December 7, 2007 To The Ends of The Earth

Verse for the week:
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.(Rev 8:3-4)

Other News:
It's neat to think about prayer as a direct telephone connection to heaven. When we call on God, He's right there listening. Talking with God in prayer is just as real as talking to someone on the phone. The only difference is that we don't get immediate feedback. The upside is that we'll never have a "dropped call." God always hears...and responds when the time is right.
