"There is much prayerless praying. The attitude and semblance
of prayer are in it, but there is no real praying, no projecting of
the desires with vigor and in a flame to heaven. The form and show
are seen, but the substance and being of prayer are entirely absent." |

by Harold Vaughan
"Ecclesiastes states there is a 'time to keep silence, and
a time to speak'. There are numerous occasions to practice meekness
and silence, but there are other instances when it is manditory
to display courage and open your mouth for an honorable cause. God
give us men with SPIRIT-FILLED BOLDNESS."

John 8:32 says, "And you shall know the truth, and the truth
shall set you free."
In Christ...
I have Christ's power and authority (Ephesians 1:18-23).
I am holy, blameless, and beyond reproach (Colossians 1:21-22).
I am seated with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). |

- People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered; Love
Them Anyway.
- If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior
motives; Do Good Anyway.

You are glad you are better than others.
Your prayers are more like “self-talk” than speaking
with God.
Your sins seem so small when placed beside the really BIG sins of
others .

Churches that "Challenge" men will attract men. Men do
not follow programs.
They are drawn to visionary leaders who inspire them to a great
cause... |

America is over $8 trillion in debt! The Word says "righteousness
exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people." Our
National debt is sin... |

Tolerance, freedom of speech, and "live and let live"
are the mantras most Americans live by. Relativism, be it cultural,
theological, or moral is the ruling philosophy of our day...

Lack of control in one area bleeds over into other areas. More
than once gluttony and drunkenness are paired together in the Scripture
(Deut. 21:20; Prov.23:21). Proverbs warns us; Be not among winebibbers
(drunkards); among riotous eaters of flesh (23:20). Riotous eaters
are gluttons. |

You may remember the Catholics and Evangelicals Together document
that made headlines a few years back. Since it was penned, we have
witnessed the acceleration of the absorption of what is now called
“evangelicalism” into religion of Rome. |

Our culture demands convenience Christianity. We want it short,
simple, fast and cheap. |

In order to counter worldly influences, scores of parents made
the conscious decision to be “family oriented.” This
was prompted by many factors, including the grim statistics among
second generation Christians. Desperately concerned for their children,
parents are now home schooling around two million children in the
United States. Like any reactionary movement, excesses and deficits
are not uncommon. |

We have lived to see the day when the people who spend millions
to save two stranded whales will eagerly spend hundreds of millions
to kill unborn human beings. How did we get to the place we are
today? The book of Romans sheds great light on current conditions;
the first chapter is most relevant in comprehending present-day
atrocities. |

Dear friends, we need as the first and most essential thing in
this matter that God should walk with us. In vain we shall struggle
after revival unless we have His presence. If, then, we desire to
have His presence with us, we must see to it that we are perfectly
agreed with Him both in the design of the work, and in the method
of it; and I desire to stir up your pure minds to heart-searching
and vigilant self-examination, that every false way may be purged
from us, since God will not walk with us as a church, unless we
be agreed with Him. |

The cry of outrage from conservatives and evangelicals concerning
the recent gay marriage issue was predictable. What decent person
wouldn’t be outraged? However, the outcry is “too little”
and “too late.” |

No, I did not watch the Super Bowl half-time show, but boy have
I heard about it! The Ten Commandments may be offensive, but Matt
Drudge says that top CBS executives approved the musical skit where
Janet Jackson exposed partial nudity. “The decision to go
forward went to the very top of the network [CBS],” said a
well placed source in New York. |
