Thumbs Up to the Charles Stanley Institute

A big thumbs up and recommendation to the Charles Stanley Institute.

It's a great resource for all Christians to become rooted and grounded in the Word of God. Through the studies provided you will be able to learn more fully the Biblical foundations of our faith.

In addition to the online courses for study...there are resources for prayer and journaling Also discussions with fellow believers on a variety of topics.

I had started the Faith Foundations a couple of years ago...but dropped off in my studies. As I have a break this summer from Bible Study Fellowship I decided it would be beneficial to stay rooted and grounded in the Word of God. I am not disciplined enough to do it on my own. Whether it's BSF or another Bible study...I need a focused study to keep me going.

I highly recommend the Charles Stanley Institute to help you in your faith walk...and to grow as a Christian. You can also watch Charles Stanley on In Touch Ministries...each week and listen to his radio broadcast.

We are most fortunate to live today...when the Word of God is provided so abundantly...especially to those in the United States and to many around the world via the internet.

My Colors Will Be Clear

I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sight seeing, smooth knees, color-less dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, "chinchy" giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need position, promotions, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my destination is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few. My Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity.

I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of the One that gave me life, drew the line in blood for me in the hour of my destiny.

I am one of Christ's remnant people. I belong to Him and none other. All I do to bring this life to another is done because of that blood covenant poured out for me.

I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. I must share will all that one more might hear and be drawn from the flaming darkness that longs to consume. Reach for another, touch but one more!

Until that moment...He will have no problem in recognizing me- my colors will be clear!!!

Not only are the words inspiring but so is the man behind them. The above letter was written by a Pastor in Africa who was undergoing severe persecution. On the eve of his execution he sat down and wrote the above note.
