and said it was a shame for them to try scamming people. I guess it is too hard to just ask for help.  After that note they wrote back and said his name was Elvis. I have been sending portions of scripture and the plan of salvation to these scammers. 

The next time you receive spam try sending them the plan of salvation.  (Just a thought)

Communion

May 5, 2007

I recently a questionnaire regarding what to serve at communion.  The questions were as follows.

Q. Do you serve fermented juice for communion?

A.  No

 

Q. If the answer above is “no” would you use something other than grape juice?

A. To stay within the boundaries of scripture, “fruit of the vine”, I guess you could use strawberry or tomato if you wanted.  If you were to choose tomato you could have people in you congregation slapping their foreheads and saying, “I could’ve had a V-8”.

 

Does it really matter?  Is that a deciding factor as to whether you will support a missionay?  Why would you use anything other than grape juice?
