Just a quick note that the software running on this site has a pretty major upgrade ready. For example, it will introduce clubs (social groups) which we used to have many years ago. This will allow members to have their own groups separate from the main forum. There are many other features also (see below). Please note that during the upgrade, the site may revert to a plainer looking form until customizations can be put back in place. Regards, pradmin Highlights There's a lot of new feature in 4.2 but here are a few of the highlights: Promoting Content - A new way to promote content in your Community internally, on Facebook, and on Twitter...

For in HIs presence there is healing divine. He will cleanse your heart. He will purify your soul. He will make you a new person. So, our house should be a place for Bible study and prayer. Lost souls will come in and find Jesus. A gate to enter heaven. Dear Jesus, You are welcome in our home. Omnipotent Father of mercy and grace Thou art welcome in this place. No other power can heal us, restore us and send peace and joy down deep in our souls. Welcome Jesus every single day of your life. He will make your place a blessing to those who will come in. Remember that life is a stopping place. We are on our way to heaven. A resting place on our way to glory. Jesus awaits for all of us glory. To give each one a Crown...

My Favorite Sermon . . . God never ceases to amaze me in His ability to take that which appears small on the surface, and exalt it beyond measure. Three of my favorite statements in the Bible are comprised of some the smallest words in the English language, in terms of “character composition.” Yet, because of the character of the composer, they are the most meaningful and the most powerful words in the Bible: I, AM, BUT, GOD, YES, AMEN. Hence, my favorite sermon is “But GOD,” because when you know who “I AM” is, “But God” is promised: And, to all of the promises of God, is “Yes and Amen.” Have a “But GOD” day! "Because of Who You Are" - Vicki Yohe Ain’t He good?! I dare you to...

Union with Christ is both a position we are in, "We are chosen in him before the foundation of the world" (Eph 1:3), and a position we are called to as God beckons us to draw near: "Come with confidence before the Throne of Grace to Receive Mercy and find Grace for Help in Time of Need" (Heb 4:16). The conduit of branches being "in the vine" in John 15 is an appropriate picture country, rustic, agrarian, farming people of Jesus day and vintners in modern times, understood and understand -- branches get sap from the vine and the vine gets moisture from he roots -- but we an even more human, picture of dependence and freely receiving could also be "Come before the Throne of Grace to freely receive mercy and grace like a baby in the womb...

"God is calling...'Come, take my hand, I will give you rest.' Spiritually, physically and mental rest, for of these one may find unable to achieve alone. The principles of obtaining this 'rest' comes not easy. So often one needs overwhelming difficulties as a wake-up, to fully realize...HELP IS NEEDED. Being ever witnessed, the disturbing emotional anguish of those wanting God to hurry up and simply give what is so selfishly asked for......God is not a vending machine...believe it! God's love is a tough love, with tough and hard work on our part...believe it! All the 'readings' and pretentions to impress shall be meaningless...for of social attention bears it's own rewards, self recognition...

God is not mad at you God is not mad at you. You may be mad at you and disappointed with yourself. Your wife or your husband or your kids may be mad at you. Your employer may be mad at you and even your friends may be mad at you but God is not. Is your sin habit beating you up and tearing your insides apart? Is it wrong to sin? Of course it is. Sit with God, get alone and be honest with him, tell him it's not a surprise. My sin habits were so bad they cost me everything more than once. Before I ever even realized there was another way, then the work of learning who I really am began, started with a thousand setbacks. Even while moving in power I could see no way out of my sin habits and then God showed me the way. His name is...

*Insert Jaws theme here* As I posted earlier today, I'm not feeling emotionally or spiritually well today. I struggle with anxiety and depression and it's really weighing me down today. Unfortunately, when I have an episode like this it's almost as if there are these brick walls separating me from God, and I have to put in more effort to break through those walls. This is particularly difficult because one of the side affects of anxiety and depression is lack of motivation. So I've learned from experience that if I sit and do nothing, I only get worse. It is up to me to seek Him. So seek, I must. Here are 21 great verses from the Bible that are a little dose of chicken soup for the soul if you will. Check them out. Crack open...

His truth is marching on. We must see the fields that are ready for harvest. Laborers are few. Pray to the Lord that He will send more laborers into the field. So, let us all bless the Lord with ouf whole heart and all that is within us bless His holy name. He will hear us and send more laborers into His field.

Don't let anyone, or any circumstance steal your joy or your peace, God gave you Joy and He gave you Peace, the only way you can lose them is by giving them to the enemy. Protect your blessings! INJA If you lost your joy and your peace go back to the Father and get them back!!! God Bless You!!!

To know HIm is to love Him. To feel His holy presence is to rest in peace, in joy and in happiness. Touch the hem of His garment and You will find a treasure that will make your life and mine full of joy. He is the first thing we can think of. Loneliness and unhappiness dissapear from our life when we do this. Each morning when we rise we should open our windows and look up the sky and see if Jesus is coming back for us to take us all home to heaven. He should be the last thing we can think of before we go to bed. Just rest in His holy presence. Thank Him for being there for you. Hear His voice. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Amen
