I originally had the video from GodTube posted, but the sound was not good. Here's the one from YouTube. Enjoy!

Thought for Today

The Christian life is not a way "out" but a way "through" life.

Help Provide Bibles for U.S. Troops

I received this email today from Focus on the Family:

Campus Crusade for Christ's Military Ministry recently received the following note:

"I am a chaplain in the Army preparing to deploy with my infantry battalion of approximately 800 soldiers. I have no Bibles or resources as I have just taken over this battalion. They just returned from Iraq this past November and are already returning again ... Whatever you can do to help in resources would be greatly appreciated."

As this chaplain's note highlights, there remains a tremendous need for God's Word, especially as more troops deploy. We continue to receive requests for an average of 15,000 to 20,000 Rapid Deployment Kits per month--each one containing a pocket-sized New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs, a daily devotional and a booklet that clearly shares the Gospel. Learn how you can help place these Bible and devotional kits into the hands of our troops.

Thank you for your support and prayers for our troops.

It is Well with My Soul

Very touching and inspiring!

Fields of Grace

There's a place that I love to run and play
There's a place that I sing new songs of praise

Dancin' with my Father God in fields of grace
Dancin' with my Father God in fields of grace

There's a place that I lose myself within
There's a place that I find myself again

Dancin' with my Father God in fields of grace
Dancin' with my Father God in fields of grace

There's a place where religion finally dies
There's a place that I lose my selfish pride

Dancin' with my Father God in fields of grace
Dancin' with my Father God in fields of grace

I love my Father, my Father loves me
I dance for my Father, my Father sings over me
And nothing can take that away from me!

Obama Has "A Fruitcake Interpretation of the Bible"

"I think he's deliberately distorting the traditional understanding of the Bible to fit his own worldview, his own confused theology," Dobson said. Added Minnery: "... He is dragging biblical understanding through the gutter."

Obama is definitely taking Old Testament laws out of context and then he suggests that we're the ones that aren't reading our Bibles? He's the one that needs to read the Bible! When are people going to see through this man? Obama is twisting scriptures from the Bible for HIS OWN GAIN!

Chonda Pierce - "Dwelling Places"

I've seen Chonda Pierce in concert twice. Both times were incredible. She has a great way of mixing in comedy with the message. Enjoy!

God Uses Ordinary People

You don't have to be a celebrity to be used by God. Even if you aren't beautiful or smart, don't have a good job, didn't go to college, and can hardly read, God can still use you.

Just look at David. He was a shepherd. The prophet came to David's house to ask his dad for a king. No one thought to bring out David because he was just a simple shepherd.

1 Samuel 16
Samuel Anoints David
1 The LORD said to Samuel, "How long
will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king."
2 But Samuel said, "How can I go? Saul will hear about it and kill me."
The LORD said, "Take a heifer with you and say, 'I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.' 3 Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what to do. You are to anoint for me the one I indicate."
4 Samuel did what the LORD said. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the town trembled when they met him. They asked, "Do you come in peace?"
5 Samuel replied, "Yes, in peace; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me."
Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, "Surely the LORD's anointed stands here before the LORD."
7 But the LORD said to Samuel,
"Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, "The LORD has not chosen this one either." 9 Jesse then had Shammah pass by, but Samuel said, "Nor has the LORD chosen this one." 10 Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, "The LORD has not chosen these." 11 So he asked Jesse, "Are these all the sons you have?"
"There is still the youngest," Jesse answered, "but he is tending the sheep."
Samuel said, "Send for him; we will not sit down [a] until he arrives."
12 So he sent and had him brought in. He was ruddy, with a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the LORD said, "Rise and anoint him; he is the one."
13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power. Samuel then went to Ramah.

As We Worship . . .

Sometimes when we worship, we're looking for a feeling. Was the lighting right? Was the volume right? Did the band sing songs that I liked? Let's remember that when we worship, it's not about us. It's about Him. This is an amazing video to remind us of our focus.
