I was just talking to a co-worker of mine earlier...it's 1:53am right now where I live, and my laptop turned on and so I put on God.TV that has live worship and prayer right now. Anyways, this is hours ago I had this convo. I said, "Perhaps 9/11 has changed the world as much as or more so then Pearl Harbour."

I have only seen a few things on God.TV ... it seems like a good service.
About comparing 9/11 to Pearl Harbour ... I see a lot of similarities. But WWII started and stopped, the war on terror has a loooonnnnnnggggg history and seemingly no end. It's a very different war.
Overall impact on the world ... I would agree with you.

Yeah, the sad thing is, the war on terror may never end. As long as some extremists insists that their way is the only way and if somebody disagree's well then just kill them off. I guess that's kinda blunt but that's the truth.
There has always been a battle for land in Israel... personally, I think people tend to focusu too much on physical land. I don't necessarily believe that scripture is talking about a literal piece of land. Although, we know in the OT that there had been actual land conquered.
Interesting enough as is though...
When Israel went to battle for land, their victory dependant upon them worshiping the One True God and if Israel were in a state of rebellion they lost the battle. And so, I think sometimes things are a little unbalanced in that area. I'm not saying that Israel should not have land and that Israel should not defend themselves. I'm just saying that it's not just about a piece of land mass that the bible talkes about but more so in reference to The New Jerusalem when the new heaven and the new earth are created.
Perhaps, at this rate and with tension in Russia and Georgia...it sounds kinda crazy to think but with all the tension that's increasing from the Middle East and Russia perhaps the war on terror could end up being WWIII. That seems a little unrealistic in part but I don't think after the first world war the world banked on a second world war.
And God.TV is great! I have gotten frustrated with the majority of Christian radio and TV. Coming from my background it's extremely difficult to sit through preachers who don't have enough grace and mercy for people caught up in homosexuality. When I am listening to a certain program wondering,,,,
"Where is grace for somebody like myself?" "Can you share the hope that we have in Christ?"
If these two questions are not answered in the talk I listen to then I just can't sit through the program. It becomes more about law then it does about grace. I am not saying that we shouldn't walk out our faith but there definately has to have a balance. There are some things I just can't do.
I personally can't change my sexual orientation but I totally believe that our God can and intends to work about such transformation in a person's life. The how and when is probably more to do with our own personal healing journey with the Lord which totally depends upon the experiences that we've had in our life.
A lot of what I listen to watch on God.TV has always been well balanced. There has been a speaking of truth but there has also been a speaking of grace and mercy.
If I listen to Christian radio I usually just stick to Focus On The Family or Family Life Today because as far as I know they have always spoke on the homosexual issue with grace, compassion and understanding. They aren't a bunch of preachers telling people that it's the worst of sin's but instead I really appreciate it how the two really convey that sexual sin is sexual sin period regardless of how sexual sin will surface in a person's life... it may be acting out in homosexual behavior, it may be divorce, it may be adultry, it may be sexual addiction, pornography and such but it's all sexual sin...sin is sin. You know what I mean.
On God.TV I've been encouraged in my faith I just love the preaching I hear on the God.TV. Any sin's addressed have always been addressed in a redemptive way. Believe you me, it's like I know when a person speaks from judgement but I also know when a person speaks from a level of understanding, grace and compassion. And I have just come to the place where I just don't want to subject mself to listening to people who are obviously speaking from a place of ignorance and judgement. That doesn't help me and so it makes no sense to continue. And so sad to say, I'm talking about the majority of Christian radio and TV.

This is a moving post, Randy. 9/11 is certainly a day I will never forget. Mozart's Requiem ...perfect. You can hear Mozart weeping in the Lacrimosa.
