The Lord provided me with a present today... A greek new testament. It came wrapped in purple construction paper, and pocket-sized. It opened nicely, with German and latin and some weird language, and English... An introduction to the greek new testament written by Eberhard Nestle's son. Then, it dove right in. I turned the pages to the light as I read the first few Greek words of the Book of Matthew, and then turned to the Gospel of John. It was turned to 2nd Thessalonians by the ribbon by default. Could this be real? It has a lot of symbols and o's and stops, like my old false, heretical, Companion Bible. But could that just be a knock-off of the real thing, this? The Greek text of the scriptures? It didn't say the Gospel of John, it said KATA IOANNHN, Greek for I dunno. Gospel John? En arche ane ho logos, kai ho logos ane pros ton theon, chi theos ane ho logos. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with {ton theon}, and God was the Word. ? Sounds kind of strange how it is worded. But I know that the Lord Jesus Christ is my shepherd, and my redeemer. And I must depart from evil, and He wont hold His truth from my ears. Cheers!

 Chuck Norris writes columns for this publication here: http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52567" title="http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52567" target="_blank"http://wnd.com/news/article.a..., and this is one of the articles that Chuck Norris has written himself. Read it!

There are more than 50,000 jokes making their way around the Internet that purport to be "facts" all playing off my movie roles as a "tough guy" and my history as a martial arts champion. But they aren't "jokes" to those who spread them – they're "facts."

Here are a few of my favorites:

• "When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris."

   

• "Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants."

   

• "Outer space exists because it's afraid to be on the same planet with Chuck Norris."

These "facts" have become a phenomenon – a fad spread mainly by young people of high school and college age. It's hard to explain why these things happen – how they take on a life of their own.  

Naturally, over the past couple years as this wildfire has been raging, people have asked me, "What do you think of all this?"

My answer is always the same: Some are funny. Some are pretty far out. And, thankfully, most are just promoting harmless fun. (But be careful if you go searching for "Chuck Norris Facts" on the Internet, because some are just not appropriate for kids.)

Being more a student of the Wild West than the wild world of the Internet, I'm not quite sure what to make of the craze of "Chuck Norris Facts." It's quite surprising. I do know that boys will be boys, and I neither take offense nor take these things too seriously. I'm so grateful for my fans. Who knows, maybe these one liners will prompt some one to seek out the real facts about me and the beliefs that have shaped my life and my career.

While I have as much fun as anyone else reading and quoting them, let's face it, most "Chuck Norris Facts" describe someone with supernatural, superhuman powers. They're describing a superman character. And in the history of this planet, there has only been one real Superman. It's not me.

Let me illustrate using a few of the claims being made about me in the various lists of "Chuck Norris Facts":

Alleged Chuck Norris Fact: "Faster than a speeding bullet ... more powerful than a locomotive ... able to leap tall buildings in a single bound... yes, these are some of Chuck Norris' warm-up exercises."

I've got a bulletin for you, folks. I am no superman. I realize that now, but I didn't always. As six-time world karate champion and then a movie star, I put too much trust in who I was, what I could do and what I acquired. I forgot how much I needed others and especially God. Whether we are famous or not, we all need God. We also need other people.

If your whole life is spent trying to make money and you neglect the people important in your life, you will create an emptiness deep in your heart and soul. I know. I fell into that trap. I dedicated my whole life to fame and fortune. I had a huge hole in my heart and was miserable until I met my wife, Gena, who brought me back to the Lord.

Alleged Chuck Norris Fact: "There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live." It's funny. It's cute. But here's what I really think about the theory of evolution: It's not real. It is not the way we got here. In fact, the life you see on this planet is really just a list of creatures God has allowed to live. We are not creations of random chance. We are not accidents. There is a God, a Creator, who made you and me. We were made in His image, which separates us from all other creatures.

By the way, without him, I don't have any power. But with Him, the Bible tells me, I really can do all things – and so can you.

Alleged Chuck Norris Fact: "Chuck Norris' tears can cure cancer. Too bad he never cries. Ever."

There was a man whose tears could cure cancer or any other disease, including the real cause of all diseases – sin. His blood did. His name was Jesus, not Chuck Norris.

If your soul needs healing, the prescription you need is not Chuck Norris' tears, it's Jesus' blood.

Again, I'm flattered and amazed by the way I've become a fascinating public figure for a whole new generation of young people around the world. But I am not the characters I play. And even the toughest characters I have played could never measure up to the real power in this universe.

Chuck Norris is the star of more than 20 films and the long-running TV series "Walker, Texas Ranger." His book, "Against All Odds," tells the inspirational story of how he overcame abject poverty from childhood, the effects of his father's alcoholism and desertion of the family, and his own shyness and lack of strength and ability early in his life.

Had a dream last night that myself along with a number of people were aboard a school bus, and we were going from street to street spreading the Gospel. And then I noticed somehow that one pair of teens wasn't working as hard as everyone else. So, I stopped to tell them a story about how foolish and dumb it was to just do nothing, and it made sense, but one of the teens dropped his bag of fruit - these grapefruits plopped out and fell on the street. They were bad fruit, rotting at their bottom. And then we tried to walk to catch up with the bus, and caught it going down 9th street, and then we came to my street.

They were going to share the Gospel at my house just because we were there. And then afterwards, we came to a house with a couple that had markings along the outsides of their house for all the different rooms inside of their house - music room, art room, gym... It was big. I think I counted 7 in the dream, but I was not sure. There was some lady on the bus, and I begun to talk to her I think, and then the dream ended!

If you ever wondered how evolution and intelligent design is seen from the top scientists in our country give it a watch.  It is only about half of the video, you would need to buy it to watch the other half.  Trust me, it is worth your time to watch any part of it!  Just click on the real player rectangle to watch it.

Please pray for me, you guys. I'm going to pray for whoever prays for me - make mention in your prayers, like Paul (Ephesians 1, Romans 1...). I am praying that I can diligently, without fail, effectively, seek God in the revelations and testimony of scripture - undaunting, unfailing, without compromise.

Please pray for me, that the Lord will enlighten my understanding, as Paul puts it in Ephesians 1 & 2, to know the full extent of my calling, hope, the revelation of my Lord Jesus Christ, and all that can be known of God, attainable in the flesh. Sounds impossible, eh? But nothing's impossible with God. And He answers the prayers of those He's saved and cleansed... He takes great joy in it. Please agree with me in prayer. Thanks!

Cheers.
