8-31-17 Parent's Joy

The greatest joy that a parent can ever know is that their children know and have accepted Jesus Christ as their own personal Lord and Savior. I know that my mom prayed for me throughout her life and never gave up hope that I would one day completely give my heart and soul to Jesus. It's taken me fifty-nine years to be able to take that step. I thank God for her steadfastness to her faith that one day the Holy Spirit would lead me to his loving arms. I too hope and pray that my Child will find and accept the same loving Father that I now know. He is a Father that will never leave, forsake, disappoint,or hurt you. He will hold you in his loving arms and comfort, protect, watch over, guide, forgive, heal, dry your tears, and be with you always even walking through the valley of the shadow of death beside you. That's the Jesus that I pray my child will come to know and love as her Heavenly Father. Parents, never stop praying for your children. God does hear and listens and answers the prayers from his faithful servants.

Loving Lord,

I thank you for your Word.
I love your Word. May my daughter grow to love your Word.
I pray that my daughter will find your Word refreshing and thought-provoking. I pray that as she reads your Word, she will receive your life-changing wisdom.
I pray that my daughter will see your great love for her sprinkled all through your Scriptures.
I pray that my daughter would enjoy the same kind of intimacy with you that I have with you.
May she feel safe with you. May she be at peace that you have her best interest at heart.
May she run to you in happy times and in sad times.
This is my prayer to you, Lord.
Amen

Shepherd of my Soul,
Today I come boldly to your throne - carrying great needs, yet full of the knowledge that you are the answer to every one of them.
I thank you for your goodness and grace. I thank you for your love and mercy. Your compassion is intertwined in everything you do.
My request of you, Lord, is for my children. I pray that love would fill their hearts and salvation their desires.  
Grant me, Lord, that you will move heaven and earth, if necessary, to reach out to my children with salvation.
Give them every opportunity to repent and receive eternal life.  
In Jesus mighty name I pray,
Amen

9-16-23 Santa Staleness

Santa Staleness :: By Edwin Tan Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles My one and only trip to Israel had more than a profound effect on my present-day psyche. It might have been three decades ago, but there is more than a lingering aftertaste. It happened smack in the last fortnight of the year. Surprisingly absent were the familiar sights and sounds of the Christmas most people are accustomed to. Hardly any Christmas decorations in downtown Tel Aviv, if not any of the shopping thoroughfares across the Holy Land. Hanukah was a breath of fresh air – not anything resembling a Christmas carol most people grew up with did surface. The Christmas Eve service in a small Protestant church not far away from Jerusalem’s Old City was awesome; songs that truly celebrated the virgin birth of our Lord, which though seemingly unheard of, were a welcome inspiration to many a soul. There was even one sung in Arabic! So it began, my overt disdain for the secular Christmas t...

9-25-23 The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas

The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas :: By Bill Wilson Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:Bill Wilson, General Articles There are a lot of terrible things going on right now in the world. But we are at the time of the year when we, as Christians, celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We can choose to be impacted by the world around us in its dimly lit arena, or we can choose to let our light so shine. I choose the latter. I want to tell you a little about the Christmas that I had growing up on our family farm in Ohio. I was blessed to be born into a horse and cattle farm that has been in our family for some 200 years. And Christmas, especially Christmas Eve, was a wonderful time for our family. December 24 was my Dad’s birthday. And my Dad was well-loved by his neighbors and friends, so we had a lot going on Christmas Eve. I remember one special Christmas Eve. I must have been about four years old. The night was falling, and the wind and snow were whipping across the barny...

9-15-23 Miracles 2

Miracles 2 :: By Jim Towers Published on: December 21, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles This story is a continuation of the exciting things God continues doing in my life. I was supposed to have died a while back, and sometimes I feel as though I may do so soon. But since I’m ready to meet my maker, I have no fear of death. In fact, my evangelistic zeal has only increased, especially as I see the fast approaching of the “Tribulation period” mentioned in the book of Revelation. Insofar as my acting career is concerned, I just finished filming a soliloquy featuring Melchior, one of the three Magi who followed the star to Christ lying in the manger, and am preparing to portray a Jewish Priest on stage. Like I said, God is working overtime in my life, and I will be appearing on stage singing Broadway show tunes sometime in March, so I have a lot of rehearsing to do. In the meantime, I will be signing Christmas carols acapella at a park here in Naples. Since it is a spontaneous th...
