On Jan. 27 I made my last car payment (thank you Jesus) and I was thinking great now I can snowball down everything else. Then I had tires that had to be replaced a few weeks ago (my six-year mechanic showed me and said he was surprised they hadn't blown ...) and I was thinking .."I can't get ahead" ... but, because of saving, cutting spending the past several months, I had the $263.81 CA$H to pay for it and not put it on the credit card. I came so close to charging it but said NO i'm gonna pay for this now (and this was before yesterday's sermon) ..gonna try to make it on he 17th. ... take care! God Bless!

We formed a home-based business (PFL Solutions) and have paid off one of our biggest debts...it was in the thousands; we no longer have that $281.00 monthly payment and can use that money to further pay down other debt. We also reduced our cell phone bill by over $100.00 per month (who talks that much anyway), and have a plan to be "debt-free" by December 31, 2012. I say that qualifies for a "praise report."

No one was injured in cars that were traveling around 45mph. My car was totaled. I give God all the glory, the honor and the praise for not only watching over me but also the other two ladies involved in the accident.

But it also reminds me of how we sometimes feel when we go to God with our prayer requests and the devil tries to condemn us by telling us we are not worthy to be in the presence of God, let alone having our prayer requests answered.

I'm not sure if you're referring to the daily devotionals that I'll post during the fast or the Sunday sermons, so I'll answer both - the blog posts will be here at www.betweensermons.com each day from January 15-February 4. We're actually not preaching about fasting; we're in a series about the Holy Spirit that started last Sunday and will continue thru the fast. Those messages can be accessed at our website, www.clc.tv or I think you can subscribe thru iTunes as well. Thanks again, pj Thanks, Pastor Dan – that’s kind of you.

I thought we were “saints” once we got saved. How then can we still be sinners? It’s like a former drug user getting in front of an NA group ten years after he has been delivered from drug abuse and saying ” Hi, my name is so and so and I’m a drug addict who hasn’t used drugs in ten years.” I know we still sin in word, thought and deed, but if we’re still sinners, then we’ve emptied the Cross of its power and Christ died for nothing. -- Think about it that's where saved by grace comes in. -- Please advise… Thanks, Hello,

I'm sure we all have experienced a challening condition or circumstance that has disabled our ability to excell, overcome, and stay faith-filled. We have to learn to first spit upon those crippling events in our lives, and boldly as we stay in God's presence with pray and praise, until we can break through.
