Fighting the New Slave Trade

.
Dr David Barrett estimates that over
150,000 Christians currently die each
year as a result of their faith - a similar
figure to the tragedy.

And Salvation Army figures reveal that
200,000 Nepali girls under 18 in the sex
trade in India; experts estimate that
10,000 children aged between six and
14 are virtually enslaved in brothels in
Sri Lanka. The Thai Government reports
that 60,000 Thai children are sold into
prostitution - independent non-govern-
mental organisation (NGO) experts
estimate the figure to be closer to
800,000.

May the tragedy somehow break this
trade, much of it operating for western
tourists in the affected beach areas of
these countries. MORE: http://xrl.us/eqde

On The Other Side



I recently heard about the death of a young medical
student from a rare form of cancer. He spent the
last year of his life alternating between spending
weeks in the hospital as a patient undergoing
radiation and spending weeks in the hospital
doing his clinical rotations. The rare health
professional knows what it is like to be in the
hospital bed, not just the one filling out the charts.

It is extremely difficult to imagine how vulnerable
and dependent you feel when you put your life and
dignity in another's hands, unless you or someone
you love has had to do it. Doctors who have been
patients have a unique ability to empathize with those
whose treatment they oversee.

As I was thinking about this student's story, I began
to see some parallels for our calling to spread the
Gospel. I recognize that the doctor/patient relationship
is not a very good metaphor for our relationship to those
who need to hear the Gospel of Truth. If anything, we
are less like the doctor and more like one who urges
the sick person to receive medical care. However, just
as doctors need to know or imagine what it feels like to
be a patient, we need to remember what it feels like to
be without God. If we forget what it is like to be sick,
we will not be very compelling when we invite others
to receive healing.

According to Scripture, before we were born anew in
Christ, we were worse than sick; we were dead. The
apostle Paul writes, "All of us also lived among them
at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature
and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest,
we were by nature objects of wrath. But because of
his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made
us alive with Christ even when we were dead in
transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved"
(Ephesians 2:3-5).

When we forget how far we have come-or rather,
how far we have been brought-we become arrogant,
callous healers. The temptation arises to practice a
sledgehammer apologetic that obliterates your ideo-
logical enemies rather than wins them over. We
must not give in to this temptation; we must speak
the truth in love. Love for other sinners flows out
of the awareness that on your own you are no
better off than they are.

Hospitals become cold, cruel places when patients
are treated as mere bodies rather than souls. We
make an even graver mistake when we treat people
as mere minds without hearts, as intellects without
emotions, as numbers rather than as those created
in the image of God. Remember what it is like to
be on the other side of the veil, to walk in darkness.
May the memory stir you to compassion as you
introduce others to the one who came not for the
healthy ones, but for the sick. Betsy Childs

Time To Relax







 

Moving With the Quake

.
Listen to the audio broadcast!
http://xrl.us/ep63

If we did a word association game with the words "San
Francisco," I'll bet these two things would come up very
quickly - Golden Gate Bridge, earthquakes. Actually,
both of those subjects came up a lot when we were in
San Francisco for some youth outreaches and to tape
some special editions of a youth broadcast. We did
not arrange for a quake while we were there, but we
did do a program based on them. And we actually
did originate parts of other programs from near the
Golden Gate Bridge and even on it. According to
some local friends of mine there, and they could
just be Californians pulling the leg of East Coast
boy, but they said that the bridge might be one
of the safer places to be during an earthquake.
No, it's not the one that folded during the last
big quake. They say one reason the Golden Gate
could withstand a quake is this surprising fact -
it's built in such a way that it's flexible. In other
words, when the earth under it starts moving,
it doesn't just stand there rigid and break. It's
built to flex when things are shaking. So,
apparently a quake might shake it, but
probably not break it.

The question is how do you react when things
start shaking all around you? The answer may
be the difference between cracking under the
stress and holding together through it. There's
a synergy between the plans we make and
God's plans that calls for some of that Golden
Gate flexibility.

Our word for today from the Word of God,
Proverbs 16:9, "In his heart a man plans his
course, but the Lord determines his steps."
The Bible acknowledges that we will make
plans; the question is whether those plans are
rigid - if we're rigid about having it our way.
That "but" after the part about our plans tells
me that God has the right to pre-empt my plan,
or delay my plan, or redirect my plan. After all,
that's what "Lord" means. Often He leads us
toward a certain outcome, only to surprise us
with an interruption, or with the realization that
He did want us on this road, but for a destination
other than the one we expected. But God's idea
is always a better idea. What looks like Plan B
to me may well have been God's Plan A all along.
"But the Lord determines his steps."

Notice how James teaches us to make our plans.
James 4:15, "You ought to say, 'If it is the Lord's
will, we will live and do this or that'." I'm a planner
by nature. I work hard on those plans, I pray about
those plans. I seek God's direction. But once the
plan is set, whether it's for the next few hours or the
next few years, I don't like change. But change is built
into the system, folks, and those who meet changes
with rigidity will eventually crack like an unmoving
structure in an earthquake. So, this recovering
"rigidaholic" is slowly but surely learning to enjoy
the surprises of God even when they don't appear
to be, at least at first, pleasant surprises. And even
if it's something Satan has thrown in, my Bible
tells me that even that had to be cleared first with
my Heavenly Father. If God said it was OK for
me, why don't I just try to roll with the quake?

I should point out that the Golden Gate Bridge,
while flexible, is not made of Play-Doh. It has solid
structure and so should your life and your days.
This is no excuse for laziness or lack of planning.
But it is an encouragement to folks who like con-
trol to loosen up a little bit and make room for God
to do His very dynamic thing. It's the ones who are
flexible that survive the shaking. Ron Hutchcraft

Tsunami Relief -
Amazing Survival Stories

..
tsunami

(Click on above)

“Don’t let go of me, Mummy!” cried five-year-old Lachie Searle.
He was lounging pool side at a resort in Phuket, Thailand, with
his mom, Jillian, and little brother when the tsunami hit. With the
water surging around her, Jillian could not hold both her boys
and faced a heartbreaking choice usually reserved for hypo-
thetical situations described in high school ethics classes. She
decided to release Lachie, striving to save at least one of her
children and hoping that the older boy had a better chance
of survival. Tossed along by the current, Lachie grabbed
a still-standing lobby door. Two hours later, he was dis-
covered by a security guard who carried him to safety.
Reunited with his parents and brother, Lachie became
one of countless amazing stories of survival amidst the
death and devastation caused by the tsunami that hit
South Asia on the day after Christmas.

Another story is about 3-year-old Diew Silao who
survived alone in a mangrove tree for three days.
Swept from his mother’s arms and propelled to
a forest, the boy climbed to the highest tree branch
and waited. Three days later, a police officer grimly
gathering up corpses entangled in the trees looked
up and found the child. Diew was not the only re-
markable survivor in the family. His father, a fisher-
man, was at sea fishing when the maelstrom hit.
His boat capsized but he was able to swim for
five hours, finally reaching shore. Today, a woman
who thought she lost her son and husband has
had her family returned to her whole.

Anthony Praveen, an 8-year-old from Velankanni,
in southern India, also had a remarkable experience.
As gravediggers prepared to bury a mountain of
corpses, the boy sat up from the midst of the bodies,
opened his eyes, and was saved from being buried alive.

British vacationer Martin Hambrook was floating
in the warm waters off the Sri Lankan coast waiting
for the perfect wave when the largest one he ever
saw began to approach. With the surfboard tied
to his ankle, Hambrook had no choice but to ride
the biggest wave of his life. Using all his skill as a
surfer, he pointed his board towards his beach-
front hotel, found his family, and carried them to
higher ground before the second more powerful
wave hit the beach.

As I flew to Dallas last week, I sat next to a pilot
making her way back home. Of course, we dis-
cussed the tsunami and its relationship to God.
Although she believed in God, she wanted to
know if God cared or even knew who lived
or who died. “Wasn’t it all random?” she asked.

No, I answered, not a sparrow falls without
God’s knowledge or concern. He grants life
as He sees fit and takes it in his time. That is
why despite the 150,000 dead, millions sur-
vived, and most through amazing circumstances.
This is what God told the Israelites through
Moses in Deut 32:39: “See now that I, I am
He, and there is no god besides Me; It is I
who put to death and give life…. And there
is no one who can deliver from My hand.”
And that is why Moses asked God in Psalm
90:12 to “teach us to number our days.”

Life can seem so random. Some, like little
Lachie Searle or Diew Silao survive in what
appear to be impossible circumstances, while
others do not.

I don’t presume to understand God or why
He chooses as He does. But if we didn’t trust
in the sovereign power of a good and kind
God, we just might become paralyzed with
fear, not wishing to step into the street, or
drive to the store, or fly on a plane, or even
let our children outside to play. But God
alone is the One who gives life or takes it,
and we can trust Him to protect us until He
calls us home. And we need to live so we
are ready for that possibility every day.
Michael Rydelnik

Missing Grandma



The computer swallowed Grandma
Yes honestly, its true.
She pressed 'control' and 'enter'
And disappeared from view.

It's devoured her completely
The thought just makes me squirm.
Maybe she's caught a virus
Or been eaten by a worm.

I've searched through the recycle bin
And files of every kind.
I've even used the internet
But nothing could I find.

I asked Jeeves in desperation
My searches to refine.
The reply from him was negative
Not a thing was found online.

So, if someday in your 'InBox'
My Grandma you should see.
Please 'Scan', 'Copy' and 'Paste' her
In an e-mail back to me.

Go Where The Evidence Leads

See Explanation.  Clicking on the picture will download  the highest resolution version available.

Antony Flew, the 81-year-old British philosophy professor who taught at Oxford and

other leading universities, became an atheist at age 15. Throughout his long career
he argued-including in debates with an atheist -- turned-Christian named C. S. Lewis
-- that there was a "presumption of atheism," that is, the existence of a creator
could not be proved.

But he's now been forced to face the evidence. It comes from the Intelligent Design
movement, led by Dr. Phillip Johnson and particularly the work of Michael Behe, the
Lehigh biochemist who has proven the "irreducible complexity" of the human cell
structure. Though eighty-one years old, Flew has not let his thinking fossilize, but
has faithfully followed his own dictum to "go where the evidence leads."

Computer Hard Drives

Q. In October, my computer was damaged by lightning while plugged into
a surge suppressor. The surge suppressor's maker refuses to pay the
repair charges except for $35. The outside of the surge suppressor box
clearly states, "Lifetime Connected Equipment Guarantee $275,000." All
equipment was connected correctly. What can I do?

A. Surge suppressors are designed to reroute and dissipate surges in
the electricity supply. Electrical utilities sometimes send surges,
or appliances can cause them when they cycle on or off.

Typically, surge suppressors carry an insurance policy. They vow to
cover the cost of repairs if your equipment is damaged by a surge.
I have never had such a claim, so I don't know what problems you would
typically have.

It sounds like you are at an impasse with the suppressor's
manufacturer. I would complain to the Better Business Bureau and
to your state Attorney General's Office. Most of the latter have
a division that handles consumer complaints.

Your issue highlights a problem with surge suppressors: They can't
handle lightning. Some make grandiose claims about lightning, but
experts with whom I have talked dismiss them. They say lightning is
just too powerful for a surge suppressor to shunt aside. Some
utilities sell lightning breakers for the service entrance. But
these are expensive.

There's only one certain, inexpensive way to block lightning
damage: Turn off the computer. Disconnect it from the wall outlet
and the telephone.

Suppressors are essential for protecting your computer from garden-
variety surges. But don't count on lightning protection.

Hope this helps. I'll see you tomorrow with another great tip!

Las Vegas Airport


Setting off the alarm while passing through a
metal detector
at McCarran Airport in Las Vegas,
a UNC grad was asked
by a security agent if she
had any change in her pockets.


"Wow," the UNC grad says, turning towards her
husband, I told
you we should of gone to Florida
instead.....everyone here
expects to be tipped."







 

Human Jumper Cables

.

One little light. That's all it took to render our car totally
unusable. The little light in the rear of our vehicle was
left on one night after we unloaded some things, and it
stayed on for several days while we were gone.

When we got back, everything in that car said, "I'm
not starting, pal!" because that one little light totally
drained our battery. But then came the hero - our
friend in his pickup truck with his trusty jumper cables.
And those cables delivered the energy that my flat
old battery needed to run again!

What does it take to get a drained and tired battery
going again? A jolt from jumper cables that infuse
the energy needed to revive it. And what does it
take to get a drained and tired person going again?
Human jumper cables that deliver new energy to
revive them.

I'm guessing that you know someone right now
who is pretty depleted - emotionally, mentally,
maybe spiritually, even physically. When they turn
the key, not much is happening because their battles,
their responsibilities have left them unable to get going
again. That's why God has given us each other. To
be jumper cables for each other when we sense that
someone we know is pretty run down. If you've got
your eyes open for them, you'll see someone in need
of an emotional and spiritual "jump" most every day
of your life.

There's a wonderful example of that in 2 Timothy
1:16-18, our word for today from the Word of God.
This is the last letter Paul ever wrote. He's away from
most of his friends, he's locked up in Caesar's prison
in Rome, and he knows he may never leave there alive.
And in fact, he won't. Then along comes an unsung
hero named Onesiphorus, and he is God's jumper
cables to help the great apostle find the energy to
go on. Listen to Paul's testimony and think about
how you can be this for someone you know:
"May the Lord show mercy to the household
of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed
me and was not ashamed of my chains ...
When he was in Rome, he searched hard
for me until he found me."

When you're one of God's jump starters, you
wake up in the morning and you say, "Lord,
show me who needs me today." Then you
look for, even go out of your way if necessary,
to call that person who needs encouragement,
to write them, e-mail them, visit with them,
or just stop and take time with them.

It's almost always a sacrifice to do that because
of all the things you have to do. But you may
have nothing more important to do than this
extension of Jesus' love to someone who's
really depleted. Your joy can jump start theirs.
Your praying in faith can jump start theirs.
Your affirmation of their value and their
significance can jump start them believing
it again themselves. Your belief in them can
re-energize their courage to get back in the
ring for another round. Your reminder of
who they really are to God and to you may
be just the spiritual jolt they need to get going
again.

You may say, "Yeah, well, I need someone
to jump start me!" You're thinking a lot lately
about your burdens, your problems, and your
feelings. The greatest way to get out of your
pit is to reach out and help someone else
get out of theirs. Proverbs 11:25 says: "He
who refreshes others will himself be refreshed."

You have what someone needs today to get
started again. Don't just cruise on by, oblivious
to the needs right in front of you. "Lord, show
me who needs me today." That's the prayer
that will make you the conduit to deliver the
resources of God to someone who can't go
on without them. You are His jumper cables!

Verse of the Day




* * * Four important things to KNOW: #1) For ALL (Americans, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist, Asians, Presbyterians, Europeans, Baptist, Brazilians, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc.) have sinned & fall short of the glory of God. #2) For the wages of above (see #1) are DEATH (Hell, eternal separation from God, & damnation) but the Gift (free & at no charge to you) of God (Creator, Jehovah, & Trinity) is Eternal Life (Heaven) through (in union with) Jesus Christ (God, Lord, 2nd Person of The Trinity, Messiah, Prince of Peace & Savior of the World). #3) For God so greatly loved & dearly prized the world (Americans, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist, Asians, Presbyterians, Europeans, Baptist, Brazilians, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc.) that He even gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, that whosoever (anyone, anywhere, anytime - while still living) believes (trust in, relies on, clings to, depends completely on) Him shall have eternal (everlasting) life (heaven). #4) Jesus said: "I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, & THE LIFE. No one (male/female - American, Muslim, Jew, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist, Asian, Presbyterian, European, Baptist, Brazilian, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc. ) comes (arrives) to the Father (with GOD in Heaven) EXCEPT BY (through) ME (no other name). *** This wonderful loving GOD gives you the choice - - - (Rev. 3:20) {Please note that church membership, baptism, doing good things, etc. are not requirements for becoming a Christian - however they are great afterwards!!!} *** Jesus said, "Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction (Hell, damnation, eternal punishment), and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life (Heaven, eternal happiness, forever with God), and only a few find it.




D I S C L A I M E R If someone should ask if it's legal to download songs
found on various non-commercial sites, such as this one.

Well, I'm neither a lawyer nor a technician,
and I've begun to wonder if it was legal for
us to tape music off the radio back when
tape recorders first came into being.

And were we committing a crime when we recorded
a movie shown on TV with our VCRs? And was it
really legal to buy a dual-deck recorder for the
express purpose of duplicating cassettes?

My answer to all of the above is, "I don't know."

Nonetheless, here is a formal statement in
some kind of legalize that appears to apply
to this kind of file availability:
