Church joins forces with Twitter to broadcast live services

Premier News report – Church services will be broadcast live online thanks to a new partnership between the Church of England and social networking website Twitter.

‘ChurchLive’ will see a range of events shown live on the mobile phone app Periscope, available for free to audiences around the world.

The Church said the broadcasts could be “the first taste of Church for those unfamiliar with church services”.

It would act as an introduction to “the best of worship, preaching and prayer”.

Revd Arun Arora, Director of Communications for the Archbishops’ Council said: “This is a project designed to bring Church of England services from Malton to Miami, Middlesbrough to Milan and Manchester to Mumbai.

“Those who may not make it to church on a Sunday for all sorts of reasons will have the opportunity to be part of a service.

“The ability to join in worship shouldn’t be restricted to geographical constraint. We know that Periscope users are a global audience and we expect that there will be as many watching services broadcast via Periscope as are physically present at the services themselves.”

It wont be the first time church services have been broadcast on Periscope.

Earlier this year parishioners at St Radegund’s Church in Grayingham, in the Diocese of Lincoln, were joined by another 350 people around the world for their regular traditional Sunday service after becoming the first to experiment with the app.

Julia White from Twitter UK, said: “Periscope gives people and communities the opportunity to live broadcast everything from on-the-spot breaking news through to individual reflections. It’s great to see the Church of England taking the best of what they have to offer and using Periscope to show it live across the world.”

Tallie Proud, Digital Officer for The Archbishops’ Council of the Church of England said: “It could be someone too ill to attend, a family who want to ‘attend’ even when on holiday or someone who just wants to know what the church is like before they make the sometimes scary step of walking into the building for the first time.”

The first service is due to take place on Sunday 11th October and features a service with Canon Andrew white, the “Vicar of Baghdad” who will be speaking at The Point, a Fresh Expressions church in West Sussex.

Future services planned include St Martin in the Fields in London and Beverley Minster.

White House Welcoming Ceremony for Pope Francis

In a statement released Thursday, March 26, 2015, White House Press Secretary John Earnest confirmed September 23rd as the finalized date for Pope Francis’ visit to the White House. Then, Pope Francis and President Barack Obama will discuss their common ground on various social, economic, environmental and ethical issues. You can read the official statement here.

On Wednesday, September 23rd, 2015, Pope Francis arrived at the White House in Washington D.C. for a State Arrival Ceremony being the third pope to have ever visited the white house.  The event was held on the  South Lawn of the White House with President Barack Obama and numerous other government officials in attendance. As ex officio head of state of Vatican City, Pope Francis delivered a speech at the event (see full transcript below). A private meeting between President Barack Obama and Pope Francis also occurred at this time.

Pope Francis Speech at the White House

Good morning!

Mr. President,
I am deeply grateful for your welcome in the name of all Americans. As the son of an immigrant family, I am happy to be a guest in this country, which was largely built by such families. I look forward to these days of encounter and dialogue, in which I hope to listen to, and share, many of the hopes and dreams of the American people.

During my visit I will have the honor of addressing Congress, where I hope, as a brother of this country, to offer words of encouragement to those called to guide the nation’s political future in fidelity to its founding principles. I will also travel to Philadelphia for the Eighth World Meeting of Families, to celebrate and support the institutions of marriage and the family at this, a critical moment in the history of our civilization.

Mr. President, together with their fellow citizens, American Catholics are committed to building a society which is truly tolerant and inclusive, to safeguarding the rights of individuals and communities, and to rejecting every form of unjust discrimination. With countless other people of good will, they are likewise concerned that efforts to build a just and wisely ordered society respect their deepest concerns and their right to religious liberty. That freedom remains one of America’s most precious possessions. And, as my brothers, the United States Bishops, have reminded us, all are called to be vigilant, precisely as good citizens, to preserve and defend that freedom from everything that would threaten or compromise it.

Mr. President, I find it encouraging that you are proposing an initiative for reducing air pollution. Accepting the urgency, it seems clear to me also that climate change is a problem which can no longer be left to a future generation. When it comes to the care of our “common home”, we are living at a critical moment of history. We still have time to make the changes needed to bring about “a sustainable and integral development, for we know that things can change” (Laudato Si’, 13). Such change demands on our part a serious and responsible recognition not only of the kind of world we may be leaving to our children, but also to the millions of people living under a system which has overlooked them. Our common home has been part of this group of the excluded which cries out to heaven and which today powerfully strikes our homes, our cities and our societies. To use a telling phrase of the Reverend Martin Luther King, we can say that we have defaulted on a promissory note and now is the time to honor it.

We know by faith that “the Creator does not abandon us; he never forsakes his loving plan or repents of having created us. Humanity still has the ability to work together in building our common home” (Laudato Si’, 13). As Christians inspired by this certainty, we wish to commit ourselves to the conscious and responsible care of our common home.

Mr. President, the efforts which were recently made to mend broken relationships and to open new doors to cooperation within our human family represent positive steps along the path of reconciliation, justice and freedom. I would like all men and women of good will in this great nation to support the efforts of the international community to protect the vulnerable in our world and to stimulate integral and inclusive models of development, so that our brothers and sisters everywhere may know the blessings of peace and prosperity which God wills for all his children.
Mr. President, once again I thank you for your welcome, and I look forward to these days in your country. God bless America!

Past Papal Visits to the White House
On October 6th, 1979, Pope John Paul II made history, becoming the first reigning pope to visit the White House. There, at the tail-end of his visit to the United States, he was welcomed by then President Jimmy Carter in a formal ceremony. Afterwards, President Carter held a private meeting with the pope in the Oval Office. Nearly 30 years later, Pope Benedict XVI’s motorcade arrived at the White House in Washington D.C., making Pope Benedict XVI the second reigning pope in history to have ever visited the White House. Upon his arrival, the President, along with a crowd of over 13,000, surprised the Pope by singing happy birthday to him while officials delivered a 21-gun salute. Afterwards a private meeting was held between President Bush and Pope Benedict XVI  in the Oval Office, where the president gave him a birthday cake. During the rest of his time in D.C., Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Mass at Nationals Park and delivered a speech at Catholic University.

Pastor Bimbo Odukoya – Remembered (September 12, 1960 – December 11, 2005)

Abimbola Rosemary “Bimbo” Odukoya (née Abimbola Rosemary Segun-Williams) (September 12, 1960 – December 11, 2005) was a Nigerian pastor and televangelist who was married to the founder of the Fountain of Life Church, Taiwo Odukoya.

Odukoya, often called “Pastor Bims,” was a receiver of over 60 national and international awards for her contributions to nation building, the development of her country, Nigeria, and the West Africa sub region, and for leadership as a woman of high moral standards and a role model to many. A writer, popular televangelist, highly sought conference speaker, youth mentor and marriage counsellor, she was one of several individuals chosen by Samsung to represent Nigeria in carrying the Olympic Torch in Athens, Greece at the 2004 Olympic Games. She died as a result of the Sosoliso Airlines Flight 1145 crash.

Listen to the Video message at minutes 24:56

Pastor Bimbo Odukoya studied History and Archaeology at the University of Ibadan where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree. She then began her career at the National Theatre in Lagos. She soon resigned to minister full-time and from 1987 to 1999, she served as the head of the counselling department at the TREM under the direction of Bishop Mike Okonkwo. Pastor Bimbo married the founding pastor of the Fountain of Life Church, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, and they had three children Tolu Odukoya, (Pastor) Jimmy Odukoya and Tobi Odukoya.

Pastor Bimbo Odukoya

At the time of her death, she was the associate senior pastor of The Fountain of Life Church and the President of Discovery for Women.

She was the host of Single and Married, a television program broadcast locally and internationally that deals with practical issues people face in marriages and relationships generally guided with biblical principles. She was a well-known conference speaker within Nigeria and in some instances on the international level.

Death

Bimbo Odukoya boarded Sosoliso Airlines Flight 1145, bound for Port Harcourt from Abuja. On 10 December 2005 the airliner crashed during landing at Port Harcourt International Airport; Bimbo survived the initial impact and died from injuries on 11 December 2005. Pastor Bimbo’s messages were so influential in Nigerian society that even in death her messages are still popular.

11-Year-Old UK Boy Scores Higher than Einstein on IQ Test

An 11-year-old schoolboy has joined Mensa after scoring higher than Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates and Albert Einstein in an IQ test.

Ramarni Wilfred started showing signs of genius as a toddler, when his favourite book was an encyclopedia.

He could read and write by the time he started reception at school and last year, at the age of 10 and still in primary school, wrote a philosophy paper on fairness that earned him a 2:1 and a mock Oxford graduation.

When his reception class wanted to move him up a year, mum Anthea objected, wanting him to grow up with other kids his age.

Prof. Hawking, Microsoft founder Gates and Einstein all have 160 IQs. Ramarni scored 162, putting him in the top 1% in the UK.

Anthea, 37, said: “He’s still just a little boy doing normal childhood stuff. While he reads the New Scientist and the Sky at Night, he still plays with his dog, watches the Disney Channel and reads comics.

“Mensa allows him to talk and be with other people as clever as he is for the things that go over my head.

“He doesn’t think it’s a big deal. I love his humility and I love having my own personal walking, talking dictionary/thesaurus/calculator!”

Ramarni, who will be starting Year 8 at secondary school next month, harbours hopes of one day studying at Oxford and becoming an astrophysicist.

The modest youngster, from Romford, Essex, said: “I can’t begin to compare myself to these great men whose hard work clearly proves that they are true geniuses.

“This is a great opportunity and I think it can open a lot of doors for me. But I also believe that having a high IQ isn’t that important unless you do something really special with it.”

Ramarni’s former teacher, Valerie Mulae, described him as “remarkable”, adding: “He just stood out. He shone.”

Mensa’s chief executive, John Stevenage, said: “Anyone who registers an IQ score which places them in the top two per cent of the population has done remarkably well. The score Ramarni achieved therefore is very good and shows he has great potential.”

First Baptist Church to Ordain Gay, Transgender Ministers

First Baptist Church to Ordain Gay, Transgender Ministers

Charisma News report – A former Southern Baptist Church has decided all are welcomed in their pulpit, going so far as to ordain gay and transgender ministers.

First Baptist of Greenville, South Carolina—the church home of the first Southern Baptist Convention president—has taken a bold move in “embracing the complexities of gender identity.”

“What I heard was, ‘We need to do the right thing, regardless of what anybody thinks or says about us,'” Senior Pastor Jim Dant tells Greenville Online. “There were a few people who said, ‘Are they going to start calling us the gay church in town?'”

After a six-month exploratory time, Greenville asked their members to affirm the acceptance of same-sex couples. According to Greenville Online, those who didn’t affirm the church’s decision still remained in the congregation.

In moving forward, the church ministers can perform same-sex unions and ordain any person, regardless of sexual orientation and lifestyle, to serve in a leadership role.

Greenville split from the SBC in the early 1990s, and is now a member of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. Before leaving the original denomination, however, Greenville was home to William Bullein Johnson. Johnson not only served as a minister at Greenville, but was inaugural president of the Southern Baptist Convention.

On their Facebook page, Greenville received several positive comments about their move.

“Thank you FBC Greenville. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 John 4:8,” one commenter wrote.

Another: “One day very soon, the Southern Baptist Convention will find themselves marooned on a bigoted island of their own making, while the civilized world of sound, modern biblical exegesis goes on around them.”

The SBC, however, has no plans of the sort. President Ronnie Floyd told the Christian Examiner that the SBC stands by their biblical definition of marriage, and are in prayer for Greenville.

“We pray that this church will one day return to be biblically driven in their belief about marriage and family, rather than culturally driven as they have testified in the reported story.”

5 Lessons From the Hacking of an Adultery Website

5 Lessons From the Hacking of an Adultery Website

After making threats for weeks, anonymous hackers have released the private information of millions of users of the Ashley Madison website, billed as the “most successful website for finding an affair and cheating partners” and boasting that it is “the world’s leading married dating service for discreet encounters.”

So much for being discreet.

What lessons can we learn from the release of millions of names of users looking for adulterous hookups?

1. Sooner or later, your sin will find you out (Num. 32:23). Whether in this world or the world to come, if we don’t turn from our sins and renounce them, they will catch up with us and find us out. Count on it.

As Paul wrote to Timothy, “The sins of some people are conspicuous, going before them to judgment, but the sins of others appear later” (1 Tim. 5:24).

One way or another, sooner or later, we reap what we sow, and if you want to avoid an embarrassing harvest, don’t sow embarrassing seeds.

If you knew that tomorrow, the whole world would know about something ugly you did in private today, would you do it?

One day, the whole universe will know. The Ashley Madison hacking is like child’s play compared to what’s coming.

2. Nothing is hidden from God. The real folly of “secret” sin is that it’s not secret at all, and the one whose opinion matters most is the one who sees it all.

We might hide things from our spouses and friends.

We might hide things from our pastors and employers.

Pastors might hide things from their boards and congregations.

But God sees what we do in secret, and if hackers have access to our private information, how much more does the Lord?

Live and act as if you’re in the presence of a holy God, and esteem His approval more highly than the approval of people.

3. It pays to live clean. When you have nothing to hide, you gladly come into the light (John 3:21), and when your conscience is clean, you have confidence before God and man. What price will you put on a clean conscience?

From the ages of 14-16, I was a heavy drug user, sometimes walking down the street with drugs in my pockets (and even a needle), getting on public buses or hitchhiking (the hippie thing to do, back then). And whenever a police car would drive by, my heart would pound since I was breaking the law and I had the evidence on my person.

Once I was born again in late 1971 and drugs were totally out of my life, I remember feeling so clean when the police would drive by. I had nothing to hide.

It’s wonderful to be able to look people in the eye and not wonder, “Do they know? Are they suspicious?” It’s even more wonderful to stand before God and know that there are no skeletons in your closet.

4. Be quick to repent. It’s true that every one of us has fallen short of the mark at some point in our lives, even as believers. We have all said or done some things that are regrettable, things of which we’re ashamed, things we wish we could take back.

But if we try to cover our sins we will not succeed; if we confess and forsake them, we will find mercy (Prov. 28:13). If we get rid of the skeletons in our closet (by God’s grace, they can be dealt with fully), then no skeletons will ever be exposed.

The temptation, of course, is to cover one sin with another sin, to cover the adultery with lies or to cover the pornography with deception, but that only makes things worse, like fighting depression by getting drunk. When we add sin to sin, we only compound our difficulties.

That means, as hard as it is, coming clean before God and important individuals—often meaning those whom it’s most difficult for us to come clean with—is the path to freedom.

Many a marriage has been destroyed by lack of confession.

Many a marriage has been saved by honest confession.

When we cover our sins, it’s like trying to swim across the river wearing a heavy lead coat. We only sink ourselves.

5. God’s Word is eternally relevant. Ashley Madison subscribers would be shocked to see how these words written more than 2,500 years ago speak to us today.

As it is written in Proverbs 6, “Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Can one walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? So he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; whoever touches her will not be innocent. … But whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; he who does it destroys his own soul. A wound and dishonor will he get, and his reproach will not be wiped away” (vv. 27-29, 32-33).

As for the owners and workers of the adultery website itself, Jesus speaks to this quite directly: “Woe to the world because of temptations! For it must be that temptations come, but woe to that man by whom the temptation comes!” (Matt. 18:7).

Both the existence of an adultery website and the hacking of that site are no laughing matters, and if the subject of adultery makes you nervous because of something you’ve got to hide, make it right today in the sight of God and man.

His abundant mercy is waiting for you, and the godly sorrow you experience today will lead to freedom and joy tomorrow.

Nigerians Remain Firm in Faith after Church Burnings
Christian Headlines report – More than 70 churches were destroyed in Nigeria in just two days.
According to the Christian Examiner, 60 churches were burned in just four hours in Niamey, the capital of Niger. The burnings are being linked to the shooting at the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris in January.
Muslims planned the demonstration at the Nigerian churches to scare Christians. Reports estimate that about 94 percent of the country is Muslim.
“They thought that we will not go back to the services,” said Mahamadou Koche, a pastor of one of the churches.
“But even if they burn the churches, they can’t burn what we have already got inside of us,” he said.
The churches will be meeting in temporary buildings.
“Rebuilding the church physically will show to the world that we hold on to our faith and we’re still Christians,” Mahamadou said.
At Issa Elhadjkouldjami’s church in Zinder, the congregation is meeting at a temporary location while their church, which was burned earlier this year, is rebuilt. Issa said that he hopes their forgiveness brings others to know Christ.
“We will not stop. We will continue with everything we’ve got in our heart,” Issa said in an online story by Samaritan’s Purse.
Other churches are also reaching out to Muslims   … read more

Actress Says Hollywood is Not Friendly to People of Faith

Christian Headlines report – Actress Mayim Bialik discusses her faith and admits that Hollywood is not receptive to people who hold religious convictions.

The Jewish actress, who is best known for her role as “Blossom” on the TV series “The Big Bang Theory” says that celebrities who stand strongly by their faith will get flack for it, Fox News reports.

Bialik cites her recent trip to Israel to visit a friend in the Israel Defense Forces as an example of the negativity in Hollywood associated with religion.

“That’s what’s amazing…simply by going to Israel this summer and saying nothing more than, ‘I’ve gone to Israel,’ I got the same amount of hatred and threats and anti-Semitism for actually making a statement trying to support people whether I like it or not are serving in an army,” she stated.

“That reveals the truth,” she continued. “It really doesn’t matter what I support or believe the fact that I’m Jewish and go there is enough – that should be alarming to most people.”

Bailik said that people of faith in Hollywood tend to congregate together because it can be tough to maintain one’s faith in such an environment.

“I think in general it’s never going to be trendy to be observant or religious in Hollywood circles,” Bialik stated.
Bialik also said that she and her family often attend synagogue or observe the Sabbath at home with a meal.
Bialik also opened up about the intersection of her faith and science since she holds a degree in neuroscience. The actress stated that she is often questioned on her faith by people who think faith and science are incompatible.

“I have an unwavering faith in a power greater than myself and I don’t think that will change any more than my belief in gravity will change,” she said.

Lastly, the actress also discussed her commitment to modesty.

“Being a modest dresser, that for me is a certain amount of my religious faith — privacy and chastity. Just because I have a body, doesn’t mean it means to be on display,” Bialik stated.

Bialik has recently launched a website to share her beliefs on these issues and more.
