Our Help Comes From The Lord

Two weeks ago while in church I was fervently praying that God would intervene to straighten out our twisted and hurting world. A still small voice kept saying: "Watch me work."

I prayed because the times are scary. The economy is sinking and politicians don't seem to know what to do about it. Jesus and Biblical truth are being mocked. Terrorists seem to have the nations locked in fear. Even as I write this, news is coming about charges of corruption by a top government official. The question is being asked: "Is there any help out there?"

Today I found confirmation in Psalm 46 of what that still small voice was telling me. Believers can take heart. God's Word confirms that our help comes from the Lord.

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble."

Psalm 46:1 (NIV)

.

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

Psalm 46:10 (NIV)

.

Believers, watch Him work.

Newsweek on Gay Marriage - A Response

Marriage and Biblical truth is under attack as never before.

Check out this excellent response to a recent Newsweek article by Albert Mohler here.

I pray more Christians, like Mohler, will study the Bible and speak out when Scripture is twisted to fit a political agenda.

So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. Revelation 3:16 (NIV)

.

Are you hot, cold or lukewarm?

Gay Marriage - Where Do You Stand?

Some things to think about.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." Genesis 1:26-28 (NIV)

.

"But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female. 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one. Mark 10:6-8 (NIV)

Do you believe the Bible? Do you believe Jesus? Where do you stand?
