We Need A Passion For Prayer
“Hey guys, could you please pray for my cat? Yeah, I know it’s silly. She just got spayed and she’s just purely miserable. She can’t walk and she keeps falling off stuff when she tries.” This isn’t a prayer request from a child, but one that I found on a Christian prayer board. I’m not really talking here about whether we should pray for animals, but I’m talking about the trivial prayers that we sometimes offer and ask.
Wailing Wall, Prayers and Twitter
For years many people have placing their prayer request through the cracks in the “Wailing Wall” in Jerusalem. This wall is located in East Jerusalem and is believed to be Western Wall of the Second Temple. For many devout Jews this is an important place to come and pray. They believe the presence of God has never left this wall. In 2009, Alon Nil launched a free service allowing people around the world to send their prayer request in using Twitter. Once the requests are received they are printed and taken to the wall. This caught on and now Alon needs many people to help him take all the prayer requests in for him.
Jesus Shows Up In Some Weird Places
Oliver was just minding his own business, making a hamburger, when Jesus showed up. As he looked down into the pan with brown fat on the bottom, he saw an image that appeared to be the face of Jesus. So he took a picture and made the news. In 2006, an unmarried couple saw the face of Jesus in the ultrasound of their baby, declaring in their mind that the Son of God approved of their situation.

Ladies would you like to be paired with another lady in our church that you can share your life with?

This is a great way if you attend SBC to get to know other ladies and to deepen your walk with Christ. This post provides you with some of the most FAQ and the answers to help you get to know the ministry better.
Christmas in August
Why are we celebrating Christmas in August? It is not because we have the months mixed up but it is because there is still a great need for the gospel of Jesus Christ to reach the nations. As a Southern Baptist Church we support the International Mission Board, which does a fantastic job sending out missionaries.
The Fallacy of Inter-Faith Relationships
As a church, it’s our responsibility to teach what the Bible says, and not what certain preachers may say. While there are many television preachers that I wish our people would ignore completely, my hope is that as we teach the Word of God, our congregation will begin to make these choices on their own. So while I generally don’t single preachers out for their comments to their congregations, I do feel that recent comments made by Rick Warren to the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) do warrant examination. He wasn’t preaching to a Christian congregation, and in fact wasn’t preaching at all. He was asked by the ISNA to come and speak to their group.
