Ministry Updates

It's only the second month of the New Year and already I'm thinking:

A) Where has the time gone?

B) My days pass by too quickly-life is too fast and . . . I'm tired!

As Anne Graham Lotz reflects in a recent ministry newsletter though, even more important than the need to discipline ourselves to take a break from time to time, our real concern needs to be avoiding becoming weary in our spirits.

Anne shares that in 2011, she is committed to making spiritual rest a priority - "the rest that's found in setting aside consistent time with ...

For me, it's the little things.  Like when my husband takes my hand and kisses it.  No words are needed ... just that simple gesture ... and I feel loved.

A year ago this month, Dennis Rainey asked that same question of his friends on Facebook.  As you can imagine, it generated a lot of comments.  Here are just a few:

• "He doesn't stare at other women, but makes a point to look away and focus only on me, giving me a smile or a wink. This makes me feel like the most beautiful woman alive."
• "My wife writes a ...

Sometimes, don't you just wonder what God sees in you?  Why He bothers with you?  I sure do.  

Recently while reading a passage in one of Emilie Barnes' books, I ran across what I think is the perfect Valentine's message.  

It told what God believes about us, and I wanted to share these simple thoughts with you, to remind you, as it did me, how much God cares for you: 

Because God loves you, He is slow to lose patience with you. 

Because God loves you, He doesn't treat you as an object to be manipulated. 

Because ...

I admit it . . . I'm a romantic at heart-especially around Valentine's Day.  Along with cherishing the hand made Valentine's cards from my children to the chocolates and flowers, I really love a good love story.

In a February's "Decision Minute" feature from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, listeners are reminded of the best love story of all. 

The program, titled, "A Love Story" reminds us that love is more than feeling, it's an action word . . . something God has called us to do.  And not just in regards to those who love us, but perhaps even more ...

A worldview is the framework from which we view reality and make sense of life and the world.

For more than 20 years, Chuck Colson has been sharing the need for a Christian worldview with thousands of listeners on each day's edition of BreakPoint^®.  To amplify that, three years ago, The Point^® launched, affording stations the option of an abbreviated (1:00) worldview message.

Initially anchored by Mark Earley (former President of Prison Fellowship) who's voice was so appreciated, we are pleased to tell you that beginning Monday, March 7, a new voice will move into the speaker ...

How would you describe a perfect Valentine's Day?  Would it be all about flowers and chocolate or a romantic, candlelight dinner for two?  Some would hesitate to answer this question since many times, expectations fall short and the disappointment lingers far beyond the day.

I'm thankful that as a follower of Christ, all I have to do is open the Bible and read God's promises about love.  First John 4:8 says that "God is love" and there are many more verses that describe how deep God's love is for us.  This kind of love is ...
