AMERICA ~ THE BEAUTIFUL ~ Too soft to place a killer in a well deserved tomb, But brave enough to kill a baby before he leaves the womb.
The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama. Judge Moore was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom foyer. He has been stripped of his judgeship and now they are trying to strip his right to practice law in Alabama. The judge's poem sums it up quite well. America the Beautiful, or so you used to be. Land of the Pilgrims' pride; I'm glad they'll never see. Babies piled in dumpsters, Abortion on demand, Oh, sweet land of liberty; your house is on the sand. Our children wander aimlessly poisoned by cocaine, Choosing to indulge their lusts, when God has said abstain. >From sea to shining sea, our Nation turns away From the teaching of God's love and a need to always pray. We've kept God in our temples, how callous we have grown. When earth is but His footstool, and Heaven is His throne. We've voted in a government that's rotting at the core, Appointing Godless Judges who throw reason out the door, Too soft to place a killer in a well deserved tomb, But brave enough to kill a baby before he leaves the womb. You think that God's not angry, that our land's a moral slum? How much longer will He wait before His judgment comes? How are we to face our God, from Whom we cannot hide? What then is left for us to do, but stem this evil tide? If we who are His children, will humbly turn and pray; Seek His holy face and mend our evil way: Then God will hear from Heaven and forgive us of our sins, He'll heal our sickly land and those who live within. But, America the Beautiful, if you don't - then you will see, A sad but Holy God withdraw His hand from Thee. ~Judge Roy Moore Pass this on and let's lift Judge Moore up in prayer. He has stood firm and needs our support.

WAY OF THE MASTER RADIO

Think of it. This will be live on the internet, on satellite and as many land stations as possible. The Way of the Master Radio will link us live to you, so that we can encourage and equip each other. We will have regular input with live call-in question and answer sessions, a lot of witnessing, open air preaching, lots of laughs, random phone calls to the unsaved, and teaching about how to reach the lost. There’s nothing like this on radio--equipping the Church world-wide to reach the unsaved. It will help to bring together an army of believers from around the world. We are delirious with excitement about this, and hope that you are too. With our friend Todd Friel as host and your support, The Way of the Master Radio will become a reality. We never ask for support for ourselves, but we are asking you to get behind this very worthy cause. Thank you for your prayers and support. ~ THE WAY OF THE MASTER RADIO ~

FREEDOM FROM THE FEAR OF MAN

Have you ever been paralyzed by fear? Most unsaved people have at one time or another been gripped by some terrible fear, but Christians are plagued by it. It is a continual battle for each of us because we are involved in a war for the souls and men and women. Fear is perhaps the greatest weapon the enemy has, because it strips faith of its power. But God has given us wonderful keys so that we can release ourselves from this paralyzing prison PLEASE CLICK HERE AND LISTEN TO #3

THE JESUS PAINTER

Mike Lewis has been painting at Christian events since mid 1998. He paints large portraits of Christ in under twenty minutes. It began when his close friend, Christian songwriter Seth Haines, told him that he had written a song called "Intimate Portrait" and wanted Mike to paint a portrait of Christ on stage during the song. Although Mike was in art school, he had never really painted before. The request was actually rather unreasonable in terms of possibility. Seth wanted a portrait large enough for an entire audience to see and also a likeness to Christ painted in seven minutes. Artists will tell you that usually portraits are very time consuming and some spend years on a single piece. Intimidated by the request but challenged by God Mike decided to trust him and began planning for the painting. After several months of thought and preparation the night arrived. Mike did not have the available funds to do a practice painting so the first try was live on stage. After a short prayer with his friend Mark Herrera that whatever happened God would be glorified through the artwork he walked to the stage and began to paint. Mike says that immediately everything disappeared except the canvas. He has described it as his most peaceful personal time with Christ. He began to swirl colors from the entire spectrum into the face of Christ, then at the end of the painting when the face was recognizable he began to throw blood (red paint) right in Jesus' face. This can be painful to watch but we need to realize that we are responsible for the blood that he shed. Many people were in the crowd who wanted Mike to come paint for a youth group or church service, the rest as they say "was history". Now there are eleven different compositions that Mike has developed, four of which are available to the public. He now paints and speaks on a regular basis. A new ministry is born. Glory to God!

ESCAPING THE PORN TRAP

*Overcoming pornography addiction by the power of God featuring Jimmy Evans and Tom Lane, plus Laurie Hall and others* ~ We are living in the days where the virtual has actually become the real. Let me clarify. Jesus said that whosoever looks upon a woman with lust has already commited adultery with her in his heart. That in actuality, is a reference to the 7th Commandment. Is pornography a danger to me spiritually? Well, maybe we should be asking a different question in light of the above. To God, the virtual is the real.In fact, the virtual is the spiritual! We are to guard our hearts as believers, but how can we have complete victory in this life over the world ,the flesh and the devil? The answer is to care enough to get armed. There is a NOW reward for walking in purity.There is something that the church is truely lacking in these days ~ God Confidence. Purity gives us spirtual weight. Sinful indulgence strips us of our God confidence. It opens the door to the enemy and invites him in to plunder our aquired treasure thru our relationship with the Holy One. If you are still reading this , you probably realize that you are living behind enemy lines and thus need to be equipped. The above is one resource to help in the fight. You owe it to yourself to check it out. Don't listen to the voice that may be whispering in your ear to jump to another article . Something heavy is in the balance. There is such a thing as freedom .

HOW LITTLE DO YOU HAVE ?

Take a moment and think !!! Are you stuck? Are you tired? Are you sick and tired of being stuck? Are you waiting on God for an answer that seems too long in coming? Again, stop for a moment and think !! If you belong to Him you are in good hands.~ He is working something out in you. Now is your time to give Him your loaves and fishes. 'But it's all I have!', you say. That might be true, but give it anyway . One thing is guaranteed ~ when the fragments of the baskets are picked up, nothing will be wasted and your needs will have been met. So give it up. Release it to Him, commit it to Him and watch what He does with the little you have given. This is the beginning of your miracle.

"THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST" `~ WE MAY NOT BE ASHAMED OF JESUS, BUT ARE WE ASHAMED OF HIS WORDS ?
"Paul wrote to Timothy, "Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord . . . but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel . . ." (2 Timothy 1:8, emphasis added). It is the testimony of Jesus that causes "sufferings for the gospel." The apostle John was banished to the Isle of Patmos "for the testimony of Jesus Christ" (Revelation 1:9). Revelation also tells us that it is those who "have the testimony of Jesus Christ" who receive persecution in the last days (Revelation 12:17). What then does Scripture mean by the "testimony of our Lord"? What did Jesus testify? He specifically tells us in John 7:7: "The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil" (emphasis added). He was hated because He testified against the sin of the world, and He preached about the reality of hell more than He did about heaven." (TAKEN FROM RAY COMFORT'S SIDE COLUMN FOR THIS MONTH) All who live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. The new testament writings of Paul declare this. We are to beware when all men speak well of us. We are living in days when Jesus has become merely a life enhencement addition to our lifestyle. We live like Lot did in Sodom. He sat at the gates of that city, saw the sin and yet did not reprove or speak out a testimony against it. He and his family had to eventually be dragged out of that place by angels before God rained down His Holy Judgement against sin. Let him who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Let us become indeed a peculiar people separated unto God, Holy like Him and zealous of good works, thus we will bear the testimony of Jesus Christ as we walk. selah.
