Don't Settle For Less

Keep on progressing. Don't go back to the old way and mediocre things. Don't think that things cannot get better. Don't accept average as normal. Don't settle for less than best. "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize…

Shopping, Time, . . . . etc.

1. spent five hours at the mall today, went into just about every decent clothing store and tried on a hundred things, and couldn't find even one article of clothing that made me happy. but i love shopping solo so i had a lovely time, even if it was vaguely depressing, considering i couldn't find anything i needed or even wanted for that matter. 2. it's tough being a woman who can balance passion with patience. so i pray Lord that You will help me to know when it's time, when it's time to wait, and when it's time to…

Are You On A Breakthrough Or Burnout?

As a pastor for more than 25 years I have seen many people serving in ministry burn out in the name of Christ, then fall away from their purpose. This is even very common among senior leaders but it can be avoided. In the past several years, I have personally experienced my mind being tired, requiring me to pull back for several months lest I burnout! The following are signs that show whether you are on the verge of burnout or breakthrough. Read the full article on Breakthrough Or Burnout!

Laminin – The Cell Adhesion Molecule That Holds Us Together Is In The Shape Of The CROSS!

Laminin is a family of glycoproteins that are an integral part of the structural scaffolding in almost every animal tissue. Laminin is vital to making sure overall body structures hold together. It has four arms that can bind to four other molecules. The three shorter arms are particularly good at binding to other laminin molecules, which is what makes it so great at forming sheets. The long arm is capable of binding to cells, which helps anchor the actual organs to the membrane. "Electron microscopy reveals a cross-like shape for all laminins investigated so far."  AMAZING SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY!

Slumdog Millionaire – Reflection

As an Indian I am proud to know that Slumdog Millionaire has brought laurels to the country. Danny Boyle the director with Loveleen Tandon has produced a master piece.   A.R. Rahman deserves full praise and commendation for his world class contribution. The script writer Simon Beaufoy has woven the story in a very attractive style that the audience are not bored but taken along the narration.  The film has brought the stark realities of India before the global audience.  The elite of the country has spoken against the movie as it brings the other side of India, which is not IT superpower urban India but real India.

Christian Leaders Agree ‘End Is Near’

CHRISTIAN media leaders, preachers, pastors and ministry leaders are all agreed on one thing – that the end is near. According to an article in The Christian Post, published from the US, Christian leaders who are reading the signs of the times agree that the last days are here. Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of renowned evangelist Billy Graham and president of AnGeL Ministries, was quoted as telling a recent convention of the National Religious Broadcasters: “We’re looking at the end of human history. That our generation is the generation that precedes the return of Christ, what a privilege, what a…

How Americans View Themselves?

Barna Group is a pollster like Gallup and does very interesting survey of American Christendom. Some of it are controversial, while many are useful. This one is very interesting - How Americans view themselves?The research reveals that adults generally see themselves as good people, spiritually stable, and living a good and honorable life. Yet, despite the spiritual focus people claim, the study found that people’s lifestyles, attitudes and self-perceptions are more likely to be affected by their life-stage and ethnic culture than by their faith commitments.How important is religion to Americans? The study most Americans “feel accepted by God” (88%),…

The Shape Of The New International Order Begins To Emerge?

Perhaps the shape of the emerging new global economic measures is beginning to emerge in odd hints and phrases here and there. According to news reports in relation to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s visit to President Obama, Prime Minister Brown favours:(a) coordinated measures to stabilise the world economy, (b) reform and new regulation of the banking system and(c) increase of the International Monetary Fund's firepower to help countries hard hit by the crisis. Let’s take these one by one. Clearly (c) is not possible without enhanced contributions from one or more countries, unless the entire system for financing the…

My Sacrifice O God Is A Broken Spirit

Psalm 51 - A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.  1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.  2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.  3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.  4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge.  5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.…

Good Gifts From A Good God

One of the things that faith in Jesus does, is it makes you aware of how needy you are. The Gospel assaults any sense of being a self-made-man and shows you that you are dependent at all times. In salvation, you have to turn away from self-reliance and cast yourselves wholly upon the grace and mercy of God. But that kind of dependence extends to all of life. The breath you just breathed - that came from God. Everything is a good gift from the hands of a good God. In every way, He is the Giver and you are…

Punjabi Masihi Church Volleyball Outreach Ministry

VOLLEYBALL OUTREACH MINISTRY - 2008 SeasonVancouver, CanadaVolleyball Outreach Ministry was birthed out of a need to target an under served group within PMC with the Word of God.Using a different approach, we wanted to apply The Word to the youth and young adults, who all shared a link to PMC, and provide a platform for this group to bring in friends from outside the church too.The target audience had a varying range. It included those who attend Sunday service regularly, but didn't attend any prayer meetings, bible study's or other church events; the bulk of which were youth or young…

If . . . Then God . . .

This was an exercise from one of last week's lessons (from the Esther Study) that had to do with thinking through our greatest fears. I'm posting it because I don't want to forget. The "if" is our fear, the "then" is coming to terms with it in light of God's providence. After the "if" and before the "then", there will probably be plenty of heartbreak, sorrow, loss, hurt, distance and time...but after the struggle, there will be a "then" and not just a "then" but a "then God"... If every person I love and count on fails me, then God…

Speaks To Me

Little bits of good stuff from Beth Moore's Esther Bible Study I'm currently doing... "When was the last time you had to risk losing face to try to save something more precious that pride?" "Sometimes we fear that fighting for what is right will kill us. Then again, it occurs to us that to stand by and do nothing out of self-preservation is to be dead already." "Beloved, in the times of greatest struggle when you make the Godward decision over convenience, earthly comfort, or carnal pleasure, you too have come to a critical moment in the fulfillment of your…

Outlasting Marital Unhappiness

I was thinking… A journalist who has written a series of books on family and marriage is suggesting that the longer a marriage lasts the more adjusted a couple is to each other. In spite of a diminishing libido, “Older couples, compared to middle-aged couples, expressed lower levels of anger, disgust, belligerence and whining and higher levels of one important emotion, namely affection….emotional stability steadily improves.” Then the author considered if unhappily married people should split up. Does divorce make people happy? Her “short answer seems to be rarely…unhappily married adults who divorced or separated were no happier, on average,…
