PRAYER (3)

Prayer Warriors make a profound difference because they have a profound connection with the heart of God and with the hand of God.
“Strive together with me in your prayers to God for me.”
“Pray for those believers in prison as though you were in prison with them.”
“Pray for me, that I might open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of God.”
“The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth (accomplishes) much.”
The weary ones had rest, the sad had joy that day,
-And wondered how?
A ploughman, singing at his work, had prayed,
-“God, help them now.”
Away in foreign lands they wondered how
-Their simple words had power.
At home the Christians, two or three
-Had met to pray an hour.
Yes, we are always wondering, wondering how?
-Because we do not see
Someone, perhaps unknown and far away
-On bended knee.

Every conversation between Christians is prayer.
“Those who loved the Lord spoke often to one another, and the Lord listened and heard them.”
“What manner of persons should we be in all holy conversation and godliness.”

I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SEE THE DAY (part two)

Read part one first.
I never thought I’d see the day when the church takes (un)marching orders from the government.
How many churches do you see following all the rules from the government, even rules that single out churches, against the first amendment?
That is how many churches will follow the next mandate from the government—and become totally ineffective to make a difference anymore.
“The Christian is to show the prince how to bear the sword.”—–Martin Luther

I just heard that many missionaries of days gone by would pack their belongings in a coffin when they headed out to the mission field.
SYSTEMIC RACISM
November 11, 2020 By Leave a Comment
Racism is caused by systemic sin—the systemic sin nature that is in all of us.
We are like a field of dry grass that can be set ablaze under the right circumstances with the right spark.
Some people hold up a metal lightening rod in a thunderstorm, inviting their dry grass to be ignited.
Some people delight in throwing a lighted match on others’ dry grass.
The sinful, evil nature inside all of us waits for the trigger of temptation to give us the excuse to act on what we wanted to do all along.
“As a person thinks in his heart, so is he.”
“For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.” and so, racism.
Systemic racism is solved only by addressing systemic sin.
Systemic sin is addressed only by turning to Jesus for healing of the heart, and then healing of our other ills.
IT’S GETTING BAD – – – SO . . .
November 11, 2020 By Leave a Comment
What should we be considering for the time when things get really bad?
You mean, like now?—like real soon, maybe?
How to protect myself, and my family?
How can we get out of here?
Big talk—is it big cheap?
Is planning just talk?
Where can we go?
Can we survive?
What matters?
What works?
Any help?
“We see it’s getting bad, so . . . don’t develop an escape plan—develop an impact plan.”—–Frank Turek (on American Family Radio)
That resonates with me—my by-line on this site:
MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE, IN THE PARTS THAT ARE FOR KEEPS
The stuff that counts will soon be separated from the stuff that doesn’t count.
Then we will all understand what we really need—eternal survival.
