Going
One-on-One
by Tom Gilbert © 2003
If you find good mentors in life you
eventually discover that wisdom passed on to you includes
a responsibility
for you to pass it on, too. It is the ongoing chain that
connects us and keeps us flourishing.
Have you consciously entered into a mentoring relationship? Whether conscious
or not of how one person helps another in this intimate way, we all have probably
been touched by it. Guides, sponsors, teachers, spiritual directors or gurus;
they have many names, but the commonality is a relationship that invests and
shares in your development. You grow as you apply the lessons. The mentor, too,
benefits, not just from being the benefactor, but in continued growing and learning
from the student. It is the great economy of spirituality. In God’s world
nothing is wasted.

Male Spirituality
What is "Men's work"? How
do men come to a real understanding and appreciation
of their spirituality in today's world? Furthermore,
can men discover a way that leads other men to true spiritual
growth?
These questions are top of mind to many men these days. The work being done in
this area is extremely important, especially in today's society. The previous
way of mentoring and initiation has been lost to our culture for a thousand years.
Male spirituality and mentoring continue to be in the “spotlight” through
the end of the month.
Consider also the impact mentoring has on young people. We have some special
books on this featured right now.

| WHAT'S
NEW & COMING SOON |

Many people hit the road during the summer months for
vacation and traveling. Others are on the road
as a regular part of their ministry. In July
we will find out more about those traveling this
path, and we don't mean just those big stadium
crusades
or tent revivals. Plus we look at how keeping
a journal is a great
way
to enhance and monitor your spiritual growth.

DAILY THOUGHTS & REFLECTIONS |
|
When
I Say I Am A Christian
Author: Carol Wimmer
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I was lost!"
That is why I chose this way."
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need someone to be my guide.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and pray for strength to carry on.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are too visible
but God believes I'm worth it.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I seek His name.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.

Prayer works. It really does. Only those who've never truly tried
it with the proper intentions would say otherwise. We
want to pray for you and your needs. If you have a specific
request let us know at prayer requests.
Of course, we keep you information confidential.
We also like to share testimonies of answered prayers
at prayer results.
You can send us your testimony by email. Use our form

you do not want your name to be listed simply let us know.
