"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." -- Theodore Roosevelt, April 23, 1910
We had a really sweet time with all the folks that came. Several had real breakthroughs with God and are going home hearing better. Some just came for fellowship because they're lonely in their towns. That's OK too. :-) It's hard to find people that understand you and don't want to medicate you when you start talking about the REALITY of the presence of God! The next Liberty Conference is Friday, April 29 to Sunday, May 1 and that will be over Passover (you know, the REAL "Easter"). Please RSVP if you think you're coming - fotm@fellowshipofthemartyrs.com or 816-929-4466.

We got a bunch of "heresy hunter" folks out there SMASHING Mike Bickle - as if there aren't pastors ALL OVER THE PLACE abusing and manipulating and doing wrong. As if American Churchianity isn't Laodecian from top to bottom. The thing is you can be "following Mike" if you believe his every word and can't imagine he's done wrong and are fully on board - but you're JUST AS MUCH "following Mike" if you chase him everywhere throwing rocks at him! Either way, you're eyes aren't on JESUS and the Cross and the clear instruction to correct GENTLY and leave vengeance to the Lord. (2 Tim 2:25)
This a CRITICAL moment in time where there COULD BE some clarity about what was and wasn't from God and what is on the right foundation and what isn't. But if all you're going to do is SCREECH and smash anybody that disagrees with you on the SLIGHTEST THING, then you're not really any good for this conversation.
And if you're a Cessationist that is throwing rocks at Mike AND telling people to run from anyone that has a dream or a vision - you really ought to just go throw rocks at the Southern Baptist Convention leaders that are hiding sexual abuse and leave the Charismatics alone to handle their own business. You're wrong about the Gifts, you're being snarky and you're doing real harm to the HALF of Christianity that KNOWS FULL WELL that God still does all the stuff He always did. Your theology does not trump our REALITY.

There IS a BIG difference! One means to admit what you did, the other means to stop doing it! You don't have to be perfect BEFORE God forgives you. Just say you're sorry and ask Him to HELP you be perfect!

I'm just sick and tired of Christians that say they are surrendering all and don't really mean it. Don't think for a second that God isn't taking notes.

Just a quick, cute, fun video of the baby goats eating all at once. There is only so much milk in the bucket, so anybody that doesn't hurry, gets nothing but air! They all think the guy next to them has a better nipple than theirs. A real insight on the human condition.
