Barack Obama's chances of making a fresh start in US relations with the
Muslim world, and the Middle East in particular, appear to diminish
with each new wave of Israeli attacks on Palestinian targets in Gaza.
That seems hardly fair, given the president-elect does not take office
until January 20. But foreign wars don't wait for Washington
inaugurations.

could be such — whatever it was.

Inspirations The
Encouraging Word for this Week The
Prayer Motivator for this Week PRAYER
QUOTE: "Is the
Son of God praying in me, or am I dictating to Him?....Prayer is not
simply getting things from God, that is a most initial form of prayer;
prayer is getting into perfect communion with God. If the Son of God is
formed in us by regeneration, He will press forward in front of our
common sense and change our attitude to the things about which we
pray." --Oswald Chambers The
Soul-Winning Motivator for this Week SOUL-WINNING
QUOTE: "It is of no use for any of you to try to be soul-winners if you
are not bearing fruit in your own lives. How can you serve the Lord
with your lips if you do not serve Him with your lives.? How can you
preach His gospel with your tongues, when with hands, feet, and heart
you are preaching the devil’s gospel, and setting up an
antichrist by your practical unholiness?"

The
Word
of God for this Week
"And,
behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man
according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the end, the first and the last."
--Revelation 22:12-13
"The
root of all difficulties is a lack of the sense of the Presence of
God." --Emmett Fox
MOTIVATING VERSE: "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that
the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my
name, I will do it." --John 14:13-14
"Not by works of
righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved
us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost" -- Titus 3:5
In
the early nineteenth century, African Americans were involved in the
“Second Awakening”. They met in camp meetings and sang
without any hymnbook. Spontaneous songs were composed on the spot. They
were called “spiritual songs” and the term
“sperichil” (spiritual) appeared for the first time in the
book “Slave Songs of The United States” (by Allen, Ware,
Garrison, 1867). Read
