Happy New Year Fellow Operators

Yes another year has come and gone, it seems as though they go by quicker each year. Maybe it’s just because I’m getting older, well in any case with this New Year comes new beginnings.  2007 can and will be an awesome year for many of you.  There are many victories to be won and ministries to be started.  Specialized Teams that have struggled can be renewed this year through prayer and rededication to God and each other. Think of the possibilities if we all come together on one accord, the victories would be mountainous. Our families and loved ones can be drawn closed again in love.   

We are all aware of the tradition of making New Year’s resolutions, each year we pick something to pay more attention to.  We resolve to loose weight, quit arguing, eat healthier, take our vitamins etc. . .  All these are good things to pursue but consider the following. . .Click here to Read More

Christian Reflection Of The Month

The Priorities of Prayer Seeking God's will in prayer

by Pete Winn

Frontline leaders in the worldwide prayer movement say Christian success in political activism must begin with seeking God's will.

The Church in America at the start of the 21st century finds itself in the same situation Dorothy does in L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz," according to Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary Professor N. Allan Moseley.

You may recall the novel — or more likely the film: A tornado has thrown the house containing Dorothy and her faithful dog way up into the atmosphere, and it falls into a totally "different" place — the mythical Land of Oz. It's a reality that takes Dorothy awhile to understand, as evidenced by one of the more classic passages of literature — when at last she utters that unforgettable line that indicates she does, indeed, get it:

"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto."

Like Dorothy, Christians find themselves in the Land of Oz. We find that we live in a post-Christian culture.

"Christians need to realize that the world is not the Church, and they need to realize that the world's way of thinking is not the way that the Church is designed to think," Moseley told CitizenLink.

Our real problem, however, isn't — to return to the "Wizard of Oz" analogy — the fact that the "Wicked Witch of the West" and her awful flying monkeys are after us. They are, of course. There are people and groups who would love to see Christians and the influence of Christ disappear from the planet. But after all, Moseley says, the first century Church was persecuted and martyred, yet it still managed to grow and prosper.

Our problem isn't even that we're in Oz, or that we have strange "traveling companions" we didn't expect, or that we tend to get sidetracked along the "Yellow Brick Road" — all of which are metaphors for challenges Christians face. The real problem, according to Moseley, author of "Thinking Against the Grain: the Biblical Worldview and Culture," is that we're tempted to forget that this world isn't our real home, and it is easy to settle for life here, in the glittering-but-fake "Emerald City."

A Commander's Prayer

Wisdom to lead

"Father you have called me to lead men in a world that is unforgiving and where I am the one that other will look to for answers when things go wrong. I will be the one that my men will look to in combat. I will be the one who will make the decision to send my men into harms way.
The responsibilities that I have been entrusted with, few can understand or even comprehend. I ask you for strength in my daily duties that are both seen and unseen.

Your word says that to whom much is given much will be required and that if we ask for wisdom you would give it abundantly and freely. As my men will draw to me may I draw closer to you. I ask you to fill me with abundance of wisdom and courage to lead daily. May I have the courage to be a righteous man and a man of integrity. Help me to lead with fairness, integrity and most of all with humility.

Help me to remember that I am not here for me, but for my men and my department. Bless me with the strength, wisdom and courage to lead my team into inmate combat situation with great victory as you blessed David and his men to great victories. Father I ask for favor both in inmate combat situations and with my administration as I prepare my team for battles that will be fought behind these walls.

I ask now that you would make me into the Commander that you have called by name."
