To help set the stage for the proper evaluation of information and events that will doubtless fall on many unbelieving minds at times; let me quote Herbert Spencer for you. “There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance – that principle is contempt prior to investigation.”

When I stand on the Prairie, a living entity. Flowers blooming, animals flashing through it, if for only a moment, across paths worn by walking humans. Eagles and hawks overhead eyes so keen, I swear they can see my soul. I am swept away by scents, sounds, sights and life brought to the spot where I stand by the winds of Mother Earth.

Do you ever wonder if a life of faith is worth it? I once read that is a mark that you're living right, and perhaps it is.

Fortunately, we know that the Lord also sees this, and we are assured that He will deal with it in His way and timing.

A brief study of the humility of Jesus in Matthew 2:19-23

Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD. JOEL 1:14 The Bible teaches that there are times for feasting and banqueting, but there are also times for fasting. Biblical reasons for fasting are national peril (Joel 1:2; 2:12); mourning (2 Samuel 12:16–17); protection (Esther 4:16); revelation (Daniel 9:3); and power in the personal life (Luke 4:1–2).

Be filled with the Spirit.… always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. -EPHESIANS 5:18, 20 Some years ago, a couple traveled from their home in Chicago to Arrowhead Springs to talk to me about an idea they had. “We heard your lecture on how to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Our lives have been dramatically changed as a result,” they said enthusiastically. “We have come to encourage you to go on national television to tell Christians everywhere how they can know the Holy Spirit and experience His revolutionary impact in and through their lives.” I am humbly grateful to God for the privilege of teaching these great truths concerning the Holy Spirit to tens of millions of people through-out the world, often with the same dramatic results this couple enjoyed. To be effective lighthouses for Jesus Christ, we must be empowered by the Holy Spirit. Without that filling, we will fail miserably in our spiritual lives and accomplish little to reach other people for Christ.
