Life has changed drastically in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we've still seen God move!

Prayer Walk in Your Neighborhood

Bless your neighborhood with the life-giving gift of prayer. Choose a time where you can be relaxed and enjoy the process. Below are some tips if you need some help getting started.
  • Ask God to open your eyes to the spiritual needs of the community.
  • Be observant. As you pass a home where there are toys for children, pray for their salvation, their current school situation, and for guidance and patience for their parents.
  • Pray for those you know are believers to be vocal about their faith and to be a strong witness in the community.
  • Pray for those who are not believers. Pray they will experience God's love in a way they never have before. Pray for God to open doors of ministry to them.
  • Pray for people who once attended church but have abandoned it for whatever reason.
  • Pray that the churches you know are represented in the neighborhood, that they will be strong witnesses, and be bold in getting outside the walls to meet needs of people in this community.
  • If you happen to meet people in person, tell them what you are doing and ask if you can pray for them. And don't forget to invite them to church.
  • You may want to pray out loud as you walk. If you're walking with someone, take turns in praying for homes as you go.
  • Keep your eyes open and pray while you walk. You don't have to stop walking to pray.
  • Just mention whatever comes to your mind as you walk. Make it an ongoing conversation with God. There may be moments of silence, and that is okay, too.

Let's Memorize Scripture!
March 6th, 2021
If someone asks my mother her age, she will often look to my father to answer for her. Or she will answer with her birth year rather than her actual age. I used to find that odd until someone asked me my age, and I was embarrassed when I could not answer. I guess I take after my mother. Many of you may find that odd, but I suspect some of you can relate. I’ve always admired those of you who have s...
The Effect of Shame on Sinners
March 5th, 2021
“For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and the glory of the Father and the holy angels.” (Luke 9:26) It’s a little hard to imagine how anyone could be ashamed of Jesus. Even Jesus challenged His enemies to prove He had sinned, which they couldn’t do. But even so, He still had enemies because of what He said. Some of His stronges...
The Way Down is The Way Up
March 4th, 2021
“For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, this is the one who will save it.” (Luke 9:24)What is man’s greatest need? Does he need to love himself more, or maybe have greater self-esteem, or possibly be more self-fulfilled? Did Christ come to give us better health, greater prosperity and the like? The Biblical answer is in complete opposition to this ...
