Heroes Wanted

-Greg Laurie

"Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." - Deuteronomy 31:6

The world has never been more advanced technologically, yet we have never been in worse shape spiritually and morally. It can be frightening to wonder what kind of world we are going to face and what kind of world our children and grandchildren will grow up in.

We need courage to live in these days as followers of Jesus Christ. Yet courage seems to be something that is in short supply today. Sometimes we forget what real heroism and real courage really are. We wonder where all the heroes are now.

I believe that anyone today who is a true follower of Jesus Christ and will stand up for what he or she believes is a true hero. It takes courage to be a follower of Jesus, to live an uncompromised life, to do the right thing, and to proclaim the gospel. Those who do that are heroes in my book.

It takes courage for a young Christian to resist peer pressure and remain sexually pure until marriage and then to be faithful in that marriage. It takes courage for a family to stay together and to resist the temptation to cave in at the first sight of a problem or a challenge to the vows they have made to one another. It takes courage today to be honest and not cheat. It takes courage to follow Jesus. It takes a real man and a real woman to be a follower of Christ.

Is this a description of your life right now? Are you someone who fears nothing but sin and desires nothing but God? Have courage. He is with you, and He will not forsake you.

Please pray for my son!

His heart is failing.

This is my son, his name is Kollin. Let me tell you what a great kid I have. Without going into years of detail I would say that his best quality is that He almost always considers others first. Even when facing such an early death, his prayers last night were focused on abused children all because we drove by a sign that gave some stats on child abuse. He really is a great kid. I am blessed to be his second dad and I am blessed to learn from him what faith really means.

If you believe in prayer, I am asking you from the bottom of my heart to put it to use! I have three specific prayer requests that I ask of you. The first is that God will heal my son's heart and make him well. The second is that our family will have the strength to carry on and the third is that if my boy should go home to be with Jesus, that we will accept it as Gods perfect will.

When Kollin was four we discovered that he had a rare heart disease called HCM. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in simplest definition it is when the heart muscle becomes hard and has to work extra hard to function. Have you ever heard of a healthy football player dropping dead on the field? That is an example of a case where the disease was not discovered until too late. We were blessed to discover Kollins condition at an early age but unfortunately his condition has suddenly taken a turn for the worse. His doctor has placed him at a rare "Sudden Death" risk due to massive hardening and blockage of his heart that occurred over the last six months. We are waiting on a group of doctors at UAB to discuss our options. It is already too late to scrape his heart to thin the muscle so we are not sure what we face.

Kollin is really the strong one through all of this. His biggest concern is that if he dies, his 7 month old baby sister will have never known him. How do you respond to that?

Please pray for my boy. Please ask your church and everyone you know to pray for him. You can email me for more information if you want that you can forward to others to pray for Kollin. My email address is badride5 at gmail.com

Thank you and God bless you!
Because of Christ,
Scott Smith

Passion!

Can a few people make a difference? Can you make a difference? Yes you can! It starts with one beautiful person like you! As the body of Christ, we have been trusted with the great commission; to spread the faith to all the nations of the world!

Here is a very simple start: Every lens here that assists in spreading the Love of Christ simply rate that lens. I will personally open each lens and rate as time permits. Find a lens that touches your heart? Post that lens on your page as a featured lens. Don't worry if that person will link back to you. If they do, fantastic. If not, fine. Also, leave an inspiring comment! Every one loves to hear a good job every now and then!

I don't know where this quote comes from but I love it:

"There is no end to the great things we can accomplish if we don't worry about who gets the credit"

I thank you brothers and sisters and I will pray for you to succeed in the great commission and your growth in the knowledge of the Lord!

Are you on fire?



According to research; the growth of Christianity in the United States has been on a level plain for many years now. Neither growth nor decline.
Revelations 3:16 (NIV) tells us: So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

If you're not passionate for Christ right now, that's ok BUT please be aware tomorrow may never come for many of us or others around us. Carpe Diem!

John Wesley once said: "When you set yourself on fire, people love to come and see you burn."

GREAT JOB LENSMASTERS!

"Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance." -MARK 2:17

You guys are doing a great job! Squidoo is really cool but let's face it; there is a category for pornography but nothing for religion. Jesus did not send his disciples out to become more religious or off to a mountain to unlock the secrets of the inner self, He sent us as sheep among wolves with the Shepherd of all Shepherds': Jesus Christ!
I see these lenses growing and I am inspired and energized to work harder and expect less. Thank you brothers and sisters of faith! Keep up the good work, stay strong to your faith and await the blessing God has in store for you!

"A faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished." -PROVERBS 28:20
