Prayer

"We give thanks to God always for all of you, making mention of you in our prayers". (1 Thessalonians 1:2) Do you give thanks to God for those He has placed in your life, even though that person may not be a real joy to deal with? Do you pray for someone without knowing why you are praying for them, only to find out that, they were in dire need of prayer and intercession? God places people on our hearts so we may stand in the gap, in prayer for even the unknown things. many times I have prayed for someone, only to find out, they really needed it. Never discard an impression from God as your thought and not His. After all, the more we pray, the more we stand before His Throne and the more we get to know Him and His love. So know for sure, that someone on this list, or someone across the globe, myself, is in prayer for you at any given moment when God places you on a praying heart.

Lord God, thank You for the love and compassion You have for me, and may I show that love and compassion to others. Thank You for the gift of prayer and especially for the times You place someone on my heart to pray for. Thank You for those who pray for me, sometimes inadvertently, not knowing why, yet continue to lift my needs and concerns to You. Bless each one here today, meet their needs and provide for their comfort. This is my prayer in Jesus name, amen.

Have a great day.

Higher beat rocks Furay: As a founding member of Buffalo Springfield and Poco

The Second Commandment Republicans - TIME

The Second Commandment Republicans - TIME: "But there is a striking change in the 2008 Republican presidential field. There are two candidates with strong religious credentials, Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas and former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, and both spend far more time talking about good works than about sin, although each has the requisite positions on abortion and gay marriage. Indeed, it was Huckabee who reminded me of Chesterton's lament. 'I'm a 'grace' Christian,' Huckabee told me over lunch recently, 'not a 'law' Christian. The Second Commandment--do unto others--is the basic tenet of my faith. And so I believe that life begins at conception, but I don't believe it ends at birth. I believe we have a responsibility to feed the hungry, to provide a good education, a safe neighborhood, health care ... That's why I talk so much about the need for music and art programs in our schools. I know some conservatives think it's foolish, but I just believe it's necessary to build whole, creative individuals.'"

The Ultimate Deal by Steve Arterburn

New Life Ministries: 1-800-NEW-LIFE: "The Ultimate Deal

by Steve Arterburn

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. - 1 Chronicles 29:11

There’s an old story of a certain young boy who wrote a letter to God about the Christmas presents he wanted: “I’ve been good for six months now,” wrote the lad. Then, after some reflection, he erased six months and scribbled in a more modest three months. After some more reflection he erased that too, and replaced it with two weeks. After yet another pause, he erased that too.

The boy then rose from the table, went over to the nativity scene on the mantle, grabbed the figure of Mary, and returned triumphantly to his writing. This happy change of events required an entirely new draft of the letter. It began: “Dear God, if you ever want to see your mother again . . .”

Many things change between childhood and maturity. But often not our misguided attempts to cut deals with God. God has given us the ultimate deal . . . accept his gracious gift of salvation provided through His son, Jesus, and live eternally with Him. There’s really no dealing beyond that, or better than that.

“I gave in and admitted that God was God.” - C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)"

Pastor Bob, can a woman serve as a pastor in the church?

Designer Genes

Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home. —1 Corinthians 14:34–35 (NKJV)

Not a month goes by that I don't receive a question from someone in the church who wants to know, "Pastor Bob, can a woman serve as a pastor in the church?" God's Word does give us an answer to this question. But first we need to take note of a simple fact that is absolutely necessary in order to understand God's heart on this important issue: men and women are different. Check out the chart that secular science has put together listing the different types of energies typically expressed by women and men:

Female Energy ........ Male Energy
caring ........ accepting
understanding ........ appreciative
respectful ........ trusting
feeling ........ analytical
emotional ........ logical
intuitive ........ rational
nurturing ........ efficient
idealistic ........ practical
vulnerable ........ aggressive

Even beyond this, we know that men and women aren't the same because God's Word declares that they were designed to be different:

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. (Genesis 1:27 NKJV)

We need to agree on this because once we acknowledge the natural differences in men and women, it makes sense that their roles in the church shouldn't be the same. The Bible tells us that men have been called to be the leaders in the home and in the house of God (1 Corinthians 11:3; 1 Timothy 2:11). Scripture also teaches that women are called to support and follow their leadership (Ephesians 5:22; 1 Timothy 2:12).

God reserves the pastoral position within the body of Christ for men because even though men and women are equal in their importance, they are different in their performance. His heart is that both would be blessed as they embrace their divinely designed differences.

DIG - Why did God create men and women to be different?

DISCOVER - How does this truth impact your life?

DISPLAY - How would you answer the question, "Can a woman be a pastor?"

Harvest Crusades ::: Raleigh 2007

A prophetic dream on Wednesday, May 30

The moral of the story is “A home fellowship group is like the Lord's munition depot for spiritual warfare where we are equipped to do battle.”

A trusted brother in the Lord has prayerfully confirmed to me that I had a prophetic dream. Please read about my dream, then prayerfully consider if the Lord would lead you to offer some feedback.

I dreamed, “A week earlier I was called to help a group in setting up a restaurant. I did various tasks in the kitchen including taking a care of the trash. A week later I received a homemade DVD from the group titled, Operations. I played the video and it told of an incident that happened to group. The group had a program which they would pick up people at the church in a bus then take them to the restaurant. One dark night a group leader was escorting the bus on a moped. The moped was riding closely in front of the bus when he started warning the bus driver to slow down. They didn't not know why but did so. The traffic was heavy on the streets of Philadelphia that night. Then suddenly several serious car accidents happened around the bus. The home group pour out of the bus to assist the victims. As results of the quick response, many lives were saved. Also, they shared the Gospel in deed and word. They continued to restaurant and began asking themselves why did this happen. The group didn't know why this happen to them. As they retold the story and through some prayer time, it was revealed to them that because they were equipped the Lord use them. They continue to praise the Lord God at the restaurant.”

As I was waking up the Lord spoke to me and told to me to go share this dream with this trusted brother. I was to ask him for an interpretation. I know he has the gift of interpretation because he shared a dream he had in front the church as we were sending him on a short term mission trip. As coincident this brother was from the Delaware Valley like me.

In my morning devotions the Lord gave me this Scripture: Acts 2:17
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.”(NKJV)

We are in the last days and Lord can give prophetic dream even to a wretched sinner like me.

This trusted brother told me to share this my home fellowship group leader and ask about share it with my group. I don't know why. But, I have the fear of Jonah. Acts 2:12 “Whatever could this mean?” (NKJV)

Please only post a comment to this if you are prayerfully lead by the Lord because my heart is so broken.

CitizenLink: eHarmony Sued for Only Matching Men and Women

CitizenLink: eHarmony Sued for Only Matching Men and Women: "eHarmony Sued for Only Matching Men and Women

The fourth-largest matchmaking Web site is being sued because it pairs only heterosexual couples.

Linda Carlson of California sued eHarmony in Los Angeles County Superior Court after she tried to meet a woman on the site this year. The suit claims eHarmony violates a state law barring discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Neil Clark Warren, founder of eHarmony, told USA Today that his site promotes heterosexual marriage, about which he has done extensive research. He said he does not know enough about gay and lesbian relationships to do same-sex matching.

It 'calls for some very careful thinking. Very careful research,' he told the newspaper. He adds that same-sex marriage is illegal in most states. 'We don't really want to participate in something that's illegal.'"

'It's laughable to suggest that I used capital letters to intimidate anyone when I use them all the time to emphasize points,' David Duncan told the Scotsman. 'I sometimes highlight words with color. Is that offensive?'"

Rush Meets Former President Bill Clinton

Rush Meets Former President Bill Clinton: "This looming presence, I look up, and, golly, if it isn't former President Bill Clinton. He's got a big smile on his face, and I look up, and I imagine I was somewhat startled. I looked up, and I couldn't hear what he was saying because of the noise in there. So I'm turning my head, my left ear to him so I could hear a little bit more, and he said, 'You're looking great. You're tan, fit, you look very good out there.' I reached out my hand, 'Mr. President, it's a pleasure to meet you.' We shook hands and so forth, and he hung around for I guess two or three minutes, maybe five. I lost track of time. Then he and his party went and sat at a table behind me and to the left.
