God encourages us to pray

June 30th, 2009

From God's Word...
Jeremiah 33:3

‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

God encourages us to pray. They tell us that prayer is a pious exercise which has no influence except upon the mind engaged in it. We know better. Our experience gives the lie a thousand times over to this infidel assertion. Here Jehovah, the living God, distinctly promises to answer the prayer of His servant. Let us call upon Him again and admit no doubt upon the question of His hearing us and answering us. He that made the ear, shall He not hear? He that gave parents a love to their children, will He not listen to the cries of His own sons and daughters!

God will answer His pleading people in their anguish. He has wonders in store for them. What they have never seen, heard of, or dreamed of, He will do for them. He will invent new blessings if needful. He will ransack sea and land to feed them: He will send every angel out of heaven to succor them if their distress requires it. He will astound us with His grace and make us feel that it was never before done in this fashion. All He asks of us is that we will call upon Him. He cannot ask less of us. Let us cheerfully render Him our prayers at once.

- Charles Spurgeon

Chasing the wind

June 27th, 2009

The wind I once chased
now blows cold in my face.
How did I ever end up in this place?

Just to see the light of Home
I would give up all I own
To know that I am not alone.

From God's Word...
Ecclesiastes 1:14

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

Luke 15:20-24

“And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
“But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.

From porn star to missionary?

June 25th, 2009

Yes!

Patrice - formerly known as NADIA STYLES - was still doing porn less than a year ago. But God rescued her and now she’s out - and sharing her story of God’s love to those still in the porn industry. She spent 5 long years in porn and prostitution and it got her nothing but pain and empty promises. But God keeps his promises and nothing is impossible with God. How her life has changed in these last few months!!! Listen to a recent interview where Patrice talks about her porn past and her present work with The Pink Cross Foundation…

We stand for what’s right no matter the cost

Amazing Grace - William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery

The cost to anyone taking a stand against the spirit of the age, and against “the great Goddess Interest,” as Wesley had warned, was real indeed. In the civil rights battles in the United States in the last century, Jackie Robinson and the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., to name just two, endured countless verbal attacks and many death threats.
