Mission to India

My daughter, Marina, is in Chennai, India this week. She is with a missions team from Kansas helping to relieve the many needs in this area. If you go to this link, you will see this team and can read about all they are doing for the many homeless and rejected people.

Streams of Mercy

In their culture, if you even have a family member with leprosy or contract AIDS, you are considered “less” than the “untouchables.” Small children are put out of their homes because they are HIV+. These children long for human touch and love. This team has been able to give just that, plus food, fun activities, and most importantly the message of God’s love to these poverty stricken, yet joyful people!

Thank you for caring team!

Flirting with Temptation!

There are lots of tempting things in this world: money, food, gossip, sex, power… What tempts you? None of us has a perfect record. Even Jesus, himself, was tempted. If we know that we have a weak area, what do we do to change that? Do we guard ourselves by protecting our hearts? Flirting with temptation is like standing with our toes over the edge of a cliff. If we fall, the price may be very high.

Inspiration

When was the last time you felt truly inspired? Hopefully, the answer is today, or better yet, right now! If not, what will you do about it? There are many ways to stir the embers of our hearts. It is from an inspired heart and mind that beauty flows. I always think of artists such as Michelangelo when I think of inspiration.

Michelangelo said: “Many believe, and I believe, that I have been designated for this work by God.”

Have you found your place in this world? A little inspiration can help!

The Shattered Heart

Unfortunately, I know all about this topic. Fortunately, however, I also know God and how he redeems any situation. If your heart is broken, then take courage, for God is leading in front and guarding us in back. He says HE will NEVER abandon us. Moreover, he is very close to the broken hearted. He is the God who turns our wailing into laughter. My life is living evidence of this promise.

Scrutinizing Self-Talk

“I’m an idiot!”, “I can never make up my mind!”, “What a jerk!”, “I’m not too bright”, “I’m can’t think anymore”, etc., etc., etc. I’m sure YOU have never said such things to yourself! Well, maybe you have… you wouldn’t be alone. Why are we so unkind to ourselves? Is this ok with God? What does He have to say about us? It’s time to “line up” with our maker.

Drawing The Line At Abuse

If you were in an abusive relationship, would you even know it? That may seem like a silly question, but it isn’t. Many prior abuse victims state that they lost perspective in their relationship. They were unable to see how bad their own situation had become. Early warning signs are usually present. They must not be missed because the pattern of abuse usually escalates. There is help for the “trapped” feeling victim. Tune in today and hear Kalena tell why she remained in an abusive marriage for 26 years. Listen to the hopeful message that she will share!Music for today's show:
