Our Father, we are beginning to understand at last that
the things that are wrong with our world are the sum total
of all the things that are wrong with us as individuals. You
made us after your image, and our hearts can find no rest
until they rest in you.

File A Complaint Against Your Local CBS Station
On June 5, your local CBS station violated its license obligation to "serve the public interest" by airing one of the most offensive programs ever on broadcast television.
In the opening scene of Swingtown, the storyline sends an airline stewardess home with a pilot
for
3-way s*x with the pilot's wife.
Your local CBS station also aired these scenes from Swingtown:
· Teenagers smoke marijuana as they drive away from school
· Two young boys get caught looking at p*rnogr*phic magazines by one of the boy's father. His response
was, "Don't let your mother catch you with this" and hands the magazine back to the boy.
· At a party in a neighbor's home, one woman continues to ask the host and another guest for "coke" (heroin).
· The host offers Quaaludes to her guest to "loosen her up" for group s*x.
· Several party guests are shown smoking marijuana.
· One scene shows an orgy going on in the basement.
· Two married couples have s*x together.
Your local CBS station could have chosen to reject the network show. Instead, they aired it in
your
community,
knowing full well, children would likely be watching.

More than 31,000 scientists have signed a petition denying that man is responsible for global warming.
Around the World Priest Investigated For Quoting Bible: A priest is being investigated as a potential criminal under a federal "hate crimes" law for quoting from the Bible, and he's being targeted using a Canadian provision under which no defendant ever has been acquitted, according to a new report.
National Idaho Decency Advocates Win Library Fight: The Idaho Values Alliance has won a victory against the Nampa city library. At issue were two books, one of them with explicit descriptions of homosexual acts.
Assisted Suicide Bill Passes California Assembly: An assisted-suicide bill that allows doctors and nurses to suggest death by unconscious dehydration has barely passed the California State Assembly. Leave to the state that hates the death penalty, for criminals, to choose the most barbaric way of euthanasia for those who cannot protect themselves.
Schools Home Schooling Labeled 'Anarchy': "The California Teachers Association ... decided to file an amicus brief arguing before the court that parents shouldhave no right over the education of their children, should not have a right to home school, and that these children should be literally forced to be put back into the public schools -- even though parents object," the attorney explains.
Supremes Asked To Stop 'Gay' Indoctrination: Earlier District Judge Mark Wolf had ordered that school officials' work to undermine Christian beliefs is
needed to prepare children for citizenship, and if parents don't like it they can elect a different school committee or homeschool their children.
6Th-Grader Warned: Stop Wearing Pro-Life T-Shirts: ....his principal and teachers told him "not to wear the T-shirts, publicly singled him out for ridicule in
front of his classmates,(I wonder what ever happened to tolerance and not bullying students?) removed him from class, sent him to the principal's office, forced him to turn his pro-life T-shirt inside out, and threatened him with suspension if he did not stop wearing the offending pro-life T-shirts."
Abortion KS Governor's Office Covers Up Secret Party Honoring Abortionist Tiller: While under investigation by the Attorney General's office and amid increasing calls for criminal charges by the Kansas Legislature, late- term abortionist George R. Tiller and his entire abortion clinic staff was honored by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius at a lavish secret party held at Cedar Crest, the Governor's mansion in early April, 2007.
Kansas Gov. Sebelius' 'Damage Control' Response Called 'Laughable' by OR: "According to our source, who attended the event at Cedar Crest, the party was 'by special invitation only.' It was obvious to this person that Tiller was on a very friendly basis with Sebelius and took the time to personally introduce each member of his abortion clinic staff to the governor," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "Our source was very specific that the event's purpose was to 'honor' Tiller and his staff. The pictures, especially the ones that include the political t-shirts produced by Tiller, back up our source's claims."
'Not One Shred of Evidence' That Tiller Party was Auction Prize: Operation Rescue has researched Gov. Kathleen Sebelius's claims that the April 9, 2007, dinner with late-term abortionist George R. Tiller and his abortion clinic staff was an auction prize to which she had no control over who would be the winner. OR has concluded that her claims are not supported by documentation.
At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets
will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,
but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
~ Matthew 24:10-13 NIV ~ _______________________
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith
worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
~ James 1:2-4 KJV ~ __________________
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience,
that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any
man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but
of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

A Christian Commitment
I will...
Like Paul, forget those things which are behind, and press forward.
Like Abraham, trust implicitly in my God.
Like Enoch, walk in daily fellowship with my heavenly Father.
Like Jehosaphat, prepare my heart to seek God.
Like Moses, choose rather to suffer than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for
a season.
Like Daniel, commune with God at all times.
Like Caleb and Joshua, refuse to be discouraged because of superior numbers.
Like Gideon, advance even though my friends be few.
Like Aaron and Hur, uphold the hands of my pastor and the leaders of my
church with my prayer and support.
Like Andrew, strive to lead my brother to Christ.
Like Stephen, manifest a forgiving spirit toward all who seek my hurt.
And, realizing that I cannot hope to achieve these objectives by my own
strength,
I will rely upon Christ for "I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me."
A newly widowed man stood at the cemetery next to his wife's casket.
When the graveside service had no more than terminated, there was a
tremendous burst of thunder accompanied by a distant lightning bolt and
more rumbling thunder.
The little old man looked at the pastor and calmly said, "Well, she's there."
Angel Army: "When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had
surrounded the city. 'Oh, my lord, what shall we do?' the servant asked. 'Don't be afraid,' the prophet answered. 'Those
who are with us are more than those who are with them.' And Elisha prayed, 'O Lord, open his eyes so he may see.' Then
the Lord opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha"
(2Ki 6:15-17).
Sometimes, when surrounded by trouble, we feel frightened and trapped by the overwhelming odds against us. If we
will open our eyes of faith, we will realize that we are surrounded and protected by God's powerful presence. We have
a whole host of heaven's army fighting the battle with us and for us. "Those who are with us are more (in number and
power) than those who are with them." We can summon God's army with a humble, earnest cry for help. The spirit that
indwells us is far greater than the enemy who threatens us. We don't need to be afraid. God is on our side! He is fighting
the battle for us. When we cry "Oh, Lord, what shall we do?" may the Lord open our eyes so we may see his great love
and power that is at work all around us.
Spiritual Leprosy: Naaman went to the prophet, Elisha, to be cured of his leprosy. Elisha's messenger told Naaman, "Go, wash yourself seven
times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed." Naaman "went off in a rage." He thought Elisha
himself would have come out and healed him immediately and magnificently. He was also offended that he was told to go to
a filthy river in Isreal. His servants reasoned with him, "If the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have
done it? How much more then, when he tells you, 'Wash and be cleansed'!" So Naaman obeyed Elisha's instructions and was
restored to perfect health. He went back to Elisha and said, "Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel."
(2Ki 5:1-14)
When I let sin dwell in my thoughts, it becomes like leprosy, eating away at my conscience and compromising my spiritual
health. I look for an easy answer to my discomfort - a "quick fix" to relieve my feelings of guilt and shame. But the only
way to get rid of my spiritual leprosy is to do what God requires, not what I desire. I must look at my weaknesses, failures
and insecurities the way God sees them. I must accept God's forgiveness and healing on his terms, not mine. I don't have
to understand every twist and turn; I just have to walk the path. It is not enough to get my toes wet, or wade in up to my
ankles; I must be washed completely in the waters of humble obedience ("seven" times ... the number of God and
completeness in scripture). This complete cleansing results in a deeper, more passionate love for the Lord and a greater
sense of peace and trust in his will for me.
When we seek to restore others in their walk with the Lord, they may reject our counsel at first, just as Namaan did. We
must deliver God's message, and then leave them in God's hands and trust him to work in their hearts to draw them back
to him. Naaman had to go through a process of letting go of his pride and stubbornness before he could accept Elisha's
advice and submit himself, in humility, to God's healing power. When confronted, we often need to go through that process
too before we are able to see the truth of the loving, sharpening words of a concerned friend.

The Top Seven Signs That Your Preacher Needs A Vacation!
7. You caught him snoring during the service while he was leading the congregational prayer.
6. The last ten sermons had the word "rest" in the title.
5. The closing hymn for the last three weeks has been "I'll fly away".
4. At last weekend's service he showed up in a Hawaiian shirt and Bermuda shorts.
3. Before the last board meeting, holiday brochures of exotic getaways were placed on each seat.
2. The preacher's wife has posted a picture of him all over the neighborhood with the
caption: "Have
you seen this man?"
And the number one sign your preacher needs a vacation:
1. The theme of his Jonah sermon was - "A change of scenery does a person good!"
Value
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and
started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled
and dirty.
"Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did
to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was
still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground
into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.
We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what
will happen, you will never lose your value in God's eyes. To Him, dirty or clean,
crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to Him. Psalm 17:8 states that
God will keep us 'as the apple of His eye.'"
THOUGHT:
The worth of our lives come not in what we do or who we are, but by WHOSE WE ARE!
And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't
want you to try to
talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about
you, coming to see you, staying
attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.
When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.
The Bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us.
For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1John 2:19]
People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't
make them stay.
Let them go!
And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person, it just means that their part in the story is over and
you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the
dead. You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the
tenth spiritual gift - I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know
whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it.
Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!!

"The Battle is the Lord's!"
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who are in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth
as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those
who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever.
