Echoes From the Campfire

January 30, 2018

"If civilization was to endure, those who believed in it must be prepared to strike back at the dark forces that would destroy it."

--Louis L'Amour (The Cherokee Trail)

"Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness?"

--2 Corinthians 6:14 (NLT)

---------------------

"Reality does not play mind games. What is more, if the mind is…

"The storm might last for several days. He leaned back and stretched his legs under the table. The coffee was strong, black, and hot."

--Louis L'Amour (The Riders of High Rock)

"“I worked for you through the scorching heat of the day and through cold and sleepless nights."

--Genesis 31:40 (NLT)

------------------------

"Why do you run and hide from life, to try it just ain't smart

Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart."

--Hank…

"But the way must be long, and as there were the thorns and rocks for his feet, so must there be bruises to his spirit."

--Zane Grey (Wanderer of the Wasteland)

"But if you fail to drive out the people who live in the land, those who remain will be like splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will harass you in the land where you live."

--Proverbs 33:55 (NLT)

"Any nation at any time--however spiritually alive--is always potentially…

Wishing all our ICCAN family a very Joyful and peaceful Christmas Season.

Echoes From the Campfire

December 11, 2017

"[He] decided that he would never ignore Christmas again, and not just the date on the calendar."

--C.J. Petit (The Second Star)

"All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’)."

--Isaiah 7:14 (NLT)

"Then I blew out the candles, one by one, until…

From Mike & Barbara and all of us at Mike Vaughn Ministries I want to Wish all our ICCAN friends and family a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving holiday!!!

JUST THINKING..."Due Season"...David writes in the Bible.."I trust in You, O Lord; I say, 'You are my God.' My times are in Your hand." I interpret that to mean to me that I must enjoy every day and trust Him for tomorrow. blessings, jan

Our greatest progress comes from our greatest pain; so the Lord doesn't save us from it but strengthens us in it. It's when we pass God's test that He fills us with His joy. Remember pain is inevitable....misery is optional! Blessings! jan

In late 2014 Cross Timbers Cowboy Church closed in Butler, IL and I took a job as pastor of a small Baptist Church in Virginia, IL. The church had been losing members for years as it had a pretty shonky reputation and the members decided to close it down, leave the SBC and sell the church and parsonage back in April. The 5 remaining members decided to still meet in the parsonage with me as the pastor and last week I talked them into not selling the church or parsonage to an outsider but to…

A tourist taking pictures asked the cowboy, "How come your dog has such a short nose ?"The cowboy replied, "He chases parked cars!"

In Luke 5:4 Jesus said to Peter, “Launch out into the deep [water] and let down your nets for a catch.” This is a message for us today as we look toward the year of 2017. If you plan to travel the path of the Status Quo then you likely will never break any new barriers or reach new goals in 2017. Just to live your life following the crowd and never be willing to leave your Safety Zone will translate into failure. Sometimes, we are like Peter who fished throughout the night, but caught no…

I am coordinating the Gospel Singing for the Italian Festival in McAlester, Oklahoma at the Southeast Expo.  It will be on May 14th, Mother's Day. I know this is not a good time, but there will be lots of people there and they are looking for something to bring people in on the last day.  They have a meal scheduled for noon and usually they sell out within a few hours, but this year they are hoping to have enough food for them to be able to go on longer.  But I need at least 4 groups or…

He came in such a way that fulfilled so much...

Walked in a way that taught so much...

Died in a way that provided so much...

Rose in a way that conquered so…

This year of 2016 has truly been one to remember. Our presidential election was like no other in my lifetime. We must now pray for our new president and leaders believing they will honor God and bring back the godly principles this nation was built upon. However, no other person has ever touched the world in quite the way Jesus did. The Gift of all gifts, Jesus is truly the Unspeakable Gift sent by God the Father. He came as a babe in a manger but will return as King of Kings and Lord of…
