 "The Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon and said to him,
"The Lord is with you, O valiant warrior."
(Judges 6:12)

 "Chayil" pronounced, "khah-yil" is a Hebrew word found throughout the
Old Testament, and denotes a rich, multidimensional concept of strength,
valor, and capability. It is often used in describing the mindset of a
warrior or a mighty character.  

Like the victorious Gideon in Israel's battle against the Midianites, 
 the true warrior of God seeks first His counsel, are obedient to Him,
 and relies on His strength rather than their own.  

"The LORD will go forth like a mighty man, He will rouse up His zealous
 indignation and vengeance like a warrior; He will cry, yes, He will shout aloud. 
He will do mightily against His enemies."
(Isaiah 42:13) 

In the ever increasing darkness of this world, where God's truth is consistently under
attack, or, has been replaced by lies and apostasy, believers in Christ are called to be 
valiant warriors in our daily walk of faith, to be examples of His integrity and courage,
 His truthfulness, and simplicity, in proclaiming the soul-saving message of the Gospel.

"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life.  Whoever rejects the Son will
not see life.  Instead, the wrath of God remains on them."
(John 3:36)

"Now brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you
received and in which you stand firm. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold
firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For
what I received I passed on to you of first importance: that Christ died for our
sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the
third day according to the Scriptures."
(1 Corinthians 15:1-4)

Never alone do we journey below,

 

Tho' dark clouds lower and wild tempests blow;

Jesus, our Savior, leads on day by day,

 

He will go with us each step of the way. 

Never alone-he's a friend and a guide,

 

Never alone-ever close to our side.

 

Never alone-naught our hearts should dismay,

 

For He will go with us each step of the way. 

 

Never alone, tho' the path's rough and steep,

 

He who is with us our footsteps will keep.

 

Safe o'er life's troubles He lifts us alway;

 

He will go with us each step of the way.

 

Never alone, tho' ofttimes we forget

 

When dangers threaten and hardships beset;

 

If from the pathway we heedlessly stray,

 

Still He is with us each step of the way.

 

 

Never alone, His strong arm will not fail

 

E'en to uphold us thro' death's narrow vale;

 

To that fair land where forever 'tis day,

 

He will go with us each step of the way.

 

 

 

Never alone-he's a friend and a guide,

 

Never alone-ever close to our side.

 

Never alone-naught our hearts should dismay,

 

For He will go with us each step of the way.

An Unexpected Mother's Day Gift

 

 

"Every child deserves the opportunity to be welcomed into the world, 
and every mother deserves support and encouragement."
-Carol Tobias, President of National Right To Life

In a press statement released by National Right to Life, the Trump Administration
and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has announced the launching
of Moms.gov., a new federal resource designed to support women, children and
families through pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenting.

"National Right to Life is grateful to President Trump, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,
and the Department of Health and Human Services for recognizing that mothers and families
deserve real support," said Carol Tobias, President of National Right to Life Committee.
"Too often, women facing a difficult or unexpected pregnancies are told that abortion is
their only option.  Moms.gov sends a different message-that mothers, babies, and 
 families matter, and that compassionate resources and assistance are available." 

The launch of Moms.gov coincides with Mother's Day and reflects a broader 
commitment to promote maternal and child well-being. 

"Women deserve access to comprehensive information and meaningful support
throughout pregnancy and motherhood," Tobias said. "By connecting families with
resources that encourage health and hope, Moms.gov represents an important step
towards a culture that values both mother and child." 

"National Right to Life appreciates this effort to provide practical help for
families at every stage of pregnancy and parenting." she added. 

After last month's disappointing news concerning President Trump's decision
to fund Planned Parenthood, this is definitely a happy and unexpected surprise!

Now, if he will only rescind his decision to fund Planned Parenthood, and ban the sales 
of over-the-counter and mail order abortion drugs, even more lives will be saved!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dr. Charles Stanley: The Courage To Keep Going

 

 

 

 "So do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, or of me, His prisoner.
instead, join me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God."
(2 Timothy 1:8)

  

In this teaching by Dr. Charles Stanley, while we often feel tempted to quit
in the middle of difficult circumstances, giving up is not in keeping
 with who we are as followers of Christ Jesus.

The apostle Paul is a perfect example of someone who never gave up
despite persistent difficulty and hardship.
