Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music to our God on the harp.

Palms 147:7'
NIV

Thanksgiving... Don't Miss The Joy

But what does a socially responsible young adult do about family? Should a couple have children? If so, how many? Is a large family a curse on the planet or a blessing? As Psalm 127 says, "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!"

I deal with this issue every day in my...

God's Word

For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:17-21

Manhattan Declaration... No Compromise... Justice and the Common Good

**********************

Read the Manhattan Declaration.

Washington Post article

World Magazine editorial

God's Word

Do you not know, brothers-- for I am speaking to men who know the law-- that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives? For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. So then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man.

Romans 7:1-3
NIV

God's Word

"Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. "But you ask, 'How do we rob you?' "In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse-- the whole nation of you-- because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.

Churches Helping Hurting People...

WAKE FOREST, NC, Nov. 18 /Christian Newswire/ -- Churches across the nation are hosting DivorceCare Surviving the Holidays seminars to help people in divorce or separation deal with the painful, debilitating emotions they face during the holiday season. The total participation from non-churched people has exceeded expectations.

Churches are finding this two-hour, video-based seminar consistently draws people from the community into their churches. Don Hooper, who led an event at Worthington Christian Church in Columbus, OH, said, "We were overwhelmed with the turnout ... 40! There were 10–15 who had never walked through the door before!"

Why are these programs so effective? Dr. Michael Lindsay, a sociologist at Rice University says...

WSJ: Earning Commission on the Great Commission

[This comes as a tip from our #CCDA friend, Rudy Carrasco... "An article on the Business as Mission movement in Friday's Wall Street Journal contains background on Partners Worldwide, the nonprofit I currently work for as an associate director, as well as quotes by Doug Seebeck, our Executive Director."]

By Rob Moll

Christian missionaries have always brought institutions from home and planted them in foreign lands. Schools, hospitals and social services are staples of missionary activity. But recently those who spread the faith overseas have realized that it's not enough to educate and provide health care. In the midst of a world-wide recession, people need jobs, and a growing number of missionaries—many of them working outside traditional missionary organizations—are taking their business skills and starting for-profit companies in the mission fields...

[continued at Wall Street Journal]

[More from Rudy...] "At Partners we recently published a book on our unique approach to Business as Mission, an approach that emphasizes skills-based volunteering by Christian business people. The book is called My Business, My Mission. The book uses a case study-type approach to tell "boots on the ground" stories of entrepreneurs around the world who are creating jobs to alleviate poverty. Visit the web site and order the book. And let me know if you'd like to talk more about this topic, take a vision trip, or invite a Partners Worldwide staffer to speak to your church or at your event.

Miracles still happen--vision for orphanage on Indy West Side

Dear Servant of Christ,

God put it on our hearts to start a Christian orphanage/foster home for kids (that we affectionately call The Lodge) on the west side of Indianapolis. We have grant writers, social workers, volunteers, construction companies, attorneys, etc. starting to line up behind this amazing thing that God is doing!

We met with the master builder on a Wednesday and asked him what it would take for him to understand that God is moving in miraculous ways, not just luck or coincidences, but miracles. We specifically asked him, “Mike, what do you need to see so that you will surrender to God on this project and do it His way and drop all of our silly logic?” He said he would need to see property in hand and $250,000 in the bank. That was Wednesday, and by that Saturday we were offered 22 acres of land that has already been zoned for an orphanage and counseling center in which to build on. You tell us…is God in this?

We now understand that God wants to raise the $250,000 in one day, one 24 hour period: Saturday the 14th at 5pm to Sunday the 15th at 5pm. Will you help us somehow? Will you be a part of the miracle that God wants to deliver? See the video below:

Now go to the web site at www.dynamisministries.org. Let us know where God is leading you. Spread the word far and wide! He still moves mountains!
In Christ,

God's Word

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Rick Warren, Saddleback To Actively Support Persecuted Church

By Dan Wooding
Founder of ASSIST Ministries

LAKE FOREST, CA (ANS) -- Rick Warren, senior pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., one of America’s largest congregations and author of the huge-selling book, “The Purpose Driven Life,” has pledged to throw his support behind persecuted Christians around the world.

Warren made the surprise announcement Sunday, Nov. 8, when hosting the “Saddleback Civil Forum on the Persecuted Church,” the fifth in a series of civil forums.

Michael Cromartie, vice-president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, Dr. Carl Moeller, president and chief executive officer Open Doors USA and Pastor Dishan Wickramaratne, from Sri Lanka, came together to discuss the struggle for religious freedom and the persecution that afflicts millions across the globe.

Warren interviewed each of the guests individually and then held a round-table discussion with the group. He turned to the congregation and told them Saddleback would start a new “signature” ministry to help persecuted Christians. Saddleback already has...

God's Word

For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-- the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

God's Word

For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.

UBcafe, FHL Represented Among Mayor's Community Awards

Wednesday, Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard honored the recipients of this year's Community Service Awards. 19 residents were honored for their volunteer commitment and contributions.

The event was hosted downtown on the canal at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center.

A brick will be engraved with each recipient’s name and placed at the Mayor's Volunteer Plaza at the 11th Street Admiral Spruance basin on the Canal.

The mayor invited the recipients to the skybox for Sunday's game, as this season's undefeated Colts host the Houston Texans. Deputy-mayor Olgen Williams quipped that he would gladly stand-in for recipient Pastor Roosevelt Sanders who wouldn't be done preaching by the game's 1 p.m. start-time.

Among the recipients, Sister Elease Womack was honored for her service in the heart of the city at the Unleavened Bread Cafe.

Also a recipient, Faith Hope & Love volunteer Wilfredo 'Willy' de la Rosa was honored for his FHL involvement among multiethnic refugee groups now living in Greater Indianapolis.
