Today we began our 2013 Prayer Emphasis Week at the Shiloh Church.
You can download our PEW13 prayer guide here.
Each day this week, there will be a one-hour prayer meeting at noon at Shiloh. We will have an all-night prayer meeting Friday night to Saturday morning.
We baptized three persons today – two men and one woman. Praise God!
As always, it was good to have our guests in worship today.
Our children’s choir sung today. Cool.
The special music before the message today was a solo of “Is Your All On the Alter?” What a blessing!
I preached about “The World-Changing Power of Prayer” from 1 Timothy 2:1-4 in which I simply argued that prayer can change the world.
In the text, Paul gives four instructions on how to pray in a way that changes the world around you:
- Make prayer the top priority (2:1a)
- Pray by any means necessary (2:1b)
- Enlarge your circle of prayer (2:1b-2)
- Pray with God-centered motives (2:3-4)
Praise God for those who were added to the church today!
Next Sunday’s message: “Praying for the Lost” (Romans 10:1-4).
I am shocked that the Baltimore Ravens went into Denver and took down the Broncos. Ray Lew’s last dance continues.
Peyton Manning should win the MVP award!
I had no prediction about the 49ers-Packers game. I thought it would be a shoot-out. But who would expect Colin Kaepernick to have such a big game?
The Atlanta Falcons eked out a last minute victory against the Seattle Seahawks. I was hoping the Seahawks would go all the way. I doubt Atlanta will get any further.
The New England Patriots did what they do. Which is not good news for the Houston Texans.
I am hoping the changes being made by the Jaguars will turn things around for the team next season.
I don’t know what to say about my beloved Dallas Cowboys. We need a GM, desperately. And Ryan is not the coach that should have been relieved of his duties. Just saying.
As I predicted, the Alabama Crimson Tide whipped the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to win the BCS Championship Monday night.
So how are you Lakers fans doing these days?
The #1 Duke Blue Devils went down Saturday. Michigan went down today. There are now no unbeaten teams in NCAA Division 1 basketball. Bring on March Madness!
The Australian Open begins this today. Who you got?
