One of them is Doug Stringer of Somebody Cares, Intl. I went with Pstor Ruby Dobso and Dorothy Sundas and the Clarks from Brownsville. Doug was the speaker all day Saturday. Using testimonies and some scripture Doug talked about availability, one of the three identities I will mention here. At the end of Doug's talk, one thing was clear. Doug is available to the Lord and Doug is available to people. His life is one story af...READ MORE by clicking on the title above.

A Celtic Maxim In the days of the American Revolution, the Continental Congress, and the founding fathers, there came a surge of resolve and a demand on God and faith that transcended history. They learned what they never had, like liberty, freedom of religion, even self-government. They resolved to buy it with words, sacrifice and blood. They did not say, "Please, May we...:" They de...READ MORE by clicking on the title above.

We all have generations who came before us who have known times when being a good neighbor was as important as being a good citizen. Doing good was more natural and it was not selfish or self-centered. Recovering that kind of culture is within our reach as we become a more God conscious community. It is under way already. It is not perfect yet, but there is a response and it is in the halls of comm...READ MORE by clicking on the title above. Sat, 07 Jan 2012 15:01:01 -0600http://www.tapcc.com/blog.php?blogID=1594 The USA is not an empire and its leadership style is not imperial. President Obama ignored established protocol when he set in place three new members of the National Labor Relations Board, the way a selfish, imperial ruler might do. So I call upon the Local and National Newspaper Editorial Boards and the media at large to do the responsible reporting and editorial education so that we, the public, may be informed of the ramifications of this unconstitutional act of President Obama.

Jesus said we'd face fear And anger toward those dear, Unless by the Spirit we're led. Our prayers are for you And certainly for us, too, That we will look up to the Lord; For He is our peace, Protection, and [not least] Will strengthen us in our accord. I join Bob in offering this prayer and greeting towards you and yours. Love alive, Willia...READ MORE by clicking on the title above. Sun, 01 Jan 2012 14:21:01 -0600http://www.tapcc.com/blog.php?blogID=1545 Jeremiah 33 reveals a way to have perspective on the coming days of our lives as God's People of Promise. Verse 3 is very familiar to many of us; "Call unto me and I will answer thee and show you great and mighty things which you do not know." What follows in the chapter are clues about what to watch for. The things it says to watch for have been seen in the Promised People before, in the former generations. Here are four “now” things about Israel, or the People of the Promise...READ MORE by clicking on the title above. Sun, 18 Sep 2011 15:07:01 -0500http://www.tapcc.com/blog.php?blogID=1167 Two scriptures come to mind in preparing this devotional. Isaiah 58:13 speaks to those whose love and whose fasts reflect The Father’s own ways saying, “Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls. Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.” (NIV) Another verse like it follows a familiar messianic passage picking up at Isaiah 61:3 & 4: “and provide for those who grieve in Zion (w...READ MORE by clicking on the title above. Mon, 12 Sep 2011 06:55:01 -0500http://www.tapcc.com/blog.php?blogID=1132 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour. Matthew 25:13 NIV You may recognize this quote whifh fome from the end of the story of the ten virgins, 5 wise and 5 foolish. It is a waiting story. Waiting is one of the essential reflexes for faithful followers of Jesus to perfect. We have a God given instinct for waiting just as we do for believing God, trusting God, following God and for loving God and his Bride. Waiting is not completely perfected in this life bu...READ MORE by clicking on the title above. Wed, 31 Aug 2011 23:14:01 -0500http://www.tapcc.com/blog.php?blogID=1075 As humans we have at least five senses; sight,taste, smell, hearing and touch. If you count nalance we may have six senses. For most (but certainly not all) these senses work without training, prompting, or attention. The five senses can be augmented by training, prompting and intentional application. They work together symbiotically (interdependently). If one fails the others compensate and work together in a hyper mode. The senses work autonomically and serve to coo...READ MORE by clicking on the title above. Wed, 31 Aug 2011 10:11:01 -0500http://www.tapcc.com/blog.php?blogID=1067 Proverbs 13:20 He who walks with the wise will become wise. He who walks with fools will come to harm. Interpretted to be relevant to my walk with The Father and Jesus, this means that I will welcome the wise. Upon reflection more relevance derives from recognition that God has populated my life with wise people. Forming vital, relevant fellowship with them will affect a life exchange where I learn to recognize, adopt and apply wisdom as they have before me. It is not simply that I w...READ MORE by clicking on the title above.
