Inspiration: I used to work with youth on retreat weekends and they would talk about peer pressures of sex, drugs, alcohol, and dressing to fit in and be accepted. A girl in our group shared a story with us. She said one day her high school teacher was discussing of sex education and asked the students about sex. This girl stood up in front of the whole class and said “Sex is only for marriage so keep yourself a virgin.” She was ridiculed by some students; however, this girl was really used by God.

Inspiration: On a mission trip, one of the local church leaders spoke of the tribulation they went through in a war. This church leader had a vision of all his village being killed. He told everyone to pray. The enemy came three times to attack the village but Jesus protected them each time. The church leader said on one of the attacks, God confused the enemy so that, although they did land right on their shores, the enemy said to each other, “This is not the correct place..” and left.

Inspiration: A software developer I worked with was a great example of God’s light in the business world. She was born in China and came to school in America. Christians on the school campus shared Jesus with her and she committed her life to Jesus. After graduating and coming to work at our firm, she was willing to share how she was raised as a Confucian, and later became a Christian. She was gentle and kind in her words, always thinking of others and remembering their birthdays.

Inspiration: When I first got saved, I was convicted by God that I said many things that were displeasing to Him. Not only did I participate in dirty jokes but I used to be very sarcastic. I also was very judgmental and critical of others. God showed me that I needed to ask His Holy Spirit to help make me more holy as I couldn’t fix these problem areas in my life by myself.

Inspiration: Stock market crashes and terrorist attacks can have a major impact on the wealth of the rich. This scripture clearly teaches people not to trust in riches but in God. One Bible teacher talks about investments. Instead of talking to people about a 10% gain in stock or a 20% gain in property, he asks them to consider investing in the Kingdom of God which has eternal pay backs. The rich need to remember that strong minds and strong families are gifts from God. A rich person becomes a tremendous blessing to God when they use their resources to bring the gospel and a Bible to every person in the world to learn of Christ.

Inspiration: An atheist saw a model of the sun and the planets on the professor’s desk and said to the professor: “That is an amazing replica of our solar system. Who made it?” The professor said “No one.” The atheist said “Come on, that model is so good, I want to know who made it?” The professor said “You believe that someone made this tiny model but you cannot believe God made our solar system in which we live.” This example can help all of us remember that God is the creator of all life. Some people get into confusion about how old the earth is but the bottom line is, that does not matter. God made it.

Inspiration: At the time of writing this calendar, I bowed down and knelt before the Lord, asking God to give me words to help set people’s faith on fire, for them to get a vision of the purpose for their lives, and by prayer would become ambassadors for Christ. Worship is the source of my strength for it helps stir up my passion for Jesus, and for the love of God to spill out of me onto others, and the lost.

Inspiration: At Bible College, we learned not to judge the teachers by their preaching style (loud or soft) or by their clothes (dreary or fancy) or by their mannerisms (flamboyant or non-emotional) but to judge the words that they say. So often people are prejudiced against others to the point that they switch them off before they hear what they have to say. Most Christians feel their church is the best since it is what they are accustomed to.

Inspiration: An engineer and his wife who are also evangelists, shared that God gives them names and facts about people they have never met when they pray. One time while they were at a gas station, God told them some facts about another customer that was filling his tank at that gas station. They walked up to the man and said: “Are you so and so?” “Yes” answered the man obviously puzzled. They went on to tell him some facts about his life. The man saw that God must be talking to him through this couple so he responded to God and asked Jesus into his life as the couple prayed with him to dedicate his life to God.

Inspiration: A youth group gave our leader an offering of $500 cash in a sealed envelope but never told him how much it was. When building a church in Mexico, our leader was short of some materials so he went to the big city to buy them. The seller said the materials would cost about $500. Our leader had forgotten his wallet but did have the youth offering. He took out the sealed envelope and said: “This should cover it!” not knowing how much was inside. The vendor counted the money and it just covered the cost. He taught us not to waiver in faith or it could cost you. His common expression was “If you doubt, you will do without!”

Inspiration: “Will there ever be world peace?” was a question that came up at our dinner table and a guest answered: “How can one have peace if one doesn’t have Jesus, the Prince of Peace in one’s heart.” My guest had a good point. Not only is world evangelism needed, but personal peace in one’s own heart needs to be emphasized. We all need to pray for each country’s ambassadors that they will become Christians and promote peace among the nations.
