Excerpt:

         "The path of the righteous is level;
      O upright One, you make the way of the righteous smooth.
      Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you;
          your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.
      My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my
                       spirit longs for you.
    When your judgments come upon the earth, the people
     of the world learn righteousness."
                  Isaiah 26:7-9 (NIV)

                 Reading these verses while praying recently, I realized that they are
    directly connected to the theme of revival and to the opening of doors for which
    we have long been praying.  We have been asking the Lord for revival for New
    York City, as well as for our nation.  We are asking for revival, not just because
    it would be marvelous to see God move again with power from on high, but
    because we desperately need “times of refreshing…from the Lord.” (Acts 3:19)

    Excerpt:

          "I was thinking about the verse from the Psalms that says,
    'Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and
    breakers have swept over me.'  (Psalm 42:7)  It is all too easy for
    us to dwell on the surface of things.  Even as believers, we can miss
    so much by not entering into a deeper understanding of what is going
    on around us, especially when suffering or sorrow are involved.  In
    John 11, when Martha came up to Jesus to tell Him, 'Lord, the one
    you love is sick,' what she said was accurate.  Jesus greatly loved
    Lazarus.    

          Jesus responded to Martha, 'This sickness will not end in death.  
    No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.'  
    Though Jesus knew exactly what God was going to do in this
    circumstance, He did not spare himself.  He entered fully into the
    sorrow of Mary and Martha, and of the Jews who were also grieving
    at the death of Lazarus.  One of the loveliest and shortest verses in
    the Bible appears later in chapter 11.  'When Jesus saw her weeping
    and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was
    deeply moved in spirit and troubled.  ‘Where have you laid him?’ he
    asked.  ‘Come and see, Lord,’ they replied.  Jesus wept.'

    Excerpt:

           "Academia and the media usually view Darwin’s theory of
    evolution as a fact, a concept so thoroughly established as to be
    beyond serious challenge.  Yet when Dr. Wayne Detmer, a good
    friend who is now working in inner city medicine in Chicago, attended
    his Introductory Biology class at Yale, the professor asked the
    students: “How many people here believe that God created man?”  
    Just a few hands went up, six or so, out of about 150.  The professor
    then said, “I have to admit that it takes as much faith to believe in
    evolution as it does to believe that God created man.  

           That professor is not alone in having doubts..."

    Excerpt:

              "The Bible tells us of many miracles: the blind receiving their
    sight, the lame walking, and even the dead rising again to life.  But
    the greatest of all miracles is forgiveness, the free and complete
    pardon of an undeserving sinner by a righteous and holy God.  As
    Psalm 32 says, 'Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven,
    whose sins are covered.'  

            Why is forgiveness such a marvelous gift?  Consider for a
    moment that guilt is the most common symptom psychologists deal
    with in their patients today.  Guilt is the inescapable weight that
    oppresses our consciences when we do something wrong.  We try
    to deny what we have done, or attempt to deceive ourselves and
    others with excuses..."

    Excerpt:

             "We live in a generation that prides itself on personal
    preferences and choices.  We believe what we want to believe,
    and reject those things that do not fit our personal viewpoint.  This
    is especially true when it comes to matters of religion.  We hold
    today to a bewildering array of religious beliefs.  Some of us can
    even be quite religious about our refusal to believe in God!  On
    his deathbed in 1882, Charles Darwin spoke regretfully of what his
    contemporaries had done with his ideas and speculations on the
    origins of life: 'To my astonishment the ideas took like wild-fire.  
    People made a religion of them.'  

           We pride ourselves on being more intelligent, more
    sophisticated, and more informed about what we believe than
    previous generations.  We even promote critical thinking in our
    schools, yet one has to wonder how critical our thinking really is!  
    The fact is that we are not very different from earlier cultures,
    including the ancient Greeks.  As has been true throughout
    human history, ignorance and arrogance all too often walk
    hand in hand..."

    Excerpt:

            "The role of the evangelist is critical to the building up of the
    Body of Christ.  And, regardless of what some may claim in our day,
    the need for evangelists will never end until Christ returns.  The
    apostle, the prophet, the pastor, and the teacher all have differing
    callings, but every role is ordained of God and is critical to the
    building up of the church.  As is clear from the life of Paul, an
    apostle is intended by God to have far-seeing vision both for the
    church and for a lost world.  By contrast, those whom God calls to
    pastor and teach His flock must focus chiefly on those who are
    already among the redeemed.  If  the entire leadership of the Body
    is made up only of those genuinely called by God to be pastors (or
    elders) and teachers, the church’s vision to reach the lost will be far
    more circumscribed than God intends.  

          As Abraham called his servant Eliezer to go out and find a bride
    for his son, Isaac, so we evangelists are called to search out a Bride
    for Christ among those who are now far away from God’s Kingdom.  
    Searching out gems for Jesus among multitudes of lost, contentious,
    unpromising, and even depraved souls is hard work, but it is work
    that is ordained by God!  Consider again Jesus’ words in John 15:16,
    'You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you
    should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain…'”

    Excerpt from the Introduction by Jaan Vaino: (Mr. Vaino
    describing a lecture at Columbia University given by his freshmen
    year astronomy professor…)

    “He derived from one end of the blackboard to the other the
    famous equation that summarizes Einstein’s General Theory of
    Relativity, .  And for one brief shining minute, we understood it!  We
    understood it!  We were impressed, more with ourselves than with
    him.  And the drama of the moment was not lost on our eminent
    professor.  He strode to the edge of his platform, and he told us the
    one thing that he said he wanted us to remember, and here is what
    he said.  He said, ‘You will never be a free person until and unless
    you decide never to worship anyone or anything.’  

    Breathtaking!  Breathtaking!  No one raised a voice in objection to
    what he said, but I can tell you if Einstein was in the room, he’d have
    called that man down, because Einstein did not believe what our
    professor told us.  Does science have to be like this, exalting a
    man’s mind to pull God out of heaven?  Is that science?  Chris White
    is going to tell you that science does not have to be that way, nor
    has it been that way.  The world has known giants who have owned
    God as the creator of the universe, who have built science and
    science education on a foundation of faith…”
