Pastor Appreciation Month

October is.....

PASTOR APPRECIATION MONTH!!


Now is the time to plan that special event to recognize your pastor for all of the hard work and devotion given to you and your congregation.


Put together something special to let he or she know just how much you appreciate everything they do. How about a party, everyone loves a party, where the entire church gathers to celebrate. Perhaps a card or small gift to offer ecouragement and thanks. Whatever you do it will be an appreciated source of inspiration for them to continue offering up their lives in service to the Lord.


Pastors do so much, usually without much acknowledgement, and the road can get rough. Do something special this month to let them know you care.

Are You Afraid?

When was the last time you faced fear right in the face and found it unbearable? Bad news from the boss, horrible diagnosis from the doctor, sad news from a loved one or financial problems when the bills outspent the income. Whatever the circumstance it is never simple.

Everyone of us at one at one time or another get caught up in the doubt caused by our fears. It's a human thing to do. Fortunately we have a Father who loves us and has promised to never leave nor forsake us in our times of need. And, quite remarkably, it is when we are in the midst of the calamity when He becomes the most clear to us.

Check out the latest by Max Lucado, Fearless, for some of the most down home, common sense advice and inspiration for facing your fears head on. We don't have to do it alone and if we let God help, the fears flee in the face of His light.


Fearless

Saving Freedom

Are our Liberties Being Hi-Jacked?


I'm just wrapping up an interesting read, Saving Freedom, by Senator Jim Demint. As with several other sources, including James D. Kennedy of Coral Ridge Ministries and David Barton of WallBuilders.com - author of Original Intent, Sen. Demint spells out the very definite way in which our fore-fathers embraced Christian values as the basis for our constitution.

In his book, Sen. Demint relates the original intention of America's founders based upon historical evidence. He also expands upon how our current government is far from the original intent with examples and evidence that will make you think.

Senator Demint isn't the only politician that believes in what the majority of America knows is right, but he is one of the few who will risk staking his political career on those values.

Give the book a read. Let me know what you think.
