The bible and some spurgeon:
“There is a God that heareth prayer. Do any of you doubt it? If so, you will not recieve answers to your petitions, ‘for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him’ (heb 11:6)”

Dave: I know the best way to open a banana, I saw it on you tube.
Ash: Upside down.
Dave: Yea! How did you know?
Ash: That's how monkeys do it.
Dave: Then why don't you do it that way, it's easier.

“Inhale in San Francisco. Exhale the Gospel.”
Ezra
To complete the work of rebuilding the temple, God used prophets, priests, kings, everyday people, even enemies. (Ezra 6:13-18). God is shown to be totally sovereign and we are but “servants of the God of heaven and earth” (Ezra 5:11)

Back from S.F!
chrislazo:
The prayer tour to S.F. just got back yesterday night, and testifies of God’s heart for that city. Several days were given as teams split up day by day and ventured into various districts of San Francisco to soak up culture, and pray effectively. Below are just very few photos of our trip, from the hip neighborhoods of Haight and Ashbury to the broken streets of the Tenderloin. From...

considering a move?
realitysf:
If you are praying about moving to San Francisco, start asking people to pray for you. Build a network of people you trust to start interceding for the cause. Keep them informed about the process. Tell them when you are traveling to the city. Share with them when you feel overwhelmed and attacked. Tell them how their prayers have been answered and how God has used them in the process...

Mephibosheth’s answer to David’s invitation is a telling picture of his heart.
This guy was part of a royal family, his future life of comfort and majesty set… But his dad dies and Grampa dethroned, now he lives at someone’s house with crippled feet and busted luck.
Along comes King David and out of love for his good friend Jonathan, invites his son Mephibosheth to his...
Choose Christ, not comfort.
About a month and a half ago, my wife, Ashley, decided to help a friend out by taking over her classroom while she took a sabbatical. It was the special needs class at our local high school. Ashley has worked with kids with mental and physical disabilities ever since she was in high school herself (I’m not allowed to say how long ago that was). She never really chose this work, it chose her. Kids...
