FGN Update 2-28-05

Webcasts: http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/247

Hi all, just a quick email,

1. Next show this Wed. 3/2/05, Ch. 11, 8:00-8:50 pm.
2. IRS Update
3. Webcasts for this week and next

1. For my TV show this Wed., 3-2-05:

Part 1, from 8:00-8:30, will be talking with Mimi Haddad of CBE (Christians for Biblical Equality) (click here to see their website). It will be a friendly interview to promote her ministry.

Part 2 is from 8:30-8:50 pm. I invited a guest, but I don't know if he has accepted. Guest? Have you ever seen the cable-access show called "The Joe Show?" I invited Joe (and a friend of his) to join me in a religious chat session. Someone once described him as a cross between Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh. If he doesn't accept for this week, I'll do another segment where I show Christians how to present the Gospel (non-Christians are invited to watch and accept the Lord, if interested).

2. IRS Update. I finally heard back from the IRS, regarding 501c3 recognition. They want some additional info. I estimate this might all get done in the next 2 weeks!

3. Now showing on webcast (click here).

This week:

Islam: Show #1 of 3
Sunday, February 27, 2005
Bernie Dehler (Evangelical Christian) discusses the link, if any, between Islam and terrorism, with his friend, Muslim teacher Mohammad Rahman.
Verse(s): Matthew 16:13-20

Starting Next Sunday:

Greed, #1 of 2
Sunday, March 6, 2005
Bernie Dehler shares his opinion about greed in the church at large, today. How different than the early disciples who gave it ALL up for God (Luke 12:33; Luke 18:28; Acts 4:32-35). Some "ministers" need to be reminded that we cannot serve both God and money.
Verse(s): Matthew 6:24

FGN update, 2-19-05 (re-ignite the passion for Christ)

Webcasts: http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/247

Hi all, just a quick email,

One of the most impressionable speeches for me from the National Religious Broadcaster's (NRB) Convention was a speech by Dr. John MacDonald (click here to see his ministry at oneplace.com, called "Walk in the Word"). I didn't know of him prior to this.

The speech was an exhortation to do the work of an evangelist. Many times, even preachers get "burnt out" and need to get re-adjusted, or re-ignited. I found this speech very helpful and encouraging to me. I think it would be good to forward to your Pastor and missionary friends (I was told when I bought it that it was ok to pass around and even re-broadcast).

Click here for the MP3, or here for the Windows Media Player audio file.

Especially good for me was to hear him validate my views regarding the way of life for Preachers-- non-materialistic. In the audio, this is in the time range of 6:00-6:45. I consider this a small miracle, because I really needed to hear this for confirmation, and when he said these few sentences, he was looking right at me (the only time during the whole speech). I felt like God was talking to me through him.

The speech starts out pretty slow, so have some patience. He has a really funny "donkey story" in there, too. Of course, you lose a lot by not seeing the video, but I hope the audio is as encouraging to you as it was to me.

FGN 2-17-05 Update

Webcasts: http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/247

Hi all, just a quick email,

1. Hideout Music Ministries, now playing

2. NRB Convention Details

3. Oneplace report (MP3 downloads)

4. Washington County Playback

1. The show with Hideout Ministries (Keith Teasdale) is now showing at oneplace.com. Click here to see it: http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/247/ .

2. National Religious Broadcaster's Convention (NRB). I just got back yesterday from this event in Anaheim, CA. It was very good for me. I learned so much about building the ministry, and got answers to questions I didn't even have.

I didn't know what to expect. I was afraid it might be corrupted, like TBN, on TV. To my surprise, the event was rather solid, with no sign of the greedy Prosperity (Health & Wealth) "Gospel" scammers around. I'll be putting much more info about this in the next few days. Can you imagine Benny Hinn sharing a stage with Joni Eareckson Tada? Benny Hinn's nonsense can't stand in the midst of reality. Joni appeared and gave a moving speech. This is key: correct application of Luke 9:23.

3. Oneplace downloads. January is my first month being hosted on the web at: http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/247 . For January, there were over (700) MP3 downloads. It will be interesting and exciting to see what kind of trend happens over the first 3 months. These are floating all over the world, literally. Some visitors are from many different countries, including Australia, Singapore, etc.

4. Here's the replay schedule for my last show, filmed last night.
Part 1, feedback from the NRB convention.
Part 2, Gospel presentation, with hand-drawings.
