A Word From Our Executive Director - March 14, 2012 |
 In the next few days, all of our churches should receive the packet of material that has been prepared to guide us through the month dedicated to an emphasis on prayer. It can be used to encourage the discipline of prayer for the individual as well as for corporate participation. In the past, January of each year was chosen for this observance. Because both National Day of Prayer and Global Day of Prayer have been scheduled for the month of May, we chose to move our prayer emphasis to the same month. |

Inner City Challenge
Needs are overwhelming in any major city. Often it has been pointed out that needs far outweigh the resources in the inner city. In Philippians 4:19 we read, “God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” So we must discover that the city has resources, but the resources need to be reallocated for transformation from debilitating needs to realized potential. The people of the city may need help unlocking the necessary resources. |

IF Update - March 14, 2012 |
|
At this time of the year, the statement of Jesus “Render unto Caesar things that are Caesar’s” (Matthew 22:21) reminds all of us of our obligation to pay our taxes. Regardless of how you feel about this subject, we are all committed to meet the expectations placed upon us by our government. The rest of this verse speaks to our commitment to give God the things that he deserves. When I read this passage, I began to raise a question in my mind about the things that I should render unto God. Most of us would include reading of his word, spending time in prayer, witnessing and other things. The reality is that God wants all of us and nothing less. |
