McDonald’s Goes Homosexual
By webmaster | July 7, 2008
McDonald’s has weighed in on the culture war on the side of the gay and lesbian cause. It is pledge the use of McDonald’s name, logo, and endorsement to the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC). That website now proudly lists McDonald’s as a “Corporate Partner.”
The American Family Association says that McDonald’s status as a corporate partner means their financial and symbolic support greatly aids anti-family causes such as same-sex “marriage.” At the 31,000 McDonald’s restaurants, expect the Gay and Lesbian welcome mat to be extended.

Churches That Pray!
By webmaster | June 13, 2008
When Jim Cymbala became pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, the first Sunday there were 15 people in attendance and a grand total of $85.00 in the morning offering toward a 
mortgage payment of $232.00 plus utilities and other bills. The building was small. The walls needed painting. The windows were dingy and the floor was bare. It was both “pathetic and laughable.” [1] The first two years were years of testing – meager salaries, funding challenges, constant struggles. All of that brought him to a place of humility. He learned a principle: “God is attracted to weakness. He can’t resist those who honestly and desperately admit how bad they need him.” [2] He recalled, “The embarrassing truth is that sometimes I did not want to show up for a service - that is how bad it was.” In that season of holy desperation, God spoke to him, “If you and your wife will lead my people to pray and call upon my name, you will never lack for something fres
h to preach. I will supply all the money that’s needed, both for the church and for your family, and you will never have a building large enough to contain the crowds I will send in response.” [3] The Tuesday evening prayer service at Brooklyn Tabernacle is riveting! The house is full. The people pray – really pray! And the little congregation in Brooklyn is little no more. It is known around the world.

3. Pray at bedtime. Include a bed-time Bible story. That daily habit is a powerful and comforting closure to the day.

Discerning Prayer!
By webmaster | June 8, 2008
There is a wonderful old story of a group of blind men who had each found a different part of the same elephant. “What is it?” one cried to another. “A tree,” said the one who had taken hold of the elephant’s leg. “No, a rope,” said the one who had his tail. Each had a different answer – a snake, a fan, a wall, a spear! Each had only a piece of the elephant and not the whole. A cognitive approach in prayer gives you a piece of data, an emotive approach another piece. What is needed is not a left or right brain prayer experience, but a holistic approach.
