Peanut Gallery: Love the split screen….

Biltrix's avatarBiltrix

There’s so much we could comment on after last night’s circus act; sorry… I mean Vice Presidential debate. I’m referring, of course, to the travesty on the left side of the screen aimed at distracting America from the serious discussion that took place on the right side of the screen.

One of my friends found a simple but elegant way to keep his focus on the debate (no duct tape necesary):

Please pray for Syrian believers – Day 2

Peanut Gallery: This week I am praying for Syrian believers. I encourage you to pray for them with me, and/or to select another country or people group of your own for which to pray. Information on other countries for which to pray is available here.

Day 2: Please pray for Christian unity among the various denominational sects in the midst of Syria’s civil war strife.

Jesus’ prayer for unity:

“I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.

“I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one.  John 17:20-22 NLT

Christians have historically represented approximately 10% of the Syrian population with the majority population made up of 74% Sunni Muslims and the remainder scattered among various Shia Muslim sects. (Wikipedia)

Christians in Syria make up about 10% of the population.[1] The country’s largest Christian denomination is an Eastern Orthodox Church of Antioch(officially known as the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East),[2][3][4] closely followed by a Uniate[5] Melkite Greek Catholic Church, and then by an Oriental Syriac Orthodox Church; there are also a minority of Protestants. The city of Aleppo is believed to have the largest number of Christians in Syria. (Wikipedia)

Please join me in prayer 

  • For peace in the country and an end to the bloodshed. For God’s rich mercies on the suffering people.
  • For the safety and protection of the churches, keeping the church’s faithful witness.
  • Wisdom and vision for church leaders.
  • For the glory of the living God to dwell in the Church.
  • To empower the Church to reach out to the suffering, to share the divine cure of the gospel, and to speak the word of the Lord in all boldness.
  • That the evil powers of darkness will be defeated in our land.
  • That the values of false religion will be exposed for what they are and despised and rejected by many.
  • For many souls to come to know the love and forgiveness of Christ and to enjoy His saving grace.
  • That the Lord would send wise, God-fearing counselors to the decision-makers in all parties in the country.

With love… from Syria.

Morning Reading: John 20.11-18 NLT

Mary was standing outside the tomb crying, and as she wept, she stooped and looked in. She saw two white-robed angels, one sitting at the head and the other at the foot of the place where the body of Jesus had been lying. “Dear woman, why are you crying?” the angels asked her.

“Because they have taken away my Lord,” she replied, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”

She turned to leave and saw someone standing there. It was Jesus, but she didn’t recognize him. “Dear woman, why are you crying?” Jesus asked her. “Who are you looking for?”

She thought he was the gardener. “Sir,” she said, “if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and get him.”

“Mary!” Jesus said.

She turned to him and cried out, “Rabboni!” (which is Hebrew for “Teacher”).

“Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

Mary Magdalene found the disciples and told them, “I have seen the Lord!” Then she gave them his message.

John 20.11-18 NLT
