WE ARE THE BODY-JOINED TOGETHER

This is from my Mom's Praying for the Generations blog, to important not to share it here.  http://momsprayingforthegenerations.blogspot.com/2012/06/we-are-body-joined-together.html    WE ARE THE BODY-JOINED TOGETHER By Daneille Gray Snowden FOCUS OF PRAYER IS: PRAY FOR THE CHURCH TO BE ONE. [Please note all highlighted words directs you to a link.] Recently the Lord has burdened me for  Bodies of Christ  in my own community who are deeply hurting as they are being torn apart. Groups are getting up and moving on to a larger church in town or starting their own little meetings scattered all around. This is such a common problem that has existed for decades. We all find ourselves not even flinching when this occurs. Kinda like marital divorce between husband and wife; our cultural has become somewhat callused to it. Yet, it is not God's plan for either one. I have counselled several lately from other bodies that are weeping over this painful brokenness that has occ

FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES

7 FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES Out of desperation creativity is birthed. I hope to add on to this post through the years. Churches love to give to dad's on Father's Day; sometimes this can be redundant and or expensive. A few short years ago we stepped out of the Evangelistic & Pioneer work to take a small church that is just great and out of the box. So, of course budget is minimal and I am 'it' when it comes to holiday decor and gifting ideas & doing them. The 4 gifts that my family and I put together are as follows:                       POPCORN/CANDY/MOVIE  We placed microwave popcorn, candy bar and a special Father's Day poem inside a popcorn bag.  FRAMED ART FROM LOCAL ARTIST/MINISTER  (Rev. Paul Gray)  MADE THIS INTO A FRAME & ADDED A PEN.                                             MINI GIFTS WRAPPED IN A HANKIE Pocket knife, Voice of the Martyrs Pendant  & candy! Al

LEGACY OF THE CROSS

Greetings my friends! Hope this summer has been spectacular for all of you. I wanted to share with you all my heart as I ponder on the legacy of the cross through fathers. Here is a personal note to my own daddy. Hope it inspires and blesses! LEGACY OF THE CROSS  Through My Father:    Rev. Paul F. Gray Father’s Day 2012    To many, the cross represents death. Obviously this is correct---but the cross is pointing! The Cross points to life beyond what we could ever imagine. When  the Lord Jesus’ died on the Cross of Calvary, there came a ‘gushing-out’ of much power and victory. In His death, souls were freed (even at that litteral  moment-Lu. 23:43); bodies healed, families restored and hope gained.     Not turning to the left or the right, but going forward carrying His cross our Lord did this for us, for our salvation and an example for all to live by.  In so much, as we all were once little children we had to learn by seeing as well as feeling and hearing.  C
