Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
-Ephisians 6:11 NIV

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist
-Ephiseans 6:14a NIV

so, why is truth important and why is it mentioned first? that’s what i asked myself right away. what God has told me is that not only does it keep lies out, but it lets you know when you’re not telling the truth. i don’t know about you, but if i’m wearing a belt that i don’t want to, i usually take it off. however, if it’s the first peice of armor, you have to take everything else off first, then take the belt off. the point being not only is it the first line of defence against the enemy, as his first weapon is usually lies, but it also protects us from ourselves. i lie to myself on occasion, and when i do, it’s nice to have a belt that’s anoying and rubbing up against you is rather convicting.
welcome to the armor of God ladies and gentlemen. this is just step one, and it gets more intence and better from here!

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 NIV

think we’ve pissed off enough of those politically correct people yet? the Bible is not something that is “politically correct” in any sence of the term. nor are we here at graphe arithmos. this is just another day of defining a little bit of what we are and what we’re doing here. this is not for the faint of heart. we don’t pull punches, cause neither does God. which is what this is all about really. God doesn’t allow those that are immoral to come into his kingdom. however, people can change because of God’s grace. it’s all about Jesus’ sacrafice. so, i know we’re going to lose alot the people that used to like this site, but i just feel God saying to go back to the roots of what we’re doing here, and right now, this is part of it. once again, thank you for your support and i pray God blesses you richly!

They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
-Acts 2:3-4 NIV

for our ?God is a consuming fire.?
-Hebrews 12:29 NIV

By day you led them with a pillar of cloud, and by night with a pillar of fire to give them light on the way they were to take.
-Nehemiah 9:12 NIV

In honor of the news host www.pyroturtle.com, we decided to give tribute to God lighting our path. And, in good tradition, threw in some humor to say thank you to those that help graphe arithmos out!

On a slightly more serious note, I do think that now of all times is a great time to get back to God and pray for him to light our paths. But not only to light our paths, but also to enable us to do things that we never thought possible. This is going to in some ways be the governing force behind graphe arithmos this time around. I thank you all for your prayers and support!
