He is there!
Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good. Romans 8:28 MSG Originally posted 2016-03-14 06:57:11.
‘Miracle’ in Idaho: Pastor shot 6 times in the back after praying for Ted Cruz on his way to recovery, says family
The pastor in Idaho who was shot six times in the back and suffered a collapsed lung is on his way to recovery—a development that his family described as a miracle. Pastor Tim Remington, 55, was shot at around 2 p.m. Sunday at the parking lot of the Altar Church in Coeur d’Alene by suspected gunman Kyle Odom, 30, who was arrested Tuesday outside the White House in Washington, D.C. after he threw “objects” over the fence, NBC News reported. Remington’s son Jeremiah said what happened to his dad was a miracle. “It really is, there was a bullet that lodged in his skull. It’s an angel that said, this is as far as its gonna go today,” he said, according to KHQ. Remington’s family said God is keeping him alive. “Thank you and keep praying for him,” Jeremiah said, adding that they can forgive Odom for what he did. “If God can forgive, we can forgive,” he said. Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White said Odom was arrested while throwing objects, including documents and a computer flash drive, over the White House fence. The package included a manifesto that named U.S. House members and senators, and Israeli government officials. Remington was shot one day after he prayed at a rally of Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz in Coeur d’Alene. Odom is a former Marine who has a history of mental issues, the police said. Remington’s condition was upgraded to fair at the Kootenai Health and Medical Center. White said Odom’s attack was “pre-planned” and that he was armed during the Sunday church service. He went to the parking lot after the service and shot the pastor. Records showed that he had three minor traffic violations dating to 2002. A resume available publicly showed Odom worked as a flight expedition technician for the Marine Corps from 2006 to 2010 in Camp Pendleton, California. He was given the Iraq Campaign Medal with one star. He graduated from the University of Idaho as a summa cum laude in biochemistry in 2014. During his college days, he was awarded a fellowship in 2013 for advanced research in aging. Originally posted 2016-03-14 06:31:10.
Is it a sin to gamble? What does the Bible have to say about gambling?
I was once asked by a member of our church a very trivial question. It needed a lot of thinking and the leading of the Holy Spirit to answer, and by God’s grace I was able to shed some light that day. The question went something like this: “If I were to make a living from professional lottery betting and give a very significant portion to the poor and to the church, would gambling still then be a sin?” The Bible says nothing directly against gambling, betting and the lottery, but that’s not to say that the Bible is incomplete or that gambling just took a slide. Although the Bible does not give us a picture of how we are not to earn money, it is filled with stories of how we are supposed to earn money. God reminds us of two truths when it comes to earning money: that it comes solely because of the grace of God, and that the most natural way that God allows us to earn money is to work for it, not win it. The Bible has nothing against getting rich, that’s true, but it does warn us against getting rich too quickly, which is what most people really desire when they gamble or bet. Proverbs 13:11 tells us that “Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.” When we gamble, we put ourselves in a spot where we set ourselves up for destruction. A Biblical example would be the prodigal son. Though he didn’t get his wealth through gambling, God wanted to tell us how quick money will often spell quick danger. There are also those who argue that gambling can be a form of leisure for those who have disposable wealth to squander, but isn’t that just wasteful and selfish? The Bible also speaks of the love of money, which comes easily when we have too much of it right away. I remember the time I started one of my most successful business ventures prior to becoming a full-time minster. I was 18 years old and earning a lot of money. Was I sinning by working hard? No, I wasn’t, but the true goal of my work was to honor my wallet, not God. That was sin, and I had to repent. Luke 16:11 tells us, “If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?” Gambling is bad not because we earn money. It can be treacherous because it is often always a given that we try to earn money without the God-ordained purpose of working hard for it and trusting Him to bless us because of our labor. That’s not to say that we work hard and think it’s about our ability. At the end of the day, it’s about honoring God and doing things His way, trusting that He will make things work out for us.
