Government Healthcare Passes House

Its hard to believe that the House passed this rank socialism. I am praying that the Senate will stop this train to more statism.

The Importance of Marrying Early

Does the Bible prescribe as normative that young adults should marry early in life? There is a growing movement among Christians to recognize the importance of marrying early and the great blessing/benefit it affords. This month's issue of CT has an article that introduces Evangelicals to this important concept.

Summertime

Isn't it great to get up early on a summer morning before the heat and watch the sun come up? God's handiwork is infinitely underrated!

Ch.ch.ch...Changes

We have a new president elect. I have re-read the Holy Scriptures and renewed my determination to follow it's injunction to pray for our leaders.

"I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior,..." (1 Tim. 2:1-3)

God Answers Hurricane Prayers

It is raining outside this morning as the remnants of Hurricane Gustav still linger but a sigh of relief and thankfulness seems to clear the air. It seems that God was gracious to us folks in Mississippi and Louisiana. What looked like another possible Katrina type storm seemed to weaken as it approached landfall. Is it coincidence that it happened around Sunday morning prayers? I don't think so. There is no such thing as "luck".
"Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow!"

God is in the Storm

You may have seen some of the path projections of Hurricane Gustav. One computer model has it pointing at our coast. When we remember Katrina, it causes a sober feeling to gaze upon the current weather map. Yet, we can confidently say that whatever happens, God is in control.

It reminds me of the great truth we find in God’s holy word.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. (Psalm 34:19, KJV)

No matter what happens in this life, God is both in control and is working all things for the good of those who love Him.
