Q&A: Christian premarital counseling for long distant couple.?
Question by jennbeavers18: Christian premarital counseling for long distant couple.?
I am recently engaged to my fiance. He lives in Scotland, UK (where we met and have been dating) After being engaged I had to go back to the United States due to visa restrictions. I am not able to go back until a few months before the wedding. I am really passionate about wanting to somehow go through premarital counseling with my Fiance. Even more so it NEEDS to be a Christian counseling session.
Does anyone have any ideas on what my Fiance and I could do to work around this? I have searched online, and there are a lot of regular premarital counseling online suggestions but nothing to do with being Christian. I have seen a few books which I would be open to. But you can never be too sure what is good and what is not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Q&A: Would you tend to agree/TWISTED LOGIC – POOR OLD MUSLIMS – THEY GET INSULTED – WE GET BEHEADED?
Question by bite-me: Would you tend to agree/TWISTED LOGIC – POOR OLD MUSLIMS – THEY GET INSULTED – WE GET BEHEADED?
The Pope says that jihad violence is against God’s nature, and officials fear that in response, Muslims enraged by this insult will commit… jihad violence.
Muslims murder 3,000 innocents in New York and expect no criticism.
Muslims murder 202 tourists in Bali and expect no criticism.
Muslims murder 333 schoolchildren and their teachers in Beslan and expect no criticism.
Muslims murder 292 innocents, mainly Kenyans and Tanzanians at two US Embassies and expect no criticism.
Muslims murder 241 US and 58 French peacekeepers in Beirut and expect no criticism.
Muslims fire 4,000 Katyusha rockets into Northern Israel killing over 50 innocent civilians and expect no criticism.
Muslims murder 52 in London and 191 in Madrid and expect no criticism.
Muslims murder 200 in Mumbai and expect no criticism.
Muslims behead Western hostages in Iraq, Buddhist monks in Thailand and Christian schoolgirls in Indonesia and expect no criticism.
Muslims murder 500,000 in Darfur and expect no criticism.
Muslims regard Jews as ’sons of pigs and monkeys’, and vow to nuke Israel and expect no criticism.
Muslims force women to wear hideous sacks, stone to death women for getting raped and for leaving the home unescorted, engage in honor killings of sisters and daughters for unapproved dating, and expect no criticism.
Muslims danced in the streets and handed out sweets to their kids to celebrate the 9/11 atrocity, and still expected no criticism.
Since 9/11 Muslims have killed over 26,000 and wounded over 50,000 in terrorist attacks worldwide since 9/11 and expect no criticism.
Since 9/11 Muslims have committed terrorist attacks in Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Chad, Chechnya, Dagestan, Denmark, East Timor, Egypt, England, Eritrea, Ethiopia, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Ingushetia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Jordan-Iraq, Kabardino-Balkans, Kenya, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, Netherlands, Nigeria, Pakistan, Gaza-Palestinian Authority, Philippines, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Somalia, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Arab Republic, United States, Uzbekistan and Yemen, and still expect no criticism.
Muslims have carried out over 5,800 fatal terrorist atrocities since 9/11, and countless thousands since Islamic conquest began in 623 AD and expect no criticism. But if a Pope dares to tell the truth about Islam or Danes publish cartoons about Mohammed, then let the outpourings of Islamic hate and outrage begin.
And, by some twisted reach of logic, the arrogant bastards demand the Pope issue an apology.

Debut Novel Uses Scotland as Backdrop for Sweeping Romance
Debut Novel Uses Scotland as Backdrop for Sweeping Romance
Longwood, FL (PRWEB) March 28, 2008
The summer of 2008 changed Edwina Emily Blair’s life completely. A small town librarian, she loved her predictable lifestyle. But her European-born stepsister Cecelia had other plans. As the two of them were about to board a plane for Scotland, Cecelia was suddenly called away to Italy. Edwina found herself alone in Edinburgh, tired, hungry, and very late. When the hotel clerk told her that she no longer had a room, she fainted–right into the arms of a tall Scot standing behind her. Anxious to meet his fiancé, Alex Dunnegin whisked Edwina off to his castle and that’s when the trouble began. The handsome laird soon became the hero for the novel Edwina was writing, but she would find out that the stubborn Scot did not always play the part she wrote for him.
In Patty Ann Strefling’s first published book, Edwina (paperback, 978-1-60477-871-1), the author says she hopes “readers will understand that others see us differently than we see ourselves and because they do, we find our place in this world. For those who doubt their value, read Edwina.”
Strefling’s grandmother, a southern farmer’s wife, became the spark of light in her simple, quiet existence when she told her stories. As a child, the author listened to stories about her grandmother’s life that would stay with her. With her penchant for Irish stories, she began what was to become Strefling’s own desire–to tell stories–and left behind a rich legacy of storytelling that Edwina seeks to continue.
Xulon Press (http://xulonpress.com), a part of Salem Communications Corporation, is the world’s largest Christian publisher, with more than 5,000 titles published to date. Retailers may order Edwina through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors. Salem Communications is the country’s leading Christian communications company with interests in radio, Internet, and magazine publishing.

After Years of Fighting “War on Terror,” Author Tells Her Story
After Years of Fighting “War on Terror,” Author Tells Her Story
Longwood, FL (PRWEB) August 31, 2008
Ever since the terrorist attack of 9/11, the words “war on terror” have become firmly embedded in the global consciousness. Are we to fall victim to bitterness and fear, or do we respond the way Christ would respond in sacrificial love? These are the questions everyone must answer, especially in light of recent news reports that who terrorist attacks are only getting worse.
In Lisa R. Gibson’s new release from Christian self-publisher Xulon Press, Life in Death: A Journey from Terrorism to Triumph (paperback, 978-1-60647-564-5), the author tells the heart-wrenching story of the loss of her brother in the 1988 terrorist bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, and how her faith has allowed her to overcome that act of evil for good by serving the country. This book offers hope and encouragement for those struggling with fear and inspires faith to propel everyone to engage in this strategic battle.
Says Gibson, “My hope is through my story that others will learn how to engage in the war on terror from a biblical perspective as well as find encouragement and wisdom to overcome their tragedies and become conduits of God s healing grace and power to others even the people responsible for their loss.”
After losing her brother in the 1988 terrorist bombing, Gibson spent almost 20 years engaging in the war on terrorism. As a result, she has seen the power and restoration that comes from seeing true justice, forgiveness, and reconciliation in cases such as these. Now she is armed with a mission to impact society by addressing the root issues that result in human rights abuses, such as injustice, oppression, and terrorism around the world.
Xulon Press, a part of Salem Communications Corporation, is the world’s largest Christian publisher, with more than 5,000 titles published to date. Retailers may order Life in Death through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors. Salem Communications is the country’s leading Christian communications company with interests in radio, Internet, and magazine publishing.

New Metal Band BLISSED RELEASES WORLDWIDE WAKING UP THE DEAD On KR RECORDS
New Metal Band ÂBLISSEDÂ RELEASES WORLDWIDE
ÂWAKING UP THE DEADÂ On KR RECORDS
(PRWEB) August 4, 2004
BLISSED is a ‘rip your face off’ current hard rock band featuring Robert Sweet (drums /Stryper fame), David Pearson (vocals), Trevor Barr (Guitar, Vocals) and Jeff Miller (Bass, Vocals).
BLISSED has recently released their debut Recording titled ‘Waking Up The Dead on Indy label KR Records. Not to be confused with Robert Sweets prior career with famed Christian Metal band Stryper, BLISSED is just straight forward Metal. According to Sweet, Âit’s been quite a while since I’ve felt this good about a group effort musically, and this feels great. If you weren’t into STRYPER you’ll like this, and if you were into STRYPER, you’ll like it all the more. I’m extremely into what is heavy and this is heavy. BLISSED is a different version of what I do as we are worded differently than STRYPER. We are a rock band that happens to have members that are Christian.Â
BLISSED has just returned from the bands first trip overseas. This tour was a complete success. BLISSED played to audiences in Europe with explosive live performances. The tour included Belgium, France then into the UK for more dates in England and Scotland. After two more shows in Glasgow and Edinburgh the band finished up the tour at the infamous Garage in London.
The promoter for their concerts was so impressed that he had the band do another concert in the Netherlands playing to an audience of 4000, headlining a group of five bands. All in attendance are now loyal BLISSED fans.

Film on Christian Zionism “With God On Our Side” to Tour the UK & Ireland November 8 – 13, 2010
Film on Christian Zionism “With God On Our Side” to Tour the UK & Ireland November 8 – 13, 2010
Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) November 4, 2010
After a successful U.S. Tour in which the film was screened at various Universities and Churches throughout the United States, including Pepperdine University, Point Loma Nazarene University, California Baptist and others, the film tour of “With God On Our Side” now moves to the United Kingdom and Ireland, which will include stops at the Holyrood – Scottish Parliament and Northern Ireland Assembly.
Porter Speakman, Jr. (Director / Producer) and Rev. Stephen Sizer (Author “Zion’s Christians Soldiers”) will be at each event and there will be a time for Q & A and discussion after each screening. On November 13, 2010 Ben White, author of “Israeli Apartheid: A Beginner’s Guide” will join Speakman and Sizer at Cambridge University.
Synopsis:
“With God On Our Side” takes a look at the theology of Christian Zionism, which teaches that because the Jews are God’s chosen people, they have a divine right to the land of Israel. Aspects of this belief system lead some Christians in the West to give uncritical support to Israeli government policies, even those that privilege Jews at the expense of Palestinians, leading to great suffering among Muslim and Christian Palestinians alike and threatening Israel’s security as a whole.
This film demonstrates that there is a biblical alternative for Christians who want to love and support the people of Israel, a theology that doesn’t favor one people group over another but instead promotes peace and reconciliation for both Jews and Palestinians.
UK & Ireland Tour Dates:
Manchester, England
November 8, 2010
Nazarene Theological College – 7:00 PM

What people are saying about “With God On Our Side”:
“The first obvious challenge of ‘With God On Our Side’ was articulating a perspective on the Middle East debate anchored in history and sound theology. Porter Speakman has not only met that test, but also delivered one of the clearest assessments of the struggle between Palestinians and Jews, and a US Church largely unaware of their complicity in the current conflict. Speakman’s second more ominous challenge will be obtaining an audience, often steeped with established notions, open to wrestling with the film’s content. The hope of an ongoing Christian presence in the Holy Land may depend on the success of his message… I dare anyone to see this film and remain unchanged.” — Steven W. Haas – Vice President/Chief Catalyst – World Vision United States
“This film is informative, it’s inspiring, it’s challenging and it summarizes in brilliant fashion, what the problem is and what needs to change in order to solve the problem. I don’t know of anything quite like it – and I would have to say the church desperately needs it.” — Tony Campolo
4 Stars. “Christian Zionism is officially on notice…” Christianity Today, July 2010
