What are you listening for?
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
An Indian was walking in downtown New York City alongside a resident friend. As they approached a busy street corner in the center of Manhattan, the Indian seized his friend's arm and whispered, "Wait. I hear a cricket." "Come on!", the city boy sneered, "This is downtown New York -- how could you possibly hear a cricket?" His friend persisted however, "No - seriously, I do!"
As cars were roaring, horns honking, people shouting, brakes screeching, cash registers clanging, subway clamoring and people bustling about, the Indian began leading his friend along slowly, every now and again stopping and turning his ear toward the seemingly noiseless sound. At last, the Indian insisted they were near and proceeded to follow the sound across the street and toward a small dark corner next to a graffiti covered wall. There, he bent down to a miniscule tuft of grass and pulled out the cricket. "I told, you", he said, "I heard a cricket."
Astounded, the New Yorker marveled "How could you have heard that cricket in the middle of all this noise?" "Well", said his foreign friend, "My ears are different from yours. It simply depends on what you're listening to. Here, let me show you what I mean." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of change --a couple of quarters, three or four nickels, and a dime and a few pennies. "Now," he said, "watch this." He held the coins waist high and dropped them to the sidewalk. At once, every head within nearly a block turned around and looked in the direction of the Indian.
"You see, It all depends on what you're listening to."
To what sounds are our ears trained to listen? Are they trained to hear the sound of money, of gossip, of complaining, of worldly things or are they trained to hear the still small voice of the Most High, directing and advising us in the way we should go?

Help keep them warm
The weather here today has taken a definite turn for the colder. With that, we need to remember the less fortunate in our communities, especially in the northern states where winter months can be brutal. With that, let's all go through our closets and dresser drawers to find the clothes we no longer need or wear. This winter will see more homeless in our country than ever before. Lets be Christ like and help take care of the less fortunate. Contact your local mission and find out ways you can help... and don't forget the warm clothes.
May God bless and keep you always,
Tim

Invisible People
I wanted to share an amazing website with you. It's called In "Invisible People". Founder Mark Horvath is doing an amazing job bringing the flight of the homeless to the forefront. The numbers Mark presents are staggering, but what is worse is that these numbers are only going to get worse... allot worse.

Please take a moment and browse their website. maybe post the sites information in your Facebook, Myspace or Twitter pages.
Thank you and God bless,

Our plans
"I believe the Western church is generally in the same condition as Martha. You know the truths about God’s Word in your head, but you still like to run your own lives. Like Martha, many Christians cry out, “Lord, if you had just done things according to our plans, we would never have ended up in such a mess.”
Friend, you need to realize that God is not at all interested in your plans. He is only interested in His plans! So many churches and individual believers think they should make their own plans and strategies, then ask God to bless them.
The almighty God is not our servant! He does not do what we tell Him to do.Many Christians need to climb down from the throne they have built for themselves, fall on their faces before God and do whatever the Master tells them to do."

Warrior
I am a warrior in the army of God. The Lord Jesus Christ is my Commanding Officer. The Holy Bible is my code of conduct. Faith, Prayer, and the Word are my weapons of Warfare. I have been taught by the Holy Spirit, trained by experience, tried by adversity, and tested by fire. I am a volunteer in this army, and I am enlisted for eternity. I will either retire in this Army or die in this Army; but, I will not get out, sell out, be talked out, or pushed out. I am faithful, reliable, capable, and dependable. If my God needs me, I am there. I am a warrior. I am not a baby. I do not need to be pampered, petted, primed up, pumped up, picked up, or pepped up. I am a warrior. No one has to call me, remind me, write me, visit me, entice me, or lure me. I am a warrior. I am not a wimp. I am in place, saluting my King, obeying His orders, praising His name, and building His kingdom! No one has to send me flowers, gifts, food, cards, candy, or give me handouts. I do not need to be cuddled, cradled, cared for, or catered to. I am committed. I cannot have my feelings hurt bad enough to turn me around. I cannot be discouraged enough to turn me aside. I cannot lose enough to cause me to quit. When Jesus called me into this Army, I had nothing. If I end up with nothing, I will still come out even. I will win. My God will supply all my needs. I am more than a conqueror. I will always triumph. I can do all things through Christ. Devils cannot defeat me. People cannot disillusion me. Weather cannot weary me. Sickness cannot stop me. Battles cannot beat me. Money cannot buy me. Governments cannot silence me, and hell cannot handle me! I am a warrior. Even death cannot destroy me. For when my Commander calls me from this battlefield, He will promote me to a captain. I am a warrior, in the Army; I’m marching, and claiming victory. I will not give up. I will not turn around. I am a warrior, marching Heaven bound. There are four kinds of soldiers: 1. Active Duty: Serving the Lord faithfully, daily, and on duty 24-7-365.2. Reserve Status: Serving only when called upon, or twice a year: Christmas and Easter.3. Guard Status: Backing up the Active Duty group.4. AWOL! Absent With Out the Lord. Which kind are you?

So true
“Friend, you cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. And what one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government can’t give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody. And when half of the people get the idea they don’t have to work because the other half’s going to take care of them, and when the other half get the idea it does no good to work because somebody’s going to get what I work for. That, dear friend, is about the end of any nation.” -Adrian Rogers

I normally try and stay away from criticizing how or what other pastors/teachers are preaching or teaching. But this week pastor Terry Jones has crossed the line. If you don't know, pastor Jones is planning on burning copies of the Quran, the Islamic holy book. Now it's bad enough that this man claims to be a Christian, but if he follows through with his promise he will be placing thousand of American lives in danger... he will be literally stirring up a hornets nest. The repercussions from this act of ignorance will go on for a long time... and lives are going to be lost.
Please know that this man in no way represents Jesus Christ and His church. Matthew 7:15,16 "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them."
God bless,
Tim

Important
Greetings all,
I wanted to take a moment and let everyone know that the donation links on our website (www.anchorholdsministries.org) is working now. I set it up through Google Checkout. I went with Google because for non-profit organizations they do not charge any fees to process credit cards. Also, Google is probably the most secure out of all the ones I researched.
As you know or may not know, we are taking donations to help get bibles to people who would otherwise not be able to own one. We have been working with a pastor Isaac in Kampala, Uganda. Pastor Isaac has such a wonderful heart, and he is a true servant of God. Pastor Isaac has planted several churches there in Uganda and that is where their main need is. The churches that he has planted are growing daily and they do not have the funds (remember, these people live on less than two dollars a day and less) to purchase the word of God for all the new believers.We have also been contacted by Pastor Canny O. Canice in Gbagada Lagos, Nigeriawho is experiencing the same growth and is in desperate need of bibles as well.
We can purchase bibles for about $2.00 each, so even a small donation will go a long way. The bible says in John 1:1 In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. The bible truly is the word of God... living, breathing, giving life to all who will open their heart. I have talked with Pastor Isaac on the phone, and I can't tell you what it would mean to the people there to have their own bibles.
So take some time to pray about this and see if this is something that the Lord would have you participate in. Anchor Holds ministries
makes all of its financials available up request.
Thank you for taking the time to read this posting. I know how busy everyone is and I truly appreciate it.
May God bless and keep you always,
Tim

Greetings,
Wow, this has been a very strange week. I really can't put my finger on it. It all started on Monday, we were crazy busy at work and I ended up working most of the day by myself. I worked from 6:30am till almost 7:30 at night. Tuesday I woke up feeling more tired than when I went to bed. With that, I've not felt myself all week really. I truly think its an attack from the dark side. I'm asking for your prayers concerning this attack. The enemy knows when I'm tired and weak that I'm more susceptible to sin. Please keep me in your prayers... I need all the help I can get.
I'll have a couple of good blogs to post over the weekend so check back soon.

Greetings,
I'm not a happy camper today. I woke up at 10:00am this morning. I feel like my heard is in a fog when I sleep in that many hours... and I also feel like I've slept half my day away and I hate that feeling as well. Oh well, must have needed it. So I'm sitting here with a cup of coffee trying to clear my head and get my thoughts straight for the day.
Yesterday was a good day. I got my website (www.anchorholdsministries.org) set up with the html code to accept donations through Google. I still have to verify a couple of things but I'm hoping by tomorrow evening we can start accepting donations. My pastor friend in Uganda is planning a big revival in a near by town in November and we'd like to get him some bibles to pass out before then. Every time we talk that is his biggest request are bibles. There is a bible outreach right there in Uganda that can supply the bibles for about $2.00 each. Isaac (the pastor) is expecting between 1500 and 2000 people there. Please if you can help him out... just $2.00 will by one bible and that one bible could make all the difference to one persons life who would never be able to own a bible any other way than by someones generosity.
It is such a blessing to talk with people who live on less than $2.00 a day. I know at times in our lives because we experience a little money problems that we feel we are broke (speaking to myself as well)... but we have know idea. They rely on God for everything! I have never seen faith before like I do in these people. They literally live on the Word of God. Another thing that will blow you away about them is how happy they are. They laugh with a laugh that comes from deep in their spirit.
Anyway, I've rattled on enough this morning. If you get the chance, pray about helping get some bibles into the hands of Word starving people. If you feel the Spirit wanting you to help, you can email me (tim@anchorholdsministries.org) or visit our website (www.anchorholdsministries.org). On our website you can visit the Ministries page and find out more about Pastor Isaac.
Thank you and may God bless and keep you always,
Tim
P.S. I'm working on starting up a monthly newsletter as well. I'll keep you posted about that as well.

Wrestling with God
Greetings,
Well I’m finally through! I can no longer do it… I can no longer wrestle with God. You see for years now I’ve been on the outside looking in. From the time I was 12 years of age when my friends and I would go see the movie Jesus Christ Superstar, I’ve known what my calling in life was, but thanks to the lie, I’ve followed through with my calling till now. I do have one huge sin that I have to confess to though. You see, for most of my life I have allowed Satan to convince me that I was not good enough to be a pastor/teacher. So I’ve always been on the outside looking in. Even though I know the truth, that Christ paid the price for my sins, I still felt the “not worthy” thing (I know... I know... none of us are worthy). But over the last couple of years, the tugging at my heart, the desires of my heart to serve God have all been magnified 100 times over. The best way to describe the last couple of years has been “I’ve been wrestling with God”. I’ll tell you what; you’ll truly know when you are wrestling with Him… I’ve never been so tired emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically. I had to surrender all, He will not stop, and He is relentless in His pursuit. God will never force you to do something, but He is sure to make His will known.
I already have a website (www.anchorholdsministries.org) from where I share things about Christ and what He expects from us. My site also helps promote other Christian sites and followers of Christ and the ministries they have. After some time of serious prayer I will start a small home bible study group. From there, that is all up to the Lord.
One of the reasons I have been so reluctant all these years is I didn’t think anyone would come to a church that I started. I’ve felt for years now that the true message Christ taught has been watered down. But there is a movement in the Spirit building and more and more people are hungry for the real truth. It is all coming together in God’s timeline.
Please keep me in your prayers and the direction God would have me go. May God bless and keep you always.

Interesting facts
6.7 billion people in the world, is that not crazy. To give you a better understanding of how the population breaks down picture the world’s population as just 100 people.
Out of 100 people:
60 would be Asian
14 would be African
12 would be European
8 would be Latin American
5 would be American or Canadian
1 would be South Pacific
51 would be male; 49 would be female
82 would be non-white; 18 white
67 would be non-Christian; 33 would be Christian
Now let’s take a look at the financial break down of the population.
Living on less than $2.00 a day… 2.6 billion people (40 percent of the population)
Living on less than $1.00 a day… 1 billion people (15 percent of the population)
Americans live on average $105.00 per day… 0.3 billion people (4.5 percent of the population).
Today we have approx 1,125 billionaires; they hold more than half of the world’s wealth. The chasm between the rich and the poor is bigger than ever. This has not always been the case. In 1820, the gap between the richest and poorest countries was about four to one. In 1913, it was eleven to one, and in 1950, it was thirty five to one. By 2002 that gap was at seventy five to one.
Sure makes you appreciate living in America. Also helps us see the need for more Christian intervention throughout the world. If you feel God’s calling in your life to help in some way, please do not hesitate in that calling. If you’re not sure where to start, may I suggest a great book to help point you in the right direction. It’s called “The Hole in our Gospel” by Richard Stearns. Mr. Stearns is the president and CEO of “World Vision”. He has had the chance to see the true suffering in our world firsthand. If you are serious about living out the message of Christ, this is a great place to start.
God bless,
Tim

Sat July 24th 2010
Greetings all,
Well made it through another week (Thank you Lord). Today is Saturday the 24th and it’s a really big day here in Utah. For those of you who don't know, the 24th here is called “Pioneer Days”. It all has to do with the pioneers who settled Utah, yes, they were Mormons. Pioneer Days is huge here, even bigger than like the 4th of July. If the 24th lands during the work week you get the day off... pretty crazy. Utahans are big into their history here and do all they can to make sure it’s not forgotten.
This week at work was ok. Started off really busy then died off. I think mainly due to the holiday. I have not been online much as a late. By the time I get home I’m pretty beat. Last week Facebook hit the 500 million user mark… how crazy is that? I’m glad Facebook is around though. It’s allowed me to get in contact with some long last family members and friends. Plus stay current with the latest news and developments. I’ve met some really wonderful people on there. I’ve become really good friends with a pastor from Uganda Africa. I’ve added some information about his ministry on my website (www.anchorholds.net) so if you get a chance check that out. He is a really awesome guy who loves serving the Lord. His contact information is there as well. They can always use an extra dollar or two. It really doesn’t take much, the exchange rate there to the dollar is 2,000. So a little goes a long way.
I received some disturbing news this last week. In fact it was from FB that I found out. A dear sweet young mother that we have known since she was about 10 posted that she was going through some tests for cancer. Soon as I get more information I’ll be posting that so we can get as many people as possible praying for her. We take life so for granted, and that is the wrong way to live for sure. Be sure and tell the ones you love how much they mean to you… the chance may never come again. I’ve lost a son, both parents and grandparents, and I can tell you the biggest regrets in my life are not telling them how much I loved them.
That’s all this time around. I try to keep these short, I know people’s attention spans have gotten shorter and shorter.
May God bless and keep you always,
Tim

Last week Facebook hit the 500 million user mark… how crazy is that? I’m glad Facebook is around though. It’s allowed me to get in contact with some long last family members and friends. Plus stay current with the latest news and developments. I’ve met some really wonderful people on there. I’ve become really good friends with a pastor from Uganda Africa. I’ve added some information about his ministry on my website (www.anchorholds.net) so if you get a chance check that out. He is a really awesome guy who loves serving the Lord. His contact information is there as well. They can always use an extra dollar or two. It really doesn’t take much, the exchange rate there to the dollar is 2,000. So a little goes a long way.
I received some disturbing news this last week. In fact it was from FB that I found out. A dear sweet young mother that we have known since she was about 10 posted that she was going through some tests for cancer. Soon as I get more information I’ll be posting that so we can get as many people as possible praying for her. We take life so for granted, and that is the wrong way to live for sure. Be sure and tell the ones you love how much they mean to you… the chance may never come again. I’ve lost a son, both parents and grandparents, and I can tell you the biggest regrets in my life are not telling them how much I loved them.
That’s all this time around. I try to keep these short, I know people’s attention spans have gotten shorter and shorter.
May God bless and keep you always,
Tim

Don't think to highly of yourself
"I had a prof one time... He said, 'Class, you will forget almost everything I will teach you in here, so please remember this: that God spoke to Balaam through his ass, and He has been speaking through asses ever since. So, if God should choose to speak through you, you need not think too highly of yourself."
