Global Media Outreach

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

A little less than a month ago now, I became a volunteer for Global Media Outreach working as an online missionary. This has been such a blessing to me. Spreading the Good News that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior is truly important. I have been studying the Bible fairly faithfully. I have been "trying" to pray regularly. But my level of hope and faith has been going down. Now that I am speaking to others about Jesus I am being renewed and refreshed. My pray like Paul's is "I would to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become both almost and altogether such as I am" (Acts 26:29). I am not in chains, but I do pray that all would stretch their faith and share the Gospel.

The fruit of the spirit is able to ripen when watered daily with sharing your faith. Thank you Jesus!

May all find Jesus and call Him their Lord and savior. Amen

God is in control

Psalms 89:5,11
⁵And the heavens will praise Your wonders, O LORD; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints. --- ¹¹ The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all its fullness, You have founded them.

While reading this morning I was thinking about the song "God is in control" and how in some ways it appears that He isn't. But I know He is. Those verses were a good summary to me how God is truly in control. Sometimes the evidence for it is in the future. I just got to have a little faith.

Lots of Mercedes to go around?

The rich are going to lose lots of Mercedes.

I guess I am not the only one noticing this video :)

Do not move the ancient landmark.

Proverbs 22:18
¹⁸Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set

Do not steal from those that own something and take it for yourself.

Here is another "me to" post of the great video "Obama won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz".


And now my version:

Obama, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
The rich all drive Porsche's I wan'na join them.
It's not fair that I'm broke, just go ask my friends.
Obama, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

Obama, won't you buy me an HD TV?
My check hasn't arrived yet, the casino ain't free.
I am bored while setting here, you must help me.
Obama, won't you buy me an HD TV?

Obama, won't you make my house payment now?
Lotto didn't work, foreclosure is near.
The fed now owns the banks, so it is in your power.
Obama, won't you make my house payment now?

Obama, won't you heal my S T D?
It's not my fault, it was the other guy, he did it to me.
You took care of the Planned parenthood, now please help me.
Obama, won't you heal my S T D?

Obama, won't you pay my Paxil prescription?
There is just way to many responsi-bili-ties.
The preacher says I'm a sinner. Oh no, not me.
Obama, won't you tell me everything's all okay?

Obama, won't you save this nation from doom?
You were right when you said there is another way.
How could others have called this nation Chris-tian.
Obama, thank you for saving me.

---

Jesus please bring this nation to repentance. Jesus, please forgive all my sins and be my Lord, Amen.

In the beginning!

In the beginning...

... God created the heavens and the earth.

... Was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.


Jesus said "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end". Jesus is eternal, everlasting, King of Kings, Prince of Peace. Jesus had many names. Jesus created you and me.

Lord Jesus, you have created this new year, you alone have died that we might live. Lord you are worthy. Amen.

We have committed Obamacide

Well the nation has committed Obamacide by electing a man that supports legislation that would allow a doctor to essentially kill a living breathing human being just because he/she survived an abortion attempt.

My only hope now is that the people of this country will repent before the tribulation period comes and becomes all that we are warned that it could be.

Jesus, we have sinned, please forgive us and heal our sinful hearts. Amen.

Obamacide

Obamacide. It means, 1) Killing the newborn survivor of a botched abortion through a deliberate act of omission; and, 2) That which a nation commits upon itself by electing one who would allow such a thing.


Please, please, please, please, do not commit Obamacide.

Jesus is the glue that holds us together

The following is an email that I got from a friend of a friend of a.... It is so cool. If the original writers finds this blog and wants to take credit, please do.

-----------------------

This is a pretty neat story and an interesting thing that few of us know. It's brief, so please read on.
A couple of days ago I was running (I use that term very loosely) on my treadmill, watching a DVD sermon by Louie Giglio...and I was BLOWN AWAY! I want to share what I learned....but I fear not being able to convey it as well as I want. I will share anyway.

He (Louie) was talking about how inconceivably BIG our God is...how He spoke the universe into being...how He breathes stars out of His mouth that are huge raging balls of fire...etc. etc. Then He went on to speak of how this star-breathing, universe creating God ALSO knitted our human bodies together with amazing detail and wonder. At this point I am LOVING it (fascinating from a medical standpoint, you know.) .....and I was remembering how I was constantly amazed during medical school as I learned more and more about God's handiwork. I remember so many times thinking...."How can ANYONE deny that a Creator did all of this???"

Louie went on to talk about how we can trust that the God who created all this, also has the power to hold it all together when things seem to be falling apart...how our loving Creator is also our sustainer.

And then I lost my breath.
And it wasn't because I was running my treadmill, either!!!
It was because he started talking about laminin.
I knew about laminin. Here is how wikipedia describes them :"Laminins are a family of proteins that are an integral part of the structural scaffolding of basement membranes in almost every animal tissue." You see....laminins are what hold us together....LITERALLY. They are cell adhesion molecules. They are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we would literally fall apart. And I knew all this already. But what I didn't know is what laminin LOOKED LIKE.

But now I do.
And I have thought about it a thousand times since (already)....
Here is what the structure of laminin looks like...AND THIS IS NOT a "Christian portrayal" of it....if you look up laminin in any scientific/medical piece of literature, this is what you will see...

Now tell me that our God is not the coolest!!!
Amazing.
The glue that holds us together....ALL of us....is in the shape of the cross.
Immediately Colossians 1:15-17 comes to mind.

"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
For by him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth , visible and invisible,
whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;
all things were created by him and for him.
He is before all things,
and in him all things HOLD TOGETHER. "
Colossians 1:15-17

Call me crazy. I just think that is very, very, very cool.
Thousands of years before the world knew anything about laminin, Paul penned those words. And now we see that from a very LITERAL standpoint, we are held together...one cell to another....by the cross.

You would never in a quadrillion years convince me that is anything other than the mark of a Creator who knew EXACTLY what laminin "glue" would look like long before Adam even breathed his first breath!!

We praise YOU, Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
