One reason I’m writing tonight is because of several prayer opportunities we thought you would want to know about. Perhaps you’ll be interested in one of these. • Our ministry in Europe started praying for the 40 European countries during the 40 days of Lent. It’s not too late to sign up for a daily prayer request for each country. Read more on PrayEurope.com or go directly to the sign-up for an email reminder. • Our ministry leaders are calling for a 40-day prayer focus, March 17 to April 25, to seek God’s face. They have been asking God where … Continue reading Prayer Opportunities for Lent

Reaching Students and Faculty on Campuses

mikeandsus

The British university environment when C. S. Lewis was a professor at Oxford, was already skeptical and even scornful about Christianity. In the midst of that atheistic and agnostic terrain, he influenced his students for Christ, but he also knew that he could reach a lot more people with his writing, particularly through his stories, more than through his books on apologetics. The Chronicles of Narnia have never been out of print and are popular worldwide, selling over a million copies per year. The Narnia movies have exposed millions more to Lewis’ work.
C. S. Lewis explained the basics of the Christian faith in everyday language on BBC radio during World War II. His popular radio talks were later compiled into Mere Christianity. Our staff at Faculty Commons considers this book one of their most effective evangelistic tools. It continues to lead skeptical and atheistic professors to faith in Christ.

Rescuing Men from Darkness

“In His hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are His also.” ~ Psalm 95:4
“Porque en su mano estan las profundidades de la tierra, y las Alturas de los montes son suyas.” ~ Salmos 95:4
“… the Chilean TV says that 1,000,000,000 of people were watching the rescue of the Chilean miners.
“… which brings to mind Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. He gave His life as a ransom to rescue humanity, and has demonstrated that He is an expert at freeing souls that are trapped in the depths of the abyss.
“… it was humble men, who had no public or media relevance before the collapse of the mine, who installed the quote of the event all the different media platforms all over the world. I suspect that ‘Thank you Lord!’ was the general feeling of the entire Chilean population. Continue reading Rescuing Men from Darkness

TALKing with God (via Kindling)

mikeandsus

The need for and importance of prayer has pushed me also to do a lot more study of prayer—in the Word, in books on prayer, in the lives of prayer warriors through the centuries, and of course in the teachings and life of Jesus. Though there are conditions, approaches and models that imply depth and complexity, at its essence prayer is a conversation with God. With that as a starting point, God gave me a simple acrostic to guide me in my praying: TALK. T—Tell the truth. . . A—Ask boldly. . . L—Listen. . . K—Keep at it. . … Continue reading TALKing with God (via Kindling)
