Token for Pastors

A central conference of pastors in our district is in the offing. The 3-day conference will be held in our church. Members have been assigned tasks to make the event will be successful and glitch-free. A cousin has been assigned to take care of the small tokens to be given to the pastors. I suggested thatUnique Christian Gifts be considered. I told my cousin to skip over to www.greatisthelord.net and look at a truly inspirational pen set. We could further personalize the pens by inscripting the names of the pastors. This is a highly functional gift too as the pen is used all the time by ministers. Great gift.

Married People Chat Too

I was online and was in one social networking site one late night and guess who I saw logged in at midnight? My son! He was supposed to be studying for an exam and there he was chatting the night or early morning away. When I IM him he said he was on 'recess'. What's with online chatting? People, young and old seem to be hooked on online chatting. It has become the preferred way of communicating aside from text messaging.

There are a lot of chat rooms and sites online today. Name your specifications and chances are there is a chat room for you. When online chatting was new I used to frequent the known sites then and hop from one room to another looking for interesting people to interact with. Not much luck there as the 'chatters' were diverse. Today there are a lot of chat rooms that suit one's needs and status. I have heard of Married Chat Rooms where married people can meet and chat. It would be nice to exchange ideas and maybe stories with married people of different ages and nationalities. Membership is free. I guess I better consider joining this group of web chatters.

VPN

I have to check this vpn for my internet connections. It claims of protecting ones privacy online. The World Secure Channel will serve as the virtual firewall blocking malwares and spywares. With the proliferation of scammers and hackers online, I guess there's no harm in checking this site out.

Would You Run?

Imagine this happening to you.

One Sunday morning during service a
2,000 member congregation was surprised
to see two men enter...

both covered from head to toe in black
and carrying submachine guns.

One of the men proclaimed.
"Anyone willing to take a bullet for Christ
remain where you are."

Immediately, the choir fled..

the deacons fled...

and most of the congregation fled...

Out of the 2,000, only 20 remained.

The man who has spoken took off his hood...
He looked at the preacher and said,
"Okay pastor, I got rid of all the hypocrites...
Now you may begin your service."

Extra Protection

I once heard two church mates argue about getting an insurance for the church's building. One argued that we should not get one for surely the Lord's house is protected against all force majeur, acts of God and others. Then other argued that it is up to us to take care of the Lord's property and getting an insurance for the church is one way. We got the insurance for the church.

I believe that it is essential and a responsible act for us to get insurances, especially life insurance. This way we take care of our family's needs in case of one's untimely demise or sickness. An insurance is extra protection for ourselves and our loved ones.

Draw Closer to God

Today's Scripture

“Come close to God, and God will come close to you…” (James 4:8, NLT).

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

God promises that He will draw close to you when you draw closer to Him. How do we draw closer to Him? Here are a couple of ways:

First of all, this verse goes on to say that we must turn away from sin because sin separates us from God. Simply turning to God is the first way to draw closer to Him. Then, the Bible tells us to come into His presence with thanksgiving in our hearts and give Him praise. When you have a thankful heart, you are drawing closer to Him. And the scripture tells us that God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. When you have a humble heart before Him, you are drawing closer to Him. When you seek Him with your whole heart, you will find Him. He will draw close to you.

Seek God today by reading your Bible, praying, meditating on His promises and worshiping Him. With an open heart, you can draw near to God, just as you are, right where you are, and He will fill You with His peace and goodness all the days of your life!

A Prayer for Today

Father in heaven, I choose to draw near to You. I open my heart and repent of anything that displeases You. Fill me with Your power to live the life You have planned for me. I bless Your name today and always. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
