At MatGloCo Ministries we've accomplished a great deal in the eight years that we have obediently honored the call to provide encouragement, information, and support to our friends and visitors.
But so much more must be done. To continue our work, we need help -- urgently from the people who care about sharing and embracing the Word Of God --- people, I hope, like you who are willing to support us in this struggle.
Think about it. Then think about using our PayPal Donation link and giving the largest financial contribution that you can.

You don't have to give until it hurts --- just give until it feels good.

Your contribution will help us expand our resources and do a far more extensive job of sharing the Word Of God with our online friends and visitors.

A Prayer For Those In Trouble

God, You stand with us in times present; You carry us through many hardships; You shield us from danger over and over again.Thank You, thank You for allowing us to lay our needs before You now.We are asking for Your help, Father, we are perplexed and afraid. We do not know which way to turn.You, Holy Spirit, helps us in our weaknesses. You search our hearts and answer our petitions that we bring before You even when we do not know what to pray. God, we seek the courage to face all situations before us. We ask for wisdom to see the way that is right and the strength and courage to take that way. Lord grant us the strength to endure. We know that You will not allow us to be defeated; we know that we can be victorious through You. We pray that the peace that surpasses all understanding will guard our hearts and minds. Through Christ we pray. Amen.

I just ran across a lot of information about "religious discrimination". Now I feel inspired to do a Blog on this stuff, so for the next however long it takes, this is what this page is going to be about. This information is backed up by some pretty impressive references to documents from various government departments, so we can assume that it is for real.
Talks about Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Seems that this 'Act' prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals because of their religion. That means whether they (employers) are hiring, firing or whatever.
Title VII covers employers with 15 or more employees, including state and local goverments.
Oh yeah, and it also applies (ha, ha, ha) to employment agencies and to labor organizations as well as the feds.
So, what am I saying here?
Simply this. As an employee, you can't be forced to participate--or not participate---in a religious acitvity.
Deep huh.
There's more. I'm out of time. Bye for now.

And You Thought You Had It Bad?

Joshua 24:13
13. And I have given you a land for which you did not labour, and cities which you built not, and you dwell in them; of the vineyards and olive yards which you planted not, do you eat.
Duet. 6:10-11
10. And it shall be, when the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land which He sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which you built not,
11. and houses full of good things, which you filled not, and wells dug, which you digged not, vineyard and olive trees, which you planted not...

I think it's time we gave some serious thought to the phrase, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you." Truly God is a generous and loving god who has my and your best interest at heart. Let's give Him the praise and all of the glory. In the name of Jesus.

PRAYER

Matt. 5:1,2
1.) Now when He (Jesus) saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain side and sat down. His disciples cam to Him.

2.) And He began to teach them, saying:
Matt 6:5 "But when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men.

Matt 6:6 When you pray, go into your room, and pray to your Father, who is unseen.
Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Matt 6:7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.

Matt. 6:8 Do not be like them (pagans), for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

Matt. 6:9-14
9.) This is how you should pray:
"Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name,

10.) Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

11.) Give us today our daily bread.

12.) Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13.) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever.

Amen.

14.) For if you forgive men when they sin against you, Your Heavenly Father will also forgive you.

T'was The Night Before Christ mas

It was the night before Christmas and all over the world, mankind knowingly and unknowingly awaited the birth of the Savior who would be the namesake for the most important event to ever occur, Christmas.
The birth of Jesus was the most ochestrated event that has ever happened.
A virgin was chosen by God to be Jesus' mother.
A man named Joseph was chosen to be his earthly father.
The name Jesus was given to Joseph by an angel.
Jesus was predestined to "save His people from their sins."
Roughly 760 years before His birth, the prophet Isaiah prophesized the birth of Jesus and identified Him as Immanuel (God with us).
Isaiah even foretold Jesus' diet and His disposition.
Following the miraculous birth of Jesus, the world system moved into high gear in an attempt to destroy Him.
King Herod tried to kill Him through infant genocide.
Satan, the devil, tried to destroy Jesus through temptation.
The disciples of John the Baptist who had served as messengers
announcing the coming of Jesus questioned His choice of company and
the lack of orthodoxed conformity of His disciples because they did not fast.
The birth of Jesus introduced much into the world that had never
existed before. The world became blessed with:
An immaculate conception; Satan appearing and being defeated; devine
healing; Beatitudes; preaching; disciples; missionary work; parables;
death, burial, and resurrection; and of course, salvation.
T'was the night before Christmas, the last night that the world would
live in hopeless sin.

Amen.
