"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 Prayer That Works

The Power of 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.

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.

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

2011-09-13T09:43:00.001-07:00

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.

(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.

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.

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."

Youth Pastors - A Must Read Book About Singles

9.7 stars out of 10.0 stars

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!

A movie in the making, "God’s Avenger Michael, The Imprecatory Angel" written by Daniel John Gura is a exciting, gripping and fascinating read. This pro-life Christian fiction novel will touch your heart and cause you to ponder one of today's most controversial and profound issues - the lives of the unborn. A fiction novel that is interwoven with life, truth and realities of monumental proportion.

The author's writing style will keep you hanging on the edge of your seat coupled with an expectancy of what the next page, character or chapter will bring. There are no idle sections to be found in this book which flows from one page to the next. You will not be able to put the book down as each situation unfolds and the next is birthed. The book is captivating and engaging as the author portrays the righteousness of God being inflicted upon the evil and wickedness of mankind through this Imprecatory Angel, Michael.

Each character comes to life in this fast paced novel as the author describes each scene with real intensity and real-life drama. As each situation unfolds, the book reads like an action movie on paper. The author makes you feel as if you are right there with the characters as they try to unravel the unfolding mysteries of the disasters happening around them. From rumors to hypotheticals, something is unfolding beyond the natural with the supernatural taking the forefront.

Just as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were spared in Old Testament times with all unharmed 'without even the smell of smoke' on their clothing or a scratch on their persons. Just like the plagues of Moses that were unleashed on Egypt in biblical times, this book has supernatural, righteous judgement and justice woven all through the mesmerizing pages, all the while bringing praise and glory to God.

This is a timely and important piece of work addressing one of today's most controversial issues - saving the lives of the unborn. After reading this book, one must come to the conclusion of considering the life of the unborn to be to monumental to just sit down and remain silent. This pro-life novel reveals God's justice that is magnificent in scope, supernatural in nature and just as evil was destroyed back in Old Testament times, the author reveals, God still hears the imprecatory prayers of his Saints and answers prayers with a righteous cause. Good triumphs over evil in this magnificently written novel, while lives are forever changed in the process.

A highly recommended book not just because of the cause, but because it is superbly written from the opening page to the closing page. As was stated in the opening sentence of this review, "God's Avenger Michael, The Imprecatory Angel" is a movie in the making.

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.

About The Book, And The Beat Goes On.

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.

What does love have to do with this? LOVE constantly asks us the question: "How are YOU doing?" This was asked of Adam after eating of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. And of Cain after his heart burned in anger over the rejection of his offering. How about Saul of Tarsus on his persecution journey towards Damascus?

There are so many examples of God demonstrating His providential care, concern, and compassion in the Scriptures. The thing to remember here is that even if it does not make sense, respond and react TRUTHFULLY with Him! Love cannot do it's great work without us being honest and letting God know how we feel.

So....HOW ARE YOU DOING?

These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

Word is Bond

2009-11-04T07:54:00.000-08:00

He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
Psalm 111:5

The Scriptures declare that God is not a respector of persons. What we can take from that is that He is available and accessible to all who believe and fear Him. The fear the Bible speaks of here is not the kind of fear that you may find in horror stories; it describes a sense of respect not because of any obligation, but because you desire to make yourself available to Him fully as the God of all creation.

A covenant takes two parties in order for it to take effect. God, in His perfect state has never failed to keep His end of the bargain. God’s provisions and blessings have always been dependent upon whether or not we are in right standing with Him. In this age, the ONLY way for us to get in line to receive His gifts, blessings, and eternal provisions is through Jesus Christ!

The Son of God, Himself, declares to be the bread of life and the supply of living water that is capable of satisfying the deepest thirst. It is available for the taking, we must simply accept and believe by and in faith.

Prayer: Dear God, continue to share with us your great examples of what it means to keep promises and to live with integrity. May Your Spirit be the guide and driving force in our lives and take us in the direction of your abundant and bountiful blessings. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Darkness flees, bondage's are broken, lives are changed, and freedom rains. May you be blessed as God's favor touches your life.

May the favor of God manifest in your life through Christ the Hope of Glory.

When The Precepts Of Men Micro Manage The Flock Of God

2009-10-28T15:50:00.001-07:00

Every church that I have ever attended had a prayer ministry. Prayer is one of the heart beats of the church. Prayer is important, and Jesus said "My House shall be called a house of prayer". There are many scriptures in the Bible that speak of prayer from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelations. There are many accounts of Christ praying, the Apostles praying, and also many accounts within the old testament about prayer.

Prayer in many ways is the lifeline of our communication with God. Through prayer we communicate with God, make our requests known to Him, enter into His presence and stand the gap as watchmen for others. It is good to pray for others. In fact, it is a humble privilege to pray for others.

In the book of Acts prayer and the laying on of hands are mentioned in various sections of scripture. In many church's today prayer and the laying on of hands is actively pursued and the ministry of the Holy Spirit flows freely.

Actually God made prayer very simple. It doesn't take some spiritual giant to pray for people. It just takes a willing vessel to step out in faith and allow the Holy Spirit to be the Holy Spirit. It's when fear, lack of faith, a religious spirit, the precepts of men and having a good church service show gets in the way and hinders the Holy Spirit, that prayer ministries become in affective. That well scripted situations.

It amazes me how we sometimes turn the Kingdom of God into this well micro managed process as if we could add something to it. It amazes me how we sometimes take the simplest of things and make them difficult and within that process diminish the power of such and the anointing of God among us. I somehow don't think Jesus had that in mind.

What is Worship?

2009-10-26T06:30:00.000-07:00

Is worship something that we fit into a schedule? Is worship something that we do simply because others are seen doing it? Do we worship to make ourselves feel good? Do we worship to convince others of living our lives the right way?

There could be many other questions to ask about worship, but the question we should ask is: What is TRUE worship?

There are so many styles and ways to worship, but what is key is that worship focuses on GOD and NOT self! When you move away from the traps of self-pity, gluttony, covetousness, and the rest of those popular sins, then have you begun taking the steps towards true worship with God. Why not try it out now? Simply thank Him for waking you up and giving you life to live today with!

Thank God For Great Worship Leaders & Christian Music

2009-10-20T16:18:00.001-07:00

Thank God for all the wonderful Christian artists, musicians and song writers that give us such awesome praise and worship music. Just imagine a church service without great worship music to worship the Lord to. Personally for me without praise and worship, I'd be lost. Over the years, we all have been blessed through various artists, groups and worship songs. I'm sure that you have your favorite artists, groups and various praise and worship songs.

Here are some great sites that showcase some great praise and worship music. One is Christian Music which has an excellent website. Another is Vineyard Music which is one of my favorites and another is Maranatha Music which is also another excellent ministry site.

Remember, it is good to worship the Lord.

A Brief Word on Separation

2009-10-19T07:40:00.000-07:00

Jesus declares in the Bible that a house divided against itself cannot stand. This kind of separation has been causing havoc in the body of Christ. What do I mean?

For example, during the 20th century, you would often find different churches catering to different groups of people depending on race and/or socioeconomic status. While much progress has been made to improve relations in these areas, there are still denominational divides found within the family of God!

These divisions are often selfish and take the focus away from Jesus Christ! The separation that God presents to us is removing the old man (who lusted after the world and its ways) and putting on the new man (who is in Christ Jesus). With the world getting worse by the moment, we must strive to attain the unity of the faith Paul mentions in his letter to the Cortinthian church!

Our message, music, preaching, worship, and our lives should reflect our diversity, but, ultimately, our union to the One and Only Living God!

God Can Turn The Worst Of Situations Into Blessings

2009-10-12T18:30:00.001-07:00

Very few people look towards God when things are going well. Truth is they are usually to busy and consumed to think about God. However, when times become difficult or troubles come, that's when we all seem to call out to God. Sometimes God takes the worst of situations and circumstances and turns them into blessings. We of course can't see this in the beginnings or as it's unfolding, but as time passes we do.

If your encountering difficulties let me encourage you to call out to God through times of prayer, worship and simply taking the time to share fellowship with Him. You just might find all your difficulties being turned into blessings as time passes.

Christianity 101

2009-10-09T14:21:00.001-07:00

Did you know that the name Jesus occurs 983 times in 942 verses in the KJV Bible? That is a lot of times within a lot of verses. Did you know that the word Lord occurs 7970 times in 6749 verses in the KJV and that God is mentioned 4473 times in 3893 verses in the KJV?

Studying the Bible can be both exciting and rewarding. Performing word searches can also be exciting, rewarding and can really expand your knowledge of scripture. Take for example the word love. If you were to perform a word search on the word love and study only those scriptures whereas the word love is mentioned. You'd get quite a overview of all the scriptures regarding love.

It's easy, fun and worth performing word searches. Simply visit www.blueletterbible.com and have fun.

Seeing what God Sees

2009-10-09T10:34:00.000-07:00

What happens when you find yourself so weighed down by guilt that it becomes difficult to see the big picture? Sometimes, we may ask God how come He loves us the way that He does and is always ready to forgive and restore. If we look to our relationship with Jesus as a marriage (as illustrated throughout the New Testament), we may find some insight.

One of the things that is needed for a marriage to truly last is that both bride and groom must be able to find the qualities and features that ATTRACT them to one another despite their actions. This is also something we demonstrate (or should, at least) to our children as they are being raised. From a spiritual standpoint, the reason that God is able to love us, even though we still struggle with sin everyday, is because He sees something that is ATTRACTIVE!

What is it you may ask? It is His breath of life He gave each person. It is His Holy Spirit that He freely offers to all who accept His Son, Jesus, as Lord and Savior. It is the fact that, out of ALL creation, He took the time to FORM, MOLD, and SHAPE us in His IMAGE and LIKENESS! It is important for us to look to the Word of God and pray in the Holy Ghost (in Jesus' name) so that He can change the way we view ourselves in the valleys of sin.

Keep this important nugget of wisdom in your mind and pray that it may flow into the deepest chambers of your heart!

Ceaseless Prayer

2009-10-05T06:17:00.000-07:00

Pray without ceasing.
1 Thessalonians 5:17

How is it that we can pray without ceasing? Prayer goes beyond just talking or crying out to God and invokes His power and presence into your situation. Most of us do not talk while we are sleep or even during certain times of the day. What is able to keep us in a state of “ceaseless prayer”?

Beloved, your daily life should be a testimony to Christ and the Word of God. Keeping a true testimony requires you to stay connected, spiritually, to the Spirit of God; allowing God to be present. We are not only to be hearers, but doers of the Word because there are many who are watching our lives.

A right testimony comes from obeying the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. He will be directing your line of communication to God, with Jesus as your Mediator. Never make this a substitute for setting aside time in your prayer closet to “have a little talk with Jesus.”

Ordered Steps

2009-10-04T19:34:00.001-07:00

Today, my mother-in-law and I celebrated our birthday (which is on the same day!) at my house. She has been very ill for a number of years before I met and married my wife and I could not help but notice her faith and devotion to the Lord, Jesus Christ. She has been determined to have both of our families together for quite some time and each of us were excited and elated to share such a wonder occasion together.

We partook off both regular food and SPIRITUAL food (sharing song, Scripture, and communion). After taking communion as a family, I said these words to my mother-in-law:

- God does not promise us a life free of pain, but He does promise that His grace is sufficient for us

- God does not promise us a life free of problems, but He does promise never to leave us nor forsake us

- God does not promise us that our enemies will be smaller than us, but He does promise that greater is He that's in us, than they that are in the world!

Beloved, take a moment out of your life to ask the Lord to direct your steps...He won't lead you wrong!

What Path Are We Being Led Down

2009-10-03T14:56:00.001-07:00

The more and more I hear the news reports regarding world leaders, the more I wounder what path they are leading us all down. Even here in the United States, there are times when I wonder where are leaders are leading us. Thank God that we do have some leaders of integrity that truly care about the American people. Of course as leaders, they are merely men and men can and do make mistakes. Occasionally we hear of those mistakes, as powerful men find their careers coming to an end.

Yet where are our leaders leading us? Is America prospering as a nation and people? Are Americans better off today than they were 5 years ago, or 10 years ago? Are Americans more secure financially? or is America and the American people encountering the fruit of poor leadership?

It's time to pray that God puts Godly leaders, leaders of honor and leaders of integrity into office.

There are many that see God as this Holy Righteous God of judgement. God is Holy, Righteous and a God of judgment, however God is also a God of love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion. When God sent Jesus to die on the cross for the sins of the world, God made a way for us to receive forgiveness. When we except the fact that Christ died on the cross for our sins and that through Christ we have forgiveness of sins, we start to understand and see that God is a God of love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion. Now that's good news!

Are You Hungry or Thirsty?

2009-09-29T07:46:00.000-07:00

Recently, my wife asked me a very profound question which, honestly, I completely misunderstood at first. She asked what does Jesus find interesting about her (or anyone else for that matter). Wrongly so, I proceeded to give what I felt were biblical answers. After creating an emotional firestorm of anger because I did not understand her, the Holy Spirit stopped me dead in my tracks.

Later that evening, before bed, I was led to John' s gospel account the 3rd chapter. I encourage you to read through this book in its entirety. God revealed to us ultimately that JESUS spends a great deal of time with those who are THIRSTY or HUNGRY. Jesus promises that the water he offers will never leave you thirsty.

The thought to take away from this is that while the message of Christ, the Gospel, has a UNIVERSAL interest...it is the hungry and thirsty for whom Jesus takes a PERSONAL interest in.

Home Made Chocolate Chip Cookies & Kids

Our daughter loves sweets, as do most children. My wife loves chocolate chip cookies and milk. Every once in a while the two of them make home made chocolate chip cookies which is a blast to see. You see, our five year old, well she has arrived. She has her mothers independence, her mother's I know it all attitude and to watch the two of them baking together is funny. As I'm writing this, I'm reminded of the Ginger Bread cookies with all the dressings that were as hard as cement after they came out of the oven. Thank God the chocolate chip cookies don't turn out that way. It's fun to spend quality time with the kids cooking cookies and then sitting around with them watching them dip them into milk.

The "What" vs. The "Why"

2009-09-24T07:49:00.000-07:00

In life, it is important not only to know WHAT you believe, but WHY you believe it in the first place. This concept could not be more crucial for the Christian. The idea that ACTIONS speak louder than words is demonstrated throughtout Scripture. Why else would James (half-brother of Christ) declare for us to be DOERS of the Word and not just hearers?

Here is a thought to keep in mind:

- The WHAT focuses inward, while the WHY focuses outward
- The WHAT is selfish, while the WHY is selfless

A time must come in the Christian walk, where one moves from the WHAT to the WHY. The Apostle Paul points out that young Christians drink milk and the mature eat the meat. What's that mean? It means that the Holy Spirit of God must be allowed to transform and transition you towards a direction of spiritual maturity and intimacy with Him!

In the words of Paul to Timothy: STUDY to show yourself approved unto God!

Drinking, Driving & The Consequences

2009-09-23T18:17:00.001-07:00

I can remember as a child my dad and uncles drinking beer while driving. The old brown paper bag days. Of course back them if you got pulled over, they basically made you dump it out and didn't hassle you as long as you were not drunk. Times have changed.

These days if you get caught with a open container, the consequences are severe. You can loose your drivers license, get your car impounded and get taken to the pokie. If your drunk, things get even worse. Then there's fines, increased auto insurance rates, the embarrasement of the ordeal, court and other situations. Bottom line, don't drink and drive.

Yet if you think about it, who would want to drink and drive? You place your life in danger, the lives of those in your car and other motorists in danger. It just makes no sense to risk so much. Please, don't drink and drive.

Remember, there's nothing more precious than life.

The Importance of Remembrance

2009-09-23T11:18:00.000-07:00

Why did God give us the Bible? Was it to waste our time? Did He do this because He had nothing better to do? The answer to both questions is a resounding NO! The Lord passed on to us the Scriptures so that we know and REMEMBER who He is and what He has done and continues to do today.

Check this out:
- Remember appears 148 times in the KJV Bible
- Remember appears 167 times in the NIV Bible

Based on these numbers, God must mark remembering pretty high on His list!

Remembrance is an issue for us because we are clouded by the things which cause our focus to turn from the living God to ourselves. We often develop a “selective” memory when trials and trouble come to our doorstep.

God has blessed many of us with good memory and we are expected to use it responsibly! He expects us to know and remember the GOOD in all that happens. What better way to train that brain of ours than getting deep into His Word, the Bible.

Lastly, in order for any memories to have a lasting effect, they must enter your heart! King David, in the Psalms, says that he has hid God’s word in his heart to NOT sin against Him.

Work on this now as tribulations wait for no man!

An Hour A Day Brings Knowledge

Do you like learning about things? They say that knowledge is powerful when applied properly. From experience over the many years of my life, I have found that my pursuit in learning about simple things like auto mechanics, writing, graphic designs and the Internet has helped me many times and saved me lots of money.

Just imagine if you picked a subject or topic and Googled it every day and read about it for one hour each day. One year later, you would have 356 hours of studies around that one topic. Maybe you could pick something that has to do with your career, your family, raising children, or about art or painting. Just imagine all the knowledge and information you would gain. Now just think of something dear to you or interesting and go for it.

It's good to follow others. We all sometimes need leadership. It's also good to be a part of a good cause, movement or something that has worth to it. However, if we get stuck in the habit of following others and their dreams, we just might fall short in pursing the very dreams and call of the Lord in our own lives. Sometimes God calls us to follow others and their dreams. However, many times the Lord after seasons of preparation will call us to follow the very dreams that He has imparted to us.

When Fear Grips One's Life

2009-09-19T15:12:00.001-07:00

Fear can cripple a person and become a controlling factor in their life. Of course there is natural fear that we all occasionally encounter. However, when fear starts to become a controlling factor in one's life as a stronghold, there's something wrong.

There is a scripture that basically states "you have not been given a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind". Note the word spirit. You see sometimes overwhelming strongholds of fear are exactly that. A spirit. A evil, wicked and unclean spirit that has rooted deeply within a person. When this happens it requires deliverance to be set free of that spirit. It requires the help of God.

If you are finding your life being controlled by un natural fear, contact a local church and talk with someone. They can help you. They will be able to counsel you, give you scriptural advice, pray for you and God can use them to set you free.

Blessings, and may the peace of God rain in your life

When Things Start Becoming Difficult

2009-09-13T21:23:00.001-07:00

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.

Dangerous Emotional Characteristics

2009-09-11T14:24:00.001-07:00

Anger rages like a fire. It is destructive and can start major life fires. For the angry man or woman that daily deals with anger, frustrations gone wild and bitterness. These things wage war on their lives and the lives of others around them. Fires get started, fired that devour. When anger gets out of control and starts becoming deeply rooted it takes a persons character over. If un checked or dealt with, it also affects that persons health. Anger is simply not healthy fruit.

Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy? Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

Anger is not a fruit of God's Spirit.

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!

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.

When That Old Man Rises Up

2009-09-09T13:40:00.001-07:00

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.

Encounters Beyond Your Wildest Dreams

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

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.

When Evil Rises Against Us

2009-09-07T17:09:00.001-07:00

The word evil or wickedness for that matter is rarely used these days. However there is evil and wickedness in the world. There are also principalities, powers and spiritual wickedness in high places that wage war against mankind. The bible speaks of evil and wickedness from Genesis to the book of Revelations and gives us insight in how to deal with it. But what if you've never read the bible and you're in a battle against evil and wicked forces that have come against you, your life, your family and your home?

If you haven't read on these subjects here's a easy way to get started. Just visit blueletterbible.com and perform a word search on evil or wickedness. You could also perform word searches on other words like love, savior, Christ, salvation and many other words. It's fun and filled with wisdom.

Blessings in the love of Christ

Stories Of Success

2009-09-06T21:48:00.000-07:00

Life is filled with stories of success that have been authored by many people. However many times these story writers have one thing in common and that is that success escapes them. Many times they impress others with the success of someone else or a relative as if they have laid claim to such. Other times financial success is passed down to some and they have a tendacy to impress others not with what they earned, but what was given to them. If one performs a word search on the Internet for success, 100's of thousands of links will come forth all giving you the secret formula for success.

There is one scripture in the word of God with the word success. Imagine that. It reads "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."

The Road Map To Success On Earth And Heavenly Blessings

2009-09-05T16:05:00.000-07:00

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.

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

Blessings, in Christ and His Words.

Put A Smile On Your Child's Face

2009-09-04T16:46:00.001-07:00

This evening we are attending a special celebration gathering. Some worship, lots of great food and fellowship and of course all the kids will have a blast. All week long my daughter has been counting the days with great excitement about tonight's gathering. She's only five, yet she's so excited about attending tonight. Just the thought and excitement of attending has brought her happiness.

It's such a blessing to see children smile and filled with excitement and joy. Remember those days.

Blessings, in the joy of the Holy Ghost.

Church Gone Wild

2009-09-04T12:57:00.001-07:00

It amazes me some of the things that are said of church people. Yes, they shout, sing, clap, dance, laugh, have fun and get pretty crazy at times. Now if you do those things in a bar, at a football game, a basketball game or any other sports gathering, well it's perfectly OK. If you do it over a six pack, you're cool. If you do it at a party where every one's intoxicated, it's acceptable. But church? No way, right?

Church, gone wild. Church should be filled with joy, for the joy of the Lord is our strength. Church should be overflowing and filled with joy. The worshippers should be leaping with joy, shouting, clapping, dancing and having a blast. Besides, who likes a boaring church?

Blessings, in the joy of the Lord

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.

Imaginations Of The Mind

2009-08-28T16:46:00.000-07:00

Sometime ago this woman shared some of her encounters with God with me and my wife. I always love hearing the witness and testimonies of others as they share Kingdom experiences and all about Jesus. However in this one situation the woman shared how God has taken her throughout the universe. That she's seen the planet pluto, mars, and was shown the vastness of the milky way. Interesting how the human mind works.

Overcoming Fear

Finding Freedom That Leads To Victory!

However if you are finding your days and life being ruled by nagging thoughts, fear and anxiety. Let me encourage you to call upon the name of Jesus. For Jesus can set you free and deliver you from such things. I also encourage you to find a local church and start attending.

It's Not That Easy To Believe

2009-08-05T13:30:00.001-07:00

Sometimes it's not easy to believe. Many have tried and fallen short. I mean think of it, Christianity, salvation, redemption, eternal life. It's all based on the belief that Jesus died and was raised from the dead. Now, that takes faith.

There are many things in the bible, the scriptures, that are hard to believe. A axe head floating on water, healing's, miracles, blind eye's seeing, and so on.

Yet there is something within just about every human being that does believe that there is a God. It's in the DNA.

There Is Only But One

2009-06-12T18:54:00.001-07:00

Sometimes people let you down. Sometimes intentionally and other times un intentionally. Sometimes people wave gifts in front of you and come across as friends only to later show their true colors. Sometimes friendships prove to be less that friendships.

There is one that sticks closer than a brother. His name is Jesus, and he will never leave you, nor forsake you.

The Great Calm

Mat 8:24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

Mat 8:25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

Mat 8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

Mat 8:27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

When Taking A Deep Breath Helps

Sometimes life seems picture perfect and other times it seems cloudy and mucky. There are great days, good days and well those days that just seem to be going no where.

That's when taking a deep breath, re thinking things and simply taking a hard look at things helps put things into perspective.

It's always better to look at things with a clear mind, through clear eye's and less all the frustrations and emotions.

Breath Deeply!

Called To Live In Victory As More Than Conquerors

2009-05-21T14:01:00.001-07:00

Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Rom 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Rom 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Have you ever been there? Those times when it's like a war zone in your mind as the decision making process unfolds. Ouch!

Prayer changes things!

2009-05-08T17:52:00.001-07:00

Do you believe in the second coming, the return of Christ? Do you believe that Jesus is soon to return as stated in the scriptures? Are you living your life as if tomorrow the Lord might return? Have we entered into the end of days as mentioned in scripture?

What do you believe in your heart? Is Jesus your Lord, Savior and King? If you died today would do you believe that you would live eternally with Christ in heaven?

Make sure your eternal salvation is secure. Know. The Lord made it quite simple.

Standing In & On Christ

2009-05-08T17:07:00.001-07:00

As Christian's we don't stand on sand that sinks, but on Christ who is the ROCK. So what is the purpose of my saying that? To stir the spirit within you and to bring to remembrance that you are more than a conqueror in and through Christ Jesus. That while the weapons against you may form, they shall not prosper. That your weapons are not weak, but mighty to the pulling down of strongholds.

You are called to overcome and God has given you the ways and means to overcome and live a victorious life in and through Christ.
