MY PRAYER FOR YOU [new 3/96]
http://www.patriot.net/users/bmcgin/prayer4you.html
"First Compassion, Then Action", is the title of Bill McGinnis' most recent prayer offered at this site. "It is intended to be a constant source of love, with a new prayer each day, written as poetry, typically blank verse. These are my prayers directed to the Lord for the benefit of the readers, rather than prayers for the readers to pray, themselves." Bill's prayersreflect on the quality of prayer in and through Christian life, and distinguish it as one of the Lord's unique provisions for life. We recommend that you visit this site, where daily prayer is brought up against the issues of life. You will be enlightened, comforted, encouraged, strengthened.

NO-DEBT LIVING NEWSLETTER [new 10/97]
http://www.nodebtnews.com/
Preparing Godly Stewards to Touch the World for Christ. No-Debt Living provides financial news with a Christian perspective with insights from folks like Larry Burkett, Ron Blue, Austin Pryor. The organization strives to challenge, encourage and inform its readers from both a financial and spiritual perspective. Their desire is to help raise up an army of Christian stewards who not only want to eliminate their debt, but who want to touch the world for Christ, through their skills and resources. The people at No-Debt Living are looking for (1) people who are tired of playing at Christianity, (2) people who want to live out the principles God provides in the Bible without compromise, so that they might share in the blessings He promises, and (3) people who want to reach and maintain freedom from debt, so that they might be able to say, like Isaiah, "Here I am Lord, use me." Or "here are the resources you have loaned me, how can I be of help?" They point out that a wise steward also tries to make maximum use of the resources God has loaned him or her. As a result, No-debt Living provide news and information on budgeting, shopping for food and clothing, insurance, banking, time management, health, stock investing and other issues. The difference is, we try to provide this information with a nondenominational, Biblical perspective. Information on site includes excerpts from No-Debt Living Newsletter (at the time of our survey general articles included: Leave a Map So They Don't Get Lost; and, Eight Strategies to Cut Your Food Costs by 45 Percent or More, by Robert E. Frank). NDLN provides a method to subscribe (readers can order a sample issue for a nominal fee.) At the time of our survey the Book Review Section included a substantial excerpt entitled Real Prosperity Biblical Principles of Material Possessions, by Gene A. Getz, and a Credit Cards section included complete articles: Four Guaranteed Strategies to Reduce or Eliminate Your Credit Card Debt; and, People in Debt Need to Uphold Good Name and Biblical Precepts. A Giving section included a complete article, entitled, Wesley Provides Powerful Model for Giving Joyfully to the Lord, by Larry Ruddell and Robert Frank. Two more articles in their Insurance section included: Protect Your Largest Asset -- Your Earning Power, by William J. Humber; and, Eleven Steps to Cutting Disability Insurance Costs, by William J. Humber. The Personal Finances section provides information on Miscellaneous Savings Can Lead You to $70,000. Another section, Work and Career, included full articles entitled: Women Returning to the Workplace, by Jeff Burg (an interview with Larry Burkett); and, Keys to Home-Based Business Success, by Jeff Berg. A No-Debt Investing is being developed as well. Finally, the organization provides a "Net Crusin" section, including more educational, financial, and general Christian locations around the internet. No-Debt Living is a fully equipped internet site with lots of solid information on line that provides a compelling argument to subscribe to the hard edition. We highly recommend visiting the web site, and subscribing to this excellent publication.
