Declare

"I am coming soon.  Hold on to what you have, so that no one can take your crown!" Rev. 3:11

O dead churches, wake up! O Christ, descend! Scarred head,take Your crown! Bruised hands, take Your sceptor! Wounded feet, take Your throne! For thine is the kingdom!

     "In July  1829 it pleased God to reveal to my heart the truth regarding the return of the Lord Jesus and to show me that I had made a great mistake by sitting back and watching for the complete conversion of the world.  It produced the following effect on me: Deep within my soul, I was moved to feel compassion for perishing sinners and for a world lulled to sleep by the wicked enemy.  And I began to think, 'Should I not do whatever I can for the Lord Jesus and try to awake His slumbering church before He returns?' ".   - George Mueller

     Today it is 2012, on the brink of 2013....183 years closer to the return of our Lord than when Brother Mueller spoke this quote and with a even greater urgency, I believe, to see that this commission is carried out!  Church, let's open our hearts, our time, our pocketbooks but mostly our mouths and declare boldly the Truth that we have been given! "God is Not dead, He is surely Alive...".

Word of the Day- Totemism

      to-tem-ism [toh-tuh-miz-uh m]
            the human tendency to form our conception of God in our own image.  Human beings, whether aboriginal tribes in the jungle or sophisticated clans (or not so sophisticated Klans) in industrial countries, is take the values and traditions that we most admire about ourselves and project them onto a totem.  Eventually we stand in awe of that totem and end up worshiping an incarnation of the things we love about ourselves.  As George Bernard Shaw said, "God created us in His image and we decided to return the favor."
