“ The WORD Of GOD “

Listen to the WORDS of GOD to defeat this world of lie /

Keep an unfeigned faith to pass in GOD’s divine test /

Wait to receive HIS grace which asks not your race /

Focus on HIS will cause HIS way has no trick /

Follow the SON of GOD WHO is the eternal life /

Beware of the false teachers who are devil’s preachers /

Keep on going in GOD’s NAME WHO loved the world for HIS SON’s sake.

We are talking about the three ingredients for successful ministry.  They are being relevant, being relational and being reverent.  The last blog focused on the challenge of being relevant without compromising our being reverent.  Can we ever be too reverent towards the Lord?  Of course not!  In our best effort to revere Him we come way short.  So perhaps the third “R” in our three ingredients should be called “Religious”.  Now let me ask you, can we be too religious?  I would call being too religious being to “Churchy”.  I remember in the zeal of first being saved I adopted a full blown Christianeze language (I am not speaking about tongues).  “Praise the Lord this!”  “Hallelujah to that!”  “Glory to God!”  The zeal of a new Christian is often refreshing to other Christians cheering them on as they pass from death to life, but to the unbelievers, the unchurched and unsaved it is like nails on a chalkboard.  It usually does nothing to draw them in and often pushes them further away.  I was and often still am very religious in my talk. These days I try to be aware of who I am conversing with and be careful not add too much of this ingredient of Religion.  Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9:22-23 “I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23 Now this I do for the gospel’s sake…”  I do not believe Paul is saying that he took on the ways and language of the world.  I do believe He was saying that we should be aware of the lost folks around us and be careful not to push them away with our religion.  In today’s world we will push them away with religion.  They do not need religion; they need to know a relevant, relational and reverent Jesus. 

I will continue with the three ingredients in future blogs.

A TESTIMONY OF GOD’S GRACE

“16  That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18  May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19  And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 20  Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21  Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” (Eph 3:16-21 AV)

I hardly know where to begin telling of the riches of God’s love, which He has poured out on me this year. This story begins many years before I was born, continues through my childhood and now, in my 50’th year, ends in the beauty of knowing the Love of the Father.

My dad lost his parents before he was age 4. Though the relatives that raised him put a roof over his head and made sure he was taken care of, my Dad never knew the love of a father. He met my Mom at Goshen College and they were married in 1956, but of course having not known love, my Dad was not able to share love with his family. So I did not grow up with the knowledge of a father’s love, either. Dad loved me with what human love he could, but did not offer me emotional support, was threatened by my gifts and could not, ever, affirm me.

So I grew up with just about no self-confidence at all. Neither Mom nor Dad showed much interest in my education, my development, and my gifts. The result is that I went through school, graduated from college and started life on my own with no idea that I had anything at all to offer the world. Having not known unconditional love, all I could expect was rejection. Rejection was the stronghold that I born into, passed down from Dad, and the filter that distorted reality for the first 49 years of my walk here on Earth.

Raised in the church, I accepted Jesus to be my savior, but I was always limited in my walk with him. The LORD granted me revelation of His purposes and will, and in the spirit man I continued to grow, but there was always a block in the soul realm. My spirit knew a God that my soul could not experience. I wanted to believe in a compassionate Father, but I could not do so. Rejection was the sum total of my experience. So pervasive was this stronghold I would readily preach the unsearchable grace of the LORD to others, and believe that this message of love was for them, but that somehow, not for me. I stood outside the door of the temple, and invited many to come in and enjoy the riches of Christ, but did not think myself worthy to come in myself.

Futility marked my first 49 years. I desired the love of a woman, but no woman would look twice at a man so steeped in rejection. I wanted a house and a family to love, but ended up single and lonely. I could not receive the love of God, and my luck with getting the love of others was equally futile. But God, in his mercy, broke through this year, February 14, 2008. What happened?

Well, he allowed the devil to strike my eye with a cataract! Having had the enemy already smite my other eye 10 years before, I immediately discerned his work this time around (I was involved in a ministry that was challenging strongholds in Paia, HI both times. The devil is NOT always involved when we are afflicted, but I discerned that he clearly was in this case. Anyway, whether it was the devil or not, I believed he was responsible). The result was that I got more than just a little mad: Ok, devil, I shall fast! Now all I had in mind was getting my vision back, but God, in his mercy, had something else in mind.

Sunday, February 25, I sit in my chair. I have broken my fast at the Spirit’s direction, and am waiting. Suddenly words of affirmation came to me. I am loved, I am his son, I am precious in His sight. As I took a shower that morning, I began to repeat those words aloud, and all I could say was “Lord I am so sorry! I DID NOT AND COULD NOT BELIEVE”. And it was as if all of Heaven dropped down on my heart and I was ushered into the arms of the Father who loved me. The stronghold of rejection which had prevented me from experiencing God’s love, was utterly and totally smashed. My eye was not healed, but my heart was! So that which the enemy struck me turned out to be the greatest blessing I could ever have received. No praise suffices to bring Him enough glory. He really IS everything His Word says, saints!

I should say I thought this experience was a one-time thing, but as it turns out, He has been zapping me with His love ever since! I am no longer so naïve as to assume I have experienced anything but the very beginnings of the Kingdom of Love. He got me again on Resurrection Sunday; from the first worship song to reading the book “The Shack” (you MUST get this book, saints!) I was overwhelmed by His presence, His unconditional love the whole day.

This has been the most amazing year of my walk here on earth. Knowing God’s love has transformed my heart. That which I dreamed of before I knew His love now has been added to me as well, just as He promised. I may feel like giving up in my weariness, but I still hold on tight to my dream, as the song says.

The Word promises us -

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” (Ga 6:9 AV)

I must hold onto this, for right now I am about to faint. I have enough vision to change my community, but I have the strength to do no such thing. Isaiah prophecies that even the young man will grow faint, but “they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength . . . “

I wrote a little song a few years ago:

Hele mai O Jesu

          Come and dine with me

I am so weak and weary

          I am in need of Thee

Fill me with your Spirit

          That I might know your Love

Hele mai O Jesu

          Fill me from above

Hele mai O Spirit

          Come and fall on me

Come as a deep, wide Fountain

          Full of love for Thee!

Without Thee I am nothing

          With Thee I cannot fail

Hele mai O Spirit

          Come and break the veil!

I am transferring the old content onto the new blog.

Resurrection

Posted by manbooks on December 09th 2007 to Ecclesiology, Epistomology

A brother made the comment that there are two lessons for the Christian while walking here on Earth. The first thing we must learn is how to die, and then we must learn how to live. Before we knew Christ, our only orientation was our self-life, what the Bible calls flesh. Now most would associate “flesh” with open sins such as lust, greed and other “negatives”. But flesh is, in reality, anything that we do under our own power, and that includes such “positive” things as going to work, paying one’s bills, even going to church (the devil doesn’t mind folks going to church - but of the self denied life he is petrified). So all of this self power must be denied, the cross must be picked up, and we must learn not to trust ourselves for anything. This is the first lesson. But the second is revolutionary.

Now that we have forsaken self, and have learned not to trust our own strength, we are now able to live. But how? By the power of the resurrection.

“ and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:” (Eph 1:19-21 ASV)

So the very power which raised Christ from the dead lives in those of us who are born again! We don’t need to trust ourselves! We can access that mighty Life that is in us, and operate under His power.

Our Lord was bidden to come and heal his friend Lazurus, but when he heard he was sick, Jesus stayed where we was, till such time as Father would get the glory for the resurrection power that would raise him up. When Jesus came, Martha stated the obvious: Had you been here, Lord, my brother would not have died, yet even now, I know that whatever you ask, Father shall do for you . . . Your brother shall rise again . . . yes, I know, in the sweet bye and bye, at the end, not now, surely, you don’t mean now, do you Jesus? I am the resurrection and the Life, Martha, he who believes in me shall never die.

The enemy is unbelief, saints. When Jesus came to Bethany, He asked, “Where have you laid him?” In other words, “Where is your mountain, what blocks you from life, what is that circumstance that you just can’t overcome, no matter what you do?” And He bids us to “Roll away the stone.” Then we hear His voice calling our name, and we get up, and live.

This is that second lesson. Having forsaken trust in ourselves, we now trust Another for our life. There is a role for the believing heart in ministering this life to others. Dead is as dead does: Lazurus won’t be rolling that stone away any time soon. But we who believe can roll it away, and when he is called back to life, we can help him cut away the grave clothes of his previous life. Amen.

The Beatitudes

Posted by manbooks on October 20th 2007 to Sermon on the Mount

poor in spirit

Jesus said, “If anyone would enter the Kingdom of God, he must humble himself, become as a child”. The entry point to His Kingdom is poverty of spirit. I have written a short essay on the Beattitudes, which I post below:

¶ Blessed <3107> are the poor <4434> in spirit <4151>: for <3754> theirs <846> is <2076> (5748) the kingdom <932> of heaven <3772>.

Shalom to the helpless, the powerless, the needy, the simple minded, those who willingly acknowledge their utter dependence upon God for their very life, for only in them will the rule and reign of God be manifest.

Only those who humble themselves as a child may ever see this, which is no less than the rule and reign of God through their bodies. Paul writes that we are to “offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto God, which is our spiritual act of worship.” The picture of a helpless man, hands open, totally dependent upon the grace of others for his very life, is a powerful syllogism for the poor man Jesus is calling blessed. Until we reach that point in our walk with Christ that we acknowledge that without Him we simply will not survive, we shall not have known the riches of being poor in spirit. Without suffering, perhaps we shall never see this blessing.

4 Blessed <3107> are they that mourn <3996> (5723): for <3754> they <846> shall be comforted <3870> (5701).

Shalom to they that are consumed with grief so heavy that they can not hide the fact they are hurting, for they shall have one to walk beside, to console and to strengthen them.

Of course, who is He who walks beside but our true paraclete, the Holy Spirit? When our hearts are heavy and we can not imagine the thought of going another inch, Jesus says that we are blessed. Why? Because we will not walk this path alone, for the Spirit comes, the great Comforter, guides us, and the knowledge of his Presence makes all the grief and sorrow well worth the price we have paid.

5 Blessed <3107> are the meek <4239>: for <3754> they <846> shall inherit <2816> (5692) the earth <1093>.

Shalom to those who are gentle in spirit, who do not insist on their own justification, but who humbly lay that aside, knowing that their God has said, “Justice is mine, I will repay,” for their rightful inheritance is the earth itself.

Now the time will come when we may be dispossessed of all our earthly treasures, but no matter. That is only the short term, but the meek look for the long haul, to a God who is always just, whose books must balance, who will set every wrong right and make every lofty place plain. In the end we win, saints! We have read the book, and the good guys come out on top. Now with the temporal eyes we might see the haughty rewarded and the righteous broken, but whatever the injustice, we worship a God who will one day make it right. The righteous willingly accept all this, rejoicing when they are stripped of every temporal reality, for they will be repaid by a just Judge, who will reward them of the very earth that was unjustly taken from them!

6 Blessed <3107> are they which <3588> do hunger <3983> (5723) and <2532> thirst <1372> (5723) after righteousness <1343>: for <3754> they <846> shall be filled <5526> (5701).

Shalom to those who ardently crave and painfully feel need of and long for integrity, virtue, purity of life and correctness of thinking, for they shall eat their fill of these things and be fully satisfied.

And whose righteousness to the blessed seek? Certainly not their own, for if they had a righteousness of their own, they should have no reason to graze upon God’s pastures. But no, these have seen that their own righteousness is dung in the sight of a Holy God, and their craving is only for the good stuff. The saints know that that which proceeds “out from” themselves, which they could do of their own strength, has only the appearance of good, but none of the everlasting fruit. They have “ceased from their labor as He has ceased from His,” instead resting in the confidence that if they set themselves aside, and allow God to work in them “His good pleasure” that they will be found pleasing in His sight.

7 Blessed <3107> are the merciful <1655>: for <3754> they <846> shall obtain mercy <1653> (5701).

Shalom to those who help the afflicted and bring help to the wretched, for they themselves will be aided the very same way.

When we work in the broken world, we encounter those who have reaped what they have sown, but the saints take no joy in this, not the smallest bit of “I told you so” comes off of their lips. Yes, maybe the drug addict deserves a wasted body, or the prostitute her venereal disease, or the homosexual his aids, but we don’t even think of justice. Indeed, we know that we are not a whit different in the eyes of God, save for his work of redemption that we have entered into. Thus are our hearts full of compassion for these people, and we eagerly do what we can to help them get back on their feet, not worrying at all about how they might use us, for out from the abundance which we have received do we in turn give back. Some might trample on us, but others will experience mercy, total undeserved favor for the first time, and our joy will be made full.

8 Blessed <3107> are the pure <2513> in heart <2588>: for <3754> they <846> shall see <3700> (5695) God <2316>.

Shalom to those who are singular in their center, who long only for Him, for they shall indeed behold Him.

Indeed our brother Isaiah looked upon the Lord, then considered his fate, for he was “a man of unclean lips” but he had beheld the Ultimate Purity, true Perfection. But the angel took the coal from the altar, and made his lips pure, and his commission was forthcoming. Even so, we do not look to ourselves for purity, but, walking in the Spirit, by the Spirit, we put to death the misdeeds of the body. Thus we become in experience what we already are in Him: Pure.

9 Blessed <3107> are the peacemakers <1518>: for <3754> they <846> shall be called <2564> (5701) the children <5207> of God <2316>.

Shalom to those who spread Shalom, for they are God’s kids.

He Himself is our Peace, who has broken down the wall of division, and has made the two one. Wherever we go, He goes, and we present Him to a broken world, in need of reconciliation.

10 Blessed <3107> are they which are persecuted <1377> (5772) for <1752> righteousness’ sake <1343>: for <3754> theirs <846> is <2076> (5748) the kingdom <932> of heaven <3772>.

Shalom to those rejected and despised by the world, for in them the rule and reign of Jesus Christ is supreme.

We present His offer of Peace, but have no illusions. Most will judge us as fools, and some will take so much offense that they will strike out at us. But our eyes on not on some temporal reality, but upon the City of God itself. Thus we do not strike back, or look back, or demand justice, for it is ours already in Him.

Blessed <3107> are ye <2075> (5748), when <3752> men shall revile <3679> (5661) you <5209>, and <2532> persecute <1377> (5661) you, and <2532> shall say <2036> (5632) all manner <3956> of evil <4190> <4487> against <2596> you <5216> falsely <5574> (5730), for my sake <1752> <1700>.12 Rejoice <5463> (5720), and <2532> be exceeding glad <21> (5737): for <3754> great <4183> is your <5216> reward <3408> in <1722> heaven <3772>: for <1063> so <3779> persecuted they <1377> (5656) the prophets <4396> which <3588> were before <4253> you <5216>.

Shalom to the despised, persecuted and ill thought of, spoken falsely against for the sake of Him who is in them. They shall rejoice for their reward in Heaven is among the prophets, who are their fellow sufferers and brothers.

Every valley will be exalted, and every hill will be made low. We know this for He has said it. We do not look to the world for justice, but are secure in the knowledge of our reward, based not on our works, but in our participation in His finished work on the cross.

The Perfect Church

Posted by manbooks on October 20th 2007 to Ecclesiology

Jesus is LORD of his church

There are saints that just don’t “fit in” with traditional church structures. After I left the “four wall” church, my Mom was understandably concerned. In frustration, she just asked me, “all right, then, what would YOU consider the ‘perfect church’”, and thus was the article below written:

The Perfect Church

1. We acknowledge that Jesus Christ is truly the head, the Chief Shepherd, the Source of all that we are. He directs our meetings, inspires our testimonies, ministers to the sick, the lonely, the destitute and He alone is glorified among us. I Pet 2:25.

2. We meet in a home (Acts 20:20), and if there are too many we start a new group. Perhaps, as the Lord would direct, we might have fellowship in a larger setting with the other groups. But that larger meeting would never be the focus of who we are, rather a catalyst for the home meeting.

3. Our human leaders are so low key that a visitor might not even guess who they are. They do not “run the show”, but serve so as to allow the Lord to have his way among us. They do not receive any glory, and should any be directed in their direction, they are quick to respond as did John the Baptist, “Behold the Lamb of God.” That is to say, “seek Jesus, don’t seek me.” These leaders will gain nothing in the eyes of the world for having led the church. (Compare Acts 20:29-30, I Pet 5:1-4.)

4. We are accountable one to another. When one member is weak, we are all weak, and when one of us rejoices, we all rejoice. We are family. We love each other dearly. We would rather walk with our brother in his suffering than walk with the world in its joy. I Cor 12:26.

5. We have a vision for evangelism, but nothing like the world has ever seen. We are confident as we gather for teaching, for admonishing, for testimony and for prayer, that our lives will never be the same. The world will note of us, as they did the early disciples, that we have been with Jesus (Acts 4:13). When our parents, our bosses, our friends and others who have known us, see the change that has come over us, they will naturally want to know why. And thus our home groups will never be static, but always be bombarded with those lives we touch coming to see this Jesus who we know.

6. We present a Jesus who is alive, who right now wishes to interact with His church, to be intimate with her, and to delight in fellowship with her. He stands at the door and knocks, and those who would be intimate with Him will open, and invite Him in, and eat with Him. Rev 3:20, John 14:23.

7. We each know that apart from Him who is our Life, we are nothing at all. We acknowledge that we have been put to death with Christ, we have been buried with Him in baptism, and that we have been raised up with Him to a new life. Thus we never, ever, take ourselves too seriously, but rather allow Jesus to flow freely among us, ministering as He would, doing only the work that He sees His Father in Heaven doing. His life is our life, and this is all that we desire. John 8:28.

What is the message?

Posted by manbooks on October 20th 2007 to Epistomology

I am very excited to be here. I can’t wait to share one of my testimonies with all of you.

Back in 1977-1979 I had 4 miscarriages. I thought I’d never have children. Yet, I believed.

So, in 1978 I was told I was pregnant. I was very grateful. This pregnancy was surely a test of my faith.

Early on during my pregnancy, my baby’s head was down ready to be delivered. The only thing wrong?

She was not due until late in Feb. of 1979. During one of my visits to the Doctors’ office he had

4 colleages of his to come in and see this “circumstance”. I was 100 % e faced, and 3 cm dialted. They

Could actually see the baby’s head! I was told then, to go into the hospital. I was in the hospital for

3 weeks in the month of June. During which time my doctor put me on bed rest. I was admitted again

to the hospital for bleeding. This stay lasted the month of October. During which they were trying a

new medication for pre term labor patients. I was given an Alcoholic Drip. This ensured I was in

a “drunk” like state, same as baby. Other medications were used; such as one shot for me, to develop

her lungs if she were to be born early. I prayed constently to God. Praising him always. I had 2 more

long hospital stays before giving birth. What I didn’t know was about to happen. I had an I.V. and

in a great deal of pain. One nurse came in and administered Demerol in my I.V. All I can remember is

kind of a floating feeling. As I opened my eyes I could see myself in the bed, with the big nurse on top

of me pressing against my chest. Finally, I was walking along a path with woods on either side of me.

This path was dark because of the trees. I did see a very bright light near the end of the woods. I followed

the light. As I stepped into the light I heard a very big voice say, “Cindy!, Go back. It is not your time!”

I answered saying, “But, it is beautiful here.” “There is no pain, I feel so good, I don’t want to go back.”

The voice replied “Cindy! Your baby girl needs you, so go NOW!” Next thing I remember was me back in

the hospital in the corner of my room watching the nurses scramble for the crash cart! As fast as all

this took place, It felt an enternity for me. I was back in my body; shoving the nurse away, and taking

the oxygen off my face. Then, it occured to me. There was no way of knowing what the sex of the baby

was going to be. Where had I been? I had been talking to God! The rest of the time waiting for an ok

to deliver finally came. Amanda Gale was born into this world as I was beginning my 8th month of

pregnancy. Weighing in at 5lbs 4 ounces and 18 1/2 inches long! She was a miracle. Children are

miracles lent to us by God. We raise them up as we should, and then let them go out into the world.

My testimony always helps me get centered if things are not going along as “I’ want them to.

It is not when “I” want things to happen. I know now to “wait” in “God’s own timing”. He knows the when,

where, how, and why things happen the way they do to all of us!

Thanks for letting me share this!

“Attempt great things for God, Expect great things from God”

Hindi ako mahilig magsulat at magbasa pero para sa kapurihan at karangalan ni Hesus, gagawain ko ito ng buong puso na may pasasalamat sa Kanyang kabutihan at kadakilaan sa aking buhay.

-Arvin Alcantara Cunanan

Isang magandang araw sa iyo kaibigan! My name is Arvin Alcantara Cunanan. I live in Barangay San Pedro, Bustos, Bulacan. I’m 21 years old and I was born on April 5, 1987. My dad is Mr. Ruperto C. Cunanan Sr. and my mom is Mrs. Florida A. Cunanan. I grew up in a family with strong background in Catholicism. Most of my relatives are devoted Catholic members. In fact, I was a member of knights of the altar or what we called the “Sakristan” during my elementary days. Every Saturday and Sunday, I went to Sto. Nino Parish Church to served and helped the priest. I worship idols and other graven images. Ang paniniwala ko noon ay dapat talaga silang sambahin at luhuran but I’m wrong. I thank God kasi hindi Niya hinayaan na maging huli ang lahat para sa Akin. I don’t want to go to hell. Spending my eternal life in the Lake of Fire. I really thank God because He used my uncle Benie who is now the Pastor of Jesus Is Lord Church Milan Italy Chapter, to shared the Gospel to me and to my family.

Last year 2000, I and my family were converted into Born Again Christian. I praise God for the changes that happened in our lives. Changes in our beliefs and in our lifestyle. Now, my whole family is serving the Lord God Almighty. Thank God for sending His only son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross of Calvary. He paid the price for our sins. He redeemed us. He saved us from the wrath of God. Praise be to the living God.

2 Corinthians 5:17 “therefore, if anyone is in Christ, He is a new creation. The old has gone and the new has come.”

Recently, I have stumbled upon a website written by a woman who claims she is a prophet, or in her case, a prophetess, who has made many claims pertaining to The Rapture, (see below) and then she backs them up with an exhaustive scripture study, which seems quite convincing. As a Jesus Freak, I want to Believe, but I just don’t know. I am wondering if anyone else has heard of this woman and if she provides a substantive addition to the Body of Christ as a prophet should ? Or is she just plain dangerous & should be considered a “False Prophet” ? (example: On another of her pages she actually claims that Heaven is located on the planet Saturn, and then backs it all up with scripture!!!)

Read the rest of this entry »

Our old blogs are now open again, for 3 days only, to allow former bloggers the chance to recover their old content.

HISTORY:

As a God honoring site, we had to close the old blogs when they were overrun by porn and drug spammers, etc. The abuse was too rampant and concerted for us to overcome. And so we laid down our “web life” here as free Christian blog hosting providers in favor of purity and not giving the devil a foothold.

As you now know, we started a new blog with WORDPRESS standard version and a new WORDPRESS MU blog as well.

The blog you are reading now is our interim blog. It is easier to maintain as far as keeping spammers out - but the downside is that it does not allow each member to register their very own own blog name, or create and customize their own theme.

Going Forward, former blog owners have two basic options.

OPTION ONE - MOVE YOUR OLD CONTENT TO ANOTHER BLOG PROVIDER

Login to your old control panel, at the same web address you used to have for your old blog. In the control panel (SITE ADMIN) find a link for EXPORT or BACKUP. Save the resulting file to your computer. Later, you can upload this export to a fresh install of Wordpress, or another blog that can import a wordpress backup.

Any wordpress hosting provider will do, but some are better than others - faster, more reliable, won’t run objectionable ads on your blog… so do some research!

OPTION TWO - START OVER WITH NEW WORDPRESS MU TO PRESERVE YOUR OLD BLOG ADDRESS

We have installed a current version of Wordpress MU - the software that ran our old blogs. It is currently at www.e4God.com/freeblogs/

Once the dust settles, it will be changed to the same URL as before, so that you can keep your domain / URL / Web Address as before…

If you have lots of links out there pointing to your old blog, this would be a good solution.

If we gave you a week to backup - then closed the old blogs, it would shut down thousands of blog spammers. Once we launch the new installation, you could then upload your backup. The new installation would probably have a few dozen to a hundred or so of our best old blogs (instead of thousands of spam blogs) thus accomplishing our goal of purity.

The new site would be easier to maintain on a day to day basis, as far as eliminating spammers. We would not have to sort through 5000+ blogs nor look at all the smut to do it.

However, we must at the same time have a volunteer staff of moderators to prevent porn and drug site spammers from overrunning the new site.

Comments? Any volunteers?
