LISTEN TO THIS WEEK'S BROADCAST
Blessed those who Hunger and Thirst
Monday, November 02, 2009
Desire can drive us and move us in ways nothing else can. We all know the feeling of drudgery when we are called to a task when desire is lacking. We will procrastinate. We will balk. We will squawk. There will be foot-dragging, head-drooping resistance.
However, sprinkle in a little dash of desire and all things change. What was once relegated to procrastination now gets moved to the front of the line. Deep within us we say, "I must do this thing." We become diligent and focused. Our face and eyes spring to life. It is amazing what desire can do. An identifying mark of all who belong to God is the fact that desire for the things of God is alive and well. Jesus described desire as hunger and thirst. Listen closely and you'll understand.

The Sanctity of Marriage CD
by Jim Reed
Some Pharisees asked Jesus about marriage. He referred his questioners back to creation:
"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate" (Matthew 19:4-6).
Jesus gave explicit instructions that we were not to separate what God has joined together. We live in an age of confusion about the institution of marriage. When the basic foundation of marriage is lost we will lose the basic foundation of civilization. For a donation to the ministry of Christian Life Tools you will be sent an audio CD entitled "The Sanctity of Marriage." This is a 45 minute sermon based on the text of Matthew 19.
Blessings to you,
