Everyone is invited to Monday Night Prayer Meetings Monday Evening Prayer Meetings at 'His Sanctuary' The Monday evening prayer nights have been wonderful. It reminds me a lot of the beginning years of our ministry, as hungry hearts came to seek the Lord. We’ve had precious times of prayer together, and God’s presence has been so real. As Jerry shares God’s Word with us, we sit on the edge of our seats taking it all in – flipping through the pages of our Bible to follow along. Our heart’s cry has been “Souls, Lord!” That prayer is already being answered at His Sanctuary, as people are bringing their unsaved friends. Sometimes it’s a lot easier to bring them to a house where they feel welcome and comfortable. We never tire of seeing people give their hearts to Jesus Christ! If you have a friend or relative who really needs to touch the Lord, this is where I’d bring them. It’s possible to sit in a service, week after week, and never get to know people. We were ‘spurred on’ to make sure that doesn’t happen at His Sanctuary. Each week, one person is given the opportunity to share their testimony with the group. It’s great to hear how the Lord reached each person with the gospel, and the way it changed their lives. We love getting better acquainted with one another, and look forward to seeing you there. We hope to see you there! The meeting start at 7:00pm every Monday evening. Please click here to read the whole story and for driving directions.

Jewish man removed from airplane, his offence? praying! Jewish man removed from airplane, his offence? praying... This article says it all when it comes to rules and laws regulating prayer. You won't believe what they are doing now to try and stop religion in public places, that is enless you've been watching events unfold recently. Some fellow passengers are questioning why an Orthodox Jewish man was removed from an Air Canada Jazz flight in Montreal last week for praying. The man was a passenger on a Sept. 1 flight from Montreal to New York City when the incident happened. The airplane was heading towards the runway at the Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport when eyewitnesses said the Orthodox man began to pray. "He was clearly a Hasidic Jew," said Yves Faguy, a passenger seated nearby. "He had some sort of cover over his head. He was reading from a book. "He wasn't exactly praying out loud but he was lurching back and forth," Faguy added. The action didn't seem to bother anyone, Faguy said, but a flight attendant approached the man and told him his praying was making other passengers nervous. "The attendant actually recognized out loud that he wasn't a Muslim and that she was sorry for the situation but they had to ask him to leave," Faguy said. The man, who spoke neither English nor French, was escorted off the airplane. Air Canada Jazz termed the situation "delicate," but says it received more than one complaint about the man's behaviour. The crew had to act in the interest of the majority of passengers, said Jazz spokeswoman Manon Stewart. "The passenger did not speak English or French, so we really had no choice but to return to the gate to secure a translator," she said. The airline is not saying if the man was told he was not allowed to pray, but a spokesperson said the man was back on board the next flight to New York. Jewish leaders in Montreal criticized the move as insensitive, saying the flight attendants should have explained to the other passengers that the man was simply praying and doing no harm. Hasidic Rabbi Ronny Fine said he often prays on airplanes, but typically only gets curious stares. "If it's something that you're praying in your own seat and not taking over the whole plane, I don't think it should be a problem," said Fine. The Jewish group B'nai Brith Canada has offered to help give Air Canada crews sensitivity training. Please click here to read the whole story and post a prayer.

Children Fight to Save Comatose Mom From Life Support Removal, please pray Children Fight to Save Comatose Mom From Life Support Removal, please pray DALLAS, Texas, August 21, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The children of a comatose woman are challenging in court the “compassionate reasons” for a Texas hospital’s decision to remove their mother’s life-saving treatment, asserting that their mother, a devout Baptist woman, never would consent to anyone but God ending her life. On August 8, just days after 61-year-old Ruthie Webster's insurance stopped full coverage of her long-term care, the Regency Hospital’s bioethics committee in North Dallas, Texas, unanimously told the Webster family that they would discontinue life-preserving dialysis treatment for their mother within 10 days. The hospital claimed that Ruthie Webster's physician "has seen no appreciable change in your mother's medical condition" and that continued treatment was an exercise in futility. The decision shocked family members, since their mother is not brain-dead, but comatose, and has been making slow progress, breathing now on her own without a ventilator, ever since she suffered a bad reaction after undergoing kidney dialysis in June rendering her mostly unresponsive. The family, however, has said their mother told them to take care of her in such a situation, saying that she believes only God has the right to take life away. "My mom spent her life in the church. She always felt like, 'Who are we to decide? God decides,'” said Lacresia Webster on Thursday. "If this is the way she's going to be, she's still my mom. I'm not giving up on her." However, the Regency Hospital board defends its decision citing a 1999 statute in Texas' Health and Safety Code that gives a hospital’s ethics committee the last word about continuing a patient's care. Under the law, if the ethics committee decides to end a patient’s medical care, including life-saving treatment, a family has only 10 days to transfer to another medical facility that will care for the patient. Although Regency has offered to help find another medical facility for Ruthie Webster in Atlanta or Indiana, the family does not want to move their mother, unless they can help it. "I find it hard to believe this is a law, because you're basically saying if this person is a burden to someone, let's just kill them, and that's unacceptable," Lacresia Webster told Dallas’s NBC 5. "When God is ready for her, God will take her, not anyone else," Lacresia Webster vowed. Intent on keeping this vow, Lacresia and her family have enlisted the aid of pro-bono attorneys who have filed a lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott challenging the constitutionality of the state's “end-of-life” law. The family then won a temporary restraining order imposed on Regency Hospital to keep Ruthie Webster alive there until a hearing set for August 28. Robert Bennet, a lawyer for the Websters said the law “allows a doctor to completely ignore what I’ve told them I wanted to do.” He added, “Mrs. Webster was a Baptist. She told her daughters very clearly that God would take her when it's her time to go. This statute violates her freedom of religion." "My mother, she's breathing on her own, just like you and I are today," said Helena Webster Hill, who lives in Atlanta. "As long as she's fighting to live, we believe we ought to stand with her and fight with her." Please click here to read the whole story and post a prayer.

California bills that would make it a crime to preach anti-homosexuality, please pray California bills that would make it a crime to preach anti-homosexuality, please pray Christians and non-Christians alike should be alarmed by the advance in California of a series of legislative proposals that target free speech and thought, according to Focus on the Family Action. James Dobson, the president of the action affiliate of Focus on the Family ministries, has issued an urgent call to the millions of radio program listeners to contact California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger before he is asked to sign the bills. "What all four bills will do, they will reinforce homosexuality, bisexuality and transgenderism in a positive light," Focus State Issues Analyst Mona Passignano told WorldNetDaily. So what's wrong with a positive light? Maybe nothing. But, she said, "They will keep people from saying anything negative about them." "You cannot preach the Gospel. If you want to preach about Romans 1, you can't. Someone could say, 'That makes me feel bad,'" she said. "You cannot preach what the Bible says. "If you're a Christian, it's got to be alarming. If you are not a Christian, it's got to be alarming," she said. "Because what comes next? "Is someone going to say, 'You can't drive a red car, that's the color of heterosexuals. You have to drive a purple car?" She said she explains the nuances that could become law by referencing "Nazi Germany." "It's just a historical fact, but you could make Germans feel bad every time you say Nazi Germany," she said. "The (California) bills say you can't say anything negative." Dobson, who founded Focus in California more than two decades ago, said if those proposals become law, the California Legislature will deliver the state's children "straight into the arms of the homosexual activist community." The four proposals are SB1437, SB1441, AB1056 and AB606. Some already have been approved by lawmakers, others await their final outcome. Among the new laws would be one to ban the state from doing business with any company or group that does not provide benefits to workers with "domestic partners" equal to the benefits offered workers with spouses, according to Concerned Women for America. Penny Harrington, who is the legislative liaison for Concerned Women for America of San Diego and Imperial Counties, noted there's no conscience clause, which usually is included to allow religious organizations to continue to be faithful to their beliefs...............
