<div><span style="font-size: small;">Welcome to the Crossroads corner of the evangelical world.&nbsp;Season&rsquo;s Greetings !!</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">As 2011 nears its end, you maybe one of a number of long-time believers who have lost their spiritual passion. If so, indeed please know that you are not alone. The ravages of our downward spiraling, </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">culture is taking a terrific toll on the Body of Christ.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">This web site functions with a single purpose: to provide other earnest, struggling believers with genuine spiritual encouragement. It is an often-unspoken truth: any of us can find ourselves caught up with all-consuming &ldquo;busyness&rdquo;or, we can be suddenly enveloped by a seemingly hopeless struggle. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Whatever it is that impedes our experiential faith-life, we need help.&nbsp;And &#8230;&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center; line-height: 150%;" align="center"><b><span style="color: red; line-height: 150%; font-size: 16pt;">There is Good News, better said, <i>WONDERFUL NEWS!!!</i></span></b></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 60%;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="line-height: 60%;">Please read on:</span></b></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 60%;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">As we face a season that should be one of fulfilling spiritual celebration, many faithful, longtime believers are not joy-full. Nancy and I write these words because we are talking frequently with others who are experiencing such a mind set.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">From several years of sharing the &ldquo;spiritual intimacy&rdquo; message, we have watched the Loving God bring honest, struggling believers to an entirely new sense of joy and peace .<br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">&nbsp;</div>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"></p>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><b><i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</i><span style="font-size: large;"><i> If you are hungry for a&nbsp;deeper spiritual<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; intimacy; </i></span></b></div>
<p></span></p>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you want, more than anything else, a genuine<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; faith-relationship&nbsp;with&nbsp;Jesus Christ; If you are <br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; seeking &ldquo;fellow travelers&rdquo; &#8230; you have found&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;those of&nbsp;like precious faith&quot;!!</p>
<p></i></b></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">As you read this update, please know that there is a new, nearly silent, but profound work of&nbsp;the&nbsp;Spirit traveling throughout America. Many highly respected authors, preachers, and teachers have sharpened their focus and are making this faith-igniting work known. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Believers of every &ldquo;tribe and nation &ldquo; are discovering a life-changing encounter.&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you sense that your spirit is responding to a brand new desire, i.e., a new yearning, for a fresh faith-reality - we urge you to be open to what Jesus Christ may be doing in you. The Lord may well be bringing you to a new place spiritually. It is often when we reach a point of near desperation that the Lord breaks through in a new way.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Please be reminded of truths that you have known for years: <b><i>You</i> </b>are personally loved by the Creator God.&nbsp;Above all else, <b><i>He desires to have an intimate faith-relationship with you. </i></b>He wants you to know <b><i>Him</i></b> as the indwelling One who is ever present and wanting you to enjoy His Presence.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Nancy and I consider ourselves still beginners on this magnificent faith journey, but our intimacy with Jesus Christ continues to rekindle our lives.&nbsp;And we are blessed every time we get the opportunity to share our lives with anyone who connects with us.&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Please send us a note. We&rsquo;d love to hear from you, and you will hear from us.&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">May His Presence flood you with joy during this festive season !!&nbsp;</p>
<p></span><strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: small;">&quot;I have told you this so that my joy may ne<br />
in you and that your joy may be complete,&quot;<br />
John 15:11</span></span></strong></div>

If&nbsp;you share that passion and are interested in finding other fellow-travelers, please contact us .</p>
<p>If you are just surfing the internet and are looking for life-in-Christ material .. then hang out on this site for a while. It contains some&nbsp;of our own material, but it also has a number of very good web articles and&nbsp;links to other helpful sites.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin: 4.95pt 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Jesus said, &quot;&hellip;. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.&quot; (NAS)</i></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 4.95pt 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">The most common phrase we frequentlyhear&nbsp; is &quot;I just know! There has to be more &hellip; but I have seen SO MUCH that is not real !</p>
<p></span><span style="font-size: small;">Many believers who contact us&nbsp;have been Christians for a long time but are now wanting a deeper, more consistent&nbsp;experiential life in Jesus Christ. <br />
</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">After reading these articles it is helpful to read the section &quot;Intro to Christ in you&quot;.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">May your sense of His Presence increase within you as you&nbsp;grow deeper in love with Him. </p>
