CROSSWEEKSUNG, in New Jersey, October, 1745.

Preached to my people from John xiv. 1-6. The divine presence seemed to be in the assembly. Numbers were affected with divine truths, and it was a season of comfort to some in particular. - O what a difference is there between these and the Indians I had lately treated with upon Susquehannah! To be with those seemed like being banished from God, and all his people; to be with these, like being admitted into his family, and to the enjoyment of his divine presence! How great is the change lately made upon numbers of these Indians, who not many months ago were as thoughtless and averse to Christianity as those upon Susquehannah! and how astonishing is that grace which has made this change!

Thank you Rebecca for putting Brainerd's journal on the web. I have wanted to purchase it for a long time. Just a couple of thoughts after skimming through some of the entries. Brainerd emphasizes how the change in the Indians is due solely to an outpouring of God's grace connected with his preaching of the word. Not any special programs or worldly methodologies. Also, in one entry he laments the influence that nominal Christians have on the Indians. In this month's issue of Tabletalk, Alistair Begg writes an article about the influence of personal holiness on the effectiveness of John Owen's ministry. It seems this is especially needed today.

I thought the comment about the influence of the supposed Christians the native people had been in contact with interesting, too. We can't underestimate the effects of the way we live, can we?

Ah ha, then you will know if it is precognition of a very abrupt change in bio-rhythms from the sound of the alarm or if they stay sleeping until the end you know it was the circadian rhythm all along The megaliths and stelae or other Neolithic Libraries are the subject of serious investigation againWhat's more, most of the major manufacturers offer a variety of financing options In that moment, STOP!

(4)And you know who the interpreters for this entity that gave us a soul were, don't you? Marshack goes on to discuss the scientific and other contributions of Father Teilhard de Chardin, which rocked Catholicism Short-term projects usually match short-term funds, and so on I will repeat back to them what it is I think they're saying It doesn't seem to matter much how long a brand has been in business

I will Have you ever had one of those days where you just wish you were in a better mood? Perhaps you tried to shift your state of mind to something better but struggled to achieve itA lot of people spend a lot of money at chic pet boutiques, dressing their dogs in hundred-dollar sweaters and paying for meticulous pedicures Unintentionally encouraging allergic reactions Basketball fans wear NBA jerseys to support their state or favorite teams
