Hope and Expectancy

I know so many of God’s people who are weary. I don’t mean to sound down, because I’m not, but I have been – and you have been too. It’s not possible to live in this world at this time without feeling the effects of some of its pressures. Everywhere we look, everywhere we turn, there is evil all around us and it wears on us. And, if we don’t watch out, we can be overtaken by the sheer force of it.

Not only are we dealing with the effects of the world’s woes, but most of us are dealing with an unusual effort to bring us down in one way or another – be it finances, relationships, our health, our families, or any number of other life crises. Continue reading →

Georgia Town Stands Up To Anti-Christianists

Residents of Gainesville, Georgia are telling an anti-Christian organization to mind their own business and to quit attempting to bully their children.

The anti-Christian American Humanist Association has been harassing the Chestatee High School officials and students because of the football team’s staff participating in team prayers and for religious messages appearing at times in team documents.

Over 200 people showed up for an unplanned prayer rally in the middle of the football field Wednesday morning with a simple message: stay out of our town.

“I am a mom of two of the football players on the CHS football team and I consider it an honor and a privilege to have my boys on a team that is led by men that believe and trust in God,” a woman said. “I think it’s a shame for one person to try and take that away from them.”

The anti-Christianists say that offenses include coaches “having clasped hands with players” while prayers were taking place and that cheerleaders once held a banner that said “Iron sharpens iron, Proverbs 21:17.”

“The liberal atheist interest groups trying to bully Chestatee High School kids say they have a reason to believe that expressions of religious freedom are ‘not an isolated event’ in Northeast Georgia,” Congressman Doug Collins wrote in a statement to Fox News. “They’re right. In Hall County and throughout Georgia’s 9th district, we understand and respect the Constitution and cherish our right to worship in our own way.”

Collins said it was interesting that the American Humanist Association is focusing on harassing Christian students at the same time Christians are being killed in Iraq for simply being Christians.

“It’s utterly disgusting that while innocent lives are being lost in Iraq and other places at the hands of radical religious terrorists, a bunch of Washington lawyers are finding the time to pick on kids in Northeast Georgia,” he said.

Loving God – Loving Each Other

Things are really happening fast in our world and we find ourselves racing toward the Second Coming of Jesus at lightning speeds. People are really looking for a “now” word and they often look to us. That’s why I want to say that there is no more important word than the one the follows: The Church must come together as a family who love each other and pray and support each other because things are going to get real crazy, very soon.

There are many people who know Jim and me because we are public figures, and more and more of them are becoming closer to us as we experience the signs of Revelation.  I have had people write in and tell us that we are their “family” and I have to tell you, that really touches my heart and we feel the same way.  Continue reading →
