BRINGING OUR REQUESTS TO CHRIST
We sometimes fear to bring our troubles to God, because they must seem small to Him who sitteth on the circle of the earth. But if they are large enough to vex and endanger our welfare, they are large enough to touch His heart of love. For love does not measure by a merchant's scales, not with a surveyor's chain. It hath a delicacy... unknown in any handling of material substance.
--R.A. Torrey
God is Good ALL THE TIME !!!!
A man from Norfolk , VA called a local radio station to share this
on Sept 11th, 2003 , TWO YEARS AFTER THE TRAGEDIES OF 9/11/2001.
His name was Robert Matthews. These are his words:
A few weeks before Sept. 11th, my wife and I found out we were going to have our first child. She planned a trip out to California to visit her sister. On our way to the airport, we prayed that God would grant my wife a safe trip and be with her. Shortly after I said 'amen,' we both heard a loud pop and the car shook violently. We had blown out a tire.
I replaced the tire as quickly as I could, but we still missed her Flight. Both very upset, we drove home. I received a call from my father who was retired NYFD. He asked
what my wife's flight number was, but I explained that we missed the flight.
TO SAVE THE LOST
Christ's call is to save the lost, not the stiff-necked; He came not to call scoffers but sinners to repentance; not to build and furnish comfortable chapels, churches, and cathedrals at home in which to rock Christian professors to sleep by means of clever essays, stereotyped prayers, and artistic musical performances, but to capture men from the devil's clutches and the very jaws of Hell. This can be accomplished only by a red-hot, unconventional, unfettered devotion, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to the Lord Jesus Christ.
--C.T. Studd (1860-1931. Studd is remembered both as a cricketer and missionary. As a British Christian missionary to China he was part of the Cambridge Seven, and later founded the Heart of Africa Mission which became the Worldwide Evangelisation Crusade, now known as WEC International).

When Al Gore first published his tome, "Earth in the Balance" in 1990, few people, if any, believed in global warming. It was a trendy cause; after all, who wouldn't want to help save the planet – especially if America is the problem. It isn't that I don't believe that the planet was getting warmer, starting around the middle of the 1970s. That was after the cooling trend that began in the 1940s that followed the warming trend that caused the 1930s to record some of the warmest years on record – even to this day. (There is some advantage to be had from being on this Earth as long as I have, after all.)
