"Triumph Through Trial, A Story of Renewal" by award winning Christian author Theresa Franklin is an endearing story of the Owens family who went from discord, contention and strife to a new life full of renewal and triumph. Romans 8:28 states (NIV), "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." We can rest assured that even though there are trials, tragedies and hardships in life, if we live our life according to God's plans and purposes, He will work everything out in our life for good. Get ready to sit down, relax and enjoy this beautifully written book full of hope, encouragement and faith through the story of one family that overcame life's adversities through oneness in Christ.

Author, Theresa Franklin does a wonderful job in administering to the heart of families and encouraging families to stick together in love through this fictional short story. We all know what our lives look from the outside. But when we examine our family life from the inside, more than we like to admit, one will find dysfunction in the home. When we come to a place of acknowledging our sins and confessing them to God, God can work on our behalf. The author asks these important questions and urges us all to spend, "…time in front of God's mirror and try to see what those who know you best actually see? Are you a Christian? Have you accepted Christ as your savior?" In that, the author is asking, are you walking the walk and talking the talk? So many people profess to be Christians, but as Christians we should be exhibiting love, respect and service to our families in the home as well. If not, this book will lead the way to a new path of wholeness in Christ for families.

Driven by emotions, control, negativity, judgment and perfectionism, Cynthia is in complete denial of her behavior towards her family members. Severely affected, the husband is miserable, and her children avoid her as much as possible. Inevitably when there is dysfunction in the home, the author states, the stress can be measured in emotional and physical illnesses. Although the book is a fictional story, the author has described a very real and believable picture of how life is in our own families sometimes. The Owens family is torn from the inside out, due to stresses from the contention and discord caused by one family member suffering from deep emotional wounds caused from her own dysfunctional childhood.

This book is truly a blessing to families and the body of Christ. The author, through the use of scriptures and examples of family life, paints a wonderful picture of how life can be through the love and redemption of Jesus Christ. The author promotes family in this story of healing and encourages others, that "…love covereth a multitude of sins." Families will find solace and comfort through this book. Theresa's Franklin's writing style flows smoothly making for an easy read, keeping the reader fully engaged. This book will minister to all families that are "less than perfect." A highly recommend, encouraging read that will impact others for Christ. God can work in any situation, as the author illustrates, even the impossible ones.

Calvary Chapel congregation stunned as Chuck Smith announces that he has lung cancer

By Dan Wooding
Founder of ASSIST Ministries

COSTA MESA, CA (ANS) -- The congregation at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, California, were stunned today (Sunday, January 01, 2012) when Pastor Chuck Smith, it senior pastor, announced during his Sunday morning services that he has lung cancer and will have a biopsy on Tuesday and surgery the following week.

Chuck Smith started preaching in the 1960s Chuck Smith, now in his eighties and the father of the Jesus People Revolution in Southern California, said that he has never smoked in his life.
At at the end of the third service that was broadcast on KWVE 107.9 FM, his son-in-law, Brian Brodersen, joined with other pastors at the huge church and anointed him with oil and prayed for his healing.

Karl Corcoran, evangelism pastor at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, posted on Facebook, "Update: Pastor Chuck Smith having surgery this month for lung cancer after a series of tests this week. Estimated recovery time is 3 weeks."

In response to the posting, Kathy Buckley Keys said, "We were stunned with the news of Pastor Chuck. His ways are higher than ours and He is able to keep that which is committed to Him so we commit Pastor Chuck and all that is related to him, family, doctors and treatments to the Great Physician who knows Pastor Chuck intimately and ask for His guidance, favor, love and support through this time."

Shortly after the announcement, the KWVE Facebook page was flooded with goodwill messages for Chuck Smith.

Joni Barger wrote, "I'm praying for a miracle. I'm an avid listener to the radio program. Pastor Chuck I've learned so much from you. God is with you Sir."

Kim Krabbenhoft-Ancora posted, "Oh I am so sad...tears...we will be lift him up in prayer...but as said above, Pastor Chuck of all people will use this to bring Glory to The Lord!!!"

Adrianna Kneefel added, "We love you Pastor Chuck...the Lord uses your life daily to feed thousands of His sheep. Praying that much fruit would come out of this and that the the sickness would be removed in Jesus name... we speak words of life! Lord let your servant live and continue to bring the Word. Chuck is a bright light in a dark age... Lord let his light shine!"

Rachel Fret said, "I was floored when I heard the news this morning. Praying for Papa Chuck and his family. .. my husband had an aunt who died of lung cancer a few years ago. She never smoked in her whole life. Doctors assumed that it was due to where she was living...Redlands, Ca...air pollution. Don't know but yeah, we found out then that it's not a cancer caused by smoking."

And Cassandra Voight Estes posted, "Praying... Please Lord keep Chuck with us so that others might hear your precious word. You have blessed Chuck all these years. I know he will not waste his cancer and you will use it for you glory."

In a previous tribute to Chuck Smith, ANS correspondent, Brian Nixon, who for several years co-hosted Pastors Perspective with Chuck Smith, wrote: "Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement and one of the key figureheads of the Jesus Movement, has touched the hearts and lives of countless of people in his six decades of ministry.

"Not to mention his influence upon the fabric of Christian culture: from the 2,000 plus Calvary Chapel churches spanning the globe to the praise-and-worship phenomena initiated in the 1960's. His impact looms large in the halls of modern Christian history.

"Sadly, however, Pastor Chuck had a brief setback, suffering a couple of what were described as 'mini-strokes' at his home on December 27, 2009.

"I was blessed to have worked side-by-side with Pastor Chuck for almost eight years, covering numerous fields: education, publishing, radio, and television.

"Not only was I able to glean from his words, thoughts, answers, and actions, on a weekly basis, but I was also able to watch him in a variety of situations: answering questions on a radio program we hosted together, cooperating with him on books, brainstorming and praying with him through tough educational situations. And, most special of all, to watch his interaction with other human beings.

"Let me say that ... Pastor Chuck is a true gentleman. He is a man who understands God's grace and the need for people to experience that grace in the love of Christ."

I ask all of our ANS readers to pray for a swift recovery for this great Man of God, that he may be able to continue his amazing ministry for many more years to come.

"Daydreams and Night Visions" is a unique collection of beautifully written Holy Spirit inspired prophetic poems, parables and revelations intertwined with author Charles Duane Henley's life testimony. In his book, the author leaves a legacy of eloquent and passion filled poetry that combines his own life experiences and the salvation, comfort and sweet mercies of the Lord Jesus Christ, his Savior. He openly confesses the sins, the trials and the experiences that led him away from Christ as a teen and gladly reveals an amazing journey that led him back into the arms of a loving Father in Heaven. Find encouragement, hope, comfort and faith through the pages of this book. The author's highest hope is that he may share the depth of the love Christ has for each one of us through his poetry and testimony.

As a child once on fire for the Lord, worldly temptations and lusts subtly led the author to a place of sin and addiction that he could never have imagined himself entrapped in. As the proverbial prodigal son, the author describes his amazing 4-day walk that led him back to Christ at a crucial point in his life. An amazing transformation took place on that day as, "The Lord raised me from the dead, " candidly states the author.

Anointed, filled with the Holy Ghost and on fire for the Lord, the author has captured his heart and visions from the Lord through prophetic poems and parables. Listing them in categories, he speaks of many to include his story of addiction, bondage to sin and the torment of his soul while trapped in these sins. The author describes the battle that had begun over his soul, while continuing to describe visions seen of the unseen realm behind the veil as the Lord revealed to him. Henley has also included revelation of the sixth seal in the Book of Revelation and of things to come, such as the rapture of the church. The author also shares the immense love of God through categories such as, "We're Not Alone" and "Wilderness Wanderings". As the author has openly shared, these writings and poems were written and inspired by the Holy Spirit. The author has put down on paper with his pen what the Holy Spirit laid upon his heart to write for the world to read and ponder in awe and faith.

This creative, awe-inspiring book will breath life into your soul as the beautiful poetry unfolds throughout the book. This work of creativity is a true gem, a magnificent work of the Lord, as it shares of Christ's saving grace and love throughout the book.

This book is a wonderful way to evangelize and share the love of Christ with others, especially loved ones walking far from Christ or those trapped in addiction or sin. Bringing hope, faith and encouragement, the words of this book will light a fire in the hearts of the readers for Christ and Him alone. "Daydreams and Night Visions" comes highly recommended - a magnificent and touching true life story of a man redeemed by Jesus Christ that will touch your heart and soul.

Sometimes life has a way of turning inside out and upside down. What do we do when our world changes for the worse? What do we do when our family has been broken apart and it looks as though all the pieces may never fit together again? There is hope, as author T.R. Lipscomb shares in her new book release, "Dearest Children-Why Have You Abandoned Me?"

T.R. Lipscomb courageously and openly shares her mother's heart, as she writes of her journey through a heart-wrenching betrayal of an unfaithful husband, and her journey through her life, marriage and the loss of her dear children that threw her into a pit of despair for years. Transparently, she shares her heartache as a heartbroken, confused wife and mother, deeply affected by betrayal and loss, including the loss of her own health.

Despite intense persecution from those closest to her and the absolute injustice of our own "court system", the author has emerged through this fiery trial healed and whole, and wanting to help others through their trials. She boldly proclaims the Gospel and triumphantly states that healing is available to all through Jesus Christ.

Filled with scripture, letters to her "Dearest Children" and many life lessons learned from the Lord, the author testifies to the glorious transformation taking place within her as she candidly shares her own unique story. Tried in the "fire of affliction", this woman has come through the fire as "gold" and encourages others that they too can have hope!

Come, read, and find beauty for ashes, and hope instead of despair…be inspired by her testimony as the author proclaims the Truth and reality of God's Holy Word. Share in her life's lessons from her Father in Heaven and learn from her story. Learn that you have a Father in Heaven who loves you, knows your needs and wants to restore you, your family and your life. This book triumphantly rejoices in God, His grace and mercy that is a testimony to the healing, love and restoration that is available to all if you put your trust in Him.

A highly recommended read - Proclaiming hope for the hopeless and giving others the encouragement that they may need to get through their own "trial", the author stands and proclaims that the justice of the Lord is near! Truly an inspiring life story!

The Importance of Prayer - The Prayer That Works by Christian Author Ayodeji Olusanmi

2011-12-14T13:45:00.000-08:00

Prayer

The subject of prayer to a modern day believer has been taken lightly. Few believe in the prevailing power of prayer. The fact remains that if we are to prevail in life, we must first prevail in prayer. Jacob was a good example, it was said of him that, "… as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. However, it is not enough just to pray. We must endeavour to pray rightly. This timely book by Brother Ayodeji Olusanmi set out the simplicity that is attached to the platforms which makes prayer work. This book will stop the cycle of unanswered prayer in your life. It has been written to enlighten us so as to actualize the immense potential that praying carries.

The word is still the same, "... The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working] James 5:16. AMP.

10.0 stars on a scale of 10.0 stars

From Sinking Sand is an extraordinary book by Author Marsha Lenski testifying to her moral failure in the form of an adulterous affair. Marsha has been featured on "Life Today" with James and Betty Robison and CBN's 700 Club with her amazing testimony. Her story is a familiar one; at the time, she had no idea the ripple effect her adulterous affair would have in her life, nor that her moral failure would ever be discovered. What makes this book so extraordinary is that the author is brazenly honest and surprisingly transparent as she takes the reader back to her time of playing with the fire of adultery. Not only did she get burned in the process, being reduced to a pile of ashes, but her husband, her children, her close friends and family, extended friends and even acquaintances all learned that no one can play with fire and not get burned. Not only was her life forever changed, but also that of everyone she knew.

This book is a wake-up call to all who might consider adultery as some light thing. Not only is this book a warning, it provides substantial scriptural application that shows how not to 'build your house on sinking sand' while yet offering great hope. That hope is forgiveness and the absolute Truth of God's Word.

It has been Marsha's desire in writing this book to minister to those who are in or who are considering an adulterous relationship. It's a warning, a chance to turn away from those things which might cause you or your loved ones great harm. Marsha eloquently delves into her emotions and what happened to cause her to want to stray from her marriage. She did not set out to destroy anyone and thought she could get away with "her little game" as she puts it, without anyone ever finding out. Little did she know that the destruction that was planned for her was far beyond what she could have ever imagined and the price was so great that she lost everything she held dear. That was the enemy's plan for her life and those involved. That is always his plan. He comes to steal, kill and destroy.

A great understanding of the enemy's (Satan's) vices used against us as believers and non-believers will have been laid bare by reading this book. The enemy is looking to bring destruction and misery anyway he can and temptation is one of his devices. Far too many Americans have tasted the bittersweet, but devastating sting of adultery. The divorce rate in America is almost at 50% and unfortunately, Christians are no exception, as the author's memoir so vividly reveals. The author also reiterates the obvious truth of why God hates divorce; there is always destruction involved.

But there is hope, that hope is found in a loving Savior who died for our sins. The promise of that covenant is written in blood-His own blood for eternity. It doesn't matter how deep of a pit you might be in or what your condition might be, no sin is too great and it's never to late to turn to Jesus Christ as your Savior. This book lovingly testifies to the great love, mercy and grace of God and how, when you surrender your life to the Lord how He can turn your life around for the good.

Come and learn how to build your house on the Rock, so that when the storms of life come, your house will still be left standing!

Reviewed by: Christian Book Reviews

My Sons Are Jewish-The Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith written by Paula Clayman is one of the most comprehensive books on the subject. My Sons Are Jewish is a must-read for every Christian practicing the Judeo-Christian faith. Enlightening, unique and enriching this book will not only lay the foundation for the Christian faith, but gives insight and thorough understanding of the Jewish people and their prominence in history. With this book you will find an increased faith in God, a deeper appreciation for God and His love for the Jewish people. A profound appreciation for His chosen people is also keenly acquired through this informative book.

Author Paula Clayman invites the reader on a journey to discover, not only the Jewish roots of the Christian faith and answers the question of "Who is a Jew", but additionally, she delivers a noteworthy book by giving the reader God's plan of salvation to humanity through the Jewish people. Without the knowledge of the love of God towards the Jewish people and knowledge of the covenant given to Abraham and how all people of the world be blessed through that promise, recognition of who the Jewish people are would be severely lacking. Distinctive and impressive, this book is an absorbing and fascinating easy-read that gives a comprehensive history of the Jewish heritage and lineage. Without this heritage and lineage of the Jewish people, it would be easy to miss the love, dedication and reason to pray for Israel and why God's chosen people are at the very core of Christianity.

Rich with scripture and history, the author masterfully weaves the divine thread that connects Christian believers and Jews alike to the Messiah thereby establishing the Jewish lineage and heritage. The book begins first with a detailed biblical overview of God's plan of salvation to humanity through Adam. However, God's plan of salvation did not stop with the fall of Adam in the garden, but continued through to Noah, then through Abraham and on to Judah and then ultimately through David and the Davidic throne of David.

This book is paramount in understanding the role that the Jewish people play in God's plan of salvation. The author shares her vast knowledge of the subject of the Jewish lineage through many years of studying the scriptures, The Torah and many other books. She shares openly with the readers that her husband and sons are also Jewish which led her on this journey to discover their Jewish roots and hers as well, being a Christian.

This book is also a very powerful scriptural teaching that gives biblical insight into the truth of God's word, His love of His chosen people and how all people of the world are blessed through that Promise given to Abraham. A highly recommended must-read book for every Christian or Jewish person seeking a deeper relationship and walk with God.

"Man of God" by Debra Diaz, sequel to the her first epic novel, "Woman of Sin", continues the adventure and saga of true love, dedication, perseverance, romance, undying love for family and for Christ. Beautifully and masterfully written, author Debra Diaz, delights the reader with her descriptive imagery and her eloquent writing style. This epic novel is truly a mini-series in the making; you will not be able to put this book down!

Be transported back in time again by author Debra Diaz, be taken back to ancient Rome, to a time when Rome was at its height of glory and a bustling metropolis. Christ had just been crucified and believers in Christ were called, "Christians" and to believe in Christ as God, was to risk death, for 'Rome had many different Gods'.

Rome was a good place to hide for the two fugitives running for their lives. Young Alysia, now set free from slavery and Paulus Valerius Maximus, her true love, who has now taken Alysia as his wife, are both now steadfast believers in Christ, yet fugitives ever since Alysia's accusation of murdering an elite Roman. Their life will never be the same, yet they have each other and their daughter Rachel, now 8.

This novel, "Man of God" will keep you fully entertained and have you falling in love with the two main characters. Each day, Paulus, Alysia and Rachel exist in unity, enjoying and savoring each tender moment as it passes by. Life could not be better if it were not for knowing that at any given moment, their life and their daughter's life could be utterly turned upside down if they were discovered. Each day is a treasure, each day with each other is magnificent. Until that one fateful day…

Filled with intrigue and betrayal, this captivating novel takes the reader on a journey through the lives of young Alysia and Paulus Valerius, who has turned out to be quite a 'man of god'. Alysia, once doomed to a life of misery as a slave bound forever in chains, now has found love, stability and family life with her husband and their young daughter, Rachel. She has found Paulus and he has found her and nothing can separate them, nor can anything separate them from the love of Christ.

Author Debra Diaz has taken these two characters and shown how two can become one in Christ and how a marriage with Christ can be more rewarding and stronger than ever. With the scripture, "…and a threefold cord is not quickly broken" in mind (Ecc. 4:12 KJV), the author takes the reader to a new level of intimacy with the characters and dedication to Christ. The love of Christ shines brightly through this novel and will grip your soul. This novel is truly an epic journey of the Christian faith, true love and the freedom, forgiveness and new life found in Christ.

Botox Injections Used To Manage Spaticity and Tone For Patiens with MS

2011-09-13T09:40:00.001-07:00

When you're dealing with symptoms like mine –- paralyzing spasticity, intention tremors, numbness and visual problems – spaticity or tone can become overwhelming, making movement and performing simple tasks terribly difficult if not impossable... and in some cases acutely imbarrssing. Consider the other day: I woke up at 6 a.m., taking care to adjust the firmness of my Sleep Number bed so that I would be able to sit up and slide out of bed. A soft mattress just means that as I attempt to sit up I will just fall backwards increasing the spasticity and tone in my legs rendering my legs useless. The tone and spasticity only becoming greater with each attempt to sit up, of course it's morning so I have to urinate and the more I flop around on the bed like a flounder the more urgent that need becomes. And, we all know that as the situation becomes more dire it becomes more stressful resulting in greater tone in my legs. From there, I managed to get into my motorized chair. (My power chair, grunt, grunt! Sounds masculine doesn't it? Well, hold on, because I'm about to be emasculate).

I shot into my beautifully-renovated handicapped-accessible bathroom. Utilizing a jungle gym of grab bars I managed to sit myself onto the toilet but my legs were locked tightly together in front of me, toes pointing at the ceiling, not exactly the position most conducive for a guy to empty his bladder. What to do, what to do? Not much time to consider that. We were down to the buzzer, as they say. I grabbed a towel and threw it on my lap. Ahhh... Sometimes a guy just has to do what he has to do. Spasticity sucks! Time for a shower.

Is there any relief beyond the frequently prescribed drugs life Baclofen and Zannaflex? Yes, there is... it's called Botox. Botox the same stuff injected by many to reduce wrinkles in one's face,, by temporarily paralyzing the facial muscles has been used successfully to reduce and in many cases eliminate spatisity and tone. I have been getting Botox injections in my thighs, calves and ankles every two or three months for the past year and I feel like a new man. Stressful situations still bring on the tone, but for the most part the tone is gone. My knees bend easily for simple entry and exhibiting to and from the passenger seat of the car. When I am sitting in my wheelchair my knees are bent and my feet are on the floor. Don't just take my word for it... read my friend Ami's testimony below...

Ami says, "O"Okay the botox shots have helped a ton! I don't feel my legs any weaker than before, but the spasticity has gone down a lot! I can bend my legs without having to pry them to bend, can straighten them and they'll relax and start bending in, my feet go flat,and my legs open a little! (hard to self cath when your legs are locked closed!) and I can sleep once again in my normal position! Although I end up back on my side. Should have had this done a LONG time ago!!"I have to agree with Ami... Why did I go years, before giving the Botox injections a shot? Pun intended, smile.

Author Reid A. Ashbaucher, states in his book Made in the Image of God, "…the purpose of this book-to help define and reveal, in a new light, the concept of a triune God and his image imbedded, by design, in mankind." (p.66) Thus this is the essence of this book, to understand God, his design and the nature of things. The author challenges the reader to dig deeper into the scriptures to find knowledge of Him who created mankind.

To know God is to seek Him, have faith in Him and who He is. To gain a deeper revelation and understanding of Him is to acquire knowledge with understanding of who He is and who we are as humans. This book offers just that. Come gain a deeper understanding of the Word of God, who God is as the Creator of the Universe and who we are as we relate to him in an ever changing world.

This book offers a wealth of information from a man that has studied the Word of God and holds many theological degrees. Based on nothing but the Holy Scriptures, this book offers at times technical scientific ways as to understanding who God is, His Nature and Personhood. How do we relate to God who is Spirit, whom we cannot see, but yet believe is the Creator of the Universe and the giver of life? This book answers many of those questions.

Join the author as he invites you to embark on a journey that gives undeniable scriptural evidence that God is the Creator of the Universe by design thereby vividly giving biblical evidence and support in opposition to any forms of evolution, atheism, Gnosticism, Pantheism and Humanism. Each chapter builds upon each other that will lead the reader into a deeper knowledge of God.

Shedding light throughout this book, the author, answers many questions you may have about Christianity and God. Such as the question of who Jesus Christ was and how He was God incarnate upon the earth, sent to die for all the sins of the world. Or perhaps, you are wondering how a human is a spirit, soul and body. This intriguing and scriptural study will leave an indelible imprint on your soul and cause a greater appreciation of who God is and cause a deeper love of Him to grow, being the giver of salvation and the lover of our souls.

A highly recommend study for the person engaging in any biblical study in theology or for anyone desiring a deeper understanding and knowledge of God, His Nature, The nature of mankind and how we relate to God physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Systematic, concise and well written, this book offers answers to your many questions that man has as to how we as humans, living in a physical world, can relate to a supernatural, ever present and all powerful God. And how by "design", we as humans are 'made in the image of God'.

No Innocent Affair by Edward F. Mrkvicka Jr. with Kelly Helen Mrkvicka takes a look at the plague of the 21st century and one of the main contributors to the destruction of the American family-the sin of Adultery. Being a lay minister and a man who has studied the Word for many years, the author, Edward F. Mrkvicka Jr., gives not his opinion, but gives the absolute truth of God's Word through an extensive categorical list of scripture therefore laying first a biblical foundation. Then by clearly stating first God's view and comparing it with Society's view, the author lays bare the truth about adultery and the devastating consequences of adultery, not only to the person who commits the sin, but to others we love in our life who are the innocent victims of this pervasive ripple effect sin that is so prevalent in our society.

Most do no realize the far-reaching consequences of the sin of adultery in their lives, nor the cost and the author makes no mistake that there is no such thing as 'an innocent affair'. This book is an eye opener for most and highly recommended for anyone either contemplating an adulterous affair or for those who may have been entangled in an adulterous affair. The author shows the way out with some of most practical teachings culminated from the infallible Word of God to bring others out of their sin and into the light of the Lord.

Openly, but lovingly, the author shares the unavoidable, yet dire consequences of adultery and reveals that not only does it affect our lives spiritually and physically, but the sin has a ripple effect that goes on to "… virtually every innocent person in our lives" (p.11). The consequences are so monumental, that no one in their right mind "armed" with the truth of God's Word would commit adultery, but sadly, the author concedes from a recent survey, "…that over 88 percent of Americans believe adultery is wrong. Yet 77 percent of marriages involve at least one adultery." This alarming fact in our society today is bringing many to the wide-path of destruction. Quite simply put, it is choosing death over life.

Edward Mrkvicka's true desire is two-fold, first for all those that may be contemplating adultery to know the absolute truth of God's Word and the dire consequences and for those that are in an adulterous affair or have been in the past that they would also realize the devastating consequences and that the truth would bring true repentance in their life. Lastly, Mrkvicka's desire is that all would receive eternal life in Jesus Christ. Again, the author does not give his opinion, but God's view and His Holy Word. This book offers no excuses, nor apologies, but gives the truth of the Word of God. This book is truly a blessing to the body of Christ and to all who read it.

This subject is not an easy subject to be discussed, nor is it very popular, but with so many on the path to destruction in our society it is a must read for anyone entangled in or contemplating adultery. This fascinating and well-written book exposes the truth and deception in the sin of adultery and brings forth light to the subject. Thankfully, the author ends that there is hope and states, "God can save us" (p.11). For there is one hope, and that one hope is the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ. Come, read, know the truth and be set free.

"Who's on Board?" by Dr. Joseph Hyskell Jr. is an inspiring and scripturally based bible study. The author discusses twelve checkpoints that help the reader to understand what it is to be a "born-again" believer. Filled with scripture application, Author Dr. Joseph Hysekll Jr., has carefully laid down a solid foundation built upon the Holy Scriptures. The twelve checkpoints then can be discussed in a small group setting or read individually. The author indicates that many profess to be a Christian, but their life does not demonstrate a life lead by the "indwelling" of the Holy Spirit. This book will identify the "born-again" believer and demonstrates the difference between knowing about God, and really knowing Christ in the power of His resurrection.

An exciting and short read, this book is an excellent ministering tool that can be used to bring others into the Kingdom of God. This study, as suggested by the author, is recommended for groups not bigger than ten to keep the teachings on a very personal level. Written with much wisdom from scripture and from a man that has over 52 years in ministry as a Pastor, teacher and missionary, Dr. Joseph Hyskell Jr.s' teaching has captured the essence of what it means to be "born-again."

Are YOU for sale or for rent? That is a question that you should be asking yourself if you are single. Are you ready to pursue a life that is pleasing to God and take the proper steps to find your lifetime mate? Or are you just looking to have a good time and hope that everything turns out alright? In this book, the author addresses these urgent issues and explains why one works and why the other does not. This is a timely and well-written book for our youth and singles of today! Parents, heads up, you might want to read this one as well!

In his book, Author Milton K. Smith, concisely and firmly addresses the delicate subject of relationships and Christian dating in a simple and understandable way. Drawing a parallel between tabernacle, in ancient Jewish times, and the human spirit, the author sets forth a standard that is undeniable and biblically based. This is an urgent subject that needs to be more readily addressed in our youth and within our culture, as the morals have declined into the thinking that casual dating and casual mannerisms are acceptable. Not so, in this intriguing book, the author sets forth a firm foundation for what it means to be holy in relationships and to live a life acceptable to God.

This thought provoking book touches the readers’s very soul in causing one to reassess their own views when it comes to dating. Through an educating tone, like a father to a son or daughter, the author, brilliantly and eloquently poses the right questions to ask one self when considering a mate. Explaining step by step what it means to be a person with a body, soul and spirit, the author, puts in layman’s terms what it means to be filled with the Spirit of God and that the attributes to be looking for in a mate might not be what you think. As the author explains, it is of high importance to address the spiritual, as well as the physical, causing the reader to gauge the relationships that are being considered.

Setting a firm biblical perspective and foundation for an acceptable, in order relationship, the author goes on to describe the process of a healthy progression of a relationship, once a mate has been chosen. Using the example of a house and the various rooms, the author, exemplifies what exactly you should look for in a mate and how to proceed. By highlighting what is truly important, the author gives the reader the correct biblical standpoint for choosing a mate. If only our youths were taught this from the beginning there would be much less confusion and heartache!

A highly recommend book and quick read, this book can be used as a ministering tool to youths, singles and parents, alike, no matter what the age. In today’s world, this is an urgent issue that the author has addressed in a non-offensive manner, yet is biblically sound. Thank you Milton for writing this informative and much needed book!

Have you ever wondered what am I doing here on this earth? What is my purpose in this life? Is there life after death? What does it mean to be born-again? If you want more meaning in your life, you have an invitation. You can choose to accept or not to accept. The choice is yours. Love, joy, peace and true meaning and purpose in life are available to all.

Author, Henry Miranda, in his book, “The Path to Eternal Life” invites and encourages you, the reader, to choose life and accept Jesus Christ today as your Lord and Savior. Time is of the essence and there is not a moment to spare for that decision. For none of us know what tomorrow shall bring. Enter into the reality of what it means to have your sins blotted out and have your name written in the Book of Life. Enter now through the narrow gate, Jesus Christ, the giver of Eternal Life.

Beginning with the straightforward question of the choice of Heaven and Hell, the author sets forth a candid dialogue on the life-altering question of life after death. Openly sharing his testimony, the author, discusses what led him to Christ and how Christ delivered him out of the domains of darkness. The author encourages you to know your true purpose in life and to find true life, that which can only be found in the one who can offer eternal life, Jesus Christ.

The author thoroughly describes the process of salvation, step by step and includes explanation in regards to what it means to be born again, what about the Holy Spirit, the journey, the spirit and the flesh, not to mention encouraging chapters such as perseverance and knowing your true purpose.

An awakening to those who question that there is really a God, the author takes a real look at the reality of sin and a life separated from God and what can happen to anyone not in Christ. This book is a prophetic call ‘for such a time as this’ that today is the day of salvation.

This is a powerful, well-written, riveting book and an urgent call to come to the one who can offer eternal life. Scripturally sound and based, this book will encourage anyone who is not in Christ to make a choice for Christ today and not put salvation off until tomorrow. Like a cold cup of water, this book offers refreshment for those who are weary. As water brings life to one’s body, so this book brings life to the soul by giving the truth of God’s Word.

Eat the Cookie... Buy the Shoes: Giving Yourself Permission to Lighten Up

By Joyce Meyer

Engrained in our culture is the belief that unbending discipline is the only sure way to success. You must go to the gym five times a week, never order the dessert, and don't even think about buying that dress you keep staring at in the store window. Breaking from such a regimented lifestyle is a sign of weakness, right? Wrong!-and Joyce wants to tell us why...

Though setting rules in our lives are important, it's just as important that we break them from time-to-time. Structure is a powerful tool, but when diverging from your own goals is seen as catastrophic, it can have a hugely negative effect on us. Balance is a core value in life and every once in awhile we deserve to indulge in a guilty pleasure or two. So don't feel bad about straying from your goals every once-in-awhile and in fact, embrace it: eat the cookie and buy the shoes!

And The Beat Goes On
By Author Tracy Krauss

Nephilim, Fallen Angels, A Race Of Giants

When an archaeologist uncovers an earthshaking discovery in the mountains of Zimbabwe, plenty of theories are unearthed to describe his find.

Canadian archaeologist Mark Graham digs up the remains of a pterodactyl, found carefully buried next to a set of gigantic human bones. What could his finding mean? Was there a race of giant humans who existed near the time of the dinosaurs? Or is the find a carefully planned hoax?

One theory speculates the existence of a race of giants, believed to have descended from both men and gods. The race is called Nephilim, and scientists scurry to find the truth behind the bones.
As sinister forces enter the picture and Graham is deceived by friends and colleagues, he struggles to safeguard the bones and his reputation so he can learn the mystery behind the Nephilim.

Building On The Rock Of The Word Of God

2010-01-26T09:58:00.000-08:00

From Author Phillip A. Ross of Pilgrim Platform Books.

See into one man's theology turned rightside up by the love of Christ. A pastor, born again in the pulpit, encounters the world and the church in the light of the gospel — and everything changed.

Crisis of ...

What? The American economy? The Stock Market? Eight years of Bush policies? How about a hundred years of liberal indoctrination!

If we can't see the right problem or see the problem rightly, we cannot find the right solution. If we don't understand the disease, we cannot prescribe a medication. Apart from a proper diagnosis, doing something may be worse than doing nothing. America is in serious denial of her real situation. Seeing the problem, putting the problem in the correct context, is everything.

What Can We Do?

The first thing to do is to see the problem in its proper context, its historical context, its cultural context. That is what these books are about, helping people see the problem from a biblical perspective. However, unrepentant sinners do not want to see what the Bible is trying to show us because the perspective of the Bible threatens them — and rightly so. For the past hundred years or so unrepentant sinners have had increasing control of American public education, media and even religious institutions. People have been steeped in godlessness for so long that they no longer even realize it. These books provide insight and instruction intended to repair the breaches.

Submit Yourselef To The Elder

2009-11-07T19:58:00.001-08:00

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Trusting In Christ’s Love, We Learn To Love.

2009-11-05T09:13:00.000-08:00

The Pharisees lived by law. Jesus lived by love. The law of God – ‘holy and just and good’ (Romans 7:12) – had been distorted by the religious hypocrites. They were saying, ‘love your neighbour and hate your enemy’ (Matthew 5:43). ‘Love your neighbour’ is found in Leviticus 19:18. ‘Hate your enemy’ is not found in the Old Testament. For the Jews, ‘neighbour’ meant their own kind. They wrongly concluded that Gentiles were to be hated. Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan makes it clear that we are to love our enemies as well as our friends (Luke 10:25-37). Jesus’ disagreement is not with the law of God. It is with man’s misuse of it. Jesus’ teaching is simple – Love is not to be limited. It is demanding – love is all-embracing. We dare not bring love within our reach. We always fall short. We can only come to Christ. Confessing our lack of love and trusting in His perfect love, we learn to love.

The Fruit Of Compromise

2009-10-28T15:27:00.001-07:00

Jesus spoke of the man who built his house on solid foundation vs. the man that built his house on sand. One was built on rock solid foundation, while the other was not. Jesus went on to say that the house built on the solid foundation could withstand difficult times, that the winds could blow and the house would remain, but that the house built on sand would not stand and great would be the fall of it. Just imagine the endless situations and circumstances that this application could apply to.

Sometimes it's possible to start out on solid foundation and slowly be moved to unstable foundation. One way for this to happen is through compromise. We all occasionally compromise, however if we continue to walk in compromise it can cause a shift and that shift can lead to unstable grounds.

When this happens, we must examine situations, ourselves, and the path that we have taken. For it's easy to get off course in today's world.

There are blessings found in the straight and narrow.

Balloon Saga Potential Hoax

2009-10-23T19:20:00.001-07:00

I'm sure that you watch the balloon that came loose and everyone thought that a boy was inside of it. The ordeal was shown on nationwide television a few weeks ago as the balloon traveled some 20 plus miles at 3,000 plus feet high. It was quite a sight to see on television, especially with the potential that a small young boy might have been in the balloon.

Well according to recent news reports online, apparently the whole situation may have been a hoax right from take off. Apparently the mother of the 6 year old boy that once feared that the boy was missing inside a runaway helium balloon admitted the whole saga was a hoax according to the article.

It just goes to show you the emotional power of nationwide television because as this odeal was first shown on television millions around the country and possibly the world were convinced that a young boy was in that balloon. For me, regardless of what was, I'm just glad that he wasn't indeed in that balloon. Hats off to all the local authorities that chased that balloon down and brought it safely back to earth the whole time having great concern that a boy might be in the helium balloon. They are the true hero's.

Ancient Greek Gods, Societies & History

2009-10-17T16:17:00.001-07:00

I'm sure you've study a little history on the Ancient Greek Gods. It's actually a fun study to look into and it definitely gives you an overview on ancient societies and ancient history of some of the cultures of the world. There is so much history when it comes to mankind that to study it all could take a lifetime. Just imagine living 1,000 years ago, or even in the days of Christ.

I love to read the Bible which shares accounts clear back to creation in the book of Genesis when the Lord God formed man from the dust of the earth. We all know the story of Adam and Eve. The Bible is filled with history, accounts, life and matters that pertain to eternal life. Let me encourage you to add the Bible to your studies daily. For within the scriptures are some of the most important things you will ever read.

Blessings, and remember God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son Jesus to die for the sins of the world.

Psalm 10 - It’s Either One Or The Other – Turning Towards God Or Turning Away From Him (Part Two).

2009-10-17T13:45:00.000-07:00

“Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless” (v.12).

God is calling us to return to Him. He’s calling us to turn away from the way of the wicked. He’s calling us to walk with Him. When we pray, “Do not forget the helpless”, we begin by praying, “Lord, remember me, I need Your help.” We read about “the wicked” (vs. 13, 15). We read about “the victim” (v. 14). What is God saying to us? He’s saying to us, “Don’t be like the wicked man who reviles God. Don’t be like the wicked man who says to himself, “He won’t call me to account” (v. 13).He’s saying to us, “Be like the victim – ‘The victim commits himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless’ (v. 14).”He’s saying to us, “There will be judgment – ‘the wicked and evil man will be called to account for his wickedness’ (v. 15).”He’s calling us back from the way that leads to judgment. He’s calling us to acknowledge that He “is King for ever and ever” (v. 16). He’s calling us to come to Him with “the desire of the afflicted” (v. 17). He’s speaking to us His Word of encouragement, assuring that we need not live in fear of man (vs. 17-18). Saved by the Lord, let us walk with Him in the pathway of victory.

Psalm 10 - It’s Either One Or The Other – Turning Towards God Or Turning Away From Him (Part One).

2009-10-17T13:42:00.000-07:00

^"Why, O LORD, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?"

This question can be turned around. God puts the question to us, “Why, in your times of trouble, do you stand far off?” In this Psalm, God is inviting us to think about the kind of people we are becoming. Are we turning away from God? Or Are we turning towards Him?

It’s either one or the other – turning towards God or turning away from Him.

We read about “the wicked man” who “hunts down the weak” (v. 2). He thinks only of himself – “He boasts of the cravings of his heart.” There is no place for the Lord in his life – “he reviles the Lord. In his pride the wicked does not seek Him: in all his thoughts there is no room for God”(vs. 3-4). Things are going well for him – “His ways are always prosperous.” He doesn’t give thanks to God – “he is haughty and Your laws are far from him.” He thinks that everything will keep on going his way – “He says to himself, ‘Nothing will shake me; I’ll always be happy and never have trouble.’” (vs. 5-6). The wicked man shows contempt towards other people – “he sneers at all his enemies” (v. 5) – ^“His mouth is full of curses and lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue. He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent, watching in secret for his victims. He lies in wait like a lion in cover; he lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net. His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength” (vs. 7-10). The wicked man thinks that he can do what he likes – “He says to himself, ‘God has forgotten; he covers his face and never sees.’” (v. 11).Are we becoming like the wicked man? God is calling us to turn back to Him.

America Must Do Something

2009-10-14T22:07:00.001-07:00

I must admit that I'm at a loss. We have NASA which accomplishes great things. We have technology that is flat out amazing. Our military is the most powerful well equipped military in the world. The world looks to America for many things and to help solve many problems. Yet, we can't safeguard our citizens and our children from drugs, gangs and the violence, death and destruction they cause.

In the blink of an eye, we can ship men off to war, prepare entire battle plans and engage an enemy with strategic force, yet we can't end illegal drugs. We are able to put satellites into orbit, but we can't end illegal drugs.

I just wonder why? Why can America accomplish such great things, however America can't stop the flow of illegal drugs into our country? I'm praying for a drug free America and for our children's future, free from drugs, gangs, violence, and the death and destruction they cause. America, wake up.

For The Perfecting Of The Saints

2009-10-12T18:06:00.001-07:00

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Jesus Christ.

Your Shall Know Them & They Shall Know You By Fruits

2009-10-09T13:56:00.001-07:00

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

There Is Power In The Words That We Speak To Others

2009-10-03T14:09:00.001-07:00

Encouragement goes along ways. It helps people overcome feelings of loss, hopelessness, depression and can press through sad times. Encouragement is like medicine that stirs the depths of us to press forward, overcome and find victory.

Sometimes just the simplicity of saying "everything will be alright" or "your going to do great" can make all the difference in the world. Encouragement is an extension of the very fruits of the spirit, an extension of love and compassion and is a powerful seed that when sown can produce great fruit in the lives of others.

Be an encourager and sow seeds that are fruitful.

A Call To Prayer

2009-09-27T16:01:00.001-07:00

‘Our God is able’(Daniel 3:17). Do we believe this? There is no doubt about God’s power. What about our faith? We come to Jesus, saying, ‘If you can’. Jesus turns things around: ‘If you can! All things are possible to him who believes’(Mark 9:22-23). This is not so much an appeal for positive thinking. It is a call to prayer (Mark 9:29). Less self-confidence and more confidence in God – This is what we need. God’s greatness is more important than our ‘greatness’(Mark 9:33-35). Are there things that you don’t understand? Don’t be afraid to ask (Mark 9:32). You may even learn from those who ‘don’t belong to our group’(Mark 9:38-40). They don’t belong to our group? So what? Do they belong to Christ? That’s what matters. ‘It is better’(Mark 9:43,45,47) to be Christ’s – than anything else! May our faith, though ‘tested by fire’, grow strong – to God’s glory (Mark 9:49-50; 1 Peter 1: 6-7).

Carefully Choose The Right Path & Foundation

2009-09-26T14:48:00.001-07:00

Just imagine if your house was not built on concrete, but rather sand. Things could become very unstable at any given time. A earthquake could occur, or a winter storm. There could be a flood, or even a mudslide. The results could be very bad. Just imagine all the potential possibilities for disaster if your house was built on sand. Now imagine your life being built on sand.

Here are the words of Jesus on the matter. Life changing words that are over 2,000 years old, yet eternal.

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Our Great Saviour And His Great Salvation

2009-09-23T15:42:00.000-07:00

‘See how great He is!’(Hebrews 7:4). These words refer to Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:1-3; Genesis 14:18-20). Melchizedek has ‘neither beginning of days nor end of life’. He ‘continues a priest for ever’. He ‘resembles the Son of God’. He is ‘like the Son of God’ (Hebrews 7:3). Let your thoughts move from Melchizedek to the Lord Jesus Christ – ‘See how great He is’! Jesus Christ is ‘the Beginning and the End’ (Revelation 21:6; 22:13). ‘Jesus lives for ever’and ‘has a permanent priesthood’ (Hebrews 7:24). He is our great Saviour: ‘He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him’ (Hebrews 7:25). We look beyond Melchizedek. We look to our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. We look to Him and we say, ‘There’s no greater Name than Jesus, Name of Him who came to save us’ (Mission Praise, 684). Let Jesus be your great Saviour. Come to Him and receive His great salvation.

Shopping Carts Gone Wild

Have you ever been there? You're at the grocery store and the parking lot is full of stray shopping carts. Why? Well that's because the last person that used the cart didn't take the time to put it in the secure area designed for shopping carts. Rather that taking the time to return the shopping cart, they just left it sitting by the car.

Rewards shall be given and rewards taken away, so the scriptures say. Take the time to put the shopping cart away and be a blessing to others that visit the grocery store in your community. Besides, what goes around comes around and you just might save your car from a ding in the door.

Born Trouble Makers That Create Situations

2009-09-21T14:52:00.001-07:00

There's nothing worse than bad hair day people. People that are always looking for some dramatic situation to unfold to make their day seem worth wild. People that are always gossipping about the latest, meddling in other peoples affairs, pointing fingers at others, judging and creating drama. I just don't understand that mind set. As if peace, happiness and joy escape them. What kind of life is that?

Life is beautiful, it is wonderful and it is filled with wonder. Yes, there are those days, weeks and sometimes seasons, but why with intent create difficulties and hardships. Why light the fire, place the skillet on it and jump into the skillet. And the worst part, why expect others to jump into the skillet with you.

Overdrive To The Ends Of The World

2009-09-18T19:54:00.001-07:00

Have you ever noticed how many times we seem to get into high gear before we shift from 1st to 2nd to 3rd and to 4th. This happens in churches, in ministries and in our personal lives. Personally I have found God, my walk with God and the Christian life to be season after season of change and that God is in no hurry. Considering that Christ died upon the cross over 2,000 years ago and countless generations and seasons have unfolded, that in it's self proves that God is a patient God. After all, God could have judged the world 1,000 years ago and called His Bride home, yet here we are, still awaiting the second coming of Christ.

Many times, we just flat out get in a hurry. We get so far ahead of God, His plans and His purposes that we are creating our own agenda's while thinking and believing we are in God's Perfect Will. I've oftened wondered this in regards to the size of our online ministry which has grown to over 150 separate ministry blogs, not counting all the other blogging communities that we are involved within.

Easy Steps To Repentance

2009-09-15T20:04:00.001-07:00

Repentance made simple: Confess your sins before God, and change course. You don't need to turn a sin into a major ordeal, just admit it, take responsibility for it and change course. For example if you've wronged someone, simply say I'm sorry, ask them for their forgiveness and treat them with love and respect. God will do the rest.

Blessings are found in repentance.

When God's Plans Are Hindered

2009-09-13T21:38:00.001-07:00

Have you ever been there. Watching something unfold that was not suppose to happen. Sometimes our inability to listen and stubbornness brings forth the complete opposite of what God had planned. Other times we become surrounded by others that make so much noise that when God speaks we can't hear and don't listen.

The outcomes can be either blessings or curses, and sometimes seasons of time to change course that are like walking up a steep hill.

We should never quench God's Spirit, hinder His plans and purposes or turn our ears to His Words.

When Deep Inside Somethings Wrong

2009-09-11T14:10:00.001-07:00

We occasionally encounter those days that affect us. They affect our happiness, our personalities, our character and some times others around us. Depression is occasionally a part of life, unfortunately. However when misery and unhappiness becomes a daily routine, somethings wrong, drastically wrong. Many times within this we easily blame others for our unhappiness or we adapt that if only I could, or if only life was attitude.

The truth is that there is something wrong and that something is found deep inside of us. Yes, we can blame others and take on that pity party attitude. We can apply that but if only mindset, however the truth is that we need to look within us, deep within us, because somethings missing. You see, we were not created to live a life of sadness, misery and unhappiness. Life is not suppose to be ruled by these emotions and problems.

If you're dealing with daily misery and can't find happiness. Is it possible that what's truly missing is God in your life?

God can meet all your needs.

Through The Power Of The Holy Ghost

2009-09-10T20:16:00.001-07:00

It's a fun and very informative Bible study. Where there is laughter, heaviness ceases. Where there is joy, depression flees. Where joy and laughter are found, sadness is not.

And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

The Fruit Of Patience

2009-09-10T12:30:00.001-07:00

I love to rest in God. Life comes with many different challenges and sometimes those challenges can overwhelm us. Over the years I've learned a very important fruit of the Spirit. Patience! Within such, I've learned to rest in God, to not respond so quickly or become easily offended by situations. I simply take a deep breath and start praying when situations arise. When we rest in God, we find God's peace, wisdom and counsel flowing and that simply calms the storms. It helps us to put things into perspective.

Let me encourage you to rest in God when things seem to overwhelm you. Remember, yesterday is gone, today is here, and tomorrow will take care of it's self. Allow Jesus to calm the storms, and allow the Holy Spirit to minister peace to you.

Blessings are found in resting in God.

Traveling The Roads Of The Christian Walk

2009-09-09T13:34:00.001-07:00

As we come to know God and His ways, our walk with God and as a Christian goes through many seasons and challenges. We encounter many of the same situations and circumstances in life that we did prior to becoming a Christian. The difference is that as the seasons unfold hopefully we mature and character comes forth, as we look at and see things differently. The old man starts to pass away and as new creations in Christ, the birthing process unfolds.

Sometimes we fall back into old patterns, however as the holy Spirit brings conviction to us, we find ourselves seeking the forgiveness and direction of a loving Savior. It is written that Jesus will complete the good work that He has begun in us. Now that's good news, knowing that Christ will never leave us or forsake us, and that our precious Lord is always there to hold our hand and lead us in the ways of righteousness.

Thank God that we have such a loving, compassionate and forgiving Savior.

Things That God Hates

2009-09-08T19:35:00.001-07:00

We all know that God is a God of love. That He is full of mercy, compassion, truth, righteousness and forgiveness. A question? Is God capable of hate? Does God hate evil or wickedness?

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Mysterious, Weird, Strange Things

2009-09-08T15:03:00.001-07:00

I think it would be fair to say that the Bible is filled with some mysterious, weird, and strange things. I could list many many scriptures that you might agree with me on. But to save some time how about chariots of fire, an axe head floating in water, a man named Elijah that killed 100's of men with a knife no bigger than a kitchen knife, the dead coming back to life, people drinking Jesus's blood, the sons of God that came from heaven to earth, saw that the daughters of men were fair, took of them, came into them and produced giants in the land, angels appearing in human form, a woman being turned to a rock of salt, and on and on ...

I love reading the Bible and I think back to those seasons when I devoured it day after day. It is the most interesting book I have ever read. It is also the most life changing book I have ever read.

Blessings are found in the pages of the Bible.

The Love Of A True Freind

2009-09-07T16:55:00.001-07:00

There is nothing like the unconditional love of a true Friend. They are there with you and for you in good times and bad times. They encourage you, assist you, and care about you. Friendship is wonderful and true friends are hard to find. What a better place our world would be if we were all true Friends to one another.

A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Spider Webs, Wolves And Sheep

2009-09-07T16:46:00.001-07:00

Have you ever noticed how a spider will spin a web to catch it's next victim? They carefully spin the web in just the right place and then sit and wait for the catch. Have you ever watched a pack of wolves stalk it's prey?

It is the same with the sheep being the flock of God. There's strength and safety in numbers, however if as a sheep you stray off all alone, you just might find yourself not only being guarded and protected within the flock, but falling prey to the wolves.

Living In The Fast Lane

2009-09-06T21:37:00.001-07:00

If you're like me, you like fast cars. There's just something about racing that holds my interest. You see, I use to race professionally and I remember those times at various race tracks. It was fun, a lot of fun. It's one thing to race fast cars at local and national race tracks and it's another thing to live your life in the fast lane. Before you know it, you can get burnt out.

If your at that place of burn out in life or ministry, let me encourage you to slow down and enjoy life. God never intended for you to get burnt out, but to run the race well, to persevere and to be victorious. It's God's Will that you win and have abundant life in the process.

The Joy Of The Lord And The Fear Of The Lord

2009-09-05T15:58:00.000-07:00

Joy - This is the great theme of Paul’s letter to the Philippians: “Rejoice in the Lord always, and, again, I say, rejoice” (4:4).This joy is not a superficial emotion. It’s a confidence which is deeply rooted in God. When we see that true joy is joy in the Lord, we understand why the Word of God can speak of both the joy of the Lord and the fear of the Lord – “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Psalm 111:10). Scripture tells us that “perfect love casts our fear” (1 John 4:18). This is the Good News that “there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1). “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” should be understood in connection with “the joy of the Lord” which is “our strength” (Nehemiah 8:10). In receiving the joy of the Lord, we receive strength to live to His glory. We live to His glory when we learn to honour our God. Honouring Him as our God, we become more deeply aware of His holiness. This inspires in us a desire to live a holy life. Thus, we come to appreciate the truth of the words, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Thus, we see that “the fear of the Lord” is very different from the kind of fear which is cast out by perfect love. We come, led by God’s grace, to see that the fear of the Lord is part of God’s way of leading us into a life of loving Him who first loved us (1 John 4:19) ...

A Few Thoughts on Philippians 1

Construction That Stands The Weathers Of Time

2009-09-05T15:48:00.001-07:00

Here are the words of Jesus on the matter. Life changing words that are over 2,000 years old, yet eternal.

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

They key is reading, knowing, understanding and holding onto the sayings of Jesus.

Blessings, in Christ and His Words.

Cartoon Shows

2009-09-04T13:18:00.001-07:00

My daughter loves her cartoon shows. Daily she watches them and sits quietly taking in all the images and sounds. Sometimes she laughs and laughs, other times she's just intently watching, and other times she's dancing to the songs. As the years have passed her mother and I have noted that she acts out some of the cartoon characters, has picked up some of the sayings and even names her dolls and bears after some of the cartoon characters and then there are the songs which she has learned and sings from time to time. She's only 5 years old.

Now imagine a teenager free to watch and view whatever television program or movie that's on the television or cable?

Do you know what you're kids are watching on television?

Blessings, and watch over them with care.

Living A Victorious Life

2009-09-03T22:58:00.000-07:00

What is living a life of victory? How do you measure a life of victory? Is it wealth, possessions, material things, health, who you are, what you accomplish, what others say about you? Well I guess many would say yes. However consider this. Living a victorious life just might be a life of blessing others. In other words having the ability to do good, to make a difference and to be a world changer. Regardless of how we might all see what it is to live a victorious life. One thing is certain. With God's blessings and favor, living a victorious life gets a whole lot easier.

Oh the Problems With The Tongue

2009-08-28T16:19:00.001-07:00

The tongue is a small member that can start major fires. Many times one person will open their mouth and cast forth slanderous statements about another. Many times those words fall into the ears of others who pour out gasoline on the fire. Before you know it, everyone's having a bon fire. Gossip and slander are not Kingdom seeds. They are seeds of the flesh, the carnal mind and they empower the forces of darkness.

Remedy: Repentance ....

Christ Has Won The Victory Over the devil. He Has Won This Victory For Us

2009-08-27T15:41:00.000-07:00

The devil is at work. He seeks to sow seeds of doubt into the heart of God’s people. He suggests to us that God’s gracious foundation for our faith can be destroyed. This is nothing new. It’s as old as Genesis 3:1 – “Did God say … ?“ The devil says to us, “Has God really forgiven your sins?” He says, “Has God really saved you?” The devil wants to get us on the run. He wants us to run away from him. We must not let him get the upper hand. We are to resist him in the strength of Christ’s victory over him. When we “resist the devil” in the strength of Christ’s victory, “he will flee from us” (James 4:7). To believe the devil is to believe the lie. The truth is that, when take our stand in Christ, the devil has no alternative but to ruin from us. Christ’s victory over the devil becomes our victory over Christ has won the victory over the devil. Through faith in Christ, His victory becomes our our victory over the devil.

Here are three important lessons concerning this victory.

1) Through His death on the Cross, Christ has won the victory over the devil. He has won this victory for us . 2) On the basis of the victory that Christ has won for us, we can stand our ground against the devil. 3) When we take our stand in Christ, the devil can do nothing else but flee from us. He is strong when we try to stand against him in our own strength. When, however we remind him of Christ’s victory over him, he can do nothing but bow before Christ’s superior power. Rejoicing in the victory that Christ has won for us, let’s remind the devil that he’s a defeated enemy.

God’s Way of Salvation (Psalm 11)

Real Gold And Fools' Gold ... (Revelation 8:1-9:21)

2009-08-11T15:21:00.000-07:00

Real gold and fool’s gold - What a difference there is between the two! In 8:3, we read about real gold. In 9:7, we read about something which ‘looked like crowns of gold’. There is a difference between the real thing and the counterfeit. There is a challenge for us here - in connection with both salvation and service. In Matthew 7:21, Jesus warns us, ‘Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord”, will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven’. In 1 Corinthians 3:10-15, Paul invites us to think seriously about the ‘quality’ of the ‘work’ we’re doing for Christ. Is it work which will prove to be of real, lasting value? - ‘gold, silver, costly stones’. Is our work superficial? Does it lack any real depth? - ‘wood, hay, straw’? Build on Christ: ‘Be careful how you build on Him.’

Delusions Of Granjure

2009-08-05T21:28:00.001-07:00

Of lately, it seems that visions and prophetic words have over ridden the very word of God in certain circles. Rather than walking by and in faith, some walk by sight, however such vain imaginations are of the flesh.

Beware of false prophets, and those whom prophecy for gain. They wear sheep's clothing, however they are like as raging wolves.

God's Wake-Up Call

2009-07-06T10:27:00.000-07:00

God wants us to ‘grow up in every way into Christ’(Ephesisns 4:15). We are to ‘walk in love’(Ephesians 5:2), a life which is ‘pleasing to the Lord’(Ephesians 5:10). It is so easy for us to settle for something less than God’s very best. We settle down into a state of spiritual complacency. What does God have to say about this? - ‘Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God’(Ephesians 4:30). He gives us His wake-up call: ‘Awake, O sleeper…’(Ephesians 5:5:14). God says to us, ‘Awake, awake, put on your strength… Shake yourself from the dust, arise’(Isaiah 52:1-2). Have you become ‘lukewarm’? - ‘Be zealous and repent’. Christ says, ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him’(Revelation 3:16, 19-20). What will you say to Him? - ‘Come into my heart, Lord Jesus. Come in today. Come in to stay’.

Overcoming Today's "Goliaths"

2009-07-06T06:50:00.000-07:00

David faced a giant. We face giants. His giant was called Goliath. Our "Goliaths" are the giants of unbelief and disobedience. We're told that it doesn't matter what you believe. We're told that it doesn't matter how you live. Like David, we must rise up with faith in the Lord. Like David, we must move forward in obedience to the Lord. Let us challenge today's "Goliaths" - "I come to you in the Name of the Lord ... whom you have defied."We do not face these "Goliaths" in our own weakness. We face them in the strength of the Lord. Knowing that "the battle is the Lord's", we take our stand upon the Word of God: "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me, says the Lord" (1 Samuel 17:45-47; Isaiah 54:17).

Saul Replaced. Saul Transformed.

2009-06-28T15:59:00.000-07:00

Two men with the same name - Saul, the first kling of Israel, and Saul of Tarsus, the persecutor of Christ and His servants.

In both stories, we read of a new man.
* In the case of Saul, the first king of Israel, David was the new man. Saul was rejected. He was replaced.
The LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king ... So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed David in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power. Samuel then went to Ramah" (1 Samuel 16:1, 13).
* In the case of Saul of Tarsus, it was very different. Saul became the new man. He became Paul the apostle. He was saved by the Lord. His life was transformed by the power of Christ's love. He became a new creation in Christ Jesus. He had this great testimony: "It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me." (Galatians 2:20).
- We don't need to be like Saul, the first king of Israel - castaway, laid aside as of no further use (1 Corinthians 9:27).
- Each of us can be like Paul the apostle. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, we have more than Paul's own testimony. we have a call to each one of us. God is calling us to be transformed by the power of Christ's love. He is calling us to become "a new creation in Christ" - "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has gone. The new has come!"

From Sadness To Gladness

2009-06-16T03:30:00.000-07:00

1 Samuel 3 begins with words of great sadness - "the Word of the Lord was rare in those days" (v.1). It ends with words of real gladness - "The Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the Word of the Lord, and the word of Samuel came to all Israel" (v.21).

Friendships is not always what it appears to be. Sometimes people let you down. Sometimes intentionally and other times un intentionally.

"There's A Work For Jesus None But You Can Do."

2009-05-31T15:55:00.000-07:00

In 1 Chronicles 9:13, we read of ‘very able men for the work of the service of the house of God’. Some have been called by God to preach His Gospel and teach His Word. All of us have been called to serve the Lord. It may not be preaching and teaching. It will be something you can do for Him. In this chapter, we read of some who were ‘chosen to be gatekeepers’, some who were ‘assigned to take care of the furnishings and all the other articles of the sanctuary...’, some who were ‘entrusted with the responsibility for baking...’ and others who were ‘singers’ or ‘musicians’ (1 Chronicles 9:22, 29, 31, 33). There’s something for everybody: ‘There`s a work for Jesus ready at your hand, `Tis a task the Master just for you has planned. Haste to do His bidding, yield Him service true; There`s a work for Jesus none but you can do.’

"Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to Your Name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness" (Psalm 115:1).

2009-05-30T12:28:00.000-07:00

No glory to ourselves. We are sinners. All glory to the Lord. He is the Saviour.
