Pray!

Let's join in together pray for this prayer request that I received. Thank you!

There is a boy of nine here in Israel who has been diagnosed with an aggressive cancer around his heart. It was discovered because he had a persistent cough that would not go away. Every major medical center -- including top flight places in the US -- that has had its doctors review the pictures (MRI, whatever), has said that it is inoperable. They will not touch it.

The prognosis is so grim that the mother has made a decision to decline chemotherapy, so that he should not be made totally miserable in his last weeks or months.

There is, then, nothing but prayer. And I ask it of each of you, and that you put out the word as extensively as possible. Miracles do happen, and we cannot turn our back to that possibility.

Pray for NOAM JAY BEN INBAR.

Coffee = Christian Crank

Ok, so today was the official last day (by the grace of God of course) that I will ever drink another cup of coffee. This was a hard one for me (and it took a while), before God brought me around to repentance. I drank very consistently for the last 6 years. I enjoyed grinding and picking up a fresh roast of Kenya AA, sometimes right out of the local roaster. I remember twice for sure that I felt like my heart was trying to jump out of my chest on that particular brew.

At that time, I really didn't see anything wrong with it. However, over the last several years, I started to notice that I would go out of my way to get it, almost craving it like an illegal drug. Once I tried to quit "cold turkey" and I remember getting headaches over the course of day 2 and 3 that eventually caused me to almost vomit in the car. We just so happened to be passing a Starbucks so I ran in and picked up a cup. My problem went away almost immediately. There is also apparently a lot of history to caffeine, possibly going back to the book of Job in the Bible. For those of you that drink coffee, you may want to seriously ask God if it's right for you. If you are a drinker and want to stop, here is what I recommend. Gradually take it down to one cup a day for a month or less; make up your mind not to go past that one cup. At the end of that month, start skipping days and then after a week go and throw your favorite cup away along with your brew machine and any coffee that you have. Once you have done that, go to the Lord and ask Him to give you the strength to move on. God bless!

NOTE***DAY 2 - Ok, even with these weaning recommendations, I am experiencing a lack of focus, blurriness and severe back stiffness and pain. Something to think about.

NOTE***Day 8 or 9? - I'm not sure of the exact day since I quit, but I can honestly say that I have more energy and I feel great.

The Psalm of the Addict

A while back I ran into two guys that were out in a parking lot selling baked bread to raise money for Victory Life Men's Home out of Dallas, Texas. I didn't buy anything, but I had the chance to talk to one of the guys and I must say it was riveting. You could tell that he had been through a lot! But, because of Christ's love, he had a peace, joy and new life about him that was very unusual. It's amazing what Christ can do for anyone. He left me with this flyer that had this Psalm on it. I immediately related because, I too used to be a drug addict. This one is about heroin.

The Psalm of the Addict

 

An unknown heroin addict lost in the dream world of heroin, wrote the following:

"King Heroin is my shepherd, I shall always want.

He maketh me to lie down in the gutters.

He leadeth me besides the trouble waters.

He destroyeth my soul. He leadeth me in

the paths of wickedness for his name sake.

Yea I shall walk through the valley of poverty, 

I will fear all evil; for thou Heroin art with me;

the needle and the capsule try to comfort me.

Thou strippest my Table of Dignity in the presence 

of my family. Thou robbest my head of reason.

My cup of sorrow runneth over.

Surely Heroin addiction shall stalk me all the days of my life:

And I will dwell in the House of the Damned forever!"

If you find yourself in this situation, or know someone who is, there is always hope while you are still alive. Cry out to Jesus and when he sends help, GO! Don't put it off. I know plenty of people that were not as fortunate as me. They just ran out of time! Don't put it off another day. Get help. If you need prayer, email me at coryenderby@gmail.com. Either my wife or I will pray for you. On the flyer, there was also a number listed to their 24 hour HOTLINE. The number is:  214-826-4404. If you are calling outside of the US dial 001-1*-214-826-4404.

Blessings!

Tribal "Into The Wild"

Tribal is an Australian band that I discovered a while back and I really like their sound. They remind me of the secular band Incubus a little, with a bright, energetic vibe. Another cool thing is it looks like they are having so much fun when they play together. They are releasing a new album soon and I am really looking forward to it.


Check out the video below to their song "Into The Wild".

You can also find them on their website   ThisIsTribal.

War of Ages "Return To Life"

War Of Ages just released their fifth album "Return To Life". As usual, awesome album art by Dave Quiggle who has done all their album covers thus far. You can pick up a hard copy of this album on Facedown or go by your local Hastings, Best Buy or FYE. And you can also go to Itunes or Amazon Mp3 and download the album online.

If you would like to try and hear some of these new songs live, then catch them on tour.

Go HERE and see if they are coming to a city near you!
