It was an evening of concert of Praise & Worship to our Lord God Almighty.

Also met some people from Westview Church as well as the Snowdon Baptist Church.

This pastor is a champ!

David Bird, Pastor of the Regina First Nations Alliance Church, and his team won the First Nations equivalent of the Briar on the weekend.

David and his team are the excited and proud winners of the National Aboriginal Curling Championship 2007.

Hoisting the trophy, David and his team of Winifred Bird, Gerald Bird and Bill Desnomie went undefeated, taking on aboriginal teams from across Canada. “In the Aboriginal world this is like winning the Briar,” David says, “we get our names on the cup and everything!”

So, he says, “Regina First Nations Alliance Church is now the home of the 2007 National Aboriginal Curling Championship. I’ll probably put that on a sign somewhere.”

Why does God answer prayer?

Tozer Daily Devotional

April: Prayer

To pray successfully is the first lesson the preacher must learn if he is to preach fruitfully; yet prayer is the hardest thing he will ever be called upon to do and, being human, it is the one act he will be tempted to do less frequently than any other.

God Tells the Man Who Cares, 69.

Prayer: If God Answers Prayer

So I said: "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts." --Isaiah 6:5

Why does God answer prayer? Let's not imagine that it's because somebody was good. We Protestants think we don't believe in saints, but we do. We canonize them: we have Saint George Mueller, Saint C.H. Spurgeon, Saint D.L. Moody and Saint A.B. Simpson. We get the idea that God answered prayer for them because they were really good. They would deny that fervently if they were here.

Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds that he deserved it. Having fallen, man deserves only punishment and death. So if God answers prayer it's because God is good. From His goodness, His lovingkindness, His good-natured benevolence, God does it! That's the source of everything. The Attributes of God, pp. 46-47

"Thank You, God, that You are indeed good, You are faithful, You are gracious, You are full of lovingkindness and benevolence. Thank You that You do in fact answer prayer! Amen."
