If you asked different people, you'll get different answers. To some it is where those intolerant people meet. Some say it is where superstitious people worship an old fashioned religion. Others see the church as the building where they worship God. What is the church Biblically?
The word church is derived from the Greek work ecclesia. The word has the idea of "called out to an assembly." It was a word used to describe a town meeting. Biblically, the church were the ones called out by God. We tend to think of the church as a building or organization. It is actually an organism or a body. The church is the body of Christ.
Originally the church was divided into regions. Each city or district of a city had a local assembly. Denominations did not occur until after the reformation. Denominations occurred over divisions over free will versus God's sovereignty, church versus state and other issues. Today there are churches of all kinds. Today even non-Christian groups, like Scientology, call themselves "a church".
The church was meant to be an assembly of God's redeemed people. It was where they gathered for prayer, worship, fellowship, reading from the Bible, preaching and commemoration of the Lord's Supper.
What is the perfect church? It is a church where God is glorified. It is a church that seeks to please God. It is a church that pleases God in everything they do. It is a church that does things God's way. It is a church that reads, believes, and obeys God's word.
He won the straw poll?
Every year the Conservative Political Action committee or cpac ends its convention with a presidential straw poll. No one expected that this person would win the poll. It was not anyone who was considered in the top tear. It was not Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty , Sarah Palin or Mike Huckabe. It was Texas Congressman Ron Paul.
Ron Paul is a libertarian leaning politician. He became a folk hero during the 2008 campaign. He was not considered a serious contender. He is pro life. He supports the legalization of drugs, opposes the war in Iraq and the overall war on terror. He supports the paleo-conservative view that the Monroe Doctrine should still be the bases of U.S foreign policy. He believes that the old world should not interfere in the new or vice versa.
Paul is not liked by the republican party Establishment. He was disliked by rush, hanity and Laura Ingram. Why did Paul win this straw poll? The tea party came in droves to this years cpac. The views of the tea party are more in line with the views of Ron Paul.
Ron Paul is not going to be the 2012 republican nominee! Even if he did., the party elders would probably defund the race. This could split or end the republican party. This could be a repeat of the Wilson-Taft- Roosevelt race. I don't see Him getting that far.
I agree that the President should follow the Constitution and ask Congress to declare war before sending troops into combat. I believe that the War on terror was a just war, I don't believe that the war in Iraq was. I don't believe that marijuana should be legalized.
Ron Paul's victory is a non story. Paul's people are good at organizing there people. They are not good at organizing anyone else. During the 2008 primary, they were to able to get there people out to the debates. The audience would frequently vote for him as the winner of the debates because they were his people. They were true believers. It is a good P.R victory !that is all.!Ron Paul is a good guy but he will not be President.

Enchanted: A Movie Review
Enchanted is a Disney movie that is a combination of animation and live action. It starts out pretty common. A prince falls in love with a young maiden named Jazelle. Almost instantaneously they fall in love. His mother, the queen, does not want that to happen. She casts a spell and sends Jazelle to our world.
In our world she meets a lawyer and his daughter. The man is a divorce lawyer. He believes that the world is cruel and nothing lasts forever, especially love. While the prince goes to our world to find her.
At first I did not want to see this movie. It appeared to be another chick flick. There is a lot of romance, but it is very funny. One of my favorite scenes is when Jazelle sings while she cleans. Suddenly a bunch of animals come and help. It seems to that someone who was also involved in Spaceballs might have helped in the production.
This movies has some suggestive themes but there is not a lot of sexually explicit scenes. Unlike most Disney movies, it is not really a children's movie. It gets pretty scary at times. I did not like the scene where the queen morphed into a beast. For the most part I really like it. This is a good movie for husbands and wives to see together because it has something for everyone. She'll love the romance and he'll love the zany humor.
