Debt Is Satanic – What Are You Doing About It?
August 20, 2007
This past Sabbath, Pastor Scott spoke about why debt is damaging to Christians (look out for Episode #3 on August 26). He explained that debt:
- Robs us of our true purpose.
- Takes away our free time.
- Makes us unhealthy.
- Makes us a slave to the financial institutions.
- Is satanic.
I am now debt-free as a result of prayer and alot of sacrifice. What were those sacrifices?

GOD IS SO GOOD!! Testimony!!
July 22, 2006
Hi Again Everyone…ok so I’m kinda shy so you won’t see me at the front of the church sharing this testimony….BUT since we have this wonderful blog site here…thought I might as well share the updates.
Ok so here goes…:
I have been searching for a suitable place to live for myself and my son Dante…the place we are at now is, well, unsuitable to say the least. For example, it’s always cold here, whether it’s winter or summer. There are a lot and I mean A LOT of God’s lil friends here…aka BUGS.
Oh no these are not normal bugs not at all..these are HUGE MUTANT bugs…ok I know I”m overreacting but I REALLLLLY don’t like bugs. There have been certain problems with the landlord overstepping his boundries as a landlord and things of that nature…bottom line…I needed OUT! So what did I do…I prayed to God…I asked him for a sign that I need to get outta here, I wanted something CLEAR…well I sure got it just a few days later!!
Man attacked by lion while challenging God
June 6, 2006
One of the most bizarre stories I’ve seen yet. A man lowered himself into a lion’s den at a zoo and shouted, “God will save me, if He exists.” Unfortunately, a lioness in the den mauled the man to death.
How silly. Why would this man think that God would protect him doing something so foolish? I need a Bible text here.
Chicken and egg debate unscrambled
May 29, 2006
Egg came first, ‘eggsperts’ agree
I disagree, just like my friend who sent me this article from CNN. Thanks Karl
1. There is no scientific proof that one type of animal produces a different type. Horses do not produce pigs.
2. I believe the Genesis story, which indicates that God made fully formed animals (just as Adam and Eve were adult not babies or fetuses) and then told them to go and multiply.
What do you think?

I’m Getting Baptised! YAY!!!!
May 24, 2006
I don’t know if this is more testimony or good news, but as some of you who already know who I am, know, I’m getting Baptised!!!
I’m so happy and have so many questions about what to expect (Haven’t met with our lovely Pastor Scott as yet, hopefully this week I will though). I am truly blessed though and wanted to thank all of you at Kanisa Fellowship for welcoming me with open arms into your family (even the very first time I walked through the doors of your Church as a perfect stranger!!).
I love each and every one of you dearly and could not imagine a day in my new life in Christ without you all! I look foward to learning new things and sharing them with the people I know and love who are not with us…YET!! I’m determined to bring my friends and family to meet my Kanisa Family.
Mary Magdalene and "The Da Vinci Code"
May 22, 2006
“The Da Vinci Code” especially misses the point about Mary when it makes its case that she was the bride of Christ. Both the novel and the film use as their evidence a gap-filled passage from the Gospel of Philip, a Gnostic Gospel of the second century. The passage reads as follows: “And the companion of the [gap] Mary Magdalene. [Gap] her more than [gap] the disciples [gap] kiss her [gap] on her [gap].” The gaps are maddening. Companion of whom? Loved her more than what? Kiss her where? But even if we fill in what seems to be the logical meaning—Jesus loved Mary more than the male apostles and kissed her on her mouth—the passage is less sensational than we might think. In the Gnostic tradition, kisses on the lips are not an erotic act but a chaste gesture meant to symbolize the passage of knowledge and spiritual truth. Elsewhere in the Gospel of Philip, Jesus also kisses his male disciples on the mouth. (If the makers of “The Da Vinci Code” wanted to interpret this act as erotic, they would no doubt be facing even more vehement protests from conventional Christians.) The passage is certainly significant, for it could imply that Jesus gave Mary special authority in his church. But “The Da Vinci Code” fails to make this point by mistaking the nature of Jesus’ kiss.
Da Vinci Code: Time to evangelize
May 16, 2006
Here’s an article in the Toronto Star about a group of Christian folks who’ll be handing out tracts to movie goers who are standing in line waiting to see The Davinci Code.
This is the reason why I’m really glad that The Davinci Code book exists. While some Christians will argue that it’s distracts people from God’s truth, for others, the book and now the movie is helping to bring people closer to God. And on top of that, Christians are searching the Bible for the truth to refute the claims made in Dan Brown’s fictional tale. And if it takes a book and a movie to prompt Christians to pick up their armour and renew their interest in the Bible, I’m all for it.
