An update on my life...

Friends and Family,

First I would like to start off by wish you all a happy new year! I hope Thanksgiving, Christmas, and your new year went well! They are very exciting times of the year and it was great to see many of you over Christmas and thanksgiving.

I have currently in my third year at the Honor Academy. Because the Lord has poured out His Grace, this year I don’t have to pay any money. My ministry placement has covered the cost of this third year. I would like to thank all of you for supporting me at my first two years of the Honor Academy.
I would like to tell you how my year has gone so far and about something new and exciting! This year has been great! In August I started courting a girl by the name of Melonie. There is a picture of her and me on the right hand side and the top of your page. She is 20 years old, from California and loves Jesus a lot! I met her at the Honor Academy and have known her for little more then two years. There are two different waves at the Honor Academy, an August wave and a January wave. I’m on the August wave and she just graduated the January wave. With that she is back in California working and going to college.

Other exciting things have been happening in my life. This year I live in a house and not in the dorms. I have the chance to cook food in a kitchen and wash dishes in a sink. This is very different life after living in the dorms for two years. I am given $154.00 a month to go out and buy food. Wal-Mart is the closest store to shop at and it’s where I buy most of my food.

I have the same ministry placement this year. So if you forgot, I work in Global Expeditions as the Promotions Supervisor for the TrueNorth Leadership Seminar. I have a team of eight interns, they are my call team. This year has been a harder year in our call center. Our ministry (Teen Mania) has different aspects of it, Battle Cry, Acquire the Fire (ATF), Extreme Camps, Global Expeditions (GE), Creation Fest, TrueNorth Leadership Seminar (TNS), The Honor Academy (HA) and Teen Serve. The main way we have to recruit people to join the HA or to come on a GE mission trip is through ATF. Youth come to ATF then sign up for one of the two. In my department, TNS, our major feed is ATF as well. With all that said, you can understand the ripple effect when I tell you that our ATF numbers have been lower then ever this year. Not many people are ATF means not many anywhere else in the ministry. Not many people also hurts the ministry financially, as you can see from my food money they stretch every penny. Our department is not excluded from this impact. That is why this year has been one of the hardest for my department. Please continue to pray for Teen Mania Ministries.

Also, if you are on the internet please check out my blog at: www.timothyreeves.blogspot.com (which were on right now) I have a lot of updates to my life and things on my heart. I try and write on it once or twice a week. I also will be going on a mission trip this summer; the goal is Scotland for one month, more information on that to come.
I love you all, God Bless!

The Prayer that Sends Many to Hell

Rob who? pt. 2

Friends and family,

I’m sorry it has taken so long to write pt.2 on Rob Bell. I hope many of you have not forgotten what was said before. I spoke briefly on why we should expose false teachers. I spoke out of Eph 5: 8-12, Gal 6:1, 2 and Matt 23. You may read it below in my blog history.

Now is time to move into some of the things this man actually believes.

The first strike I would like to put on his record is, guilty by association. This is something common I think people mistakenly over look. In our law system, it’s possible to not commit a crime but still be guilty for it. For example, I live in the quads here at Teen Mania. My quad is called “The Man Shack” and there are about nine men total in our house. If three of us hop in Andrews gangsta mobile and pull a drive by; Dathan is the one who shoots, Andrew drives and I’m in the back seat praying, who’s guilty of the crime? All three of us are. This was also played out in the Bible. Many stories in the Old Testament God had the Israelites kill entire cities, men, women, children and some times live stock. If you remember Joshua eight, the Israelites took over Ai, killed all the men, women- captured the king and took the live stock. The women did not fight the war? No. But they were indeed killed. Let’s take another Biblical example; all of humanity, guilty of sin before we’re even born. Why, because one man sinned, if that’s not guilty by association (by being born human) I don’t know what is.

With all that said how is Mr. Bell guilty by association? He has Mr. Doug Pagitt ( who dose not believe in the Doctrine of Hell and is one of the leaders within the Emerging church), Mr. Shane Claiborne (huge emerging fellow), Donald Miller (who wrote “Blue like Jazz”) and Mr. Brian Mclaren (who does not believe that Jesus is God, is very post modern and does not believe in the Doctrine of Hell) come preach at in his pulpit. This is what I mean when I talk about guilty by association. Mr. Bell has men who do not believe in the same Jesus of the Bible, come and peach at his church! They are not Christians according to 2 John 9.

Some might say: Maybe he does not know what they believe. To this I would say two things. One: If you don’t know what someone believes and you let them come preach from the Word of God, what a negligent Shepard. A man, who does not learn about their Theology before they teach one of the biggest churches in the United States, should not be a pastor at all. Two: If you know anything about these men, they clearly agree with one another and even write books together. To say: “these men do not agree theologically with each other” is a statement made out of ignorance.

Strike one for Mr. Bell- guilty by association. This strike alone should be enough for all of you to throw him out Christian. Why? Read Titus 1: 5-9, Mr. Bell should be the one exhorting and convicting those people who contradict sound doctrine. But we find just the opposite happening; he is allowing, encouraging and teaching it himself.

Christian- do you need more then this first strike call him a false teacher? No doubt I will be giving you more strikes, but that’s not the point. Ask your self, what standard am I holding my teaching and preaching to? How much compromise will I let in? Is Jesus precious enough to you to that you will test everything like 1 Thessalonians 5:21 tells us to? Please I beg of you, hold it up to the Truth of God’s Word and let every man be a liar and God stand true!

More strikes to come.

I love you all and pray that God well keep and preserve you.
