Introducing the new MyAnythingChristian BETA website! I've been working on it for a couple weeks now and it's already becoming something great. I want to share all the new things going on with all of you. We've got TV and Movies, Live Chat, better profiles and much, much more in the works. Of course, I'm always up to suggestions for new things to add to the site, so I encourage you to visit the forums on the beta site and let me know what you think of the changes and anything that you want to see on the new site.
Nothing less than the fullness of God's glory, if this is the hearts cry of these men of days gone by, how much more in this day and time is it the necessity of the Church and God's ministers today. E.M. Bounds and men of God who allowed the work of the cross to so devastate their lives that there was no hope of recovery of to a carnal Christian experience. Has the message of the Cross of Calvary and the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed so permeated our being that God himself becomes our very life and breathe through the power of the resurrection, the very glory of God on our behalf.
2 Corinthians 8:21
“Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.”
Many plants give ants special protection and in return, the ants protect these plants from other insects. In itself, this widespread arrangement offers evidence of design. However, sometimes these arrangements are even more complex than they at first appear.
A small tree that grows in the central Amazon of Brazil, called the Hirtella, offers small ants shelter in tiny pouches that form in pairs at the base of young leaves. Scientists prevented the ants from reaching some of the branches of a tree and noted that those branches lost about half of their new foliage to other insects. It appeared that the ants were keeping other pests off the new growth in return for shelter. However, scientists also found that the branches that had no ants also had eight times as many flowers as those branches the ants could reach. Apparently, the ants do a good job at protecting new growth, but once flowers begin to form the ants become the pests. The Hirtella doesn’t ignore this. Once the new foliage is established and it is time to flower, the leaves drop the ant shelters so that the ants have to find somewhere else to call home.
This elegant defense arrangement is clear testimony not only to God’s design, but also His provision for a complex creation with a vast array of creatures.
Prayer:
Father, surround me with honest people, and help me to be honest so that my life reflects what I have in Christ. Amen.
