A chronic menstrual disorder. A perpetual issue of blood. Such
A condition would be difficult for any woman of any era. But
For a Jewess, nothing could be worse. No part of her life was left
Unaffected.
Sexually..she could not touch her husband
Maternally – she could not bear children.
Domestically-anything she touched was considered unclean. No washing dishes , no sweeping floors.
Spiritually—she was not allowed to enter the temple.
She was physically…

Unanswered Prayer: Nineteen Reasons
God wants to answer our prayers and there are countless promises in the Bible that can be claimed in that regard. We need to ask with every expectation of getting answers! However, sometimes answers to prayer are delayed or go unanswered for a variety of reasons. The following thoughts indicate some of the more common reaons for unanswered prayers.
A. Unanswered Prayer: Is Not God's Desire.
Matt. 7:7,8
Mark 11:24

Hellow everyone. We are asking for prayers for Cecile's Dad. We just found out that he had a stroke yesterday. His brain is swollen and they found a clot at the back of his brain. Needless to say, this has been very, very hard for Cecile and the whole family. Please pray for him - his name is Cristino as well as the whole Mejia family. Your prayer are much appreciated.
Have a blessed week.
Rico (& Cecile)

Funny how a $100 "looks" so big when taken to church, but so small when taken to the mall.
Funny how long it takes to serve God for an hour, but how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of basketball.
Funny how long a couple of hours spent at church are, but how short they are when watching a movie.
Funny how people can't think of anything…

The Christian and Government
Romans 13:1-13:7
God’s timing is always perfect. As I began preparing a sermon for July 4th weekend, I looked at the next chapter of Romans and what did I find before me? I found Romans 13 which deals the Christian’s role in government. How timely.
Remember, the Apostle Paul shifted gears beginning with Chapter 12. We have moved from learning to living. We are no longer talking about doctrine; we are talking about duty.…

I love you Lord, and I lift my voice to worship you... oh my soul rejoice! Take pride my King in what you hear! May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear...
After reading all my friend's replies to my somewhat desperate letter, I could't help remembering this old chorus we used to sing in my church. It is true that the Lord lives in our praises! I have had so much cause to praise and worship Him through the years for the many blessings that He had so lovingly showered upon me. How…

Please pray for our family. My Mom left her earthly home where she lived with me yesterday at 3p.m EST and this was also my Birthday. We know she is with Him and we rejoice for her, but we miss here here on Earth as she was our source of inspiration and faith for all of our lives!. I know there are not many that know her fight to live and the testimony she has had that we posted mostly on facebook but she was a mighty woman of God who was mostly an Intercessory Prayer Warrior and Soul Winner!

I was raised going to church every sunday. However, I was the trouble maker out of everyone I knew. I had been in a childrens home, house arrest, and home incarceration by the time I was 16. I was kicked out of my house that year and got pregnant. I lived with my boyfriend. I left him by 18 and left my son with him as well. I started drinking and using drugs again, as I had prior to the pregnancy. Cocaine was introduced to me and I was using every single day. I moved away with my sister to…

I have actually been concerned at the results from the excessive use of cell phones, hand-held devices, and internet use. It seems as though it internalizes people’s way of thinking into focusing on them selves. We purchase for self pleasure, view for self gain, support and strive for self recognition, seek self fulfillment, post massive amounts of self-portraits, and of course, spend more money on self indulgences. The levels of self-seeking opportunities are at an all time high. No wonder the…

I just wanted to thank God! He truly answered a prayer of mine when I really needed it. My daughter needed glasses and God provided a way for her to get the glasses when I was unable to get them. Thank you God for answering me and helping us when we really needed you!!!!!!

Good Morning~
Keeping our bookmarks in Acts 17, I want to explore this trait of Paul's that caused him to be so courageous--it seems like it was part character trait, part devotion, and part faith--it was his undying trust in Jesus Christ. Yesterday's briefing included some self-investigative questions--starting with the jumping-off point of total surrender of ourselves to God--including your thoughts about His love for you. Most Christians realize God is asking for us to surrender…

Psalms 73:1-73:28
Standing Firm when Life doesn’t seem fair
Psalm 73
Life isn’t fair.
I am 100% certain that you have either said that, thought that, or heard that before.
We see injustice on a daily basis.
On the news, we can see innocent people killed in drive by shootings, while the killers go free
In our neighborhoods, we see good people get cancer while those who seem to live hard partying lives, remain healthy
In the…
