You may discover … that this is more than Just a website!

… you may discover, that this website not only presents you with the Salvation Gospel, it also aims at helping you develop your Personal Critical think. It provides hidden places for light Discipleship Study, and some Passionfire Ministry Information. Hope you look around on the site and find something cool.

So, why not a website? …Because, websites are far too often associated with “Trying to sell you something” and NO!…we are NOT trying to sell you anything.. Not even Jesus? Nope, silly rabbit, you can’t sell Jesus! … and if we, (in a sick way) could? He would be way out of your price range and ours, because Salvation is something Priceless! OK dudes … Jesus is like… FREE. In other words, knowing Jesus … the only cost is, that you believe!

Also, know this; if there is good education, you already have been taught that you have, “American Constitutional Freedom,” Inalienable rights, fundamental rights inherent to all people that cannot be transferred, denied, or taken away. Guess what? These natural rights come from God, such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, which includes your choice of faith and are considered a natural part of human existence and cannot be nullified by any human or Govt. power or law. They differ from “alienable” or “legal” rights, which can be surrendered or removed by a government or through a contract. In the United States anyway, you have the right to hold on to any Historical/Cultural beliefs of faith, you also have the “American Constitutional Freedom” to follow any faith you may choose for yourself, and also to share in this faith, testify or share your observations of faith, and like the scientific method, to collect faith data through experiences like worship, to form your own faith conclusions, and to express these conclusions, by mouth/or your writings. These are your rights also. So, just go explore this site, meet with the Creator/Savior King, and have some fun.

Note: There does exist here, hidden nooks and crannies to find within these pages. Including the love of Christ! You will find all this and more, from Youth Educational Game aids, Discipleship aids, Some Hard Questions, Critical Thinking topics, Missionary Educator Teaching games, Old and New Photos, Blog posts, Videos, even some (Magician) Magi Secrets, some of our Worship Music for downloading, Evangelism, Prayer/Faith Opportunities, and even a few Music videos … like on da-MTV. You may find all this, embedded with in these pages.

So, why the Hard Questions? Because, we were once Youth and Children’s ministers. Meaning, that we consider, the “asking of hard questions” as being very healthy and normal, in all learning environments, and we think it promotes actual learning to occur. This is a good direction for anyone to move into …thinking for themselves. Kids need to think for themselves, because, “Many lips are just squawking out opinions, just talk-n-more talk, but are not really giving out the correct answers.” it’s Just a fact, that not all answers, are the correct answers! You must “Critical Think” it through. Discipleship Teaching, comes natural to us. Got older kids/teens with spiritual questions? Send them here to go look around.

Our Personal Public Disclosure: Why? Because transparency is associated with Truth. We are Christians, that have become Missionary Educators/Evangelists. We know we have some bias believing what we do. With that said, If it’s found within these pages, there does exist any agenda other than creating a Safe place to meet with Christ Jesus, discover Critical Think, and Simply Taste and see that God is good. Just know upfront that, our leanings are always slanted towards the Christian faith, and when thinking Educationally, we think we are more of; a (Combined Scholastic view, with a bit of some selected pieces/parts of the Modernist Schools-of-thought). We are in no way, (Post-Modernist, and we do not follow along with any Secular Humanistic Schools-of-thought). We find that most people are in someway, a combination of at least three different schools-of-thought or more. Being different is always OK. Hope we can still be accepting of each other and our many differing views! And at the very least engage in friendly discourse. And If while reading, you find a page difficult in some way, we hope you just move off of “that page” and go to “another one”. We will always help people, regardless of differing views or view points! That is what Christ teaches in scripture! Blessings, Mark and Karen Daughtry

• Just what is Scholastic ?… The merging of science experience/testing with Theology and your personal belief in God. Also, it can be described as the recognition and the separations of the disciplines; likewise, the belief that there exists in this world many (Disciplines or Schools-of-Thought), some of these (Schools-of-thought) are good, others are not, some uplift morals, others do not, some contain truth, others do not, some think God gives us truth, others do not, But, you must be able to critical think in-order to recognize the good schools from bad. This is where Theology comes alongside. Some schools teach that man creates truth, not a good school that I would choose to attend. An Example: Jesus had 12 students, His disciples, and He taught them amazing Truth. … Many others taught way differently with human philosophies elevated, along with human principalities and precepts that were against God. (Colossians 2:8)… This is where actual False Prophets come in to the picture. This is Idolatry {Phila – means Love} and {Sophia – means Wisdom} Basically Loving Man’s Wisdom above God’s. When you enter into covert Idolatry, you lose “critical think” and run the risk of falling for numerous other crazy (Schools-of-thought) that can be established and come into the picture as well, so don’t drink the cool aid! A warning by (Irenaeus) presented some 2000 years ago, gave very strong insight and critical think guidance in this area.
• Just what is a Modernist mind frame ?… I think it’s just a weaker forerunner of a milder version of the Humanistic School-of-thought, which, in context, is not all bad if you know the actual meaning. Why? Because, Humanistic means Human. God created humans to be human, have free will, have doubts, have questions, use their own mind, Critical Think, use observations, draw conclusions, make decisions, have the potential to do good for all humankind, and be happy with each and every humans self worth. Modernism, is perfectly Ok with allowing for, a struggle, a struggle with the tangible things we see; and yet, it allows us to remain open to aspects of the necessary intangible wonders, like allowing for the unseen. For Example: things we don’t fully understand, like spirituality, like unlimited grace and forgiveness, Like the Trinity, like being born again, and the unexplainable very real supernatural experiences we can have during our life, and even that which forms deep spiritual changes in us. Meaning this, all things just can’t be understood and that is ok. For example: Descartes, a Christian and, the (Father of the Scientific Method)…. Well, he was both a Christian and a Modernist, (although, in his own stated views, he was mostly into good works, instead of having the deep understanding of God’s grace), I am thinking, (that grasping the deep, deep, depths …of God’s amazing grace is probably something that is (not so easy), even for a brilliant mind to do) when you think intellectually, and that you must somehow be able to explain everything from human perspective. Spoiler – you don’t.
• ————————- Why is there a line drawn here? ———- Because, I myself, choose to continue in the joy of keeping an open mind towards one’s personal God experiences, which are, the intangible things, that we cannot always explain or observe; therefore, I personally choose not to cross this line. Why? Because, I don’t want to replace Theology (the Study of God) with any other ologies, Like Philosophy, Sociology (Comte), Phycology, or even Cultural Anthropology. See, Post-Modernist have already filled people’s minds so that they will think like this, “For Example: like saying God, is only a construct of the Human Psyche or the human brain”; and I choose, not to believe this silliness. Or follow along with the False teacher Philosophers, {Man’s wisdom Lovers} who continually replace morality with Relativism and/or … God’s truth with Relativism. They, only try to destroy “The Old Ways” to satisfy their own puffed egos. For example: take the issue of Relativity, now, I really like (Albert Einstein), and I like his amazing (Theory of Relativity) As amazing as this theory is, it was meant to find meaning inside the discipline of Physics. And therefore: I am also choosing, to let God be understood as God, in the discipline of Theology. And not move God to the discipline of Psychology. I will not stop Critical thinking! I will not just declare because I have been taught by higher Education {Lovers of Man’s Wisdom}, that God is a psychological construct: “a deity spawned out of mere human thought.” When my experience has shown me other-wise… this is just more silliness thinking. …And there are bucket loads of man made sillinesses, false precepts, and false deities bouncing around like ping pong balls. I truly believe, there is only … one true God. This is, my personal observation, my data, and my conclusion. And my personal expression is this…. So note this, He was not dreamed up by some Man!—————–Just call me an Old School believer in the Faith that our fathers passed to us. Now, to believe this, is not to be religious, it is to be in fact, an individual that chooses for his or her self in which kingdom they will belong to and serve, either a physical one or a spiritual one. Will your God be above the Earth or of this Earth to be more specific?——————————————— And therefore, this is my Line in the sand! And, this is the reason why it is here!…. Because, I made up my mind against the world at this spot, I have chosen this for myself, and I made this – a very personal line, … I drew my line here. ———————————————— and Yes, I am very happy where I drew it. …I highly encourage all to make up their own minds and draw their own lines. Elijah had relationship with his God. Elijah said boldly “I don’t care which (God/gods) you chose to follow, go and follow em, and let me know how things are working out for you! (1 Kings 18:21) Choose who is your God! I did!… Study God’s scripture! … critical think, make up your own mind. … and you, “Do you” .. and later, let’s see how that is working out for you! ….Critical think! What will you do if the earthly Idol, turns out to be just that and nothing else?
• Just what is a Post-Modernist … They believe most everything created by a Western educational practice or culture, and even morality; is bad, and must be rejected and destroyed, torn down, thrown away, and without any research or question, they think, even History should be discarded, or worse, we should let an approved Revisionist Recreate everything as meaningless. There is an implied, burn the books mentality about everything that disagrees with, or challenges their Group Think methodology which only promotes and shares a desire, for a Godless-Removal of the Old Ways, making way for creating a Morality Void Secular State. FYI… I am an opponent to any idea of removing God from our society and/or culture. This cannot be allowed, It is an elienaliable right given to us all. By God.
• Just what is a Secular Humanist … They feel that in-order for humans to progress, they must surrender any archaic belief in a faith/God. A follower of Compte, The proponent (T.B. Wakeman) even wanted all Christians to be thrown in jail. For the record, Non-secular, just regular Humanists aren’t all bad, and we see, that they usually do not agree with Secular-Humanists. Simply said, about the Non-secular Humanist, they just have a very high view of Man. They, like most all Humanists, believe that there is actual good in humans to do good aside from God. I see possibilities of some of the human race doing good stuff here. Human race can also do bad stuff. I also believe that, a lot of evil, is mostly just from Human conduct, and not the Devil. Therefore, you should not say, “The Devil made me do it, nonsense!” Why? Well part of any humanist belief should be having the guts to take responsibility for your own actions before blaming God, Religion, or the Devil for everything, or blaming even other humans. Not all professing non-secular humanist are closed to God possibilities, they, (some of them), openly wrestle with a belief in a God, and some may attain a slight belief in the possibility of faith in a deity/God. This is called Agnosticism. Where one, is simply open, to the possibilities of allowing for a faith to develop as they wait on some form of acceptable evidence. Non-secular Humanist, tend to be more Agnostic wanting/needing some proof, where Secular-Humanist tend to be more Atheistic. Rejecting even the idea of God. This is only my personal observation of the two. Most common types of Humanists. And remember this is America. And everyone is entitled to his/her own belief or personal views.
