May 6 is America's 59th Annual National Day of Prayer

“Prayer is the most powerful resource we have in this life. May we as followers of Christ and citizens of the United States humble ourselves before the only One who blessed the prayers of our forefathers and showered this land with greatness ... May God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, be once again exalted in our halls of government, in our sanctuaries of worship, and in human hearts that need His healing touch. Join me in prayer for America on Thursday, May 6, 2010 for the National Day of Prayer” —Franklin Graham President and CEO of BGEA and Samaritan’s Purse The National Day of Prayer was signed into law as a national observance in 1952 by President Harry Truman. Since then, Americans from multiple backgrounds have been overcoming differences to join together and pray for our nation. This year, as the 59th observance is marked on May 6, Franklin Graham will join Shirley Dobson, National Day of Prayer Chairman, in Washington, D.C. to urge people all over the United S...

Believe In Miracles But Trust In Jesus!

The late Dr Adrian Rogers, preacher/teacher of Love Worth Finding Ministries, wrote this article that I want to share to all Behind Crossroads readers. I hope you will find it inspiring. Be blessed. "If you believe the Bible, you know that God is a miracle-working God. And God is not limited in any degree nor any respect. He is totally sovereign. So, we can believe in miracles, but don't put your faith in miracles. Put your faith and your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. Let's look at the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand as recorded in John 6. Great multitudes were following Jesus at that time, but why? John 6:2 gives us the answer, "And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His miracles which He did on them that were diseased." People do that today, do they not? Now I want you to see three things about moving beyond miracles and on to Jesus. There Is No Problem Too Big For Jesus To Solve Do you have a problem today? Read Joh...

The Bible in Every Tongue: A 'God-Sized' Mission

She's from Ohio and he's from Alabama, but together they now call Uganda home. There, they are developing a written language for a remote African tribe. Their efforts are part of a project to translate the Bible into the last remaining languages on earth.  Since 2008, the Schrocks have lived among the Ik people. There are about 10,000 Ik tribe members and they live close to the Kenyan border. Amber is a nurse. When they arrived in the village, she found a woman with pain in her waist. "We have clinic on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.," she said. "I've been seeing 75 to 100 people a week." Terrill is a linguist. "My personal style of language learning is just spending a lot of time surrounded by it," he explained. The Ik have always had an oral culture. But thanks to Terrill and his team, the tribe will soon have something they've never had before -- a written language. The husband and wife work for Wycliffe...

Sexual Abuse Scandal: Roman Catholic Pope Benedict Resisted Defrocking Abusive Priest

The Associated Press Youtube Channel filed this clip revealing a letter bearing the signature of the future pope showing then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger resisted defrocking a California priest with a record of sexually molesting children after his case had languished four years at the Vatican. A MSNBC News Article written by Associated Press GILLIAN FLACCUS has a similar report stating:  " the future Pope Benedict XVI resisted pleas to defrock a California priest with a record of sexually molesting children, citing concerns including "the good of the universal church," according to a 1985 letter bearing his signature. The correspondence, obtained by The Associated Press, is the strongest challenge yet to the Vatican's insistence that Benedict played no role in blocking the removal of pedophile priests during his years as head of the Catholic Church's doctrinal watchdog office. The letter, signed by then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, was typed in Latin and ...

Lee Strobel: The Atheist Turned Christian

Lee Strobel, author of the " The Case for Christ " (pictured on the right), was educated at the University of Missouri (Bachelor of Journalism degree, 1974) and Yale Law School (Master of Studies in Law degree, 1979). He was a professional journalist for 14 years at The Chicago Tribune and other newspapers, winning Illinois' top honors for investigative reporting (which he shared with a team he led) and public service journalism from United Press International. He is a former atheist lawyer/investigative reporter who realized he had to investigate the claims of Christianity, not just blindly accept what he happened to be taught. After almost 2 years of intense investigation, he concluded that the evidence overwhelmingly supported the claims of Christianity.

The Message of Easter : Hosanna! by Paul Baloche

"Hosanna" (Greek transcription: ὡσαννά, hōsanna) is the cry of praise or adoration shouted in recognition of the Messiahship of Jesus on his entry into Jerusalem, Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! It is used in the same way in Christian praise. It is a cry for salvation; while at the same time is a declaration of praise.(1) As we celebrate the greatest holiday here on Earth, Easter or the Resurrection Dayof our Lord, Jesus Christ, let us be reminded of His promise. Jesus said: "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die." John 11:25-26. (NIV) Video by bauckman , youtube The Story of Easter is found in Matthew 28:1-10. "After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the ...

Easter: The Greatest News Ever Heard

"The greatest news that mortal ear has ever heard is the news that Jesus Christ has risen from the dead as He promised! The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the chief proof of the Christian faith. It is the truth that lies at the very foundation of the Gospel. Other doctrines of the Christian faith may be important, but the resurrection is essential. Without a belief in the resurrection there can be no personal salvation. The Bible says, “If we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved” (Cf. Romans 10:9). In the resurrection of Jesus Christ we have the answer to the great question of the ages: “If mortals die, can they live again?” The Bible teaches that because Christ lives, we also shall live. The greatest truth that you can ever hear is that Jesus Christ died but rose again, and that you, too, will die but can rise again into newness of life. The Bible teaches the bodily resurrection of Jesus Chr...

Hillsong - At The Cross (Video & Lyrics)

Easter is fast approaching and to celebrate this wonderful event, I will be featuring praise and worship songs that highlights the significance of Easter in our lives. What is Easter? It is the celebration of Christ's Resurrection ("rise to life again") from the Dead after being crucified. ( 1 ) The New Testament teaches that the resurrection of Jesus, which Easter celebrates, is a foundation of the Christian faith. The resurrection established Jesus as the powerful Son of God and is cited as proof that God will judge the world in righteousness. God has given Christians "a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead". Christians, through faith in the working of God are spiritually resurrected with Jesus so that they may walk in a new way of life.( 2 ) Celebrate Easter with this worship song At The Cross  by Hillsong Church, Sydney, Australia.
