Comes to Hampton Roads!
Bill Gothard’s Institute in Life Principles (formerly known as Basic Youth)
Comes to Hampton Roads!
Dear Pastor, Christian Brothers and Sisters,
A number of years ago, I attended an Institute in Basic Youth Principles taught by Bill Gothard. To my amazement, there were 12,000 in attendance. In retrospect, the teachings of this seminar changed my life and equipped me to help others on their walk with God. The single week of instruction has been more valuable than all my seminary education. --- John Joyner
Over the past 35 years, I have attended the Basic Life Principles seminar in many different cities, always with a large attendance made up of Christians from all denominations. I have seen the wisdom taught in this course becoming more real in my life. The course is Bible based, encouraging and challenging and will make a huge impact on your life and your family. One of the books recommended for character building is The Power of True Success. We have used this in training our children, in summer camps and church classes for years. --- Andy McFie
This same Basic Life Principles seminar is now available as a multi-week DVD course that will run for 19 sessions covering the 25 hours of instruction. This program is scheduled to start on Saturday, January 8, 2011 at 5:00 pm. The location will be determined by the response received. A makeup session can be arranged if necessary. A separate class will be available for school-age children. Childcare will be available upon request.
The cost of the seminar is as follows:
Individual $60 (includes one textbook and 1 workbook)
Married Couple $95 (includes one textbook and 2 workbooks)
Alumni members-no materials free
Family members of alumni $35 (includes one workbook only)
Alumni may purchase additional workbooks for $5.00 each
Registration and fees are non-refundable and are due by November 20th.
Fees should be paid to Tidewater Church, 3810 Redmon Ct, Norfolk, VA 23518.
For questions, location and additional information, email Tidewater Church at TidewaterChurch@gmail.com or contact Andy McFie (757-237-1927) mcfie6@gmail.com or John Joyner (757-717-4380) or kree8or@yahoo.com.

The Koran's View of Jesus and the Bible
The Qur'an is very positive about Jesus and the Bible, and never negative about them.
Jesus in the Qur’an has at least 40 unique names, titles and qualities, including:
Jesus in the Qur’an has at least 40 unique names, titles and qualities, including:
- born of a virgin (19:20),
- Messiah (4:172),
- the blessed one (19:31),
- sinless (19:19),
- aided by the Holy Spirit (2:87),
- highly exalted (3:45),
- predestined mercy of God (19:21),
- life-giver and creator (3:49), ( Jesus does miracles!)
- Word of God (4:171)
In the Koran, Jesus is born of a virgin, is sinless and did miracles. According to the Koran, none of these things is true of Muhammed, the Prophet of Islam. This is a key fact to remember when talking to Muslims about Jesus.
The Bible is mentioned in the Qur’an hundreds of times. The Qur’an confirms it (5:46, 4:47, 3:3, etc.), and calls it inspired (16:43, 4:163), revealed by God (3:5, 4:136), given by God (6:154, 17:55, 5:46), authoritative (10:94, 2:213, 5:43, 44, 47), and unchangeable (10:64, 34, 18:27, 6:115, 15:9, 5:48).

It says it has light and guidance (5:46, 6:91), truth, leading and mercy (11:17, 46:12), and gives assurance of salvation (2:4). It is called the Book and Wisdom (3:48), the Clear Book (37:117), the Criterion, Shining, and the Reminder (21:48). Muslims are told they must believe in it (10:94, 16:43, 21:7, 42:5, 2:285, 4:136), and if they don’t, they are going to hell (4:136, 5:44, 45, 47, 40:69-72, 2:81, 3:11, 59:17, 35:36).

Free 90 Minute Webinar on Writing a Book: Tuesday, August 10th, 9:00PM Eastern.
Been thinkin’ of writing a book?
If you’ve been thinking of writing a book, I’m not surprised. Why?
Because 86% of Americans say they dream of writing a book.
Some want to write a book of their memoires. Others want to write
a book of poetry. Still others want to write a novel. And,
some want to write one of the hottest selling books on the Internet—
a cook book or recipe book.
But it’s not just about what you want to write. A larger question
is, “Why do you want to write a book?” And there are many good
reasons.
My friend, Eddie Smith, who is a best-selling author, conference
speaker and writing coach says he’s heard hundreds of them at
the writing seminars he teaches each year across America.
Eddie says, “Some want to write to fulfill a dream; some to share
their point of view. Some want to write to produce another income
stream for the family; others want to write to express themselves.
Some actually feel that writing a book is a God-calling on their
lives.”
Whatever your reason, Eddie and I invite you to attend our free
private 90-minute webinar he will teach for my subscriber base
on Tuesday, August 10th, 9:00PM Eastern.
There is absolutely no charge, and Eddie is going to give away a
valuable gift at the close of the broadcast. You must be online at
the time to win it.
“What is a webinar?” you ask. It’s an Internet seminar that you
watch on your computer screen and listen to with your computer
speakers or headphones. There's no file or program to download.
Just show up, with pencil and paper in hand.
It’s internet-TV. You’ll see Eddie and his teaching slides and
hear him teach. You’ll likely hear me as well.
Eddie will share solid, fresh, information that you've never heard
and will never hear from anyone else. He’s agreed to conduct
an extensive Q&A session at the end. Have your questions
on hand. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by....
Save the date! Mark your calendar! Set your alarm! Do what you
must, but don’t miss this event!

July 4th, 2010 Declaration of God-Dependence
July 4th Declaration of God-Dependence
We hold these truths to be evident in the Bible, that God has chosen us to be His children before He made the world; that we are children of God through our whole-hearted faith in Jesus Christ His Son, our faith itself a gift from God, and that as His children, God has given us certain unalienable rights, that among these are eternal life, liberty from guilt, shame, fear, rejection, abandonment, powerlessness, hopelessness and the pursuit of a godly, fruitful Christian life building the Kingdom throughout the world.
That to secure these rights, the Father sacrificed His Son on our behalf to pay a debt we could not pay even when we were enemies of God through our sins. That whenever any form of government, commerce, culture or public opinion becomes destructive to these God-given rights, it is our duty to throw off such beliefs and to trust in the Lord with all our hearts for our future security, believing that it is the right of all believers to cast their cares and needs upon the unbreakable promises of God Who cannot lie.
We, therefore, the congregation assembled here this Lord’s Day, July 4, 2010, do solemnly publish and declare, that we are, and of right ought to be, spiritually free and God-dependent people. We chose to give up our rights to live in our own strength and chose, instead, to live by His strength and promises. We believe that he is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot earn.
And for the support of this declaration and with a firm reliance on the protection of God Our Father, Jesus our Lord and God’s Holy Spirit, we pledge to depend on God and on each other for the rest of our days on earth. ( people sign and hang signed letter in church)

Day of Prayer
Please find below a portion of that decree.
Whereas, we find ourselves in the midst of the greatest man-made environmental disaster in our history; and
Whereas, it is our heritage that as a people we have been taught not only to publicly acknowledge God for the many blessings bestowed on us but also that we are to turn to Him and seek His aid and assistance in times of distress and calamity; and
President Ronald Reagan affirmed not only that "Prayer is the mainspring of the American spirit, a fundamental tenet of our people since before the Republic was founded" but also that "Prayer is today as powerful a force in our Nation as it has ever been. We as a Nation should never forget this source of strength";
President Reagan reminded us that we "have always turned to prayer at times of crisis. We recall the moving story of George Washington kneeling in the snow at Valley Forge to ask for divine assistance when the fate of our fledgling Nation hung in the balance. And Abraham Lincoln tells us that on the eve of the Battle of Gettysburg, 'I went into my room and got down on my knees in prayer.' Never before, he added, had he prayed 'with as much earnestness"; and
President James Buchanan reminded citizens: "In this the hour of our calamity and peril, to Whom shall we resort for relief but to the God of our fathers? His omnipotent arm only can save us from the awful effects . . . let our fervent prayers ascend to His Throne."
President John Tyler said that "When a Christian people feel themselves to be overtaken by a great public calamity, it becomes them to humble themselves under the dispensation of Divine Providence, to recognize His righteous government over the children of men, to acknowledge His goodness in time past, as well as their own unworthiness, and to supplicate His merciful protection for the future";
. . . . . The Continental Congress declared that "in the hour of calamity and impending danger . . . we are peculiarly animated, with true penitence of heart, to prostrate ourselves before our great Creator and fervently to supplicate His gracious interposition for our deliverance"
I therefore call a Day of Prayer, urging citizens to pray comfort on the families of those killed in the initial blast; that God would crown with success efforts to stem the flow of escaping oil; that He would interpose to mitigate further damage and strengthen the hands of clean up crews; that He would sustain those whose livelihood is directly impacted by this tragedy; that He would preserve the health of citizens along the coastal regions; that He would comfort the minds of all citizens, reminding us that He is a strong refuge in times of trouble; that He would guide the counsels of our civil leaders and provide them with wisdom and Divinely inspired solutions to the many complex problems associated with this disaster; and that He would prevent future recurrences.

Iran: Female converts go before judge
Iran: Female converts go before judge
The silence from Iran is nerve-racking. There’s been no word on the result of last week’s court hearing for Maryam Rustampoor and Marzieh Amirizadeh – Iranian Christians who were arrested by security forces in March 2009.
Todd Nettleton with Voice of the Martyrs says that’s not unusual, but their legal strategy is. “They made the argument in court that they couldn’t be apostates because they weren’t actually Muslims. They said, ‘We were born into Muslim families, but we ourselves never made the choice to become Muslims. Therefore, we are Christians, but we are not apostates because we weren’t Muslims to begin with.’”
They were arrested March 5, 2009, on charges of anti-state activity and “taking part in illegal gatherings” because of their participation in house church activities. The anti-state charges were later dropped.
They’re still facing propagation of the Christian faith and apostasy charges, so keep praying. It’s been a test of their endurance.
According to Elam Ministries, although they have been receiving medical treatment for the past five months, they remain weak and suffer from various illnesses. The two had spent 259 days incarcerated in Evin Prison where they were reportedly subjected to psychological abuse, and their medical requests were ignored.
Despite the uncertainties, their testimony encourages other believers. Nettleton says, “They are determined to continue to be a witness for Christ, to continue to stand strong in their faith. We can pray that they’ll be encouraged in that, that they will have a sense of peace, a sense of God’s presence, and that God will provide the words for them to say when the time comes.”
Pray that the peace of God will protect Maryam and Marzieh’s hearts and minds and keep them safe. Pray that they will completely recover from their illnesses and be strong – physically, mentally and spiritually. Pray that all charges will be dropped and they will be set free.

Geert Wilder's speech to Holland's Parliament
Geert Wilder's speech to Holland's Parliament
Madam Speaker, allow me, first, to express my sincere thanks to you personally for having planned a debate on Islam on the very day of my birthday. I could not have wished for a nicer present! Madam Speaker, approximately 1400 years ago war was declared on us by an ideology of hate and violence which arose at the time and was proclaimed by a
barbarian who called himself the Prophet Mohammed. I am referring to Islam.
Madam Speaker, let me start with the foundation of the Islamic faith, the Koran. The Koran's core theme is about the duty of all Muslims to fight non-Muslims; an Islamic Mein Kampf, in which fight means war, jihad. The Koran is above all a book of war "“ a call to butcher non-Muslims (2:191, 3:141, 4:91, 5:3), to roast them (4:56, 69:30-69:32), and to cause bloodbaths amongst them (47:4). Jews are compared to monkeys and pigs (2:65, 5:60, 7:166), while people who believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God must according to the Koran be fought (9:30).
Madam Speaker, the West has no problems with Jews or Christians, but it does have problems with Islam. It is still possible, even today, for Muslims to view the Koran, which they regard as valid for all time, as a license to kill. And that is exactly what happens. The Koran is worded in such a way that its instructions are addressed to Muslims for eternity, which includes today's Muslims. This in contrast to texts in the Bible, which is formulated as a number of historical narratives, placing events in a distant past. Let us remind ourselves that it was Muslims, not Jews or Christians, who committed the catastrophic terrorist attacks in New York, Madrid and London; and that it was no coincidence that Theo van Gogh was brutally murdered by a Muslim, Mohammed Bouyeri.
Madam Speaker, I acknowledge that there are people who call themselves Muslims and who respect our laws. My party, the Freedom Party, has nothing against such people, of course. However, the Koran does have something against them. For it is stated in the Koran in Sura 2, verse 85, that those believers who do not believe in everything the Koran states will be humiliated and receive the severest punishment; which means that they will roast in Hell. In other words, people who call themselves Muslims but who do not believe, for example, in Sura 9, verse 30, which states that Jews and Christians must be fought, or, for example, in Sura 5, verse 38, which states that the hand of a thief must be cut off, such people will be humiliated and roast in Hell. Note that it is not me who is making this up. All this can be found in the Koran. The Koran also states that Muslims who believe in only part of the Koran are in fact apostates, and we know what has to happen to apostates. They have to be killed.
Madam Speaker, the Koran is a book that incites to violence. I remind the House that the distribution of such texts is unlawful according to Article 132 of our Penal Code. In addition, the Koran incites to hatred and calls for murder and mayhem. The distribution of such texts is made punishable by Article 137(e). The Koran is therefore a highly dangerous book; a book which is completely against our legal order and our democratic institutions. In this light, it is an absolute necessity that the Koran be banned for the defence and reinforcement of our civilisation and our constitutional state. I shall propose a second-reading motion to that effect.
Madam Speaker, there is no such thing as "moderate Islam".... As Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan said the other day, and I quote, "There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that's it".... Islam is in pursuit of dominance. It wishes to exact its imperialist agenda by force on a worldwide scale (8:39). This is clear from European history. Fortunately, the first Islamic invasion of Europe was stopped at Poitiers in 732; the second in Vienna in 1683. Madam Speaker, let us ensure that the third Islamic invasion, which is currently in full spate, will be stopped too in spite of its insidious nature and notwithstanding the fact that, in contrast to the 8th and 17th centuries, it has no need for an Islamic army because the scared "dhimmis"� in the West, also those in Dutch politics, have left their doors wide open to Islam and Muslims.
Apart from conquest, Madam Speaker, Islam is also bent on installing a totally different form of law and order, namely Sharia law. This makes Islam, apart from a religion for hundreds of millions of Muslims also, and in particular, a political ideology (with political/constitutional/Islamic basic values, etc). Islam is an ideology without any respect for others; not for Christians, not for Jews, not for non-believers and not for apostates. Islam aims to dominate, subject, kill and wage war.
Madam Speaker, the Islamic incursion must be stopped. Islam is the Trojan Horse in Europe. If we do not stop Islamification now, Eurabia and Netherabia will just be a matter of time. One century ago, there were approximately 50 Muslims in the Netherlands. Today, there are about 1 million Muslims in this country. Where will it end? We are heading for the end of European and Dutch civilization as we know it.

Tips for Dealing with Real and Fake Census Workers
2010 Census to Begin
WARNING: 2010 Census - Cautions from the Better Business Bureau
Be Cautious About Giving Info to Census Workers by Susan Johnson
With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises people to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or identity theft. The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under way as workers have begun verifying the addresses of households across the country. Eventually, more than
140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every person in the United States and will gather information about every person living at each address including name, age, gender, race, and other relevant data.
The big question is - how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census worker and a con artist? BBB offers the following advice:
** If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a badge, a handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas bag, and a confidentiality notice. Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their questions. However, you should never invite anyone you don't know into your home.
** Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address information. Do not give your Social Security number, credit card or banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census.
REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK, YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO TELL THEM HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS.
While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a salary range, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION. The Census Bureau will not ask for Social
Security, bank account, or credit card numbers, nor will employees solicit donations. Any one asking for that information is NOT with the Census Bureau.
AND REMEMBER, THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS DECIDED NOT TO WORK WITH ACORN ON GATHERING THIS INFORMATION.. No Acorn worker should approach you
saying he/she is with the Census Bureau.
Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail, or in person at home. However, the Census Bureau will not contact you by Email, so be on the lookout for Email scams impersonating the Census.
Never click on a link or open any attachments in an Email that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.
