PUT YOUR FACE WHERE YOUR FAITH GROWS

Three forces are conspiring to defeat the church.  One force is behind them all! 1. COVID19   Brought to America from Communist China the virus has touched both great and small.  Millions have been infected (millions more have yet to be), and thousands have died.  What's worse, the fear of the virus is greater than the actual virus.   Fear has kept millions from the Houses of Worship--some have been ordered to stay away by governments, others have been ordered to stay away by concerned family and friends, and then there are those who have calculated that church is not actually essential so it's not worth the risk attending. 2. SECULARISM  An increasing number of Americans identify as "NONES" when it comes to religious conviction or preference.  Militant atheists have aggressively pursued every Christian symbol or expression of faith in the public square.  Before the virus hit weekly church attendance had fallen from 40% of Americans to barely 18%.  Weekly is now weakl

FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS - 24TH ANNIVERSARY REVIVAL UPDATE

  September 2020 n 24 th ANNIVERSARY REVIVAL n 24 th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION SUNDAY n PRAYER & PRAISE Greetings Friends of Faith, The Jews were facing genocide at the hand of Haman the hateful Persian.   Mordecai, an officer in the King’s court who won favor with King Xerxes (also known as Ahasuerus) discovered Haman’s plot and urged his cousin, Queen Esther to speak up for her nation. The King did not know she was a Jew.   Haman did not know she was a Jew.   But God orchestrated her ascendency to the throne at just the right moment. Mordecai’s plea to Queen Esther rings through the ages, “ Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? ”   (Esther 4:1

FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS - 9-11

Image
  LET'S ROLL! On this 19th anniversary of 9-11 our hearts are full as we reflect on that historic day. Indeed we will never be the same.  No doubt you remember where you were when you first heard the news. While many today dishonor and disrespect these United States of America, count us among the grateful and admiring citizens of the greatest nation in the world. Americans are not of one religion, race, or ethnicity.  We have different experiences, different educations, and different economic circumstances. What unites us is our common commitment be "one nation, under God, indivisible, with life and liberty for all."   (The Pledge to the Flag). Being American is a matter of spirit.  We are God fearing.  We are family oriented.  We are truth seeking.  We are compassionate and caring.  And we are determined to protect and to defend the nation we love. On that fateful 9-11-2001 as United Airlines Flight 93 was commandeered by Islamic terrorists Todd Beamer knew that unless s

WHEN NOTHING IS GOING RIGHT

Image
There are some who suggest that when things aren't going right--go left.  I can't suggest that. But I can make the following suggestions that may help. 1.   TELL THE LORD WHAT'S HAPPENING You say, "He already knows."  And yes, He does know.  But He is the one that invited us to come to Him when we are stressed and burdened! " Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."  Matthew 11:28,29. We sing  "I must tell Jesus all of my troubles...   Jesus can help me, Jesus alone!"   And He can! We remember our Lord's promise, "Your Heavenly Father knows you have need." (Matthew 6:32)...and "   Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you!"   (Matthew 7:7)  You know reading through the Sermon on the Mount would be a great idea! 2

FIAT OVER FAITH - HOW PROGRESSIVES OPPOSE RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Image
  DEMOCRATS LOATHE RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IT DOES NOT FIT THEIR AGENDAs The issue today is no longer whether progressive dogmas from abortion and marriage equality to gender identity will prevail. Most already have. The question now is whether those who dissent from the new orthodoxy will be permitted to live their lives and run their institutions in accordance with their beliefs. ... As a part of Obamacare, the administration in which Mr Biden served as Vice President, issued a rule requiring Catholic care providers like the Little Sisters of the Poor to violate their convictions by paying for contraception and abortifacients for their employees or face ruinous fines. The Sisters have since won at the Supreme Court. Mr Biden's response? Restore the mandate with the fake exemptions the Little Sisters objected to in the first place. A Biden Harris administration would mean a federal bureaucracy less interested in accommodating religious Americans and their institutions than in constric
