Just in time...

Pollywog Creek is back online. Still under construction, I had to get back online in time to encourage everyone who cannot be in Washington D.C. tomorrow ( the 37th anniversary of the Roe vs Wade decision) to participate in the March for Life to join me in participating in a Virtual March for Life, along with dozens of leaders in politics and in the national prolife movement, such as Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee.

Just click on the banner above. (UPDATED - banner no longer available) I'd love to know if you will be joining me.

Something wonky....

Something wonky has happened to my template, so it must be time to redecorate. Some time over the next few days I'm going to take the blog down until I can clean it up and straighten it out. Don't go away. I will be back when I have the wonkiness figured out.

In just two hours a week....

Are the needs of the elderly, disabled or sick in your church, your neighborhood or your community being met? Do you know?

Do you have time? Do you care?

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

~ Matthew 25:31-46 (ESV)

Pastor Chris Brauns looks at Matthew 25 and Haiti. It's a MUST read for all of us.

Forget everything else...

From D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones: Our supreme need, our only need, is to know God, the living God, and the power of his might. We need nothing else. It is just that, the power of the living God, to know that the living God is among us and that nothing else matters. . . . I say, forget everything else. Forget everything else. We need to realize the presence of the living God amongst us. Let everything else be silent. This is no time for minor differences. We all need to know the touch of the power of the living God.
