The Global Missions Project!

This site looks brand new but I love the idea. (They stole it from me- just kidding). Actually, I tried something simliar here: http://onmissionforchrist.wordpress.com/ However, I could not commit the time needed to maintain it.
Check them out at: http://missionaries.in/

Since you’ve popped in, why don’t you share a little about yourself and what brought you to my blog. I’d be eternally blessed!

Inauguration- Live…

Pastor Rick Warren invoked the name of our Saviour Jesus Christ moments ago during the inaugural invocative prayer:

Or: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/01/08/national/inauguration09/main4707733.shtml
Entirely appropriate regardless of religious affiliation when one considers the bedrock of our founding American Christian heritage! (The freedom to disagree over this also remains a foundational right within our American constitutional heritage.)

Lord bless and may Barack serve us well!

IMMEDIATE PRAYER OPPORTUNITY:
January 20, 2009 2:46 PM

Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., who is battling a brain tumor, was taken away from the congressional luncheon in convulsions.

Kennedy was at a table with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., Vice President Mondale and Mrs. Mondale, and others. While at the table, Kennedy began having seizures that lasted for several minutes. As they were carrying Kennedy out of the room, he was still seizing. President Barack Obama went out of the room with him, but he is back in the luncheon room now.

Sometimes He calms the storm!

Tell me if you like this song by Christian artist Scott Krippayne:

Sometimes He Calms The Storm – Scott Krippayne

And this one….

The Christian’s strength…

(Written in the 1600’s)
Is it the Christian’s strength in the
Lord, not in himself? Surely then the Christless
person must needs be a poor impotent creature, void
of all strength and ability of doing anything of itself
towards its own salvation. If the ship launched,
rigged, and with her sails spread cannot stir, till the
wind come fair and fill them, much less the timber
that lies in the carpenter’s yard hew and frame itself
into a ship. If the living tree cannot grow except the
root communicate its sap, much less can a dead rotten
stake in the hedge, which hath no root, live of its
own accord. In a word, if a Christian, that hath his
spiritual life of grace, cannot exercise this life without
strength from above, then surely one void of this new
life, dead in sins and trespasses, can never be able to
beget this in himself, or concur to the production of
it. The state of unregeneracy is a state of impotency.

Free to be me! – Francesca Battistelli

My daughter went to a concert of hers this weekend. Francesca is an extremely humble, gifted Christian. Battistelli stated that when she first began writing music, “I really longed to bring something authentic to the [Christian music] scene that even non-Christians could listen to”. Check out one of her latest tunes….just her, solo:

Long or short creation days?

I am currently reading the Dr. Hugh Ross book “Creation and Time” as I enjoy reading all points of views on any given theological subject. Dr. Ross (an Old Earth Creationist from Reasons to Believe) does provide compelling arguements to defend his assertion of the creation event at about 17 billion years ago. He is not an evolutionist by any stretch of the imagination but due to his assertions he is being confused with one. I personally am not dogmatic concerning this old/ young earth debate simply because I am convinced that this is an issue that believers can disagree over without the other being considered a heretic.

What do you think?

Or check out a debate between between Answers in Genesis (Ken Ham) and Reasons to Believe (Hugh Ross) here:
