Hey, just what everybody has been clamoring for, one more toolbar! It's not like there
aren't enough of these floating around out there but this one has some features that I
really liked. I have wanted to create one of these for quite a while but I couldn't find one
that had features that were worth the effort. This one not only has great features but it
also has some great
options. Listed below are some of the features that you will find on
the Free Chrsitian
Content.org toolbar.
E-Mail Notifier: Do you have Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail or a Pop3 address? You can set up this option to notify you when you have new mail in one or more of these accounts. Pop-up Blocker: That also clears your browsers, cache, history and cookies. Weather Forcast: Shows the current temp on the toolbar. Click on it for a 3 forecast with links for extended forecasts. Add or Remove Predefined Componenets: If you don't want to use some of the default components, simply turn them off. Add Windows Components: Add any of the windows components that you own to the toolbar. (Calculator, Word, Excel, Outlook, Notepad, PowerPoint, WMP, etc.) Search Bar: Search the web or Free Christian Content.org. Also,
search forums, blogs, dictionary, encyclopedia,
images, news. RSS Feeds: You don't know anything about RSS feeds? No problem. Click on an item of interest and the toolbar takes care of the rest! There are 28 Christian RSS feeds that I have loaded into the menu. Christian Radio: There is a Christian Radio with over 30 preloaded stations. If you like Christian Talk, the great station WNIV-Atlanta is what you are looking for. Contemporary? KTIS-St.
Paul. Want to add your own stations? Go ahead, it's easy to do. You can also add podcasts to the radio.

No matter how old or young, how rich or poor, how popular
or unpopular, how together or messed up, it is never too
late for you, too, to have a genuine encounter with God.
Your life can be changed. It matters not if you have become
entrenched in old habits and thought patterns. It really
doesn’t matter if you have been a believer in Christ for a
long time—your life can be changed so that it more and
more resembles the life of Christ.
Where is the Lord?
DB Reading: Jeremiah 1;
2;
3:1-5
My friend and I got up early one morning, hoping to see a beautiful sunrise. Darkness gradually gave way to
dawn, as the early morning sky was slowly lit. The sun, however, would not show itself through the thick
blanket of clouds that covered the horizon. "Where is the sun?" we asked.
The dark clouds matched our disposition that morning. Our dear friend had finally lost her long battle with
cancer. Why had she been required to endure such pain? Why did her children have to lose their mother?
Why did her husband have to lose his closest companion and raise their children alone? Why did she have
to die? Where was God?
Though deeply masked from our view, we could see evidence of the sun's presence in the sky. The trees
and fields brightened with color and the clouds displayed a mixture of shadows and glowing reflections as
the morning minutes faithfully ticked by. Determined to see the sun, we stubbornly waited for it to break
above the clouds.
Determined also to see God's goodness, we persistently prayed and studied God's word, stubbornly seeking
some kind of explanation or purpose. When we looked around for evidence of God's presence, it was clearly
there. Even so, the dark clouds of discouragement continued to obscure his love and purpose from our under-
standing. Was it wrong to question God's ways? Did God frown with displeasure when we cried out, "Where
are you, God?"
As we opened our Bibles to Jeremiah 2, we read the words of a God whose heart was broken. He fondly
reminisced of a time when his people, like a young bride, had loved and honored him. Though he had lavishly
loved and cared for them, they had turned away from him to chase after false gods and worthless idols. God
wondered what fault they had found in him, that they had strayed so far from him. Forsaken and forgotten,
he cried in despairing disbelief, "They did not ask, ‘Where is the Lord?’" (Jer 2:6, 8).
While my friend and I sat, wondering, "Where is the sun?" we knew that God also wanted us to ask, "Where
is the Lord?" He would rather have us honestly grapple with our faith than to angrily withdraw our
disillusioned hearts from him. As the sun began to peek through a few holes in the clouds that morning, God
whispered to our hearts, "See! Here I am!" Over the following months, as we wrestled with our pain and
doubt, he faithfully gave us glimpses of his love and purpose. When his plan was beyond our understanding,
he reminded us, "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my
thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:9).
When we finally saw the sun break above the clouds that morning, our hearts were filled with hope, that we
would eventually see God shining brightly and boldly into our lives, as in days past. Some of our questions will
never be answered on this earth, but we are learning to trust in the goodness of God, even when it is deeply
hidden behind our clouds of pain.
"Where is the Lord?" He is here, working deeply and gently within us, transforming our dark mistrust of his
"higher" ways into a radiant assurance of his faithful love.

Joe's wife likes to sing. She decided to join the church choir. From time to time
she would practice while she was in the kitchen preparing dinner. Whenever
she would start in on a song, Joe would head outside to the porch.
His wife, with hurt feelings, said, "What's the matter, Joe? Don't you like my
singing?"
Joe replied, "Honey, I love your singing, but I just want to make sure the
neighbors know I'm not beating you."

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality
is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.
The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted
on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative:
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal
from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone
tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22
clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and
how to follow them.
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness - Lev 15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev 1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?
7. Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev 24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? Lev 20:14
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable
expertise in such
matters, so I'm confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is
eternal and unchanging.
