                    [042]  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – CHRIST IN ME AND I IN HIM
I meant this to be a personal, yet touching poem.  The title – Christ in me and I in Him” can be taken as a one-way dialogue between two people, the Lord and me.  I am sharing with my Saviour the thoughts in my mind.  (A personal chat).

                    Teen Girls: Despite MySpace, chatting on IM or surfing iTunes, 12- to-14-year-old girls are still most deeply motivated by TV. 65% say they’re influenced by a TV show or network, and are more likely to multi-task. More than half report regularly instant-messaging; about two-thirds read and write

                    [116].  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – HAVING A CHAT WITH GOD
There is nothing pretentious here.  It is a simple prayer mixed with thoughts of the Lord.  This poem is a meditation, one that I hope you can relate to in your life.
Some make prayer a sanctimonious affair and it is about as dead as a

                    The ultimately lost person is the person who cannot want God. Who cannot want God to be God. Multitudes of such people pass by every day, and pass into eternity. The reason they do not find God is that they do not want him or, at least, do not want him to be

                    Selfishness is a personal thing.  This is the self-contained life lived without Christ.  That’s the attitude that hears a sermon and thinks, Wow, the preacher really told ‘em that time!
