When I tried to use it the other day the signal was low and when someone did answer on the other end, I would quickly lose them. Then I remembered! I forgot to re-charge the battery. At least once a day, sometimes more, I need to plug my cell phone into the power source and re-charge it. Otherwise, it becomes weaker and weaker and eventually useless. My spiritual power comes from God. It\u2019s how I do what I do. The Bible says, \u201cAs your days, so shall your strength be\u201d (Deut. 33:25). If I try to go too long without a spiritual re-charge, I become weak, powerless, and eventually useless. Slow me down Lord, at least long enough to re-charge, lest I become powerless in my ministry and useless to You.<\/p>\n<p>Join me today in remembering the following global concerns;<br \/>\n\u2022 Continue to pray for the nine Seminary students who are with me in the Urban Evangelism Practicum this week in Vancouver, Canada.<br \/>\n\u2022 Pray for workers in Russia who are having a team meeting this Friday on Skype to discuss their master strategy plan.<br \/>\n\u2022 Pray for Joe as he makes his way back to Kiev.<br \/>\n\u2022 Pray for the launch of the 4\/40 window across Korea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before it becomes obsolete, let me say that my cell phone is a lot like the Christian life.
