Vote-catching

For some days now it's been the "Pride" Festival in Stockholm Sweden and I guess at many other places around the world. I have nothing against homosexuals, but a special festival to show off their sexuality! I 'm not fond of that. Sorry for you who like this kind of event,but that's my opinion. What I also find interesting is all these politicians who want to be a part of this parade. I guess especially this year since it is election year and it is important for them to show they care... Strange though that during the big Jesus Manifestation that took place in Stockholm in May 2010, where over 250.000 people gathered, hardly any leaders from the political parties attended. When our Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt got the question if he was aware of this BIG event in Stockholm, he did not know ANYTHING... Well, I guess he and all the other party leaders think they will get more votes during the "Pride Festival". If the party leaders want to find out

Pray Continually

I recently heard a sermon from Pastor John Ortberg, online from Menlo Park Presbyterian church. The Title was: " With", a Series: Prayer: Does It Matter? He started by quoting 1 Thessalonians 5:17, "Pray continually"... After I heard that message I was reminded that very often, we attend to try to fix things all by ourselves without praying. We often feel guilty for not take time to pray for the things we really need to ask. Pastor John Ortberg challenged us to do all things we usually do,together with Go d. Bring God with you when you read the newspaper, watch TV, Go to your office, Go to a hockey game etc. Talk to God, have a great time together with him. He can handle without us, but we cant be without him!!!

CHANGE

Many people want to change the world, but they never really consider changing themselves. When you look at TV you will find programs such as 'Extreme home make over, 'Change your garden', 'What not to wear', '10 years younger', etc. People are hungry for change. They spend a huge amount of money on their homes, cars, gardens, clothes and on "fixing their appearances". Not only money but A LOT OF time as well. They willingly go through a great deal of painful surgery to look better, slimmer, and younger. Nothing wrong in trying to look good, have a fancy home and so on but it is the balance on how we spend money and time. The real change people are longing for doesn't come from outside, but from inside. Do they know, however, that they are just one decision away from the real change? It is the decision to invite Jesus Christ into their hearts. It is only when we follow Jesus as our personal savior that the real change can begin. Take time
