Thanksgiving Story
At our church, there was always an open mike at our Thanksgiving services. One year, my friend Ed Hale shared an amazing story. Ed was a policeman then and told us that a highway patrolman had quite an unusual experience.
Ed’s friend was on duty one night and gave a ticket to a speeding driver. When he went to the car, he sensed something evil. He told Ed that as he walked towards the car, the hairs on back of his neck stood up. Read More…
A Kind Spirit
Kindness – A Fruit Of The Spirit
I love God stories and love sharing them. This is one from a Pastor we know, in a country that persecutes Christians. He told us about one of his church members that had gone to jail for her faith. Although there wasn’t much food, she would always share it with the other prisoners. They could not break her kind spirit.
When she was released, a policeman was assigned to follow her. After following her for an entire year, he became a Christian too!
He told her that he had seen her kindness in prison and that he had been watching her for a year and had never met anyone with such a wonderful kind spirit. Then he asked her to marry him!
Surprised, this woman asked our friend, her pastor, what she should do. They did get married and are now serving the Lord together! Kindness is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
Pray Without Ceasing
How Can You Pray Without Ceasing?
In 1 Thessalonians 5, Paul tells us to “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
How can you pray without ceasing? I heard a wonderful answer from from a Community Bible Study teacher. You know how we all have a little inner voice?
It’s just a little shift in focus to shift our inner dialog upward instead of inward. Even in things as simple as shopping, you can be asking God to help you. Pray about the big things and pray about the small things too.
