Lukewarm & Loving It

Sermon by Francis Chan of Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, CA from October 1, 2006.

My Soul Yearns For the Courts of the Lord

The nations reject the law of God and throw off restraint, but I rejoice that this world is not my home. How I long to live under the reign of the Righteous King! Come quickly Lord Jesus!

Psalm 84 (NIV)

1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
O LORD Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you. Selah
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.
8 Hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty;
listen to me, O God of Jacob. Selah
9 Look upon our shield, O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.
10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.
12 O LORD Almighty,
blessed is the man who trusts in you.

Last Minute Ads Reveal Truth About Obama's Tax and Social Security Plans

This morning on FOX News, political strategist Dick Morris said that anyone wanting to help in a last minute effort to inform voters in swing states of Obama's views on taxes and social security among other issues should consider making a donation to the National Republican Trust PAC at http://nationalrepublicantrust.com/ . The PAC will be airing television ads in crucial swing state areas in these last few days before the election, and every dollar given will help inform voters of Obama's radical views. The ads can be viewed at the website. Please consider making a donation and passing this information on to your friends.

Dick Morris Praises National Republican Trust PAC

One of the nation's leading political strategists, Dick Morris,has praised the National Republican Trust PAC.

Morris says: "The National Republican Trust is a very effective organization that can make a huge difference on election day."

Dick Morris, a columnist, bestselling author, and Fox News analyst, has been widely recognized for his help to Bill Clinton in his comeback victory in the 1996 election. Later, Morris became a fierce critic of the Clintons.

Today, he warns that Barack Obama will be a dangerous pick come election day. Morris says Obama's plan to raise taxes will push the country from recession to depression.

"We are pleased that someone as respected as Dick Morris values our group and strategy," Scott Wheeler, executive director of the National Republican Trust PAC said.

The National Republican Trust PAC was created to inform Americans of the truth about Barack Obama and to keep America true to its foundations: a nation that values free enterprise, a strong national defense and moral values.
