Refuge

A man from Texas says that he had a plan that if he were ever caught out in a tornado or such, he would pull alongside the road and hide in a culvert. (A culvert is a large pipe used to channel water and is used to allow water to pass underneath a road, railway, or embankment for example.) The man changed his mind upon seeing these two photos taken by a Texas Power and Light crew who were putting in lines for an addition to the Hallettsville Airport and found the following in a culvert they were using... The gator was 18' 2" long. The rattlesnake roundup totaled 87. In what might we find "refuge"?... Drugs, porn, tv, alcohol or people who tell you what you want to hear rather then what you need to hear or escaping from life through gaming or shopping...What we think we find refuge" in can sometimes have the potential to destroy us. The scripture says in Psalms 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." When looking for a ...

I still believe memory verses are in style. Memorizing scripture is much easier when you're a kid.

People often ask me how I handle multiple roles. I have to say most of the time it's just continuing to put one foot in front of the other and moving forward. There are many days I don't get it all done...even when I stay up very late trying. There are days when I'm exhausted...days I just relax. With every role in my life I feel like I'm flopping with at least one of them at any given moment. I've learned that one of the greatest tactics of the enemy is to flaunt whatever I am struggling with and try to get me to focus on my feelings of inferiority so much that I stop what I am doing. Putting one foot in front of the other and moving forward is what sets an effective person apart from an who isn't. The commitment to stay in the race and not quit despite whatever we feel is one of the most important attributes we can posses. Tommy Barnett pastor of Phoenix First Assembly and co-pastor of LA Dream Center often says,"if we feel like quitting that...
