Tongues of Fire-Pastor Paul's Mission Episode 78 'The Birth of Christ'

The Birth of Jesus the Christ
Luke 2:1-20

1 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. 2This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city. 4Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, 5in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. 6While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth. 7And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

8In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. 9And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened.10But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; 11for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12“This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 13And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
14“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”
15When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, “Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us.” 16So they came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger. 17When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child. 18And all who heard it wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds. 19But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart. 20The shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.

Tongues of Fire-Pastor Paul's Podcast Episode 77 The Way of Your Come Mission

The Charge To Preach Sound Doctrine
2 Timothy 4:1-8

1I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: 2preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
6For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. 7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; 8in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.

Tongues of Fire-Pastor Paul's Podcast Episode 76 Are You Alone in the Dungeon?

Life In The Spirit
Romans 8:1-11

 1Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, 7because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, 8and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 10If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Tongues of Fire-Pastor Paul's Podcast Episode 75 The Way of Disciplined Time

A Time For Everything
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

1 There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven—
2 A time to give birth and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.
3 A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up.
4 A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance.
5 A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing.
6 A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away.
7 A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; A time to be silent and a time to speak.
8 A time to love and a time to hate; A time for war and a time for peace.

Preach the Word
2Timothy 4:1-5

I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: 2preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Tongues of Fire-Pastor Paul's Podcast Episode 73-Give Up Your Ways While on the Way

Christ the True Vine
John 15:1-5

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2“Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. 3“You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5“I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

Minnesota Voter Turnout 2008 Part 1

Get Out and Vote Today


Diverse Communities Make Minnesota
The Highest Voter Turnout in the Nation at 80%.

What started out as a Voter Registration Project at Pastor Paul's Mission will end with conversations at the Exit Polls a little more than a month later! The following day we will be all a buzz about the new President of the United States of America and I will be continuing to edit and post the finished films to Pastor Paul's Blog and YouTube.

You need to be sure to subscribe to both Pastor Paul's Blog and YouTube. I guarantee you will find the soon to be historic coverage more than interesting and many times entertaining. As my first assignment (to myself) as a freelance citizen journalist my impromptu style is similar to the famous cinematographer Ed Wood of one take and it's a wrap...'This is the one I will be remembered for'.

The limited editing is due in part to a learn as you go style of filming characteristic of everything in this project from interviews and conversations, to who, what, where and when the filming opportunity would present itself. Using the recently purchased Sony 60 GB HDD Handycam filming 8 hours of raw film footage was a breeze and the opportunity presented itself often. The editing using iMovie on the MacBook Pro is quite incredible and I never took a lesson!

The why of this series of films, probably 8 ten minute parts, will show the diverse communities, government officials, citizens, and everyday people who make Minnesota the state with the Highest Voter Turnout in the Nation. Minnesotans are hardworking, very progressive and involved in building strong communities. As you will see in the films we are educated minded especially when it comes to voting. I hope you will enjoy the films and learn something from the people of the North Country.

 Minnesota Voter Turnout 2008 Part 1 was filmed in Wabasha Minnesota on All Saint's Day, Saturday November 1, 2008, in part at the National Eagle Center where the AIMS.org St Paul Magnet School performed Lakota Indian ceremonial dances offering prayers for the dedication of the National Eagle Center and the City of Wabasha's Observation Decks. The Bald Eagle's significance is captured representing our National Symbol. Usually its replica is seen as a companion of the US flag which is hung in every polling place as millions of Americans cast their votes in this historic presidential election. Pastor Paul will be celebrating his 76th birthday on November 14th and having voted in numerous elections, he shares about the importance of voting from his perspective. He states that it is up to us, the citizens, to make the change and we can start by voting.

Tongues of Fire-Pastor Paul's Podcast Episode 72-There is Corn in Egypt

'Famine, Family and Futures'

Happy 'All Saint's Day' today, November 1, 2008, we are recognizing Joseph's example of brotherly love. Through dream interpretation, he became Egypt's visionary administrator. The message, 'There is Corn in Egypt', is a message for today though it was originally recorded December 7, 1984. It describes running out of everything in the natural so God can fill us up with the Spiritual.

It starts to turn ugly, hopeless, and grim with famine, envy and dreams. Then someone shouts, 'There Is Corn In Egypt'. By faith we know all things are working together for good.

Tongues of Fire-Pastor Paul's Podcast Episode 71-The Politician

'Get Ready, Get Set, Vote'

Happy Halloween! Today is Friday October 31, 2008, with the Scariest Podcast of all 'The Politician' originally recorded September 1989.

This is not a political race, however we are all politicians at times. The best public servant has the service of others foremost in mind. However, when we are concerned with maintaining control asking the question, 'What is in it for me?', we are not considering the best interests of the people we serve because we have our own interests in mind.
