I got this letter from my sister-in-law, LuAnn Siebs and was so moved to write all my friends and loved ones this letter. So here it is on our blog in case you missed it. My other sister-in-law, Laura, had a great point about how Christians in the movie industry have put out some great Christian movies that promote faith in Jesus Christ...one being the one that we just bought and really really like, Facing the Giants. I also realize that since Jesus came and died for us there are many many poeple who have mocked him and influenced others to turn away - so this is nothing new. I suppose though, since the movies/television reach so many people I felt such urgency in this situation. God is all knowing and He knows what is happening so it's not like it's going on "behind His back". He is in complete control and allows it even though He is not causing it. It is our job as Christians is to spread the seed of Truth though...So...anyways, here's a nice long read for you. Be encouraged! :-)

You might want to check this out. I am praying that the Truth is revealed in the hearts of people everywhere...I personally attest to the power and life giving love that accepting Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior and how he has changed my life. So many try to change and "be good" on their own and it works...but not for long. That is because we need God's power and the Holy Sprit to help us. THis might sound crazy to some of you who know me, love me, and don't really talk about this stuff too much with me but please heed the warnings! Read the book of Revelation...the Truth is there. For many of you that know me, you know that I have truly changed and have become a different and changed human being since the last days of my college years at Western Illinois University. I was selfish, ignorant, pushy, a party girl, had a filthy mouth, cared too much about my appearance, was starving for love (always needed a boyfriend), lived a lifestyle that I am not proud of, worked at a bar where I dressed to gain to self-esteem from the looks that guys gave, didn't respect authority for many things, etc. etc. etc...I give all the glory to God for His grace in helping me see and believe that He sent His son, Jesus Christ, to die for my sins and rising again on the third day to defeat death and ascending into Heaven in physical form...meaning that he is still alive today and will be returning to Earth just as the Bible says (proving that he was and is God's son born to do just that)...He has changed me, changed my heart, He has loved me and still does love me with an everlasting love...There is no way possible I would be living the blessed life and I am right now, married to RYan (who is also a believer and is a wonderful man, husband and father), have two healthy beautiful boys, etc. etc. etc...if I hadn't given my life to him....He is the only one who could have and did change my heart and my life...and He can do the same for you! I guess I write this with such urgency because I see what the world is doing and how the movie industry really does influence so many people...calmly and slyly adding lies in here and there to make us doubt our faith and making poeple who may be questioning theirs, really question it and either go the other way or just be lukewarm, non-complacent, and unable to see the urgency of what and how important faith in Jesus CHrist and what he came to Earth to do really is for their life. I pray that you find this upcoming letter major food for thought and that you see the Truth of God's plan to save us from our sins...sending His son Jesus to die for them instead of us....and that you will trust in him also and have not only a blessed and abundant life..but a ticket into Heaven for eternity when that time comes.
May God bless you richly as you either read this and are encouraged as a person who has already given your life to Jesus Christ OR are someone seeking to fill that hole in your heart that can only be filled with God's love through accepting His Son, Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior....

Subject: Mock-U-Mentary http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,254669,00.html
Well Folks, It is true. FoxNews website has just posted a headline about the James Cameron 'Mock-u-mentory' and Cameron is indeed claiming that Jesus' body has been found. FoxNews is treating it fairly and there are obviously those who are fighting against this blasphemy very rigorously. The next two weeks will be very interesting in regard to how this all plays out. How the other media outlets spin this will be important to watch. I am going out on a limb (of sorts) here . . . but this is what I believe is in motion (and this is backed by many years of study in this whole area): Satan is working a deception here regarding the arising Anti-christ. He is setting the stage. He is working many different angles (DaVinci Code, Holy Blood/Holy Grail, Knights Templar saga, Gospel of Judas, etc.) to bring about a worldwide belief that Yeshua Messiah was just one of many Ascended Masters -- a great teacher and 'spiritual evolutionary' . . . calling us to understand certain mysteries (the hidden message in Jesus' teachings). There is the arising of gnostic heresy in a powerful wave. It is the teachings of Simon Magus. Remember that a core tenet of gnosticism is that the physical is bad . . . therefore the body is bad! Listen to these claims that will be coming out. That Jesus may have arisen spiritually into heaven, not physically! In this the continual mantra is that Jesus and Mary Magdalene became married and bore a child . . . in the case of this upcoming 'Mock-u-mentary' the child's name is Judah -- and they are going to claim DNA evidence. This will set things up to reveal to the world that Anti-Christ is from the linage of Jesus, by 'proving' a DNA connection. If you remember my teaching/opinion on the nephilim and the importance of the 'seed' issue . . . you can begin to see how this may all unfold. Will the evolutionist and non-christian Intelligent Design folks be brought together by Antichrist, who will talk of the 'elohim' who fostered the evolution of mankind, by claiming to have been the ones who established man here on this planet? I could add 10 more questions, but will save you the eye fatigue. But the lie will be put forth that it is time for man to make the next evolutionary spiritual jump and that Antichrist will be able to help us do that!
Remember the warning of God's Word to us in II Thessalonians 2:1-12: "Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." The question is . . . "what is that lie and the strong delusion that all the people of the world believe"? Keep tuned in and keep those eyes and ears open!
Blessings, Brent = --------________________________________________________________________________
