Prayer for The President Elect

You may be rejoicing over the new pick for President or as some have described it you may be in mourning. Scripture tells us that we are to pray for our leaders and so whether or not you voted for President Elect Barack Obama our assignment as Christians is to begin to cover him and his family with prayer. Those who are disappointed by his victory may have to shed the fear that things are going to go downhill for our nation. Do we still believe that God can speak to the hearts of kings? Do we still believe that God is in control? Do we still believe that God answers prayer in 2008? What would happen if God's people in mass began to pray in earnest for our next President and first lady?
Here are some links that give food for though.

Pray for our Election

The Word of God tells us to pray for our leaders. It can be hard during the election process because we tire of the mud that seems to get slung back and forth. We get frustrated some times because it seems in the natural that we don't have a voice to create real change. The truth is though we do have a voice. We can listen to God and vote our conscience. Let's believe together that our Sovereign God is able to help this nation choose its next leader.

Pastor David Larkin

My Childhood pastor David Larkin went to be with the Lord Yesterday. He pastored a church in the same city as our church. It was fitting that he made his journey on the Lord's Day. My first impression might have been the candy he always kept in his pocket at the end of church, or the way he used to reach for his comb while preaching and unconsciously comb his hair (though he worked at breaking that habit), but over the years the thing that stuck was his steadfast love for the people God brought to him. "Just Serve Jesus" he used to say. I didn't understand that phrase at first because he'd say it in good times and bad. He meant of course that in this life through good or bad we need to have an unwavering faith in Jesus come what may. A faith that says, "God has the answer and will bring us through in victory". He loved us faults and all, he was not shy about correcting , encouraging you do your best or dealing out appreciation for a job well done. Pastor Dave officiated at our wedding, and my mother's funeral....He brought joy and comfort to many in our community during their happy times and during their times of challenge or mourning. Thank you Brother Dave (and Sis. Helen) for forming a part of who I grew up to be.

City Code officer okays the Summer Work

Wow, Praise the Lord. It seemed absolutely insurmountable. Our building is an old tank factory and the portion farthest away from the sanctuary had a wall fall down last winter. The testimonies of God's goodness go on and on. We needed some finances to even get the project started plus we were on a time limit imposed by the city. Our building had a crane that we took down and sold for scrap. Thing is it didn't come down easily and we faced it being a problem that could have stopped us dead in our tracks...BUT God is our refuge in times of trouble. We really had to fight the thought that it couldn't be done...and that we'd have to give up our building. We worked steadily one task at a time. Pastor John worked despite sore hands and body aches. Church members gave up their weekends and days off and helped us. We've got more things to do with our building....we are believing God for the finances and the ability to complete all task. With God all things are possible.

The Lord's Prayer Sung by 2 year old

I found this really cute video of a little girl singing the Lord's Prayer. It really blessed me....I hope you'll sing and pray along.

It's a busy summer

We've been working hard on the church building and things are coming along slowly but surely. We declare that this is God's project and the building will be completed ...He is our source in all things. We will finish what must be finished this summer and begin to save toward the future stages of the projects....knowing that God is able to finance without hinderence what He has called into being.

The Bible says that spiritual songs can be a source of encouragement and teaching. That means it is very important that we watch what we sing....and that we sing we listen to the words. Music gets into our soul (our mind, will and emotion) like few things can.

A Crowd or a Movement

Last year when Micaiah Ministries came Bro. Kent expounded on the subject “A Crowd or a Movement“. A crowd can be good, but if that crowd doesn’t advance in the things of God they are nothing more than seat fillers. Kent talked about the charismatic revival of the late 60’s and early 70’s when “Jesus People” got a heart for those around them. They desired that people be changed from the inside out…not simply be part of a crowd. This was a time of war in Vietnam, war protest, and racial upheaval, sounds a little like today. With a desire toward discipleship, evangelism and Bible study revival fires broke out simultaneously in many parts of the nation. The gospel changes people. Today is a time like that…a time when we need passion for the things of God. We can look at our world now and see similarities to the birth of the “Jesus People” movement. What does God want to birth in you and through you?
