             The Bible - God's Instruction Manual
                    (Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth)

The Bible - God's Holy Word
 
Just as the original manufacturer of a car provides us detailed information and
maintenance schedules for maximum performance of that car, our Creator God
has given everyone detailed instructions in the Bible to guide us on how to live
on earth. The Bible is our Guide Book to read and refer to continually.
 
 
1 John 2:1-2   My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But
if anybody does sin, we have the one who speaks to the father in our defense -
Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and
not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
 
 
The Bible - Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth.


Psalm 91:4 - He Will Cover You With His Feathers...

Psalm 91: 4 - 11 -- He (Jesus) will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

If you make the Most High your dwelling - even the Lord, who is my refuge - then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways . . .

Statement Read Over PA System HS Football Game
 
On Sept. 1, 2000 - this statement was read over the PA system at the football game at Roane County High School in Kingston, Tennessee by school Principal, Jody McLeod.
 
“It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country.”
 
Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law.
 
As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it “an alternate lifestyle,” and if someone is offended, that’s OK.
 
I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and calling it, “safe sex.” If someone is offended, that’s OK.
 
I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn baby as a “viable means of birth control.” If someone is offended, no problem…
 
I can designate a school day as “Earth Day” and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise the goddess “Mother Earth” and call it “ecology.”
 
I can use literature, videos and presentations in the classroom that depicts people with strong, traditional Christian convictions as “simple minded” and “ignorant” and call it “enlightenment.”
 
However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to ask HIM to Bless this event with safety and good sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated.
 
This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical. Apparently, we are to be tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD and HIS Commandments.
 
Nevertheless, as a school principal, I frequently ask staff and students to abide by rules with which they do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at best, and at worst, hypocritical.
 
I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an intentional transgression.
 
For this reason, I shall “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s,” and refrain from praying at this time.
 
“However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD and ask HIM, in the name of JESUS, to Bless this event, please feel free to do so. As far as I know, that’s not against the law—-yet.”
 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
One by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands with one another and began to pray.
 
They prayed in the stands. They prayed in the team huddles. They also prayed at the concession stand and they prayed in the Announcer’s Box!
 
The only place they didn’t pray was in the Supreme Court of the United States of America – the Seat of “Justice” in the “one nation, under GOD.”
 
Somehow, Kingston, Tennessee remembered what so many have forgotten. We are given the Freedom OF Religion, not the Freedom FROM Religion. Praise GOD that HIS remnant remains!
 
JESUS said, “If you are ashamed of ME before men, then I will be ashamed of you before MY FATHER.
 
Note: Principal McCloud's speech was also read into The Congressional Record on the floor of The U.S. Congrsss on Sept. 20, 2000 by Rep. Zach Wamp of Tennessee.

We Would Like To Thank Randy Aldred and Todd & Joellen Andree for your many hours of time in organizing and working at Jesus Fest to help make Jesus Fest A Great Success.

The Purpose Of Jesus Fest Is Always:

1) To Proclaim That Jesus Christ Is Lord And Savior To Our Local Community.

2) To Celebrate Jesus' Love For Us And Worship Him Publicly.

3)
To promote unity and fellowship among the local Bible-preaching churches of Southern Ocean County according to Psalm 133:1.

Jesus Fest Continues To Grow Bigger And Better Each Year !

One year the theme was Jonah And The Whale.
It featured many activities, puppet shows, music, dramas and more on the timeless lesson that Jonah learned - to carry the Lord's message to those who do not know of His wonderful plan of salvation! Live praise bands from the local churches (awesome worship and praise!) playing all day on the main stage. The Unity Choir, made up of members of many local churches, blessed us again.

The Kids Area featured A Giant 70 ft Inflatable Whale, pony rides and a "Walk & Witness" through the "town of Nineveh" with interactive puppets to represent the town's people that need the Lord. We had Jonah and the Whale puppet shows throughout the day. As always, we had Simon Peter's Fishing Hole and face-painting with prizes. All the kids had a super time while they learned about Jonah!

Our speaker on the main stage was Joanne Sheptock - mother of 37 children (90% adopted).

The Youth (teen) area had their own stage with live contemporary music all day. Pro Street Skater Danny And His Team were at the Youth area performing awesome skate stunts!

Back by popular demand this year, we had THE MAZE - a giant 40x40ft enclosed maze in total darkness... with many multimedia surprizes along the way! Over 1,250 young people went through THE MAZE at Jesus Fest this year! Its purpose is to be an evangelistic outreach to teens.

Many teens said that THE MAZE was very challenging and effective in its pupose. We were blessed to having The Maze back at Jesus Fest. More information on The Maze is at
www.mazeoutreach.org        

As always, the churches cooked up all our favorite foods at very reasonable prices. Proceeds benefit the youth groups' and churches missionary projects.

The United For Jesus T-shirts were a hot item and over 800 T-shirts were sold. After expenses, proceeds from the shirts sales and event advertising always go to the local ministries that the CCSOC sponsors that year.

Our recipients are: America's Keswick, The Alliance Defense Fund, and Christian radio station WYRS 90.7 FM. Thanks again to all of you, the local businesses and people who supported Jesus Fest.

www.HCBible.org

Harvey Cedars LBI Bible Conference has Conferences & Retreats for Groups as well as individuals.

The History Of Harvey Cedars Bible Conference written in "Eighteen Miles Of History On Long Beach Island" by John Bailey Lloyd is as follows: 

The old LBI hotel was vacant once more, but this time it was in terrible condition, having been vandalized repeatedly. Then one summer on the eve of WW II, a young evangelist named Jack Murray and his friend Bill Ritchie saw the old LBI hotel while they were fishing. Intrigued by the building, they went in and decided then and there that it would make an ideal "Religious Retreat" for young people. They located its owner, Mabel Bayard, in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, offered all they could afford to raise, $7,500, and it was accepted.

It took an incredible amount of hard work to restore the old LBI hotel, but with lots of help they did it, and Harvey Cedars Bible Conference opened in 1941. As the last of the great 19th century LBI hotels on Long Beach Island, The Harvey Cedars Bible Conference Is In Better Condition Now than it was a 100 years ago.

B) Maris Stella Retreat & Conference Center

Long Beach Boulevard
Harvey Cedars, NJ 08008
609-494-1182

Article By Maria Scandale mariascandale@thesandpaper.net 

A Long Beach Island seaside retreat is celebrating 50 years as a haven for the body, mind and spirit.
Maris Stella Retreat and Conference Center in Harvey Cedars began in 1959 as a secluded vacation place for the Sisters of Charity of St. Elizabeth, but evolved from private use into a ministry sponsored by the sisters.

The bay-to-ocean property has become a place of “enrichment and reflection” for a wide range of religious, ecumenical, parish and support groups.

The Sisters of Charity of St. Elizabeth observed their 50th anniversary of the center.
There’s much to celebrate, including a conference center built in 2006 to accommodate groups year ’round. The geothermal, solar-powered center is one example of the grounds’ green innovations that speak of the sisters’ commitment to reverence and care for the Earth.

“In renovating the chapel and constructing the conference center from scratch, most of the materials used were either recycled or taken from renewable sources,” said Sr. Thomas Mary Salerno, administrator at Maris Stella. “For instance, the bamboo flooring in the chapel and the cork flooring in the conference center both come from sustainable resources, as both plants regenerate themselves over time.”

Installing the geothermal and solar-powered systems “initially was expensive, but now we’re realizing savings in our electricity bills,” said Salerno. “It’s beginning to be substantial.”

Approximately 250 guests are expected to attend the daylong celebratory program of the 50th anniversary. It will include displays and memorabilia of the “early days,” a narrative history with highlights of events and happenings during the past 50 years; talk about the geothermal features of the conference center; guided tours of the houses on the property; and a festive picnic lunch under tents on the front lawn.

The day’s activities will conclude with a Mass of Thanksgiving in the newly renovated chapel at 4 p.m.
“We are delighted to have so many Sisters of Charity and friends of Maris Stella joining us to celebrate 50 years of ministry in this special sacred space,” said Salerno.

"
Maris Stella is a center that provides a ministry of hospitality offering space to individuals and groups seeking physical, psychological and spiritual enrichment. It is also a place for study and reflection on the sacredness of creation,” she summed up.
“To that end, we provide opportunities for private, directed, guided and preached retreats as well as education programs on the environment and the arts".

Many Groups
Share the Center. Frederick Small, long-ago president of American Express, originally owned the 10 acres where the retreat center stands. The compound had been built in the 1920s. Small was an avid gardener as well as a stamp collector, according to a history compiled by Salerno. In a bayside garden fenced in with glass, he grew gladiolas that were admired by many other Island residents.

In 1959, Mother Ellen Marie McCauley, the general superior of the Sisters of Charity, learned that Small was interested in selling the property and saw this as a great opportunity to buy the land as a vacation spot for the order. At that time there were very few places the sisters could go to for vacations. And so during the 1960s and ’70s, that’s what the retreat was used for.

Two of the compound’s houses on the oceanfront, as well as the bulkhead, didn’t escape the great March nor’easter of 1962. With constant renovations over the years, there are now accommodations for 75 people among all the houses on the property. As time went on, Maris Stella welcomed women’s religious orders from other congregations to join them for retreats. Next, high school students and self-help support groups were hosted for retreat weekends.

It wasn’t until 2002 that Maris Stella remained open all year. Another milestone came in 2003 when, through the efforts of the administrator and the cooperation of the borough, Maris Stella was declared tax-free. “This was a happy day for the Sisters of Charity,” said Salerno.
The conference center came about due to the increasing number of retreatants and other groups using Maris Stella.

“Many diverse groups come to Maris Stella for a sacred space for reflection and prayer,” said Salerno.
Those groups include college students from Villanova, Seton Hall and others; faculties of universities, multi-denominational church-affiliated groups, diocesan groups and others. Recently members of the Jewish community chose the Maris Stella boardwalk for their ceremony in which they cast bread to the waters. Adult support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous and women writers use the retreat center as a meeting place.

To ensure the growth of the environmental programs held at Maris Stella, the center has become a member of the American Littoral Society, Clean Ocean Action and Alliance for a Living Ocean. Maris Stella has been a setting where elementary and secondary school students have learned about pollution, global warming and becoming stewards of the shore. Younger children have seined in the bay.

The sisters encourage others to see the web site at:
www.marisstella.org  for more information on the retreat calendar or using the center.

15) Christian Radio Stations

When in the Long Beach Island, NJ area there are 2 Christian Radio Stations that you can hear in the LBI area.


* WYRS 90.7 FM - has Great National Religious Programs as well as local LBI area pastors. WYRS is an all volunteer 24 hour a day radio station and receives no state or federal funding.

* Reach 88.3 FM Christian Radio Network plays Christian Music, but Reach FM 88.3 is not all about music. They definitely let you know they are about more than Christian Music and their "Outreach Programs" to bring people to Jesus Christ are extremely important.

One of these "Outreach Programs" involves setting up 100 - 6 ft. crosses (on a platform) on the toughest street corners in Chester, PA and Philadelphia, PA where actual murders take place. These are some of the toughest street corners in the United States.

Reach FM 88.3 sends teams of people to do remote broadcasts from these street corners and announce loudly in the neighborhoods to come and get Free Food and T-Shirts. Many people while at the cross accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, and many more people in the neighborhoods are seen with their heads bowed and praying.

We need many more of these Christain Programs in the United States To Bring People Back To GOD.  If you would like to donate to fund these types of Reach FM 88.3 Christian Programs, please call 800-220-8078.  Thank You !

You get to meet and fellowship with people from all over the world who love Jesus. There are many activities, games, music and speakers, but you can also just enjoy fellowshipping with friends at your campsite and sitting around a campfire. For more information visit

Jason Jamison (drummer Tenth Avenue North) About Creation

Creation started, for me, when I attended my first Creation Festival at two years of age. I have been to Creation 23 out of 30 years of my life. Some of the best times were when I was a teen and began to realize that Creation was about music, God and worship. Creation was instrumental to me becoming involved in Christian music.

The moments that really stick out in my mind are the times of worship, and, for me, that sums up Creation quite a bit. That’s one of the reasons I now enjoy playing at Creation. I know they have an emphasis on worship and not just entertainment. It’s not just about jumping up and down but about worshiping our Creator; just like the banner says it is, “A Tribute To Our Creator.”

The first Creation I missed was because I was out touring with “Tenth Avenue North.” We toured for about six years and then we got word that there was a possibility of us playing at Creation! I remember, like, geeking out! I was so excited. I couldn’t understand how this could happen; from standing in a crowd, looking up on stage to now being on stage at Creation. Now the person on stage might be me! It was just kind of a weird moment.

I was so nervous the first year we played and all my family was out front cheering. We played about 10am in the morning. About mid-set, a huge gust of wind came through and a water-filled tarp came down on my drums and me. Kind of funny, just when you think it is all about you, God humbles you and wakes you up that this is not about me – it’s about Him.

As we have played Creation, being back stage and meeting Pastor Harry Thomas and the staff of Creation and the faces I have known, I have had the chance to get to know their heart behind why they do the festival. They really want to focus in on people meeting with God. As 10th Avenue North continues to come back to Creation we are hopeful that we contribute to that goal.

We are excited to be back at Creation in 2012, and to be part of a festival that was so huge in my childhood and teenage life, and to come back and hopefully give back to a festival that gave so much to me as a young person.

We want to get people excited and play our music, but we want to leave the stage knowing people have met God and have been changed by His presence. That’s our goal when we play at Creation.
