      <title>God Sends Us a Message Right Under Our Skin</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">New science discovery proves the existence of God within human’s genetic code.</p><p>Sierra Vista, AZ -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 04/07/2014 --  Talk about existence of God has always been an argument between scientists and religious scholars. However, recent scientific findings may end the rift between two fields of studies and for the first time work hand in hand to uncover the truth of human origin and God&apos;s participation in our conception. <br />
<br />
A team of top geneticist from Harvard University discovered a 22-word snippet of ancient Aramaic language in which God confirms his existence and his very role in the creation of life. This was uncovered when the team noticed a strange mathematical patterns appearing in unexplored section of non-coding human <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="DNA" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA">DNA</a>.  <br />
<br />
Decoding the Message<br />
"We knew the patterns weren&apos;t naturally occurring," explains Charles Watson, the lead scientist on the project, "but we couldn&apos;t come up with any convincing explanation for them.  "On a whim, we started cross referencing the patterns with language databases," he explains, "and we were shocked to find that the patterns corresponded to ancient Aramaic." Surprised by their discovery, the team consulted a group of language experts who are familiar with ancient <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Aramaic" href="http://www.amazon.com/Basics-Biblical-Aramaic-Complete-Annotated/dp/0310493919?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1396789174&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=aramaic&amp;tag=webtoolandtec-20">Aramaic</a>, the language <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Jesus Christ" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMzgH9pPsc0">Jesus Christ</a> spoke in Judeo-Christian time.<br />
<br />
The message reads, "Hello my children. This is Yahweh, the one true Lord. You have found creation&apos;s secret. Now share it peacefully with the world."  The astounding discovery speaks the verifiable proof of God&apos;s presence and his part in creation of humankind.<br />
<br />
Irrefutable Evidence <br />
The discovery of the double-helix structure of human DNA molecule opened the gates for further genetic studies. As scientists began to decode DNA information, more than half a century after its initial discovery, they found something quite startling, an exquisite language composed of 3 billion genetic letters. Dr. Stephen Meyer, Director of the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle, Washington explained that DNA stores information and detailed instructions for assembling proteins in the form of four-character digital code. <br />
<br />
The DNA in each of human cells is far more complex and rarely malfunctions. To suggest that DNA spontaneously generated is not reliable as it can be calculated mathematically using Switching Theory, that the chance of one DNA molecule occurring randomly is one chance in 1053. It would be written as ten with fifty-two zeros after it. The scientific community discounts any chance greater than one chance in 1050. To sum up, DNA could not possibly have evolved by spontaneous generation and generating the decoded message could not have been a genetic error. <br />
<br />
Because of this event, more <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Christianity churches" href="http://newhopesv.com/">Christianity churches</a> have become more open in discussing the creation of mankind in scientific perspective. It is strong evidence that shows both studies can co-exist in pursuing greater knowledge of our racial origin and the universe. <br />

      <title>ECFA Reveals Call to Refine Church Strategies in Inspiring Biblical Generosity</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">A recent survey points out the need to revamp church strategies</p><p>Sierra Vista, AZ -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 03/06/2014 --  People&apos;s desire for belongingness has been coexistent with man&apos;s other desires. There is always a constant need for people to have a sense of belonging, to have mutually supportive relationships and maintain these. Belongingness greatly affects a person&apos;s overall happiness, health and perception of life&apos;s meaning. Relationships can either make or break a person – supportive ones uphold an individual and help lessen the impact of stressful events, thus promoting well-being and high adaptability. One can easily find such relationships among <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Christian" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWKtvhfu6e4">Christian</a> churches.<br />
<br />
However, most churches lack a written core value for inspiring people in biblical generosity, according to a survey conducted by Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA). The first annual <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Church" href="http://www.amazon.com/Church-Zero-Raising-Century-Churches/dp/1434704939">Church</a> Stewardship Survey discovered that more than two-thirds of churches have no written biblical generosity strategy. <br />
<br />
Dan Busby, president of ECFA, pointed out that "the survey findings should trigger thoughtful discussions among <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="pastors" href="http://www.amazon.com/Pastors-Classics-Timeless-Ministry-Literature/dp/0801071976">pastors</a>, stewardship pastors, senior staff, church boards and elders." He further stated that there is a need to strengthen church leaders to review stewardship and generosity trends and practices in other churches. The leaders can then set their own priorities for accelerating effectiveness, he added.<br />
<br />
The survey revealed that spiritual complacency ranked as the greatest obstacle to increased giving. The church leaders who participated in the survey were requested to rank the top five areas which prove to be hindrances to increase giving. Over 48 percent of them classified "spiritual complacency among members/attendees as the top obstacle. Current economic environment had the most Top 5 votes.<br />
<br />
Busby stated that, "church leaders are extremely satisfied with how they manage financial resources." They are less satisfied with how they motivated people for funding the ministry, he discussed. He also indicated that the survey is one of the many avenues ECFA continues to pursue in order to help establish stewardship resources for churches.<br />
<br />
The study singled out a part of leading churches which accomplished increased giving in 2013. These churches belonged to the top 25 percent of per-attendee giving among the respondents. These are the attributes common among the leading churches:<br />
<br />
1. Per-attendee giving is 74 percent higher than other churches.<br />
<br />
2. Budgets are set about 10 percent below their giving levels, which suggest fiscal conservatism; while other churches set their budgets one percent below their giving levels, which prompts small bugger.<br />
<br />
3. Giving channels, kiosk giving, text-based giving and face-to-face/personal visits about giving were more likely used.<br />
<br />
4. Personal thank you notes were sent as part of intentionally thanking givers. Givers were also called to express appreciation. Leading churches also disciple and captivate givers with meaningful gifts.<br />
<br />
Busby concluded that as ECFA evaluate best practices and trends, church leaders can then "better discern how to raise Kingdom resources in God-honoring ways."<br />
