Excellence

I just read a great book by Chauncey Crandall, M.D., entitled Raising the Dead. Dr. Crandall traces his medical career and his spiritual journey since the 1970's. He and several on his staff have witnessed numerous miracles, including healings of cancer and tumors, as well as people who were clinically dead coming back to abundant life.

Dr. Crandall says his purpose now is to give his patients "the best of medicine and the best of Jesus." I really appreciate how this Yale-educated, highly respected doctor uses every possible tool at his disposal, in order to serve his patients.

You can find the book on Facebook, if you'd like to become a "fan." You can buy the book in most major bookstores, as well as online. Dr. Crandall also has a newsletter to which you can subscribe.

Safety

I've recently had numerous conversations about safety. This post isn't meant to recommend gold, or timberland, or various other commodities and hard assets. While it's important to be a good steward, especially in times like these, my main point today is to ask you this: in what do you ultimately place your trust?

A client that I serve came in yesterday, and his investments are doing fine, but he had a health challenge, so I made sure that before he left, I prayed for him. I will continue to pray for him and his family, that they know that, ultimately, nothing is worthy of our trust except God.

In the book of Matthew, Jesus reminds us that Solomon, the richest man yet to live, was not arrayed as well as lilies! So let us remember that God loves us and wants the best for us. But we must allow Him to help us. He won't bully or interfere--we have to give Him our permission. When we do, marvelous things begin to happen!

Great Information!

Hi Everyone!

I just realized that I've been so busy keeping Facebook and Twitter updated, that I've neglected to post anything recent on our blog!

For any of you who are interested in Prophecy and who may be wondering how we as Christians should react to current world events, I have 2 things to recommend to you:

1) Come to our Monday night Bible study. Robert Mawire leads them. Robert has spoken to numerous world leaders, and his prophecies have time and again come true while surprising many who once refused to believe what he said. You can find out more about Robert and his books on the following 2 links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mawire and http://www.amazon.com/Americas-manifest-Destiny-Robert-Mawire/dp/1593523025/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1273517899&sr=8-1

2) One of the books Robert recommended is the best book I've read in a long, long time! It picks up where the Book of Acts leaves off. It's written by Dumitru Duduman, who tells of his life as a Christian in Romania under the Nicolae Ceausescu regime. The book is called Through the Fire without burning: http://www.amazon.com/Through-Without-Burning-Dumitru-Duduman/dp/0963505505/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1273518381&sr=1-1
