AROUND THE IPCC:

REPORT OF THE KING'S COMMISSION DIRECTOR, Brent Hubbard – The 4^th Class of King’s Commission is now in its second full week. We have affectionately termed our Kick-off week as “Detox.” Romans 12:2 says, “conform no longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” We began the year by a full fast of the basics that come w/ KC, dating, secular music, and TV. But for “Detox Week” we also eliminated Facebook, e-mail, texting, and calling friends. The thought behind our passionate challenge is: How can we expect to hear the voice of the Lord when our ears, eyes, and time are normally filled with the distractions of this world? As one of our pastors said to me, "It’d be a great idea for churches to challenge their congregation to facilitate a “Detox” week at their church, once a quarter." What could God do if we set aside these distractions to focus our eyes on Him? We also wanted to express our gratitude to you for your continued financial giving! Your faithfulness is a continual blessing! We also wanted to share a present need with you. The students that are part of the 2010-2011 class would benefit greatly from any financial and prayer support you would feel led to give! Thank you again for believing in what God has in store for this ministry and the students of the IPCC!

FEAST OF INGATHERING, November 6, 2010 – Time is approaching our great family gathering in November, a time when churches, ministers, and people get together for a family feast and sharing God's blessings among us and to youth and future leaders. Please mark your calendars now and prepare for that great event!

FAITH FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER, Jackson, OH – "God is still supreme in the Jackson church.  He is blessing with glorious services and souls being saved!  My wife and another sister in the church visited a young woman who had been bound to her bedroom for the past six years due to depression, fear and sickness.  She allowed them to pray for her and got a "good dose" of salvation!!  She has attended our services faithfully for the past 3 weeks,  Her doctors are astounded and her family is totally amazed at the transformation they are seeing in her life.  Her sister (who is a sinner) has sent word she will be in our service with her children this Sunday.  Only God can do these things. We had our Community Day this past Saturday and God blessed with 75 in attendance (the majority being from the community).  This is the biggest crowd we have had for any event, so we know God is really moving as He said He would.  Our Jr. Board Member program is proving to be successful. I baptized one of our Jr. Board members last summer, and he is now leading our Wednesday night services. He is doing a wonderful job!  Our adult Sunday School teacher has felt the calling to do a nursing home ministry.  We have been working with him, and he will be starting very soon with services at Heartland in Jackson.  When God birthed a vision in our spirit for this community and told us He was sending us to a hard people, we really were not sure exactly what He was speaking to us.  We only knew it was God!  We have seen a portion of what He was saying as we've worked with people who had become hardened in their heart toward church and God because of past experiences in church (many of them as children).  We are looking forward to seeing what God is going to do next!  Thank you for all your prayers and please continue to pray that God will give my wife and I wisdom and understanding as we pastor this church and community.  Have a blessed day in the Lord." - The Wrights

CHURCH LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE WITH RON LUCE, America's foremost youth minister. September 15 - 17, 2010 – Why do the Southern Baptists say that 88% of their youth leave the church at age 18? Why aren't Pentecostal churches doing any better? Why are the children of ministers not outperforming their peers? Is the message of the church obsolete and irrelevant? Why is society so overpowering in its influence upon our youth? Where is the youth in your church? Why is it that a study indicates that only 10% of Pentecostals have a Christian Worldview? (Defined as believing in basic core beliefs such as the Virgin Birth, Jesus as the exclusive way to Heaven, the Literal Resurrection, etc.) One study said that unless something drastic happens, only 4% of today's youth will become Evangelical! In an urgent effort to address these issues, we have worked very hard to secure the services of the top youth minister in America, Ron Luce of Teenmania and Acquire the Fire! Your attendance at the Church Leadership Conference may not assure a miraculous success with youth. But when you stand in judgment before God, wouldn't you want to be able to say, "Lord, I've tried my best to reach our youth!" For this reason, we urge and expect every youth worker, leader, and pastor to be in attendance. Sure, it'll cost time off work. But how serious are you about ministry? If your ministry doesn't cost you greatly, can you look your kids in the eye and still say you love them? These hard hitting questions and solutions will be offered. If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got! Kids today aren't looking for million dollar productions every youth night, but they are looking for something you have the ability to offer: your love and attention. Make plans now to attend. We are not after building a great event. We are simply after answering the call of Christ to seek after and win the lost sheep of Israel. For more information, see: churchleadershipconference.org

PRAYER REQUESTS – Allene Stanley is under hospice care. Jane Auxier, Leva Bloomfield, Robert and Thelma Cannon, Tim Crabtree, Norma Dickinson, Clifford and Eunice Edwards, Bettie Erickson, Pauline Ferguson, Edith Greet, former General Overseer, Dr. Tom G. Grinder, Lucille Hardeman, Brother Hargrave’s parents, Dean Kuhn, Cecil McCarty, Annie Miller, Gary Newman, Daniel Sawyer and son, and Gary Shonkwiler. We need to be much more serious as we pray for the children of ministers and for the health of all of our ministers. There are ministers suffering with issues they are not at liberty to disclose. Please pray for them. Please pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray for the miraculous salvation of the president.

AROUND THE CHURCH WORLD:

'TIL DEATH DO US PART - OR WHATEVER, The Meaning of Marriage (Chuck Colson, Breakpoint) – Worldview was on display at a church in Silver Spring, Maryland a few days ago. What did it look like? A lovely bride, dressed in white. A groom looking giddily in love. Promises to love and to cherish, as long as they lived. If this sounds like an ordinary wedding—well, that’s just evidence that worldview is not always easy to spot. For instance, you couldn’t tell by looking that the bride and groom had never spent a night together before the wedding—unlike most couples these days. They were both committed Christians—unlike many other brides and grooms who want a church wedding because it’s “traditional.” Most important of all, this young couple fully understood—and embraced—the meaning and purposes of marriage. Tragically, many young couples enter into matrimony with no idea of what marriage is all about. Their “preparation” for marriage, if you can call it that, may consist of living with one person after another, until they find someone who is sexually compatible, or whose career goals don’t conflict with their own. Promises are made with their fingers crossed and a pre-nuptial agreement, just in case things don’t work out—or in the event they find someone they like better. What’s responsible for the breakdown of a Christian view of marriage? In a series of articles on courtship and marriage in Boundless, Dr. Leon Kass, University of Chicago, writes that the deepest and most intractable obstacle to courtship and marriage today is “a set of cultural attitudes and sensibilities that obscure and even deny the fundamental difference between youth and adulthood.” Christians view marriage as a framework for rearing the next generation. This, Kass notes, “is the business of adults, by which I mean, people who are serious about life, people who aspire to go outward and forward to embrace and to assume responsibility for the future.” By contrast, the secular world sees the carefree attitude and independence of youth, not as a stage on the way to maturity, but as a permanent and desirable way of living. As Kass puts it, “Few feel the call to serve a higher goal or some transcendent purpose.” Instead, they have a “narcisstic absorption in themselves and in immediate pleasures . . . Very few aspire to be fully grown-up, and the culture does not demand it of them.” This view of life is celebrated by books, films, commercials, television, and in the academy. No wonder our kids have no idea what marriage is all about. This confusion and ignorance about the meaning of purpose of marriage is why Christian parents have to do much more than simply make sure their kids accept Christ and attend church potlucks. They’ve got to make sure their kids understand the biblical view of marriage and the biblical view of life itself. And a good place to start, by the way, is by introducing them to the Manhattan Declaration. And if we do this, we may one day have the joy of seeing our kids stand up in a church, ready to take on all the responsibilities of adulthood—pledging their troth, and meaning it. There will be no sad attempt to infuse the wedding with some sort of theme—because the theme, under God, will already be there: To love and to cherish, for better or for worse, until death parts them.

RELIGIOUS HIRING RIGHTS THREATENED (Pastor's Weekly Briefing) – In May 2010, Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.), who has personally battled addiction and bipolar disorder, introduced a bill (H.R. 5466—SAMHSA Modernization Act of 2010) that would amend Titles V and XIX of the Public Health Service Act to revise and extend the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for the first time in 46 years—and to remove religious exemptions related to hiring for faith-based organizations that receive federal funding. The bill would outlaw any government funds or contracts with religious organizations that do not agree to "refrain from considering religion or any profession of faith" when making employment decisions. According to the bill, it would affect "licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, pastoral counselors, psychosocial rehabilitation specialists, and any other individual determined to be appropriate by the Secretary." A letter was sent to every member of Congress last week (Aug. 25) from several evangelical charities such as World Vision, the U.S. Catholic Bishops and Orthodox Jews that said the bill "would be catastrophic" to their religious freedom and to their missions to serve the needy. It asked lawmakers to reject any legislation that would "dilute the right of faith-based social service organizations to stay faith-based through their hiring." "Stripping away the religious hiring rights of religious service providers violates the principle of religious freedom, and represents bad practice in the delivery of social services," said Anthony Picarello, general counsel of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. The religious leaders say the religious hiring rights can be traced to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and even to the First Amendment of the Constitution. A unanimous 1987 Supreme Court decision also upheld the right of religious organizations to hire people of the same faith, ruling that the practice does not violate the constitutional principle of separation of church and state. Interestingly, on Monday, Aug. 23, a federal appeals court ruled that World Vision, the Christian humanitarian giant, who signed and released the Aug. 25 letter, can fire employees who do not share its theological tenets. Another open letter was sent to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder also urging him not to "dilute the right of faith-based" charities to "stay faith-based through their hiring." Many of the 100 signatories were presidents of small Christian colleges. [HuffingtonPost.com, CitizenLink.com, WashingtonWatch.com, Catholic News Service]

COURT RULES IN FAVOR OF WORLD VISION'S HIRING FREEDOM  (Pastor's Weekly Briefing) – The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 on Monday of last week that World Vision, a faith-based relief organization, was free to hire and terminate based on its statement of faith. The case has been closely watched by religious organizations and nonprofits who receive federal funding. The ruling is a result of three World Vision employees who were found to have lied during the hiring process about specifics of their faith and were immediately released. The former employees are expected to appeal the decision. The 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibits religious discriminations; however the court ruled that World Vision was exempt from Title VII of the Act for "a religious corporation, association, educational institution, or society with respect to the employment of individuals of a particular religion to perform work connected with the carrying on by such corporation, association, educational institution, or society of its activities." Steve McFarland, chief legal officer for World Vision, was pleased with the ruling and said, "What's at stake is the religious freedom of every individual and church and para-church organization and faith-based organization in the country. Every member of Congress asks and discriminates against job applicants based on their political persuasion. Even Planned Parenthood asks where your politics are with respect to the sanctity of human life. You can call it the bad word 'discrimination,' but it's called 'free association.'" [CitizenLink.com]

So I was surprised, to say the least, when the President spoke recently to a Muslim audience about the Ground Zero mosque. He said the following: “I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country.” And later he said, “This is America. And our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable.” Well, folks, I gotta confess. I’m now really confused. After speaking about nothing but “freedom of worship” for nearly a year, suddenly, before a Muslim audience, the President speaks about religious freedom. Why the change? There can only be three possibilities. First, maybe the Administration has heard the criticisms from many of us and now understands how important it is that the U. S. stand for freedom of religion at home and abroad. I’d like to think this is the case, but I doubt it.

Another possibility is that the Administration really doesn’t get the difference between worship and religion. I certainly doubt that. The President and Hillary Clinton are skilled lawyers. Another possibility is that the President was seeking to reassure Muslims that they can practice their religion here, but that he isn’t advocating that Muslims give freedom of religion to others in their countries. I’d love to hear the President or the Secretary of State clarify the Administration’s stance on freedom of religion for all people. Let’s hear it straight once and for all. Folks, I really don’t get it. I don’t want to impugn anybody’s motives. But why the deliberate confusion? Do you have any ideas? Is it perhaps freedom of religion for some, and freedom of worship for others? Why?

'ALMOST CHRISTIAN' TEENAGERS CAUSE CONCERN FOR CHURCH SCHOLARS (Bob Smietana, Gannett News Service) – God loves you and wants you to be happy. Be nice to other people and pray if you get into trouble. That's what most teenagers are learning in church these days, says Kenda Creasy Dean, professor of youth, church and culture at Princeton Theological Seminary. Instead of learning the Bible, young people are drawn to a cult of niceness, Dean said. Being nice is OK, but it doesn't have much to do with Jesus, she said. “The problem is that it's an incredibly selfish way to look at faith,” Dean said. “It means that God is out there to make us happy.” A major study of religion in youth found that many young people are “almost Christian”—they believe in God, but they don't believe Christian doctrines. That has caused several youth ministries to move from fun and games at youth groups to more intense Bible studies. They also want kids involved in more outreach and in volunteer work. Leaders believe this approach will make faith stick so young people will retain their faith when they go to college or into the work world. The question of how to make faith stick has faced churches for years, says Thom Rainer, president of Nashville-based LifeWay Christian Resources and co-author of the book “Essential Church? Reclaiming a Generation of Dropouts.” Rainer said that most young people drop out of church, at least for a short time, when they turn 18 and can decide whether to go for themselves. “For most, it's that ‘I no longer have to do what my parents want me to do,' ” Rainer said. The young people who come back are the ones who were taught that going to church matters. “The lower the bar is set in church life, the more likely people are not to come back,” he said. Rainer said churches need to get youth involved in volunteer work. “Don't just entertain them with events,” he said. Darrell Walker, who runs youth ministry at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Nashville, Tenn., agrees. In recent years, some churches have turned to pop culture—playing video games like “Halo” or “Guitar Hero” in youth group—to attract students. That's not a good idea, he said. “They play with video games all the time,” he said. “So, why would they come to church to play around?”

Dean believes risks are involved in trying to change what youth groups teach. One is that kids will begin to act like Jesus—which can make their parents uncomfortable. “Most parents don't want their kids to end up too much like Jesus,” she said. Dean is the author of “Almost Christian,” a book based on the National Study of Youth and Religion, the largest study of faith and young people in U.S. history. Dean was one of the researchers involved in the project and interviewed dozens of young people about their faith. Researchers found that most young people believe in something they labeled “Moralistic Therapeutic Deism.” “It helps you feel good. Otherwise God stays out of the way,” Dean said. After Dean finished work on the study, her life changed. Her family left the large congregation they'd been attending, which had an extensive, more fun-based youth group, and moved to a small congregation that did more ministry. She and her husband also started talking more to their kids about their specific Christian beliefs. Dean said that she did so to help her kids understand that faith mattered in their lives. She has some advice for parents:

“Do one radical thing for your faith and do it for your kids,” she said. “And then explain to your kids why your faith matters.”

OBAMA'S RELIGIOUS VIEW IN HIS OWN WORDS (Chuck Norris, WorldNetDaily) – Last week, the media, White House and nation were in a hullabaloo over a Pew Research Center poll which revealed that one in five Americans believe President Obama is a Muslim. The poll received so much attention and response that the White House released a rebuttal reiterating that Obama is "a committed Christian." The fact is, Americans are more baffled now by Obama's personal religion than they were when he first came into office. John Green, University of Akron politics professor and senior fellow with the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, concluded, "I haven't seen any example, and I've been following polling of presidents for a long time now, of where we've seen increased confusion about religiosity the longer they're in office."  Part of the confusion comes, for example, when Obama doesn't make room to commemorate a National Day of Prayer with prominent Christian leaders or even spend time with the God-centered Boy Scouts of America at their national jamboree (as preceding presidents have), but he doesn't miss hosting the Muslim Iftar Ramadan dinner at the White House or pass up the chance to fight for the rights of Muslims to construct an Islamic mosque near Ground Zero. At times, Obama has given pointed responses about his faith in Christ. At other times, he comes across ambiguous and even clueless about his faith. Still, at other times, he is downright condescending about the Christian faith. With all the confusion and quandaries about Obama's religion lately, I rearranged the order of this four-part series to detail today exactly what Obama believes, including his beliefs about prayer, sin, heaven, the Bible and the person of Jesus, based upon a rare in-depth interview by a religious reporter of a major newspaper publication. By far, the best documentation of Obama's faith comes from this rare in-depth interview on March 27, 2004, when he was a candidate for the U.S. Senate. In it, Obama gave often lengthy responses about his faith and practice to a series of questions from then Chicago Sun Times religion reporter Cathleen Falsani, though he often seems confused and even obtuse in his replies. To the question do you pray often, Obama replied: "Uh, yeah, I guess I do." "Guess"? Not sure? When asked if he has read the Bible, Obama responded: "Absolutely. [But] These days I don't have much time for reading or reflection, period. … I'll be honest with you, I used to all the time, in a fairly disciplined way. But during the course of this campaign, I don't." "I don't"? In answering reporter Falsani's question, "Is there an example of a role model who combines everything you said you want do in your life, and your faith?" Obama's first response was, "I think Gandhi is a great example of a profoundly spiritual man." Gandhi? A Hindu? How about Jesus, since Obama claims to be a "committed Christian"?

Regarding sin, Obama defined it as: "Being out of alignment with my values." Mr. President, "your values," or God's values? Sin is transgression of God's law—period. And here is Barack Obama's response when asked pointedly, "Who's Jesus to you?" Immediately after the question, Obama laughed nervously. Then, after a rather sarcastic, "Right," he proceeded, "Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he's also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher. And he's also a wonderful teacher. I think it's important for all of us, of whatever faith, to have teachers in the flesh and also teachers in history." Could that "reaching something higher" possibly be heaven? In answering the question on whether he believed in a literal heaven or not, Obama retorted: "Do I believe in the harps and clouds and wings? … What I believe in is that if I live my life as well as I can, that I will be rewarded. I don't presume to have knowledge of what happens after I die." Obama went on in that same 2004 interview to explain his faith in these flip-flopping, relative, all-inclusive, New Age and even secular terms: "I am a Christian. … On the other hand, I was born in Hawaii where obviously there are a lot of Eastern influences. I lived in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, … I believe that there are many paths to the same place, … I retain from my childhood and my experiences growing up a suspicion of dogma. And I'm not somebody who is always comfortable with language that implies I've got a monopoly on the truth, or that my faith is automatically transferable to others. … I'm a big believer in tolerance. I think that religion at its best comes with a big dose of doubt. I'm suspicious of too much certainty. [T]here's an enormous amount of damage done around the world in the name of religion and certainty. … I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell. … That's just not part of my religious makeup." No wonder that, when asked to describe the moment at which he went forward in response to an altar call in his and Rev. Jeremiah Wright's church in 1987 or 1988, Obama said: "I think it was just a moment to certify or publicly affirm a growing faith in me." "I think it was"? Not sure again? No wonder Americans are confused about Obama's religion, because he himself sounds confused about it. Probably most revealing here are Obama's words to reporter Falsani about his modus operandi: "Part of the reason I think it's always difficult for public figures to talk about [their religious belief] is that the nature of politics is that you want to have everybody like you and project the best possible traits onto you. Oftentimes that's by being as vague as possible, or appealing to the lowest common denominators. The more specific and detailed you are on issues as personal and fundamental as your faith, the more potentially dangerous it is." If "being as vague as possible" is Obama's political advice to himself and others, he sure hasn't followed it with either his presidential commitment to pro-Islamic brawls or in his past anti-Christian rants. Remember, this is the president who gave this 2009 Cairo creed, emphatically stating to the Middle Eastern world that it was "part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear." Yet, when it comes to Christianity, he has actually done just the opposite. Two years after his interview with Chicago Sun Times religion reporter Cathleen Falsani, on June 28, 2006, then-Sen. Obama publicly perpetuated negative stereotypes of Christianity and defamed the religion and the words of its founder. From the pulpit of a church, speaking to a live audience about religious diversity, Obama sarcastically belittled America's Judeo-Christian heritage and degraded its adherents with trite remarks typical of any atheistic antagonist, saying things like: "Whatever we were, we are no longer a Christian nation," "The dangers of sectarianism are greater than ever," "Religion doesn't allow for compromise," "The Sermon on the Mount [is] a passage that is so radical that our own defense department wouldn't survive its application" and "To base our policy making upon such commitments [as moral absolutes] would be a dangerous thing." (You must see the YouTube video: "Barack Obama on the importance of a secular government." ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df6vXLytoWg ) That diatribe is nothing short of a pure unadulterated rallying cry for antagonists of Christianity. And gone but not forgotten is Obama's religiously belittling statement on the campaign trail in April of 2008 about many residents in small-town America. You might recall, at a private California fundraiser, when he addressed the economic hardships of those in Pennsylvania, he criticized them by saying: "You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. … And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion … as a way to explain their frustrations." And to which "religion" was Obama negatively referring? Islam? Christianity, of course. And the whole time I consider Obama's anti-Christian diatribes and religious rubbish, I keep coming back to the words of President George Washington in his presidential Farewell Address, advice our current president would be wise especially now to heed: "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them." "A committed Christian"? I guess I completely don't understand what the word "committed" means.
