Activeword.org - Devotional: "The Perfect Path

He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the LORD. (Proverbs 18:22 NKJV)

It's the biggest decision you can make aside from your choice to follow Christ. Whom you choose to marry will affect the rest of your earthly existence and impact the generations that follow from this union. This leads to a sobering and perhaps even a scary thought: What if I make the wrong choice? God's Word gives us some guiding wisdom when it comes to such an important decision: He who finds a wife finds a good thing.

The Hebrew word Solomon chose here for finds means 'to find something along the way.' When the Scriptures make reference to a person's way, it's usually describing the course or path that God has appointed for his or her life. The implication of this proverb is that a son or daughter of God will find a mate as he or she is walking along the path He has appointed. I've seen this lived out several times as faithful followers find Mr. or Mrs. Right while serving in ministry.

This is a stark contrast to the world's wisdom when it comes to meeting your mate. Men and women are forced into desperation mode as though everything rests on them. They have to look just right and be at just the right place at just the right time if they have any hope of meeting the right one. How exhausting and futile! It's far bet"

BREITBART.COM - Mexico's Fox Calls Bush to Discuss Border: "She said Fox 'reached out' to Bush, but she did not know how long the call lasted or the time it occurred.

A news release from Fox's office said the Mexican president initiated the call and characterized Bush as 'analyzing the administrative and logistical support of part of the National Guard, not the army, to help police on the border.'"

WorldNetDaily: Jesus and the skeptic, part 2

WorldNetDaily: Jesus and the skeptic, part 2: "I was a guest on 'Larry King Live' a while back, and the discussion turned to the very topic I am addressing in this article. I told Larry King about a lady who had come to our church one Sunday morning after discovering she had breast cancer. She had seen our television program and wanted to find out how to get right in her relationship with God. The Lord had allowed this tragedy to get her attention. Larry interrupted me and asked, 'How do you know it's not a crutch? I mean, I have breast cancer; I've got to pray to something.'

I responded, 'Thank God for that crutch. Larry, He's not a crutch to me; He's a whole hospital.'

Larry smiled and said, 'Good line!' Then he turned to his director and said, 'Write that down.' But it wasn't a line. It was the truth. The gospel truth. "
