FOOTPRINTS
One night I had a dream. I dreamed I was walking along the beach with God.
Across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets
of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me, and the other to God.
When the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints
in the sand. I also noticed that many times along the path of my life there was
only one set of footprints in the sand. I also noticed that it happened at the
very lowest and saddest times of my life. This really bothered me and I questioned
God about it.
"God, you said that once I decided to follow you you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most difficult times in my life, there is
only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you
would leave me."
God replied, "My precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During
your times of suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then
that I carried you."
The Power Of Prayer
When Pastor Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual
politically correct generalities. But on January 23, 1996, what they heard instead was a stirring prayer, passionately
calling our country to repentance and righteousness.
The response was immediate - with a number of legislators walking out during the prayer. In six short weeks Centeral
Christian Church logged more than 5,000 phone calls, with only 47 of those calls responding negatively.
Commentator Paul Harvey aired Pastor Joe Wright's prayer on the radio and received a larger response to this
program than any other program Paul Harvey has ever aired. In addition, Centeral Christian Church is now receiving
international requests for copies of this prayer from India, Africa, and Korea.
The prayer is reprinted below as an encouragement and a challenge for each of us to stand for the truth
of the Gospel wherever the Lord gives us opportunity.
Heavenly Father, We come before You today to ask Your forgiveness and seek Your direction and
guidance. We know Your Word says, "Woe on those who call evil good," but that is exactly what we have
done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and inverted our values. We confess that:
We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it pluralism;
We have worshipped other gods and called it multi-culturalism;
We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle;
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery;
We have neglected the needy and called it self-preservation;
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare;
We have killed our unborn and called it choice;
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable;
We have neglected to dicipline our children and called it building self esteem;
We have abused power and called it political savvy;
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition;
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression;
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, O God, and know our hearts today; try us and see if there be some wicked way in us;
cleanse us from every sin and set us free.
Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent here by the people of Kansas, and who have
been ordained by You, to govern this great state.
Grant them Your wisdom to rule and may their decisions direct us to the center of Your will. I ask in the
name of Your Son, the Living Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen

Truth
I am made in the image of God. I have tremendous value. My abilities are many.
I have scores of characteristics that others admire. Certanly I have experienced
failure. Who hasn't? But that does not mean that I am a failure. I will be a
failure only if I choose to fail. On the other hand, if I choose to succeed,
nothing, including my feeling of inferiority,can keep me from my goal

What Would Jesus Do?
Lord, throughout this day,
as I try to follow you,
Let this be my rule to live by:
What Would Jesus Do?
When a friend or loved one
asks me for a moment or two,
May I think of one thing only:
What Would Jesus Do?
In all my dealings, help me
to be honest, fair and true,
To measure each decision by:
What Would Jesus Do?
When I'm feeling troubled
and I turn in prayer to you,
Give me wisdom to decide:
What Would Jesus Do?
Then when the day is ended,
May I resolve anew
to guide tomorrow by this motto:
What Would Jesus Do?
For all you scientists out there and for all the students who have a
hard time convincing these people regarding the truth of the Bible ...
here's something that shows Gods awesome creation and shows that He is still
in control.
Did you know that the space program is busy proving that what has
been called "myth" in the Bible is true? Mr. Harold Hill, President of
the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore Maryland and a consultant in the
space program, relates the following development: I think one of the most
amazing things that God has for us today happened recently to our
astronauts and space scientists at Green Belt, Maryland. They were checking
the position of the sun, moon, and planets out in
space where they would be 100 years and 1000 years from now. We have
to know this so we won't send a satellite, up and have it bump into
something later on its orbits. We have to lay out the orbits in terms
of the life of the satellite, and where the planets will be so the whole
thing will not bog down.
They ran the computer measurement back and forth over the centuries
and it came to a halt. The computer stopped and put up a red signal,
which meant that there was something wrong either with the information fed
into it or with the results as ompared to the standards. They called in
the service department to check it out and they said "What's wrong?"
Well, they found there is a day missing in space in elapsed time. They
scratched their heads and tore out their hair. There was no answer.
Finally, a Christian man on the team said, "You know, one time I was
in Sunday school and they talked about the sun standing still." While
they didn't believe him, they didn't have an answer either, so they said,
"Show us".
He got a Bible and went back to the book of Joshua where they found a
pretty ridiculous statement for any one with "common sense ". There
they found the Lord saying to Joshua, "Fear them not, I have delivered
them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee."
Joshua was concerned because he was surrounded by the enemy and if darkness
fell they would overpower them. So Joshua asked the Lord to make the sun
stand till! That's right - "The sun stood still and the moon
stayed---and hasted not to go down out a whole day!"
The astronauts and scientists said, "There is the missing day!" They
checked the computers going back into the time it was written and
found it was close but not close enough. The elapsed time that was missing
back in Joshua's day was 23 hours and 20 minutes - not a whole day.
They read the Bible and there it was "about (approximately) a day". These
little words in the Bible are important, but they were still in
trouble because if you cannot account for 40 minutes you'll still be in
trouble 1,000 years from now. Forty minutes had to be found because it can
be multiplied many times over in orbits.
As the Christian employee thoughs about it, he remembered somewhere
in the Bible where it said the sun went BACKWARDS. The scientists told
him he was out of his mind, but they got out the Book and read these
words in 2 Kings Hezekiah, on his death-bed, was visited by the prophet Isaiah
who told him that he was not going to die. Hezekiah asked for a sign as
proof. Isaiah said, "Do you want the sun to go ahead 10 degrees?"
Hezekiah said, "It is nothing for the sun to go ahead 10 degrees, but
let the Shadow return backward 10 degrees.." Isaiah spoke to the Lord
and the Lord brought the shadow ten degrees BACKWARD!
Ten degrees is exactly 40 minutes! Twenty three hours and 20 minutes
in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in Second Kings make the missing day in the
universe!
Isn't it amazing? Our God is rubbing their noses in His Truth!
