After watching "Extreme Make-over Home Edition" tonight I was awed to see my roommate wipe a few tears from his cheeks. My room mate is not what I would consider warm hearted. After checking over ABC's web site trying to find a forum I could post in I ran into their mission statement. I was again stunned to see a large network/company being this open with something other than their wallets in mind.

Watch ABC to see the many causes our stars support. Here's a sampling of your favorite stars and the topics they address:

COMPASSION

There's no greater feeling than making someone feel special. Whether it's granting a wish to a sick child, volunteering for your favorite organization, providing a home for a pet, or being someone's mentor, we all have the ability to make a difference in each other's lives.

:thumbsup: I to watched abc tonight...what an awesome show. I was moved to tears all the way through it. I couldn't believe the wonderful thing this crew was doing for that family. My husband even wiped some tears from his own eyes after watching the "reveal".

Its so nice to see something so uplifting....I too caught the "reflect" a little light that Ty Pendleton (?) mentioned....the one designer even, using sign language, signed "you have a wonderful family...may God bless you"

Love and Blessings,

Angel

Sometimes there are good things to watch on television. As of July 2004, I cancelled my cable subscription completely. I don't even get the basic channels. Not one. I didn't know how I would fare, but it turned out that I flourished! I don't miss television at all!

Why did I cancel? I got tired of all the sex, violence and vulgar language being shown daily. If I wanted that, I would watch the news! I got tired of all the reality shows and people getting their entertainment from watching someone else's misfortune, pain or humiliation. Let's not forget the constant bombardment of advertising telling people that life is all about living for yourself. Christians must remind themselves, in spite of the media's attempts, that life is about living for God.

That said, I'm not against people having cable! It just wasn't for me... I'm nobody's judge. I wouldn't want to be. The pay isn't good enough.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
