Artist : Natalie Grant Two months is too little They let him go They had no sudden healing To think that providence Would take a child from his mother While she prays, is appalling Who told us we'd be rescued What has changed and Why should we be saved from nightmares Were asking why this happens to us Who have died to live, it's unfair Chorus This is what it means to be held How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive This is what it is to be loved and to know That the promise was that when everything fell We'd be held This hand is bitterness We want to taste it and Let the hatred numb our sorrows The wise hand opens slowly To lilies of the valley and tomorrow Chorus This is what it means to be held How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive This is what it is to be loved and to know That the promise was that when everything fell We'd be held If hope is born of suffering If this is only the beginning Can we not wait,...

Anuj Chopra, Chronicle Foreign Service Friday, June 27, 2008 (06-27) 04:00 PDT Tehran --   Illyas, 20, precariously straddles two worlds. At home, he's a devout Christian who wears a silver cross around his neck, reads the Bible and sings hymns praising Jesus Christ. In public, he is a pious Muslim who attends regular mosque prayers. Illyas and his parents - they asked a reporter not to mention the family name to ensure their safety - had been practicing Muslims until they watched a religious television program beamed by satellite from Reseda (Los Angeles County). At that time last year, Illyas's mother called a hot line number of Iran for Christ Ministries, prayed with a counselor and soon accepted Jesus Christ as her savior. Illyas and his stepfather quickly followed. Islam is the state religion of Iran - 98 percent of the nation's 66 million inhabitants are Muslims - and Islam has governed most aspects of life since the 1979 Islamic revolution that toppled the Shah o...

by Aimee Herd : Jun 26, 2008: Jonathan Lamb - Langham Preaching Program Director "By God's mercy, Habakkuk was able to close his prophecy with a remarkable doxology, singing to the Sovereign Lord who was his strength. Please join us in praying that this will be the experience of God's people in Zimbabwe, even in the midst of uncertainty and terror." (Zimbabwe, Africa)—With violence increasing amid an already turbulent situation in Zimbabwe, we at BCN are asking our readers to be lifting up the country in prayer. According to a BBC report , a summit of southern African countries is urging that the ensuing presidential election be put on hold, citing the escalated disturbance. (Photo: Mugabe/AFP) A representative of Langham Partnership International/John Stott Ministries—Jonathan Lamb—has issued a prayer request which included the following report from a pastor in Zimbabwe: "A church member has just come in and shared how she traveled to a nearby town and on ...

The whole News Media and Christians alike  terrified with this news at least I speak for myself . I thought pastors/bishops were role models? and people who should show the "lost" the way to the Cross, how disappointed I am  about this news. I ask myself couldn't they have forgiven and forgotten? or was their bruised ego too much to bear; making it difficult for them to humble themselves before God and reconcile to the Glory of God?. (sometimes I wonder if it was as a result of the beating taking place at a public place that made it worse for her to forgive, maybe if it was at home nobody would know and she might still be in the Marriage) who knows!? I ask again isn't there any tiniest way the Holy Spirit must have dropped it in their hearts for them to make peace for the sake of the flock they are overseeing? Well I know that some of us are too familiar with God so we can  do whatever we like Proverb 14:12  There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the en...

"To whom will you compare me?        Or who is my equal?" says the Holy One.  Lift your eyes and look to the heavens:        Who created all these?        He who brings out the starry host one by one,        and calls them each by name.        Because of his great power and mighty strength,        not one of them is missing. Why do you say, O Jacob,        and complain, O Israel,        "My way is hidden from the LORD;        my cause is disregarded by my God"? Do you not know?        Have you not heard?        The LORD is the everlasting God,        the Crea...

The issue of forgiveness is a very tough one but very necessary for our Salvation in Christ Jesus, Not to be ignored to say the least,  I am one who has had to forgive a lot and especially recently because I  have come to realize that it's no use holding unto the hurts and offenses most of all the Holy Spirit has ,made me know that God is the Judge and not me. Exodus 14:14 14The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. AMEN! When the Holy Spirit is in you and the fruit of the Spirit operates in you, you  must become a broken Christian and  learn to forgive your enemies no matter how hard it looks or seems. "I am a witness"  because, I know I have said in time past, I will never forgive this person or that person but, today the good Lord has taken all that strife and bitterness from my life and turned it into love. Sometimes I Wonder what happened to me!? there are times when my family would expect me to react violently  th...

Friends, I am greatly humbled by this recent development in my blogging life, yesterday I was invited to join Timothy Todds   Blog Chapel of Ease as a guest Author . God knows this is one of the last things I expected receiving or being asked to do  as a blogger for Christ , The funny and mysterious part is that I didn't even know about the blog, not to mention visiting it for one day. So I was so pleasantly surprised when I received the Email from TRT . The blog is  great blog especially when different people get to share the word of God in Oneness . I truly believe that this is  a signal of great things to Come in the body of Christ , even as we work together by the Spirit for one goal. I have already published a post there, I reckoned that there is no point in wasting much  time, when you are called to do something for God you must get to it with all that is in you... that is what I believe and live by. I Ask you my friend to visit the blog Chape...

Man Who was Written Off by Doctors at Birth Now Shares How His Second Birth in Christ Revolutionized His Life by Teresa Neumann : June 10, 2008 : Gracie Bonds Staples - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Christopher Coleman—becoming the first in his family to graduate from college—likens his life in a wheelchair to the blind man in Chapter 9 of the book of John" in that he was "born with such challenges, so that the works of God be demonstrated in him." (Atlanta, Georgia)—A report in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution chronicles the life of Christopher Coleman, from doctors "writing him off" after his premature birth to his second birth in Christ years later. According to the article, shortly after Coleman's birth doctors said he would never walk, talk, or even think for himself. His father abandoned his mother the day he was born and throughout his subsequent years in school people treated him as a non-entity as he sat in the back ...

The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. Psalm 19:7-9 John MacArthur expands on our understanding of these three verses about Scripture (emphasis added and slightly edited to make it easier to read): … But more importantly and savingly, God has revealed Himself in Scripture.  There is His unwritten revelation and His written revelation.  And when you come to verse 7, the transition is made from God revealing Himself in nature to God revealing Himself in Scripture… in Scripture. The structure of these verses from verse 7 through 9, notice it there, is a series of parallel statements, verses 7, 8 and 9.  Here there are six titles for Scripture … the Law of the Lord , the tes...

By Alexander J. Sheffrin Christian Post Reporter Wed, June. 04 2008 01:48 PM ET A Christian legal group is suing a middle school in Hutchinson, Minn., in federal court over the right of a 12-year-old boy to wear pro-life T-shirts in school. The boy, referenced in the lawsuit only as “K. B.,” was reportedly and repeatedly harassed, ostracized, publicly ridiculed, and threatened with disciplinary action by school officials because he wore t-shirts produced by the American Life League as part of their anti-abortion awareness campaign. The t-shirts displayed images of unborn babies accompanied with such messages as, "Abortion: Growing, Growing, Gone,” "What part of abortion don't you understand?" and "Never Known – Not Forgotten" alongside “47,000,000 babies aborted 1973-2008" printed on the back. Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), said that the case was a clear issue ...

By Joshua Goldberg Christian Post Reporter Thurs, June. 05 2008 06:59 PM ET The rates of sexuality activity among U.S. high school students rose this year, according to a new study released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nearly half of all high school students have reportedly had sex, even as condom and contraceptive use is declining, the study noted. Although the rates of sexual activity represented a decrease from its record high of 54 percent in 1991, the new results suggest a new upward trend among students. The study found an increase in sexual activity among Hispanic students and a decrease among white and black students. Furthermore, the number of students who reported to have had more than four sexual partners declined from its 1991 high of 19 percent to just 15 percent this year, according to the study. The survey, which is conducted every two years and seeks to gauge the frequency of a wide range of risky behaviors among youth,...

An Unspoken Bible His name is Bill. He has wild hair, wears a T-shirt with holes in it, jeans and no shoes. This was literally is wardrobe for his entire four years of college. He is brilliant. Kind of esoteric and very, very bright. He became a Christian recently while attending college. Across the street from the campus is a well-dressed, very conservative church. One day Bill decides to go there. He walks in with no shoes, jeans, his T-shirt, and wild hair. The service has already started and So Bill starts down the aisle looking for a seat. The church is completely packed and he can't find a seat. By now people are really looking a bit uncomfortable, but no one says anything. Bill gets closer and closer and closer to the pulpit and, when he realizes there are no seats, he just squats down right on the carpet. (Although perfectly acceptable behavior at a college fellowship, trust me, this had never happened in this church before! By now the people are really uptight,...
