Fellowship Prayer Points


Amid political uncertainty, and even as Israel suffers from the latest rocket attacks from Gaza, we still have so much to thank God for. This week, let's remember to be grateful that He provides us guidance through prayer and scripture. And we also ask that He continues to care for us while we do the work of His hands.
  • It is certainly a time of political change, as Egypt just elected a Muslim Brotherhood-backed president. Despite our apprehensions–especially with concern for Egypt, Israel, and the U.S.–let us call on the Lord for His guidance and His will. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5).
  • Give thanks to the Lord for the gift of the Torah. Pray that God helps us all to live justly by His Word. "Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD" (Deuteronomy 8:3).
  • Pray for the citizens in Syria who live in fear of the government, and who continue to suffer from the effects of the current civil war. "The LORD gives strength to His people; the LORD blesses His people with peace" (Psalm 29:11).
  • Give thanks for all those involved in The Fellowship and its programs. Our partners are doing great work for God! "It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect" (2 Samuel 22:33).
  • Please pray for the work of The Fellowship around the world. Ask that God guide our two great faiths as we work together. "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom" (Ecclesiastes 9:10).
  • God bless you!
  • Amen!

The Danger in Being a Christian: It began as a Jewish sect; fierce persecution only helped it spread

Acts 8 Acts 8:1 On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. In some countries, a person who becomes a Christian forfeits a good education and job. And in a few countries, a person who converts risks his or her life. One church historian estimates that more Christians were martyred in the twentieth century than in all preceding centuries put together. Yet, strangely, more often than not, intense persecution of Christians leads to a spurt of growth in the church. An ancient saying expresses this phenomenon: “The blood of martyrs is the seed of the church.” The First Big Advance For a while, the new faith enjoyed popular favor. But very soon it involved grave risk. In the book of Acts, the persecution that produced the first Christian martyr, Stephen, ironically brought about the advance of Christianity outside its Jewish base. Forced out of stormy Jerusalem, the scatterin...

In His Eyes

July 23, 2012 Mary Southerland Today's Truth I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be ( Psalm 139:14-15 , NIV). Friend to Friend It was my first day of teaching second grade. While standing at the classroom door, greeting parents and children, I felt a tug on my skirt. I looked down into the beautiful blue eyes of Sammy, one of my new students.  His mother, who was standing beside Sammy, looked at me and said, "I guess you've heard about Sammy.  Good luck!" As she walked away, Sammy said, "She's right. I'm dumb and mean and can't read or write."  Lisa was a tall, blonde and beautiful young woman with zero self-confidence. Lisa was...

La amistad: Ayuda para la santidad

Leer | JUAN 15.12-15 20 de julio de 2012 Cuando Dios creó todo, solo una cosa no tuvo su aprobación. Miró a Adán, quien era el único ser en su clase, y dijo: “No es bueno que el hombre esté solo” (Gn 2.18). El Señor creó a las personas para que tuvieran compañerismo emocional, mental y físico, de modo que pudieran compartir su ser más íntimo unas con otras. Jesús explicó esto a sus discípulos, diciéndoles que debían amarse unos a otros tal como Él los había amado. En una amistad que honra a Dios, dos personas se edifican mutuamente y se animan una a otra a tener un carácter como el de Cristo. Sin embargo, muchas no logran entablar y mantener relaciones que estimulen su fe (Pr 27.17). Lo que hacen es hablar trivialidades propias de simples conocidos: el clima y los asuntos mundiales. Lamentablemente, también los creyentes rehúyen la conversación profunda en cuanto al pecado, la conducta transparente y la vida de acuerdo con los parámetros bíblicos, que servirían para enriquecer ...
