<p>The Da Vinci Code: What do you think?</p>
<p>First as a runaway bestselling novel and now as a blockbuster movie, The Da Vinci Code has captivated millions. Its allegations against historic Christianity are colorfully portrayed - but are they true, or are they merely inaccurate accounts of centuries-old myths and heresies?</p>
<ul>

</ul>
<ul>
<li>Were 80 different gospels contending for the New Testament?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Was Mary Magdalene really directed to lead the church?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Does a secret society keep Jesus&#8217;s bloodline hidden?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Is the divinity of Jesus the fabrication of a fourth-century church council?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>How accurate is the research behind these and other assertions presented in The Da Vinci Code?</li>
</ul>
<p>This book will captivate your interest and stimulate your thinking as you investigate The Da Vinci Code. Included are riveting interviews with four noted experts, provocative questions for reflection, sidebar information, Bible references and relevant quotes.<br />

<p>By Tommy Tenney</p>
<p>God must repossess the Church if He is going to redefine the Church. This repossession must begin with a restoration of the people of God back to the person of God. God&#8217;s people must move beyond the pursuit of the gifts in order to pursue the Giver. So many have financed their own journey away from the Father&#8217;s face with those very gifts. In our pursuit of His glory we are consumed with the &#8216;tracks&#8217; of God rather than living in the &#8216;present&#8217; Presence of God.</p>
<p>We are fascinated with the anointing and fearful of the Glory. The anointing empowers flesh but the glory disables flesh. The difference between the two is like the difference between static electricity and grabbing an electric wire with your bare hand. Ask Uzzah!</p>
<p>The journey from the anointing to the glory will involve death. Only dead things can handle the glory. Only dead men can see His face.<br />
From the blessings to the Blesser,<br />
From the gifts to the Giver,<br />
From the power to the Presence</p>
<p>This message by Tommy Tenney, preached at Brownsville, will open up some hidden paths that will enable you to begin the journey from the anointing to the glory.<br />
