It reads, "And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, WHEN HE PRAYED FOR HIS FRIENDS" (KJV; emphasis mine). I am a great believer in the power of intercessory prayer both for the pray-er and the prayed-for. Almost forty years ago (in 1965, actually), I wrote out a list of things to pray for each day. This list formed the title page of a prayer journal, which is still in use today. Here is the original list: The aged The Church & other churches The dying Friends, friends away from home Godchildren/Godparents Hospitals & those who administer to the sick The lonely & sorrowful Missionaries & those who spread His word Orphans Peace - for Christians & non-Christians People in their daily work & leisure The persecuted, prisoners & those held captive by persons, circumstances or addictions Places of learning, study & research The poor, needy & hungry Relatives, especially parents Rulers & those in authority The sick in mind & body Solo parents and their children Suffering & oppressed animals Those in mourning Those influenced by false prophecies & doctrines Those who do not love us Those who seek God's Word Travellers The unemployed & homeless Women in labour -- Lionel Hartley, Editor Natural Remedies: Coughs Exploring some of nature's hygiene helpers and ways to fix basic ills, chills, aches and pains. Common sense is paramount - some of these hints are health related, and if you have a medical condition such high blood pressure, are taking prescription medication or are in any way unsure whether you should follow the self-help suggestion/s provided, consult a doctor or natural therapist. This month: Coughs Cut up one onion and three cloves of garlic. Place in a bowl and cover with honey, then leave for three hours. Strain. Sip (a teaspoonful at a time) of the resulting syrup throughout the day. -- Pamela Allardice, Natural Therapist Prayer Thought: Lord, Make Me a Nail Lord, make me a nail, Fastened securely to its place. Then from this thing so common And so small Hang a bright picture of Thy face, That travellers may pause to look upon The loveliness depicted there, And travelling on their wearied ways Each radiant face may bear, Stamped so that nothing can efface, The image of Thy glory and thy grace. Lord, let not one soul think of me; Only let me be A nail upon the wall, Holding Thy picture in its place. -- Mildrid Hill, Path to the Heart.

Article: God is Love and God is Just Many people are afraid of God. They see him as some kind of "super cop" sitting behind a cloud with an extra ordinary gun ready to catch anyone disobeying the law so He could punish him. Because of these, they do not want to surrender their lives to God, for fear that He might make them live miserable lives. Maybe you have felt this way about God. You felt that if you gave your life to Jesus Christ then God would send you to prison and make you suffer, but that is the opposite of the truth. Instead of putting us in prison, faith in Jesus Christ sets us free. Assume that you are a parent whose children say to you "we love you so much, we have been talking together, and we have decided that we would do anything you want us to do, from now on, we will do what pleases you and we will follow your commandments". What do you think you would feel about what they said? What would your answer be? Could it be, "I have been waiting for you to say that, and now that you did, I am going to make you regret what you have just said, I am going to make you unhappy and make your lives miserable as long as you live."? No, of course not. For they are your own children and you love them. You would have held them close to you and give them a big hug and said " I love you too. I want to show you that you made the right decision. I want to be a better parent to you. I will do everything I can to help you find full and meaningful lives." We as human know how to do good things to our children, can you imagine what God would do to our lives if we surrender it to Him. (If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he gave him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him (Luke 11:11-13). Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light (Matthew 11:28-30). --Anon (email) Havagiggle: Never Argue With a Child A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human, because even though it was a very large mammal, it's throat was very small. The little girl said, "Jonah was swallowed by a whale." Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I'll ask Jonah." The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then ....you ask him." --email (Mel, The Good Newsletter Issue 6, 2003 p2) Split Second Wisdom: "Interestingly, according to modern astronomers, space is finite.

Sermon Snippet: It's Just Porn, Mom Today's attitudes toward the influence of TV & media on young people have been highlighted recently in a song that was written by a singing group called "The trucks". The lyrics go like this: Friday after dinner, situation is the same over again - Mom she want's to watch the news, but I just want to watch the film at ten. So I get my way again Halfway through the movie, naked bodies getting groovy on the screen, Mom she changes channels, turns away, she can't believe what I've just seen. Embarrassed she starts to clean. ><> (Chorus) It's just porn mom, you're running away You wouldn't believe what the kids see today It's just porn mom, and it won't go away Wherever you turn, you find porn every day It's just... ><> Billboards on the way to school use porn to make their [stuff] look really cool...so cool. The girls I see on MTV conceal the fact that bands don't look like fools, but their videos make me drool. ><> (Chorus) It's just porn mom, you're running away You wouldn't believe what the kids see today It's just porn mom, and it won't go away Wherever you turn, you find porn every day It's just... ><> It's just porn mom, it's just porn mum, it's just... Mom I now that you're embarrassed but just face it you can leave the movie on. Don't think that I'm so naïve that I don't have a clue where I came from ><> (Chorus x2) It's just porn mom, you're running away You wouldn't believe what the kids see today It's just porn mom, and it won't go away Wherever you turn, you find porn every day It's just porn mom, you're running away You wouldn't believe what the kids see today It's just porn mom, and it won't go away Wherever you turn, you find porn every day. Theologically Speaking: Born By The Will of God Bunyan's Last Sermon, preached July 1688: "Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God;" John 1:13. The words have a dependence on what goes before, and therefore I must direct you to them for the right understanding of it. You have it thus,--"He came to his own, but his own received him not; but as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them which believe on his name; which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, but of God." In the words before, you have two things - First, Some of his own rejecting him when he offered himself to them. Secondly, Others of his own receiving him, and making him welcome. Those that reject him he also passes by; but those that receive him, he gives them power to become the sons of God. Now, lest any one should look upon it as good luck or fortune, says he, "They were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." They that did not receive him, they were only born of flesh and blood; but those that receive him, they have God to their father, they receive the doctrine of Christ with a vehement desire. First, I will show you what he means by "blood." They that believe are born to it, as an heir is to an inheritance; they are born of God; not of flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God; not of blood--that is, not by generation; not born to the kingdom of heaven by the flesh; not because I am the son of a godly man or woman. That is meant by blood, Acts 17:26, "He has made of one blood all nations." But when he says here, "not of blood," he rejects all carnal privileges they did boast of. They boasted they were Abraham's seed. No, no, says he, it is not of blood; think not to say you have Abraham to your father, you must be born of God if you go to the kingdom of heaven. Secondly, "Nor of the will of the flesh." What must we understand by that? It is taken for those vehement inclinations that are in man to all manner of looseness, fulfilling the desires of the flesh. That must not be understood here; men are made the children of God by fulfilling their lustful desires; it must be understood here in the best sense. There is not only in carnal men a will to be vile, but there is in them a will to be saved also--a will to go to heaven also. But this it will not do, it will not privilege a man in the things of the kingdom of God. Natural desires after the things of another world, they are not an argument to prove a man shall go to heaven whenever he dies. I am not a free willer, I do abhor it; yet there is not the wickedest man but he desires some time or other to be saved. He will read some time or other, or, it may be, pray; but this will not do--"It is not in him that wills, nor in him that runs, but in God that shews mercy;" there is willing and running, and yet to no purpose; Rom. 9:16, "Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, have not obtained it." Here I do not understand as if the apostle had denied a virtuous course of life to be the way to heaven, but that a man without grace, though he have natural gifts, yet he shall not obtain privilege to go to heaven, and be the son of God. Though a man without grace may have a will to be saved, yet he cannot have that will God's way. Nature, it cannot know anything but the things of nature; the things of God knows no man but by the Spirit of God; unless the Spirit of God be in you, it will leave you on this side the gates of heaven--"Not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." It may be some may have a will, a desire that Ishmael may be saved; know this, it will not save thy child. If it were our will, I would have you all go to heaven. How many are there in the world that pray for their children, and cry for them, and ready to die; and this will not do? God's will is the rule of all; it is only through Jesus Christ, "which were born, not of flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." Now I come to the doctrine. Men that believe in Jesus Christ to the effectual receiving of Jesus Christ, they are born to it. He does not say they SHALL be born to it, but they ARE born to it; born of God, unto God, and the things of God, before they receive God to eternal salvation. "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Now unless he be born of God, he cannot see it. Suppose the kingdom of God be what it will, he cannot see it before he be begotten of God; suppose it be the Gospel, he cannot see it before he be brought into a state of regeneration; believing is the consequence of the new birth, "not of blood, nor of the will of man, but of God." First, I will give you a clear description of it under one similitude or two. A child, before it be born into the world, is in the dark dungeon of its mother's womb; so a child of God, before he be born again, is in the dark dungeon of sin, sees nothing of the kingdom of God, therefore it is called a new birth; the same soul has love one way in its carnal condition, another way when it is born again. Secondly, As it is compared to a birth, resembling a child in his mother's womb, so it is compared to a man being raised out of the grave; and to be born again is to be raised out of the grave of sin-- "Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee life." To be raised from the grave of sin is to be begotten and born; Rev. i. 5. There is a famous instance of Christ--"He is the first-begotten from the dead, he is the first-born from the dead;" unto which our regeneration alludes,--that is, if you be born again by seeking those things that are above, then there is a similitude betwixt Christ's resurrection and the new birth; which were born, which were restored out of this dark world, and translated out of the kingdom of this dark world into the kingdom of his dear Son, and made us live a new life; this is to be born again; and he that is delivered from the mother's womb, it is the help of the mother; so he that is born of God, it is by the Spirit of God. I must give you a few consequences of new birth. First of all, a child, you know, is incident to cry as soon as it comes into the world; for if there be no noise, they say it is dead. You that are born of God, and Christians, if you be not criers, there is no spiritual life in you; if you be born of God, you are crying ones; as soon as he has raised you out of the dark dungeon of sin, you cannot but cry to God, What must I do to be saved? As soon as ever God had touched the jailer, he cries out, "Men and brethren, what must I do to be saved?" Oh! how many prayer-less professors are there in London that never pray? Coffee-houses will not let you pray, trades will not let you pray, looking-glasses will not let you pray; but if you were born of God, you would. Secondly, It is not only natural for a child to cry, but it must crave the breast, it cannot live without the breast; therefore Peter makes it the true trial of a new-born babe; the new-born babe desires the sincere milk of the Word, that he may grow thereby. If you be born of God, make it manifest by desiring the breast of God. Do you long for the milk of promises? A man lives one way when he is in the world, another way when he is brought unto Jesus Christ; Isa. 66., "They shall suck, and be satisfied." If you be born again, there is no satisfaction till you get the milk of God's word into your souls; Isa. 66:11, "To suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of consolation." O what is a promise to a carnal man; a whorehouse, it may be, is more sweet to him; but if you be born again, you cannot live without the milk of God's word. What is a woman's breast to a horse? But what is it to a child? There is its comfort night and day, there is its succour night and day. O how loath is he it should be taken from him. Minding heavenly things, says a carnal man, is but vanity; but to a child of God, there is his comfort. Thirdly, A child that is newly born, if it have not other comforts to keep it warm than it had in its mother's womb, it dies. It must have something got for its succour; so Christ had swaddling clothes prepared for him; so those that are born again, they must have some promise of Christ to keep them alive. Those that are in a carnal state, they warm themselves with other things; but those that are born again, they cannot live without some promise of Christ to keep them alive, as he did to the poor infant in Ezekiel 17., "I covered thee with embroidered gold." And when women are with child, what fine things will they prepare for their child! O but what fine things has Christ prepared to wrap all in that are born again! O what wrappings of gold has Christ prepared for all that are born again! Women will dress their children, that every one may see them how fine they are; so he in Ezekiel 17:11--"I decked thee also with ornaments, and I also put bracelets upon thine hands, and a chain on thy neck. And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and ear-rings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head;" and, says he in the 13th verse, "thou didst prosper to a kingdom." This is to set out nothing in the world but the righteousness of Christ, and the graces of the Spirit, without which a new-born babe cannot live, unless he have the golden righteousness of Christ. Fourthly, A child when it is in its mother's lap, the mother takes great delight to have that which will he for its comfort; so it is with God's children, they shall he kept on his knee; Isaiah 66:11, "They shall stick and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolation." Ver. 13, "As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you." There is a similitude in these things that nobody knows of but those that are born again. Fifthly, There is usually some similitude betwixt the father and the child; it may be the child looks like its father; so those that are born again, they have a new similitude, they have the image of Jesus Christ (Gal. 4.), every one that is born of God has something of the features of heaven upon him. Men love those children that are likest them most usually; so does God his children; therefore they are called the children of God. But others do not look like him, therefore they are called Sodomites. Christ describes children of the devil by their features; the children of the devil, his works they will do; all works of unrighteousness, they are the devil's works. If you are earthly, you have borne the image of the earthly; if heavenly, you have borne the image of the heavenly. Sixthly, When a man has a child, he trains him up to his own liking, he learns the custom of his father's house; so are those that are born of God; they have learned the custom of the true church of God, there they learn to cry, My Father and my God; they are brought up in God's house, they learn the method and form of God's house for regulating their lives in this world. Seventhly, Children, it is natural for them to depend upon their father for what they want. If they want a pair of shoes, they go and tell him; if they want bread, they go and tell him; so should the children of God do. Do you want spiritual bread? Go tell God of it. Do you want strength of grace? ask it of God. Do you want strength against Satan's temptations? go and tell God of it. When the devil tempts you, run home and tell your heavenly Father; go pour out your complaints to God. This is natural to children; if any wrong them, they go and tell their father; so do those that are born of God, when they meet with temptations, go and tell God of them. The first use is this, to make a strict inquiry whether you be born of God or not. Examine by those things I laid down before of a child of nature and a child of grace. Are you brought out of the dark dungeon of this world into Christ? have you learned to cry, My Father? Jer. 3:16, "And I said, Thou shalt call me thy Father." All God's children are criers. Can you be quiet without you have a bellyful of the milk of God's word? Can you be satisfied without you have peace with God? Pray you consider it, and be serious with yourselves. If you have not these marks, you will fall short of the kingdom of God, you shall never have an interest there; there is no intruding. They will say, "Lord, Lord, open to us; and he will say, I know you not." No child of God, no heavenly inheritance. We sometimes give something to those that are not our children, but not our lands. O do not flatter yourselves with a portion among the sons, unless you live like sons. When we see a king's son play with a beggar, this is unbecoming; so if you be the king's children, live like the king's children. If you be risen with Christ, set your affections on things above, and not on things below. When you come together, talk of what your Father promised you; you should all love your Father's will, and be content and pleased with the exercises you meet with in the world. If you are the children of God, live together lovingly. If the world quarrel with you, it is no matter; but it is sad if you quarrel together. If this be amongst you, it is a sign of ill-breeding, it is not according to rules you have in the Word of God. Dost thou see a soul that has the image of God in him? Love him, love him; say, This man and I must go to heaven one day. Serve one another, do good for one another; and if any wrong you, pray to God to right you, and love the brotherhood. Lastly, If you be the children of God, learn that lesson: "Gird up the loins of your mind as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to your former conversation; but be ye holy in all manner of conversation." Consider that the holy God is your father, and let this oblige you to live like the children of God, that you may look your Father in the face with comfort another day. --Editor's Archives From My Case Files: We Needed a Little Spice After three decades of counselling, your editor (a retired sociologist) sometimes ponders some of the things which have come up in counselling that, in retrospect, contain an element of humour.

He wrote that we should feed and nourish our souls with high notions of God; which would yield us great joy in being devoted to Him. That we ought to quicken, i.e., to enliven, our faith. That it was lamentable we had so little; and that instead of taking faith for the rule of their conduct, men amused themselves with trivial devotions, which changed daily. That the way of Faith was the spirit of the Church, and that it was sufficient to bring us to a high degree of perfection. That we ought to give ourselves up to God, with regard both to things temporal and spiritual, and seek our satisfaction only in the fulfilling His will, whether He lead us by suffering or by consolation, for all would be equal to a soul truly resigned. That there needed fidelity in those drynesses, or insensibilities and irksomenesses in prayer, by which God tries our love to Him; that then was the time for us to make good and effectual acts of resignation, whereof one alone would oftentimes very much promote our spiritual advancement. That as for the miseries and sins he heard of daily in the world, he was so far from wondering at them, that, on the contrary, he was surprised there were not more, considering the malice sinners were capable of: that for his part, he prayed for them; but knowing that God could remedy the mischief they did, when He pleased, he gave himself no farther trouble. That to arrive at such resignation as God requires, we should watch attentively over all the passions which mingle as well in spiritual things as those of a grosser nature: that God would give light concerning those passions to those who truly desire to serve Him. --Brother Lawrence, The Practice of the Presence of God, Barbour & Co, Ohio, 1993, Pp13,14
