American Church in Crisis
Rick Joyner
I've been told the same word for "crisis" in Chinese is also the same word for "opportunity." That may best describe the period we are entering-both crisis and opportunity.









One of the most remarkable verses in the Bible is Revelation 3:20, where we see the Lord standing outside the doors of His own church, knocking to see if anyone will hear Him and open to Him. During this age He won't enter where He isn't wanted, even in His own church. For the last few decades America has basically asked the Lord to leave every public place. In our public schools you can now use the f-word without impunity, but if you say the name of Christ (except as a curse), you can be expelled. The meltdown of American citizens' basic character has occurred, and studies show that in basic morality and integrity you can no longer distinguish between Christians and non-Christians. Without revival or another Great Awakening, America will not likely survive this decade as either a great nation or a free nation.

Moms bless us 365 days a year. Why not go out of your way to make your mom feel special this Mother’s Day. Here are some unique, inexpensive and easy ways to reflect God’s love to your mother this season.

Goody Basket
Make mom a goody basket. Fill the basket with small items you know your mother will love.

De-stress-her 
Treat mom to a massage at a classy spa or a nice relaxing night at a hotel in town.

Use Snail Mail for Once
With the advent of e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, IM and Skype, it's becoming less likely to receive a personal letter in your mailbox. Send mom a nice note expressing how much you love and appreciate her.

Nostalgia
Grab old family photos of mom and make her an album or a scrapbook.

Give Life
Start a flower garden or vegetable garden for mom. Make sure you know whether mom would want the responsibility of maintaining it.
