I am not the only one who has had this experience. I was praying through a prayer list today and something distracted me. I continued to go down the list without my full attention. I regularly pray through a number of prayer lists. I have a list of movie people. I have a list of authors I ask God to work through. I pray for lost people God has brought into my life. I pray daily for a list of missionaries around the world. And it can be…

Many grandparents want ideas of how to be involved in their grandkids lives. Today I want to share a guest blog that I found on the 1 Corinthians 13 Parenting blog." The link is http://www.1corinthians13parenting.com.

Christian grandparents have a deep…

"In this modern world we live in, love is ended before it's begun."  Commitment--an old-fashioned word--is still the key to lasting marriages and enduring relationships. God's love is the ultimate example.

“Thrice blest whose lives are faithful prayers, Whose loves in higher love endure;

What souls possess themselves so…

Kip Miller, CEO and President, Eastern Industrial spoke at The Marketplace Luncheon and The Jacksonville Business Fellowship. Mr. Miller uses his business to promote compassionate business practices and a work environment in which employees are recognized and encouraged for the unique, creative capabilities they contribute to the team characterize it. Interwoven in this metamorphosis is the fundamental knowing that all individuals–regardless of position, are deserving of respect; that…

Two specialist surgeons in my county accept my type of medical insurance. I used Dr. X on my first surgery and despite the fact that he was very highly rated and recommended by my physician assistant, I was not pleased. It was not just him, but his entire staff that made me uneasy with their attitude and comments. So, on surgery #2, I went with a prayed-up, faith-based decision rather than the prevailing logic, and chose the lesser rated, and not-recommended-by-my-physician-assistant, Dr.…

WELCOME to the intercessors who have joined the list recently.



May God arise, may his enemies be scattered; may his foes flee before him. Summon your power, God; show us your strength, our God, as you have done before. (Psalm 68:1,28 NIV)

In a nightmarish world, it's good now and then to dream of heaven.

The American Center For Law and Justice has posted  a  petition for all to sign.

It reads,  The  Obama admin.  is seeking to put  monitors in the newsrooms of every  major  media  outlet in the country.    One FCC  commissioner says he fears these monitors would be used in pressuring media  organizations into  covering certain stories.

It's  exactly as dangerous as it sounds,  and it could be used to  cripple  free speech and  freedom of the press  in America.

"You are not your own… For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

Whether we like it or not, there are times when we experience mistreatment by others. It can be a family member who says something against us, or a co-worker who tries to ruin our reputation in some way and blocks our goals to advancement in our workplace. Or it can be a multitude of other…

Life is full of ups and downs because we are human. When we remember that Jesus

said, “I am with you” our perspective changes radically. Instead of bemoaning our

circumstances we can look to him for help. The reassurance of God’s presence and

the glorious hope of heaven is the perspective we need.

Paul gives us a prescription to…

“Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many;

not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.”…

The publisher of Dr. Herbert Lockyer’s book, All the Prayers of the Bible, suggests there are no fewer 650 prayers in Scripture with 450 recorded answers. Can you imagine if all of our prayers were recorded and later published for the world to read? I shudder at the thought!

We can be relatively sure that all of the prayers of great men and women in the Bible were not documented for posterity, but our heavenly Father obviously felt some were significant enough to be available…

The believer's role in advancing the Kingdom of God is described by Jesus in Luke 10:1-9. In this passage Jesus instructs His disciples to go into cities and do four things which constitute the Prayer Evangelism model that Bishop Vaughn McLaughlin engaged us tonight to know the proper order to winning souls:

1. Bless the people they meet: 
Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house'.
2. Fellowship with them: 
Stay in that house, eating and drinking…

The Resolution gave the Commission a 12-month mandate to investigate systematic and widespread human rights abuses in…
