You need & deserve a secular sabbath

You need & deserve a secular sabbath

New York Daily News

Three texts came in during the last minute, and CNN is blasting out breaking news while updates scroll across the screen. Your boss is calling you on the cell — on Sunday afternoon — and while you’re talking to him, you hear the chime of new e-mails arriving. We all know the feeling: We’re living at the speed of light, more than at the speed of life.

A Different Kind of Prayer

A Different Kind of Prayer


Heavenly Father,

Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.

Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester.

Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares.

Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together.

Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.

Cuba undergoes a religious revival

The Guardian

Raul Castro was a Jesuit schoolboy before turning to communism, and after a lengthy meeting with Pope Francis last month, he told Vatican reporters he was so impressed he was considering a return to the church. They laughed. “I’m serious,” said Castro, 84. If so, he would not be the first Cuban in recent years to find his way back to Jesus.

Obey

'Killer Wolf' Graphic T-Shirt

Item # 1014056

Link to Nordstrom

This item is so popular that it has been sold out! This is a clear indication that America is culturally and morally bankrupt. When Satanism is glorified and marketed to young people, clearly the enemies of God are here in America and faithful Bible-believing Christians are the target. God help us. - Advent Messenger
