QUOTE
"A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at one time, at all times, who suffers harm done to others, whose greatest passion is compassion, whose greatest strength is love and defiance of despair." - Abraham Joshua Heschel

WHOSE ETHICS WILL PREVAIL?
Current laws encourage corporations to be selfish and act against the compassionate teachings of Jesus Christ and the common good. Everything must be sacrificed to making as much profit as possible for the share holder, even if it means degrading life for others. Our corporate culture needs an overhaul.

SCRIPTURE
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may create the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2

BIGGEST PROBLEM IS LONELINESS
Our biggest problems in the U.S. involve our feelings of isolation and loneliness.
Our consumer and technology driven culture has robbed us of our connection to family and friends so that people live lives vicariously through watching television, and work extra hours buying the latest gizmo.
But things can't make us happy for more than a brief interval. It is relationships and helping others that gives our lives true meaning and joy. In fact, it is joyful and meaningful human contact that makes
our lives worth living.If you want to understand why this is true, read Craig & Marc Kielburger's fantastic book, Me To We. |

IS YOUR CHILD BEING BULLIED?
Young children are highly empathetic and loving. That's why we adore being around them. Yet, the experiences to which we expose them determine whether they develop empathy further or shut it off.
They model not only how we ACT, but how we THINK.
Unfortunately, empathy is on the wane and there is an epidemic of bullying throughout the U.S. and Canada.
The solution is to create an environment in which empathy is awakened. Roots of Empathy can create that environment. Read
how a child who saw his mother murdered awakens to new possibilities for his life after holding a baby for the first time, and experiencing its unconditional love for him.
Read this and you will agree - and write to your representatives - that this program is God inspired and a must for every classroom not only in North America, but around the world. WOULD JESUS HAVE BOMBED IRAQ?
Iraq is a painful lesson about our culture of violence. Our soldiers are good people placed in a bad situation.
It is time to bring our troops home and pursue a different path. Imagine what would happen if Christians devoted the same discipline and self-sacrifice to nonviolent peacemaking that we demand our armies devote to war?
Begin by helping to establish a U.S. Department of Peace which would be charged with exploring peaceful alternatives to armed conflict.
Also, take a vow of non-violence. |
CHRISTIAN PEACEMAKERS NEEDS VOLUNTEERS
Christian Peacemaker Teams has a need for more peacmakers. As they ask, "What would happen if we put as much time, energy and money into creating peace as we do waging war?"
GLOBAL IMPORTUNE
Relief workers, journalists, artists and religious activists are held captive against their will for doing good work. We don't hear their names and they receive no media coverage because they are third world citizens. If you want to do something tangible about this injustice, Global Importune is a painless way to get involved
that requires, at most, about five minutes of your time each month. Mark Konrad, the founder, has shouldered all finances for ten years as he has worked to get over 200 illegally imprisoned people free. Send him a donation so he can continue his amazing work.

News About Prayerforce Website Changes
Prayerforce first went on-line in 2003 and, although people thought its design was beautiful five years ago, tastes have evolved. In order to give you a better and more meaningful prayer experience, the
site has been redesigned and music added to every prayer page.
A new blog has been added, one devoted to prayer. I will post prayers for urgent situations there, rather than creating or updating web pages for that purpose. I will also accept prayer requests via blog comments.
I've decided to provide more resources in terms of offering portals to a virtual cornecopia of prayer books and religious relics. If you have been searching for something that speaks to you or helps you focus on
your spiritual path, you may find something on the relics page.
Plus, I am creating a Course In Healing. Based upon the miracles that have occurred in my own life through using techniques I stumbled upon, it may well be my life's work to get it out to you. So
check back or sign up on the Heal page if you want more information about it.
This is a very exciting time for all of us. Great possibilities for healing await. God bless you! |
