'Did
you know that millions of
Christians worldwide do not have a Bible'
and the shortage continues to intensify. Of the 13000 known
people groups,
about 8000 do not have a visible Christian Church.

Science
Leaves Men Redundant
CHICAGO:
Two lesbians could have a baby which shares both their genes, thanks to the
creation of “artificial sperm” by US researchers. Scientists at the Reproductive
Genetics Institute in Chicago have devised a way to create the “sperm” from
any cell in a woman’s body. It can then be used to fertilize another woman’s
egg.
It is already being tested on human eggs and could be available in 18 months.

The Truth Is Always Better
"It is better to be divided by truth than to be united
in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than
falsehood that comforts and then kills. Let me tell you something, friend,
it is not love and it is not friendship if we fail to declare the whole counsel
of God. It is better to be hated for telling the truth, than to be loved for
telling a lie. It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power
for God who did not have enemies and was not hated. It's better to stand alone
with the truth, than to be wrong with a multitude. It is better to ultimately
succeed with the truth than to temporarily succeed with a lie.
10
Things About The Poor
1. The poor know they are in urgent
need of redemption.
2. The poor know not only their dependence on God and on powerful people but
also their interdependence with one another.
3. The poor rest their security not on things but on people.
4. The poor have no exaggerated sense of their own importance, and no exaggerated
need of privacy.
5. The poor expect little from competition and much from cooperation.
6. The poor can distinguish between necessities and luxuries.
7. The poor can wait, because they have acquired a kind of dogged patience
born of acknowledged dependence:
8. The fears of the poor are more realistic and less exaggerated; because
they already know that one can survive great suffering and want.
9. When the poor, have the Gospel preached to them, it sounds like good news
and not like a threat or a scolding.
10. The poor can respond to the call of the Gospel with a certain abandonment
and uncomplicated totality because they have so little to lose and are ready
for anything.
In summary, through no choice of
their own—they may urgently wish otherwise—poor people find themselves in
a posture that befits the grace of God. In their state of neediness, dependence,
and dissatisfaction with life, they may welcome God’s gift of love.
