Faith Like Potatoes

We just purchased this DVD yesterday and we watched it last night. This movie is based on a true story of Angus and Jill Buchan who founded Shalom Ministries in South Africa amongst the Zulu tribes. The Buchan's are just regular folks - farmers. Watch this movie and be in awe of what our great and mighty God does with us regular folk as we offer Him, our 5 loaves and 2 fish! I HIGHLY recommend this movie. A couple of times, Angus uses the "bl----" word to curse; but this is prior to his conversion. Angus and Jill are still living lives totally abandoned to Christ and live in a way that would make us "westerners" a bit ashamed, BUT in a way that causes us to praise God, repent of our laziness and lack of spiritual fervor. There is also a documentary of Angus and Jill in the Special Features section of the DVD - which by the way is so powerful! When you watch it, you'll feel like you're reading the book of Acts as you see Scripture being lived o...

Why Is It "Good" Friday?

Today is GOOD Friday. Why do we call this day "good"? What's so good about it? Let's first take a look at the definition of the word good . good n . ~ moral righteousness, excellent; adj . ~ virtuous, righteous, pure, untainted, unspoiled, reliable, sufficient. Nearly 2,000 years ago, our Lord and Savior was brutally beaten, his beard was ripped off his face, He was spit on, utterly rejected; a murderer was considered better than Him; Jesus was mocked, stripped naked before the world, nailed to a cross of shame between two thieves, died and was buried. To give us a better understanding, let's read Psalm 22, which is where King David, by the power of the Holy Spirit, prophesies what our precious Jesus was feeling on this very day nearly 2,000 years ago: Psalm 22 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no res...

Speak Up For Those...

...who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. (Proverbs 31:8) If the Obama administration is successful in rescinding the "Conscience Clause" then many doctors could be fired or go to jail if they refuse to take the life of a precious baby. Respect God's Commandment on Life Watch a video of Senator Tom Coburn who states: "I will go to jail before I perform an abortion." Fox News - Tom Coburn Below, is an excerpt from Jay Sekulow's website regarding what we can do, as children of God to help save the lives of unborn babies and our brothers and sisters in the medical profession who are standing for the same. ____________________________________ President Obama said it. He wants to hear from you. But he's given you a deadline : You've got two weeks to voice your concerns - to speak out for America's pro-life medical professionals ... and their moral conscience - before it's too late. Right now...

Unite My Heart

Pray with me... "Teach me Your way, O LORD, that I may walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name. I give thanks to You, O LORD my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify Your name forever." ~ Psalm 86:11-12

Deborah 13: A Servant of God

All praise and glory be to our Lord God Almighty! Watch this incredible video of a rare 13 year old girl from the UK! I pray that the Lord teach us as parents to train up our children as her parents have trained her up...in the love and admonition of the Lord. So often as parents, we allow strangers to infiltrate our homes (through the TV, internet and music) that we would never invite as guests into our homes. We watch shows like American Idol, Lost, or various other reality TV or worldly shows that provide no eternal impact on our lives or the lives of our children. Then we wonder why they succumb to peer pressure and care more of what their friends think about them, than what God thinks about them. May the Lord our God be merciful to us, allowing us to repent, turn once again to Him and begin to "clean house" as we stop watching shows or movies that blaspheme our God's holy name, listen to music or radio programs that have no spiritual impact on our lives. I...

WFW - Beautiful Feet!

We all want beautiful feet. As women, we love to show off our newest pedicures with cute little sandals in the summer and bright, pretty colors that adorn our toenails. We might even put on a little ring that dangles around our little pinky toe, or a ankle bracelet that sparkles in the light. We consider these things, the things that make our feet beautiful. And we look forward to the pampering of our feet and sigh with satisfaction as we leave the beauty shop or spa with our beautifully dressed-up feet. But what does God say about beautiful feet? What does the Maker of heaven and earth consider is the proper adornment of our feet that would make them look beautiful in His sight? God is awesome. Just so we would never have to wonder, He made it perfectly clear to us what He considers -beautiful feet. Are your feet beautiful to God? You left Your glory Your seat upon the throne And You exchanged it For a Cross In a place that was not Your Home. Master, You took my scorn My...

God Helps Those...

...who humble themselves. All my life, I've heard differently. I've heard, "God helps those who help themselves." As with many things, I believed it because, well, for the most part, it sounded right. It sounded like something that could be and should be true. Fortunately for all of us, it's not true and is not found anywhere in Scripture. Here are some Scriptures that remind us God does not help those who can help themselves, instead the Lord our God helps those who humble themselves; crying out to Him out of their help less ness , and not out of their ability to "help" themselves. "The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of destruction assailed me; the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called upon the LORD; to my God I cried for help . From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry to Him reached His ears.... For You save a humble people, but the haughty eyes your bring down. " ~ ...

Osteen opposes Christ, promising your best life now

"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword . For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." ~Matthew 10:34-39 The common misconception in the world and in Christendom today is that trusting in Jesus Christ will make you "a better you" , or make the life you’re already living better than it was. But that simply is not true. This is what God calls false doctrine as the Holy Spirit instructed the Apostle Paul and the Apostle John to write: "If...
