I wish I could have seen that. If any one has a tape of this I would pay
for it. God is soooo good-he will take the "Toughest Bouncer in America"
(Mr. T's former title) and turn him into the passionate Christian he is
today. Shows us there is indeed hope for all of us!
To God be the glory!
Brother Duane, I'm here dancin' wit' you!

*wOW...i'M HUMBLED..
<G> I "enjoyed" watching Mr."T" of the "A" team on TBN
give his tesimony last night.. here's a quote:
"...you say you don't beleve in God,
I PITTY 'DA KINE OF FOOL 'eS YOU!"
He had the 'suit in the goldleaf chair climbing the wall,
and curling his toes at his speech, mannerizums...passion
and Mr.T began to *PREACH! THE TBN 'stiffshirt could not
shut Mr.T up!
Mr.T has had a Cancer dionosis, and treatment and is
trusting God for healing! It's been 5 years, and he still
is alive...
Mr.T is self-consumed, a Hollywood "showman" and open to
criticizum by the polite "christian world" for his involvement
in worldly pleasures and passions. So forth-so on!
Mr.T had a father who was a penecostal minister, and he began to
preach shot bursts of scripture he has recalled from his youth<G>
they were all over the map!
*every other quote was mixed-up and backward and out of context<G>
HEHEHE... *I LOVED IT!
There's no doubt Mr.T is a wild child<G>
*But he made a point.. *GOD HAS TOUCHED HIM, and his shareing
that will bring folks back to GOD! He was a fresh wind<G>
----
He sat there and wiped sweat off his Mr.T hairdo<G> You
saw the sweat soak his T-shirt as he *raged... when the
singer began to sing *John the Revilator...*for a break..
Mr.T got up to dance!
This wasn't a "polite AG pentecostal two-step<G>"
Mr.T was DANCE'N!
*I didn't much care what his "politics" was or what his
"agenda" might be.. I stood up in my home and DANCED
WITH Mr.T!!!! Mr.T whirrled... boogied down and stomped!
So did I!

> I'll agree with you on the sanctity of life from conception to natural
death part. As for the war and capital punishment, I may backpedal a bit and
conclude that there is a lot of complexity to the subject, and many
Christians disagree on some of the details. Like you, I did serve in the U.
S. Navy, and I don't think I could credibly claim that all military activity
is wrong. On the other hand, there are some cases where war is wrong. For
example, I believe it was wrong for Iraq to invade Kuwait. If I were in the
Iraqi army at that time, I would have been a C. O. As for capital
punishment, since God Himself commanded it through Moses in the old
testament for premeditated murder and certain other very serious crimes, I
don't condemn those who promote it, provided that the guilt of the accused
murderer is proved beyond the shadow of a doubt. I don't think I could carry
out an execution, though.

believe he did well in throwing his support to George W. Bush when it became
clear that he wouldn't make it to the White House, himself. Be that as it
may, the election, count, re-count, appeals, and re-re-counts are over, and
we have a president-elect to pray for, just like we have a president to pray
for. Our civic obligation as Christians doesn't end at the ballot box or
even at our national borders. We have a duty not only to vote for righteous
candidates and issues, but to support those who hold office and are moving
into office with prayer -- no matter which way we voted and no matter if we
had to hold our nose while we voted.
