I was just over at Elizabeth's blog and read some sad news about a fellow blogger. Since I don't know Heather I thought that I would pass a long what Elizabeth had to say. The blogosphere is a BIG place and I know that she will be comforted by ALL of your thoughts and prayers.

Bagi umat muslim, solat merupakan kebutuhan yang apabila ditinggalkan maka akan merugi.
Ada banyak sekali faktor yang membuat kita lalai solat. Salah satunya adalah tak tahu kapan waktu solat.

Salvation Prayer Jesus, be merciful to me a sinner. I confess and forsake my sins, and ask you to forgive me, and make me a child of God, for you have said, “...whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Acts 2:21) Thank you for dying for me, taking my place in judgment, that I might be pardoned. I take you as the Saviour, and Lord (Master) of my life. Help me to read your word, confess you, and live for you. Amen John 1:12 KJV “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: “ John 3:16,17 KJV[16] For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.[17] For God sent not His Son into the world to condem
I am confused and afraid, God. Changes are coming too fast.
I cry out to You without holding back. Oh, if You would listen to me!
I am in deep trouble, and I search for You, Lord.
All the lonely night I pray, hands reaching toward heaven, pleading.
I know there will be no joy for me until You intervene.
I think of You, God, and I moan, overwhelmed, longing for Your help.

The past few weeks I've been reminded in a bunch of ways of just how woefully inadequate I've been when it comes to praying to God in all things. As Christians I feel we constantly need to be in relationship with Christ, seeking guidance, asking for things we need and praising him for all the blessings he has given us. This includes praying about our financial life.Photo by greefus groinksA couple of weeks ago at church our pastor talked about prayer in his message. He said that we need to approach God in prayer, and not just with generalities, but with specifics. A lot of times we don't see the need to be specific in our prayer because we figure that "God already knows what I need". But God likes specifics. Look at the story of the blind man that was healed by Jesus in Luke 18:He c
In the midst of our hectic days I totally forgot to post an update on both Tiffany and Apryl. I am so glad that after hearing the first report of Tiffany having a mass discovered in her abdomen to wait before panicking. It was indeed as I expected....they once again read the x-rays wrong. Or rather what was seen on the x-rays did not show up on the c-scan or sonogram. The miracle of prayer or the incompetence of the hospital ....you decide. Tiffany is still in the hospital and on morphine because she is in so much pain. As of this morning she developed an ileus in her intestines. This is when the normal peristalisis movement of the intestine just stop working. This seems to be common in children with severe cerebral palsy. I'm praying they have it resolved soon.Apryl ended up in t

In the realm of Christianity, Pentecost commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus as described in the Book of Acts. It is historically and symbolically connected to the Jewish festival of Shavuot. Pentecost is celebrated in the Christian calendar seven weeks after Easter Sunday.This year, Pentecost Sunday will fall on May 11. For the last 3 years, Pentecost Sunday has been celebrated worldwide in a Global Day of Prayer. This is coined Ten leading up to One followed by Ninety.This is the three-part birth of the Christian church: ten days of constant prayer leading to Pentecost, one day of prayer witnessed by the whole city and ninety days of blessings that follow.10 Ten days of constant prayer: 1-10 May 2008.

Being Christian e-book publishers as well as the fact that we just celebrated the 'National Day of Prayer', we tend to get a lot of e-mail asking questions regarding prayer and the receiving of God's 'good things'. Unfortunately many people think that there must be some 'special methods' or 'tools' or even special words needed to get God's blessings! I'm saying it again here, that it just isn't so. No special words, phrases, methods or tools are needed to receive God’s blessings. One needs to understand that when they are feeling a 'bit strange' or a 'bit philosophical' even ‘serendipitous’ that it is okay and most times those feeling are to assist us in recognizing them as the 'Call To Prayer'. All one has to do is to simply answer 'The Call'. God wants us to receive all the best
I'm not much into politics. In fact, they pretty much make me crazy. The mean spirited divisiveness is tragic. In a time in which we need to be united, we are divided. How I wish it were not so.In the midst of this volatile political season, today is the National Day of Prayer. It's my hope that you make each day a day of prayer. There is nothing better than walking in constant communion with God, and maintaining an open dialog of prayer through out the day (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). I am encouraged though by the call for all in America to come together and pray.Will you pray?

Tomorrow, May 1st, is being promoted by Christians as the National Day of Prayer. So they all get together and pray for... what? It's hard to believe that nobody has ever prayed to end the war or feed all of the starving children or end poverty or rid the world of all suffering, etc. And if they have (and they surely have) and we still have all of these things (and we certainly do), then how the hell can they still believe prayer works?It's the same old thing. The Bible-God just can't lose! If Christians pray for something and they get it, they thank him for answering their prayers. And if the thing they prayed for doesn't happen, they excuse him with something like, "It wasn't God's will" or "God has his reasons."

Our reading, John 17:1-11, retells part of Jesus' prayer the night before he died. Jesus had just finished a great discourse with his friends as they sat together after supper. He spoke words of comfort. “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me." (John 14:1) He offered insight, "I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6) He unveiled mysteries, "I am in

Prayers, well-wishes, good vibes, candles, incense, whatever you do today for Rev. Jane Spahr who goes before the Presbyterian Supreme Court, andStudents all over who are participating in the Day of Silence.
By Rev. J. Emmette Weir, For The Guardian:
The recent incident here in Grand Bahama, in which some misguided but evidently, devout religious folk, sought to achieve the resuscitation (I refuse to dignify such bizarre behaviour with the term "resurrection") of a cadaver up to the eighth day by means of the exercise of faith "through prayer and fasting" certainly requires most careful consideration, and profound theological reflection at this time.
Such a procedure represents a gross misunderstanding of the teaching of the Bible — a dangerous departure from sound Christian theology and the demonstration of a lack of faith, the very virtue it purports to express.
While much has been said by religious leaders on this subject, clearly indicating that it is not in keeping with a proper

Bible Questions Answered:What is considered vain repetitions?Lanny A. / Oak Park, Chicago Bible Answers: Prayers of Vain Repetitions, are prayers of rote. These prayers are not, spontaneous, and because they are not, there is no feeling and no personal supplication from the heart. The one, thus praying thinks that he or she will be heard, simply because of all the volume of praying that they are doing. False. Matthew 6:1-8 KJV[1] Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.[2] Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men.

Say a Little Prayer
Squirrels had overrun three churches in town. After much prayer, the elders of the first church determined that the animals were predestined to be there. "Who are we to interfere with God's will?" they reasoned. Soon, the squirrels multiplied.
The elders of the second church, deciding that they could not harm any of God's creatures, humanely trapped the squirrels and set them free outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back.
It was only the third church that succeeded in keeping the pests away. The elders baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter.
A good friend to our blog, Deacon Robert Baker, of the Jersey City Police Department, sent me this policeman's prayer in anticipation of the upcoming Police Week.

In the words of the JCPD, "Be Alert, Stay Alive."
I'm mentioned this before, but I thought I'd mention it again. I love student ministry. I do. I love my students. This world is going to be turned upside down by my peeps.Unfortunately at times it can be the hardest thing. But then at other times it's the most rewarding experience ever.Obviously I'm not in it for the experience... I'm in it for the students.I love it when I get to talk with them about things going on in their life... and how I get to offer hope... then it's even better when we talk a few weeks later and things have changed in their life! Man oh man... there's nothing like it.We've been having a deeper focus on prayer before our services within the last months (and in my personal life).

1. Teaching Children (and Yourself) to Pray Effectively
"Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.'"1
A Daily Encounter reader writes, "How can I explain to my child how God answers prayers. My oldest son, 6 yrs old, has been praying that he would not have nightmares and be scared at night and for help with his behavior at school. How can I reinforce his belief in God when he doesn't think that his prayers are being answered?
Dear Suzanne (name changed): Actually this is an ideal opportunity to teach your son how to pray so God will answer his prayer
Just a very quick post. I'm off shortly to the book store. They called the other night and asked if I would come in for a couple hours tonight. They are having a special event for the Autism Society. They said I would either be at cash-wrap or in kids. I called back after we got off the phone and talked to one of the managers. I told her either would be fine but that kids might be a good fit given my counseling background. I'm not sure they realized I had that. Not that I would do counseling tonight or anything. But, I told her I may be less likely than most to be put off by unusual behavior.Autism spectrum disorders are being diagnosed more and more. There are a range of them -- severe and some just kind of quirky. But I know the value in each child feeling valued even if they cannot seem

O Lord, you received affronts without number from your blasphemers, yet each day you free captive souls from the grip of the ancient enemy.You did not avert your face from the spittle of perfidy, yet you wash souls in saving waters.You accepted your scourging without murmur, yet through your meditation you deliver us from endless chastisements.You endured ill-treatment of all kinds, yet you want to give us a share in the choirs of angels in glory everlasting.You did not refuse to be crowned with thorns, yet you save us from the wounds of sin.In your thirst you accepted the bitterness of gall, yet you prepare yourself to fill us with eternal delights.You kept silence under the derisive homage rendered you by your executioners, yet you petition the Father for us although you are his equal in
