Your Mistake is Not Bigger than God

Image
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11, NKJV) TODAY’S WORD  from Joel and Victoria Oftentimes, I hear people say, “Joel, I’ve just blown it so many times. I had this major setback. I don’t see how I could ever get to where I’m supposed to be.” But we have to realize — our mistakes aren’t that powerful. Our mistakes aren’t too big for God. He’s not up in the heavens shaking His head saying, “I never dreamed they would do that. They’ve ruined My plan.” No, God knew every mistake we would ever make. He knew every wrong turn, and He’s already prepared a new route. He already has your detour figured out. Scripture says that God knows the end from the beginning. If you’ve made some mistakes, the good news is that He has already planned a way to get you back on track! Just come to Him with an open and humble heart. Let Him wash you clean and make yo

When God is Your Boss

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “For exaltation (promotion) comes neither from the east nor from the west nor from the south. But God is the Judge: He puts down one, and exalts another” (Psalm 75:6–7, NKJV) TODAY’S WORD  from Joel and Victoria I know this man who was upset because his boss was really against him. The boss was always trying to make him look bad and would never give him any kind of recognition. The truth is that his boss was jealous of him. But, this man just kept being his best, working unto God. There were several promotions that he should have received, but because of this unfair boss, he was passed over. One day the CEO of the corporation was in town, and this man had to make a presentation. The CEO was very impressed. About a year later, a position became available that should have gone to the man's boss, but the CEO bypassed the boss and called this man directly. Today, instead of working for the unfair boss, the tables have turned. The boss is working for hi

Remain in Him

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5, NIV) TODAY’S WORD  from Joel and Victoria Have you ever thought about the relationship between the branch and the vine? We don’t use these kinds of word pictures very much anymore, but think about it — if the branch is not attached to the vine, it withers and dies. The very life of the branch depends on being attached to the vine. The same thing happens if we try to operate in this life without Jesus. Without Him, we can do nothing. We are cut from our life source. But when you remain in Him by daily connecting with Him through prayer, worship and study of the Word, then your life will be fruitful. You’ll walk in joy and blessing. I love that this verse says “much fruit,” which means you will have an abundant harvest in your life. God doesn’t want you to just barely get by. He wants to overwhelm you with His

Really Alive

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “The thief comes only to steal and Kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10, NIV) TODAY’S WORD  from Joel and Victoria A couple of years ago, I was watching the news when Captain Sullenberger successfully landed a jet airplane in the Hudson River. All 155 passengers survived. It’s known as “The Miracle on the Hudson.” A reporter asked one passenger what he thought about it all. He was soaking wet, freezing cold, a little bit frazzled, but he had this incredible glow about him, an excitement in his voice. I’ll never forget what he told the reporter, “I was alive before, but now I’m really alive.” My question today is, “Are you really alive?” Are you passionate about the life God has given you? Do you get up every morning with enthusiasm, pursuing your dreams? God doesn’t want you to just “be alive” or just exist or endure. He wants you to be really alive! You have seeds of greatness on the inside. There

PLA camps will go if brig gen rank given, Dahal

Image
KATHMANDU, FEB 27 - UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has proposed that PLA cantonments will be vacated within 2-3 weeks, provided the parties agree to offer the rank of an 'honorary brigadier general' or a colonel to a PLA combatant opting for integration in the Nepal Army (NA). Dahal on Sunday tabled the proposal as per the responsibility entrusted on him by a three-party meeting on Friday. Dahal was assigned to prepare a consensus proposal on the disputed issues of the peace process, while NC President Sushil Koirala and UML leader Madhav Kumar Nepal had been given the responsibilities of preparing consensual proposals on transitional justice mechanisms and constitution writing respectively. Koirala and Nepal, however, failed to table their proposals due to "complexities surrounding the issues." In Sunday's three-party meeting, Dahal also said that the cantonments would be vacated within the propsoed period, but that there should be progress in

Maoist always concerned about journos’ security: Dahal

Image
KATHMANDU, FEB 25 - UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal on Saturday said that the transitional period is in its last phase. Addressing a program organised for an interaction with the International Media Mission, who are here as invitees for the Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ), Dahal said that the political situation of the nation would be stabilized within a few days. In reply to the question of freedom of expression by the delegates Dahal said that some problems have arisen transgressing the freedom of expression because of the transitional period. However, Dahal claimed that the situation would improve soon. “We are very much concerned about freedom of expression and security of the journalists. I have been telling the cadres all along that no one should go against the press and media,” said Dahal. Dahal further said that no one from his party has been involved in violence against journalists within the past two years. However, he claimed that the parties wh

Constitution impossible with weapons at Maoist disposal'

Image
BUTWAL, FEB 25 -   Senior leader of CPN-UML Madhav Kumar Nepal said that constitution drafting process would not get momentum until the UCPN (Maoist) was detached from its weapons and combatants. Speaking at a program in Rupahdehi district today, Nepal maintained that settling the thorny issues of the statute drafting was not a complex issue but Maoist coming to the Constituent Assembly (CA) election with the weapons and combatants in its disposal was creating difficulties at present.  Saying that the mistakes of the past had obstructed the peace and constitution for four long years, Nepal said that the fundamental issues of the constitution drafting should be initiated only after the completion of army integration. . Nepal also said that on the context of Nepali Congress and UML, sorting out the disputed issues were not the major setbacks. He remarked that Maoist’s reluctance in solving the issues regarding its weapons and combatants was thickening the problems. He blamed

Kuwait couple gets death for Filipina murder

Image
A court has sentenced a Kuwaiti couple to death for beating and then murdering their Filipina domestic helper, newspapers in the Gulf state reported on Monday. The criminal court found the disabled husband and his wife guilty of "premeditated murder" after throwing the maid from their car and driving over her, Al-Rai and Al-Anbaa dailies reported, citing the verdict. No names were published in the reports, for the couple or the maid. Newspapers said that based on testimony by one of the couple's sons, the wife beat the maid for days until her health deteriorated. The boy told interrogators that his parents had said they were taking the maid to hospital for treatment, but that he never saw her again. According to the ruling, the couple took the maid, who was "unconscious" at the time, to a remote area in the desert where they threw her from the back seat of the car and then drove over her until she died. About 73,000 Filipinos -- 60,000 of them women wo

US and UK urge Israel not to attack Iran

Image
The United States and Britain have urged Israel against any military action against Iran and its nuclear programme, after Iranian warships passed through the Suez Canal to dock at the Syrian port of Tartous, ratchetting up tensions in the region. Martin Dempsey , the chairman of the US joints chiefs of staff committee, and William Hague, the British foreign minister, both said that an Israeli attack on Iran would destablise the entire region, and urged Israel to give international sanctions against Tehran more time to work. In comments on Sunday, Dempsey said an Israeli attack would be "not prudent", and Hague said it would not be "a wise thing". In an interview broadcast on CNN on Sunday, Dempsey said Israel has the capability to strike Iran and delay the Iranians "probably for a couple of years. But some of the targets are probably beyond their reach". He expressed concern that an Israeli attack could spark reprisals against US targets in the

Sex Offender Misstep Illustrates Outreach Difficulties

A federal judge's ruling that an outreach to sex offenders violated the U.S. Fair Housing Act demonstrates the complexities churches and ministries face in serving "the least of these." The case concerns Matthew 25 Ministries, which in 2008 leased a complex of duplexes and houses in Pahokee, Florida, to create a community of recovering sex offenders. One problem: A state law prohibits convicted sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of a public-school bus stop. Matthew 25 founder Dick Witherow first tried to persuade the school board to relocate the stop. When that failed, he tried to convince families with children to move. Witherow said the company it leased the homes from, Alston Management, had agreed to relocate the families at no charge to another complex it owned. But according to court records, the company notified 25 families they would be evicted if they didn't leave by January 1, 2009. The notices sparked lawsuits in state and f

Constitution impossible unless cantonments emptied: Nepal

Image
KATHMANDU, FEB 04 - CPN-UML senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal said that a new constitution would not conclude unless the UCPN (Maoist) empties its cantonment. Addressing a program organised in the Capital, Nepal claimed that the Maoist is merely killing time and hindering the execution of past agreements. Hence, he added that the new constitution would not conclude in time. Stating that Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai had not given any direction to the Nepal Army for the integration process, Nepal said that constitution would not be possible unless Maoist clears the contentment and hands over the weapons to the state. He further urged the government to roll back the decision to legalise the land transactions made by the Maoist parallel government during the decade-long insurgency. Similarly, UML General Secretary Ishwor Pokhrael said that UML cadres would have to work hard if they want to establish UML as the most powerful party in the coming election. http:/

Natl govt after integration: MK Nepal

Image
KATHMANDU, FEB 19 - Former Prime Minister and senior CPN-UML leader Madhav Kumar Nepal said on Sunday that the fundamental issues of constitution drafting and ground work for national government should be started after completing the peace process. He added that it would be appropriate to initiate the process for resolving the contentious issues regarding the constitution drafting and national government formation after completing the peace process through the army integration by vacating the cantonment occupied by the Maoist combatants through army integration. Nepal said that flexibility can be shown on the age, marital status and educational qualification of Maoist combatants opting for integration. “The army integration should be carried out based on the personal ability of combatants; only those who have completed bridging and training and are qualified would be granted the post of officer,” said Nepal. “Otherwise, the integration is not possible just like th

Nietzsche said God is dead.

The only certainty he cannot deny is Nietzsche is dead,very dead.He said Christians focus on weakness and have a "slave mentality". He wanted to set man free. Instead his philosophy imprisons man in the falsehood of his superiority and independence.Jesus said: "Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon and learn of Me;For I am meek and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your soul. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light" Nietzsche's passionate atheism was the making of me Nietzsche's pious lack of faith led to my own conversion to Christianity The Big Ideas series has for several months now explored the meaning of a number of familiar intellectual phrases, among them Marshall McLuhan's "the medium is the message", Hannah Arendt's "the banality of evil" and Adam Smith's "invisible hand". But none of these feels quite as big an idea as Friedrich Nietzsche
