Attended the Nebraska Leadership Prayer Breakfast this morning in the hope of having the Holy Spirit come and blow His wind into our sails by encouraging and empowering us to chase harder after Christ, but about five minutes into the program
Hello fellow pilgrim,
Just a short note to ask you to pray for two opportunities this week;
Wednesday night (tomorrow) at 8pm I will be speaking to a group of 30-40 high school aged people in Dwight, NE. I will be addressing the issue of sexual purity. Please pray for clarity as I continue to develop what it is that the Lord has me to deliver. Please pray for the preparation of the soil that will meet the Living and Active Word, and pray for radical transformation. Pray that the Holy Spirit will come like rain on what I expect will be a lot of parched earth.
This Saturday, March 1 at 12 noon central time, FCA’s national radio program, Sharing The Victory will air a show on FM 88.5 that will counter the pervasive pornographized vision of sexuality so dominant in our culture. Back in December Ron Brown and I had a conversation about the issue, and portions of that interview will be featured, along with words of exhortation from others in the sporting world. There is obviously rampant licentiousness all over the place, and nowhere more so than in the entertainment industry of which athletics is a big part.
Please pray that the Lord would come with power on everything that is said, and that the hope for freedom from enslavement to sexual bondage would shine like a bright, irresistible and incinerating laser through everything that is said, and that those fighting the good fight would fight all the more vigorously and encouragingly, understanding more about what is at stake.
Thanks.
Marty

In the fall of 2007 I concluded that I had not been much of a husband to Sarah in that I was not relentless, but only sporadic in praying for her
The title of today’s musing comes from the a Jars of Clay song from the album Good Monsters,
Sin doesn’t let us see what is.
Was reading over some of Paul’s words last week from 1 Corinthians 6:15, 19, 2 Corinthians 13:5 and Colossians 1:27, and musing over the fact that the intimacy a Christian has with Jesus Christ is not to be a fractional intimacy (an oxymoron),
