So this thing will clean and fill your fish tank without ever making a mess. No more buckets and dirty water in the house. It has a pump you run in your sink that can both draw the water out and then when you adjust the water temp to your tank fill it back up.<br />

All your dirty water goes right down the drain. It has a nice gravel cleaner at the end and a shut off valve to stop water flow to move from tank to tank.<br />

Just look at how clean my tanks are!<br />

Thanks for sending me and supporting me in prayer.<br />
I was one of 7 pastors who taught through 1st and 2nd Thessalonians to a group of about 175 pastors from the mountains and hill country around Dharan Nepal. Investing into the lives of these brothers is strategic for the future of Nepal.<br />
We also sat in on a service at Calvary Chapel Dharan during both children's church and adult church. On our way home we squeezed in a visit to the Calvary Chapel Bible College at Kathmandu.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the photos of the trip...<br />

As part of my hobby patience is key to saving money. For instance watching Craigslist sales from people who don't want to continue in the hobby and sell their tanks and equipment well under the retail prices. But you might say, they are so dirty and have lime stains. Yes but that's where a little Vinegar and elbow grease (scrubbing) will make the dirty tank look brand new.<br />
<br />
For instance, check out my 30 Gallon I purchase on Craigslist for $40.00 along with 3 working pumps, a Whisper filter, bags of cichlid food, and a bunch of other supplies. It was covered in Lime stains as it was empty and kept in a garage. I have a Lime stained tank above and my Vinegar cleaned tank below...<br />

There are radical elements plotting against our brothers and sisters even as I write this blog post. This Christmas our Egyptian, Syrian, Lebanese, and other ethnic brothers and sisters are in real danger of being attacked during worship services.<br />
<br />
How should we in the Western Churches respond? First, we need to prayer for them (regularly). Also during our Christmas services we need to stand with them corporately in prayer. They need to know we care about them. They need to know we love them and hold their Faith in Christ as precious.<br />
<br />
Having been to Egypt visiting both Coptic and Evangelical churches, my heart longs to see their safety and freedom of worship. I desire for God's intervention to undo the work of these hate mongers who kill innocent people. I desire God to lift the blinders off those who attack Christians and think they are serving God.<br />
<br />
<b>Jesus, please protect your Church in the Middle East. Please use their sacrifice to bring light to their persecutors. Please bring the schemes of Satan through binded Moslems to nothing. Please open the eyes of those who are spiritually blinded and full of hateful resolve. Please save our spiritual family in the Middle East!</b>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307891051484760905.post-9543474025083590512013-12-07T17:24:00.001-08:002013-12-07T17:24:02.007-08:00Training In Titus<p dir="ltr">The Book of Titus was written by The Apostle to his young pastor/protégé that he left on the Island of Crete to get The Church back on the tracks of sound doctrine that reflects lives that demonstrate what we believe.</p>
<p dir="ltr">First Leaders who are qualified by their godly conduct.<br>
Then Older men who are influential by their self - control. <br>
And Older women who are influential by their investment in to lives of the next generation. <br>
Also Young men who are influential by the Gospel demonstrated in their daily lives. <br>
Finally Employees who are influential by being honest, hardworking, and loyal.<br>

Surely I, too, must be an accomplice in the crime! Sin murdered Christ; will you be a friend to it? Sin pierced the heart of the Incarnate God; can you love it?

Imagine with me spending a full day observing a preschool and the children during their daily activities there. And one of the students is a 30 year old man enrolled as one of the preschoolers? And each time the teacher asked a question the man gave the correct answer. And each time the teacher asked for cleanup time the man was the first to have his area cleaned. And at the end of the day you observe the 30 year old man is one of the best preschoolers. But you know in your heart there is a problem. A 30 year old man does not belong in preschool! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What an incredible experience it was for me when I became a disciple of Jesus almost 29 years ago. As a brand new baby Christian, to know I had been forgiven and given the privilege of becoming one of God's family. To learn of the wonderful love that God has for me as a child of God.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But if my relationship with Jesus was formed only from my understanding of my forgiveness and acceptance and never moved from that starting point to other important truths like stewardship, obedience, and service any keen observer would say there is a problem. He is still in Christian preschool after almost 29 years of discipleship.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 1st John 2:12-14 John illustrates three stages of Christian maturity with little children, young men, and fathers. And it appears the path from little children to fathers is the way of young men and having the Word Of God to strengthen us to overcome temptation. In other words, learning and applying God's Word for daily living. Jesus wants us to graduate from Christian Preschool to normal life long discipleship. See also Hebrews 5:12-6:3</div>

While I love technology and all that can be done with it, I believe our culture has lost something when anonymous people can say such hurtful things towards others they don't even know online. Recently Rick Warren's son took his life after years mental and emotional difficulty. Any normal American (and human being for that matter) should have compassion and sympathy for the entire Warren family. But instead we have this cultural war of Cyberhaters who do not understand a culture of respect and understanding that this country had years ago...It is shocking to me that at a time when a man has lost his son that political and cultural factions use this situation to chime in the same old rhetorical hate. Grow up America! We have our differences, but we need to remember we are all human and there is a standard for the human race....and Cyberhate is cowardly!<br />

While this can be helpful when in the water it can become a replacement when viewing waves from the shore or even on my computer screen. I begin to evaluate how others surf as I am standing on the sho<u>r</u>e or the comfort of my desk chair. <br />
This practice takes place in other sports as well. For example football fans who know how to run a football team from their couch instead of the turf. While all this Monday morning quarterbacking or mind surfing seems harmless, the same can take place in our walk with Jesus. Often I talk about sharing Christ with others but find the comfort of our culture an easy hiding place from actually doing it. Or I will encourage others to spend time in devotions but neglect my own time with Jesus. <br />
The turf may be difficult but I need to get off the couch and down onto the field. The water may be cold and the waves a bit big but I need to paddle out if I am going to do more than just mind surf. If I am going to participate in following Jesus I need to put my faith into action. In Philippians 2:12-13 we learn we are to WORK OUT WHAT GOD HAS WORKED IN US. <br />
Following Jesus is an exciting adventure if we are participating instead of spectating.<br />
