Free 90 Minute Webinar on Writing a Book: Tuesday, August 10th, 9:00PM Eastern.

Been thinkin’ of writing a book?

If you’ve been thinking of writing a book, I’m not surprised. Why?
Because 86% of Americans say they dream of writing a book.

Some want to write a book of their memoires. Others want to write
a book of poetry. Still others want to write a novel. And,
some want to write one of the hottest selling books on the Internet—
a cook book or recipe book.  

But it’s not just about what you want to write. A larger question
is, “Why do you want to write a book?” And there are many good
reasons.

My friend, Eddie Smith, who is a best-selling author, conference
speaker and writing coach says he’s heard hundreds of them at
the writing seminars he teaches each year across America.

Eddie says, “Some want to write to fulfill a dream; some to share
their point of view. Some want to write to produce another income
stream for the family; others want to write to express themselves.
Some actually feel that writing a book is a God-calling on their
lives.”

Whatever your reason, Eddie and I invite you to attend our free
private 90-minute webinar he will teach for my subscriber base
on Tuesday, August 10th, 9:00PM Eastern.

There is absolutely no charge, and Eddie is going to give away a
valuable gift at the close of the broadcast. You must be online at
the time to win it.

“What is a webinar?” you ask. It’s an Internet seminar that you
watch on your computer screen and listen to with your computer
speakers or headphones. There's no file or program to download.
Just show up, with pencil and paper in hand.

It’s internet-TV. You’ll see Eddie and his teaching slides and
hear him teach. You’ll likely hear me as well.

Eddie will share solid, fresh, information that you've never heard
and will never hear from anyone else. He’s agreed to conduct
an extensive Q&A session at the end. Have your questions
on hand. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by....

Save the date! Mark your calendar! Set your alarm! Do what you
must, but don’t miss this event!

July 4th, 2010 Declaration of God-Dependence

July 4th Declaration of God-Dependence

We hold these truths to be evident in the Bible, that God has chosen us to be His children before He made the world; that we are children of God through our whole-hearted faith in Jesus Christ His Son, our faith itself a gift from God, and that as His children, God has given us certain unalienable rights, that among these are eternal life, liberty from guilt, shame, fear, rejection, abandonment, powerlessness, hopelessness and the pursuit of a godly, fruitful Christian life building the Kingdom throughout the world.

That to secure these rights, the Father sacrificed His Son on our behalf to pay a debt we could not pay even when we were enemies of God through our sins. That whenever any form of government, commerce, culture or public opinion becomes destructive to these God-given rights, it is our duty to throw off such beliefs and to trust in the Lord with all our hearts for our future security, believing that it is the right of all believers to cast their cares and needs upon the unbreakable promises of God Who cannot lie.

We, therefore, the congregation assembled here this Lord’s Day, July 4, 2010, do solemnly publish and declare, that we are, and of right ought to be, spiritually free and God-dependent people. We chose to give up our rights to live in our own strength and chose, instead, to live by His strength and promises. We believe that he is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot earn.

And for the support of this declaration and with a firm reliance on the protection of God Our Father, Jesus our Lord and God’s Holy Spirit, we pledge to depend on God and on each other for the rest of our days on earth. ( people sign and hang signed letter in church)

Day of Prayer

Please find below a portion of that decree.

Whereas, we find ourselves in the midst of the greatest man-made environmental disaster in our history; and

Whereas, it is our heritage that as a people we have been taught not only to publicly acknowledge God for the many blessings bestowed on us but also that we are to turn to Him and seek His aid and assistance in times of distress and calamity; and

President Ronald Reagan affirmed not only that "Prayer is the mainspring of the American spirit, a fundamental tenet of our people since before the Republic was founded" but also that "Prayer is today as powerful a force in our Nation as it has ever been. We as a Nation should never forget this source of strength";

President Reagan reminded us that we "have always turned to prayer at times of crisis. We recall the moving story of George Washington kneeling in the snow at Valley Forge to ask for divine assistance when the fate of our fledgling Nation hung in the balance. And Abraham Lincoln tells us that on the eve of the Battle of Gettysburg, 'I went into my room and got down on my knees in prayer.' Never before, he added, had he prayed 'with as much earnestness"; and

President James Buchanan reminded citizens: "In this the hour of our calamity and peril, to Whom shall we resort for relief but to the God of our fathers? His omnipotent arm only can save us from the awful effects . . . let our fervent prayers ascend to His Throne."

President John Tyler said that "When a Christian people feel themselves to be overtaken by a great public calamity, it becomes them to humble themselves under the dispensation of Divine Providence, to recognize His righteous government over the children of men, to acknowledge His goodness in time past, as well as their own unworthiness, and to supplicate His merciful protection for the future";

. . . . . The Continental Congress declared that "in the hour of calamity and impending danger . . . we are peculiarly animated, with true penitence of heart, to prostrate ourselves before our great Creator and fervently to supplicate His gracious interposition for our deliverance"

I therefore call a Day of Prayer, urging citizens to pray comfort on the families of those killed in the initial blast; that God would crown with success efforts to stem the flow of escaping oil; that He would interpose to mitigate further damage and strengthen the hands of clean up crews; that He would sustain those whose livelihood is directly impacted by this tragedy; that He would preserve the health of citizens along the coastal regions; that He would comfort the minds of all citizens, reminding us that He is a strong refuge in times of trouble; that He would guide the counsels of our civil leaders and provide them with wisdom and Divinely inspired solutions to the many complex problems associated with this disaster; and that He would prevent future recurrences.

Iran: Female converts go before judge

Iran: Female converts go before judge

The silence from Iran is nerve-racking. There’s been no word on the result of last week’s court hearing for Maryam Rustampoor and Marzieh Amirizadeh – Iranian Christians who were arrested by security forces in March 2009.

Todd Nettleton with Voice of the Martyrs says that’s not unusual, but their legal strategy is. “They made the argument in court that they couldn’t be apostates because they weren’t actually Muslims. They said, ‘We were born into Muslim families, but we ourselves never made the choice to become Muslims. Therefore, we are Christians, but we are not apostates because we weren’t Muslims to begin with.’”

They were arrested March 5, 2009, on charges of anti-state activity and “taking part in illegal gatherings” because of their participation in house church activities. The anti-state charges were later dropped.

They’re still facing propagation of the Christian faith and apostasy charges, so keep praying. It’s been a test of their endurance.
According to Elam Ministries, although they have been receiving medical treatment for the past five months, they remain weak and suffer from various illnesses. The two had spent 259 days incarcerated in Evin Prison where they were reportedly subjected to psychological abuse, and their medical requests were ignored.

Despite the uncertainties, their testimony encourages other believers. Nettleton says, “They are determined to continue to be a witness for Christ, to continue to stand strong in their faith. We can pray that they’ll be encouraged in that, that they will have a sense of peace, a sense of God’s presence, and that God will provide the words for them to say when the time comes.”

Pray that the peace of God will protect Maryam and Marzieh’s hearts and minds and keep them safe. Pray that they will completely recover from their illnesses and be strong – physically, mentally and spiritually. Pray that all charges will be dropped and they will be set free.
