I sincerely apologize for the amount of prayer requests that are going out today. I can only ask your forgiveness. I have not been well and am behind on getting the prayer requests out in a timely manner. ===============================

ENCOURAGERS FOR THE LORD

Encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. - 1 Thessalonians 5:11

============================

Psalm 138:2
I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.


===========================

THOUGHTS ON TODAY'S VERSE

===========================

For Christians, God's temple is one of two related things: either the Christian's body (1 Cor. 6:19-20) or the group of people who make up his Church (1 Cor. 3:16). Because of the flaws of the people in our churches, many are hypercritical of them. But God's Church is precious to him and should be to us. Anyone who destroys his church through division will be utterly destroyed. God's faithfulness to his people is seen in his preservation of the Church through all the ravages and persecutions of history. But God is still the center of the Church and he alone is to be exalted and the Church is still to be governed by his word and not just their own will.

JULY PRAYER REQUESTS FOR JAPAN

====================================

We grieve with God over the arrest of a Christian man for using illegal drugs. We rejoice with God that even in these difficult circumstances He has drawn yet another young lady to Him through the witness of the Christians in the area. Pray with us that Y will be obedient to Christ and grow quickly in her new Christian faith. Pray also that God will do whatever is necessary to produce a righteous lifestyle in the man who has been arrested. (New Fields)
