Our Help is in the NAME of the Lord: Psalm 122-124


Our help is in the name of the LORD,
   the Maker of heaven and earth.- Psalm 124:8

Today's passage, Psalm 122-124 heralded several attributes of God. In chapter 122 he is the one who is desired. In  chapter 123 God is the giver of mercy. In chapter 124, God is the deliverer. Verse eight of this chapter caught my eye because of the wording. David does not write that his help is in the Lord, but more specifically, his help is in the NAME of the Lord. It is awesome that with all the myriad of names for our Jehovah, that every attribute of God is wrapped up in the glorified name JESUS. It is in this name that we can know God as Elohim, for all power is given unto Him in earth and heaven. It is in this name that we can know God as provider for he saves us from poverty. Jesus saves us from dis-ease. Jesus saves us from confusion- He is the prince of peace. And the list goes on. Take a look at all the names for God. It is worth going through them all,even if not all in one sitting. Take some time. Meditate on them- and marvel that when we call on the name Jesus, we are tapping into God fully, and not in part.

Mission: New Tribes

Hi Family! We hope that your holiday was truly blessed! Not blessed with things  but blessings of fellowship, giving, and most importantly, love. I think we take for granted the opportunity to be surrounded by people who  actually  want to be around us and who want to invest in our lives in some way! Although our year is full of holidays of pagan origin, they are awesome times for the family of God to gather together and just love on each other! Also, I surely don't take holidays that my husband gets off of work lightly! Love....

Laugh Your Way

Mark Gungor is Senior Pastor of Celebration Church in Wisconsin and the CEO of Laugh Your Way America. When he's not busy with pastoral duties, he's speaker, radio talk show host, and author. Mark says, "I love to inspire people's lives with truth and humor. There are a lot of performers that make people laugh, and there are a lot of speakers who give solid principles for living. I want to do both...Our secular culture over-romanticizes marriage and our Christian culture over spiritualizes it. The reality is that relationships between men and women are very down to earth...Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage® is about helping couples get it right, get along, have fun, and achieve a successful marriage."

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials, ...
