Prayer
Hello!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted. I get on once in a while but haven’t posted in a long time.
I wanted to post though because I’m asking for prayer for many things. If you would, please be in prayer for the people involved.
- I attend a small church. We currently meet in a store front but we have purchased land to eventually build a church. We’re having a problem with funds as the store font rent and the payment on the land is expensive and because we have a small amount of people that attend. Our church really strives to serve the community and to have a growing church. Prayer for funds, the church to grow, and the community itself would be greatly appreciated!
- A friend of mine’s mother is undergoing brain surgery and he won’t be able to be home to be with her during that time. To make matters worse, a good friend of his was in a car accident and is in a coma.
- The cousin of a church member is 3 and she has been sick lately. They did blood tests and found that there is a problem with her white blood cell count. The doctor is preparing the family for leukemia. With prayer, we seek that she would be healed of whatever abnormality she has in her body.
- Several fellow students, including myself need guidance as to what God’s next step is and also financial help for upcoming semesters.
- I know two couples that are getting married this summer. One of them is very reliant on God. Please pray that they continue to be and continue to serve God as the amazing couple that they are in working with troubled youth. The other couple is made of a psuedo-Christian and a non-Christian. Pray that they would come to Christ and that they would lean on Him in their marriage. So far, the girl does not seem happy with getting married.
While there are many more payer requests, those are some that stand out more right now. That’s not to say that they are more important though. Thank you so much for your prayers. They’re greatly appreciated!
It’s like a dad telling his kids, ” If you do this, then I will love you.” that’s just weird.
But Christianity says - “Because God loves me, I will obey.”
The best dads are the ones who motivate their kids out of love and grace. — (via markmuldez)

I love these! I was at the mall yesterday and walked past their little booth and when I walked back by the old lady hid the basket…I wanted a butterscotch one so bad…
It is not convenient to preach that Heaven will not be open for everyone. It isn’t convenient to preach that Hell is a real place, and that there will be people sent there by a loving God. But I think its important to understand that the Bible doesn’t teach a doctrine of convenience. Those who are saved will be asked to inconvenience themselves, and to go out of their way to be uncomfortable in the world they were born in. So don’t be misled by a doctrine of Convenience. Pick up your Bible and read the Truth.

If you’re married, and you have a wife, and you really love your wife, is it good enough to only say to your wife, I love her, the day you get married? Or should you tell her every single day when you wake up and have the opportunity? And that’s how I feel about my relationship with Jesus Christ. It is the most important thing in my life, so every opportunity I have to tell Him I love Him, or I’m given an opportunity to shout Him out on national TV, I’m going to take that opportunity.
I look at it as a relationship I have with Him, I want to give Him the honor and glory every time I get the opportunity. And then after I give Him the honor and glory I always try to give my teammates the honor and glory, and that’s how it works. Because Christ comes first in my life, and then my family, and then my teammates. I respect Jake’s opinion, and I really appreciate his compliment of calling me a winner, but I feel like every time I get the opportunity to give the Lord some praise He is due for it because what He did for me, and what He did on the cross for all of us. I really appreciate his opinion and I respect him, but I still will give all the honor and glory to the Lord because He deserves it.

Has the majority of the Church gotten too lax? Yes, there are many Christians who try their hardest to live their life for Christ. However, it seems that some churches have allowed worldly views to seep in and never address such worldly views so that they can continue to grow.
As someone who attends a conservative Christian college, it shocks me that there are those who are getting degrees in Biblical Studies, Biblical Languages (Hebrew & Greek), and Intercultural Studies (missions) yet they cuss and act as though they had never heard of Christ.
Why aren’t churches discussing the problem of lax “Christians” becoming part of the ministry? These lax people are the next wave of ministers and I have a problem with that. Why doesn’t the church as whole? It’s such a sad situation.
