The Joy After the Pain in the Waiting -- This is for the Singles

"I prayed for a strong, godly man, and God delivered! I'm glad He doesn't do things in OUR timing. His is much better!"

This quote is from a long-time single who just celebrated one year together with her man.  Take heart, dear single Christian men and women and remember:

 Abraham and Sarah had to wait a LONG time before Isaac came and he brought them much joy and laughter

 Hannah waited a LONG time for a child to be born and in God's time, He brought to her a son and to Israel a great man of God

 The children of Israel had to wait a LONG time in Egypt before they got to experience freedom but when they did, they saw the glory and power of God.

 The Jewish exiles had to wait a LONG time before they got back to their homeland.  

 In each of these cases, the wait made the fulfillment all the more enjoyable.  

 I pray that you will use this time wisely and be the man or woman of God that someone else will be able to say the above concerning.

 Perhaps these could be of help:

She needs your continued prayers," the family statement read.  Note:  The lone gunman killed himself after shooting Claire though clearly armed to do much more.  Thanks to the actions of an officer, the results were far less than the carnage he apparently wished to unleash.  Please join me in praying for Claire and all those impacted by this act of violence. image location Join me in praying for the families of Newtown who will experience their second Christmas  season w

Rob Bell's Love Wins: Chapter Four: Does God Get What He Wants?

Before I start, I want to make clear something from an earlier blogpost. I wrote of future events from a premillennial, dispensational perspective. By no means am I implying that is the only orthodox position. I will leave it to others who comment to give other orthodox perspectives, if they wish. My issue with Bell is not orthodoxy but what I view as error and obviously many godly, conservative Christian scholars agree with that assessment. Our differences over orthodox doctrine are within the family. We believe that Bell’s is outside of orthodoxy. The title of chapter four reveals the depth of Rob Bell’s misunderstanding. God would love for everyone to come to a knowledge of the truth and be saved by faith in Jesus. However, even as Bell acknowledges, a loving God will not force anyone. Therefore, He provided the natural revelation of who He is and special revelation through the transmission of the Bible, visions, dreams, miracles and ultimately and most spectacularly t
