David’s Mighty Warriors 2 Samuel : 23 :8-23 These are the names of David’s mighty warriors: Josheb-Basshebeth,[a] a Tahkemonite,[b] was chief of the Three; he raised his spear against eight hundred men, whom he killed[c] in one encounter. 9 Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty warriors, he was with David when they taunted the Philistines gathered at Pas Dammim[d] for battle. Then the Israelites retreated, 10 but Eleazar stood his ground and struck down the Philistines till his hand grew tired and froze to the sword. The Lord brought about a great victory that day. The troops returned to Eleazar, but only to strip the dead. 11 Next to him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines banded together at a place where there was a field full of lentils, Israel’s troops fled from them. 12 But Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field. He defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the Lord brought abo...

They are trapped in lives of misery—often beaten, starved, and forced to work as prostitutes or to take grueling jobs as migrant, domestic, restaurant, or factory workers with little or no pay. We’re working hard to stop human trafficking —not only because of the personal and psychological toll it takes on society, but also because it facilitates the illegal movement of immigrants across borders and provides a ready source of income for organized crime groups and even terrorists.  Human sex trafficking is becoming a big problem in not only the states, but the world. Sources say human trafficking is a 40-billion dollar a year industry world-wide. Human trafficking is a hard crime to get good statistics on because there is so much fear in the victims to come forward and the traffickers are usually very well hidden. Women are usually the ones taking in to trafficking crimes. They are unable to defend themselves and many of the women are immigrants in a foreign count...

President Obama on same sex marriage-God is in the Mix. “I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman,” Obama told Rick Warren. “Now, for me as a Christian, it’s also a sacred union. You know, God’s in the mix.” Obama on Wednesday said his views on same-sex marriage have evolved and he openly offered his support for lesbians and gays to enter into that “sacred union” where “God’s in the mix.” Obama set off a firestorm on Wednesday when he told ABC News, “It is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married.” President Obama's position on the issue of marriage became an issue earlier this week after Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan each stated their support for same-sex marriage. The comments were applauded by advocates for same-sex marriage who hoped that the President would also speak out in favour of it. The Word of God is not evolving.  Its already been ...

A Match Made in Heaven Inside Mary’s house, the prayer meeting had come to a halt and a debate was raging. Some said Peter had been delivered. Others said it was just an apparition standing at the door, but all the while Peter continued knocking. After all the fasting and prayer had been done, there was still something those faithful intercessors needed to do before they could receive the miracle they so earnestly desired. They had to get off their knees and go answer the door. This is a powerful illustration because the truth is that prayer, while powerful and necessary, is not enough. Prayer must be accompanied by action, just as a gun must be equipped with bullets. James made the connection when he said, “…Faith without works is dead also” (James 2:26). Jesus told the disciples to pray for laborers to be sent out into the harvest, and then He turned to those very same men, and said, “…GO into all the world and preach the gospel…” (Mark 16:15 NKJV). The d...
