Years ago, "To Tell the Truth," a TV game show, introduced three contestants, one of which had an off-beat occupation. The object was to eliminate the two fakers and decide who was really telling the truth, with the real person standing up to reveal his true self. A fun show as you sat at home also trying to guess who would stand up to reveal he was the one REALLY telling the truth!

Well, it's "back to the future," for just recently, a contestant from the popular "Survivors" TV show, unashamedly "stood up" for Christ. Contestants were allowed to bring one treasure with them onto the island--Derk Bean, a Christian, brought his Bible. While there, he had great Christian influence on the other islanders. Unfortunately, he was the fifth contestant to be voted off the island, so he's not a REAL "Survivor"--or is he??

Derk Bean was a glorious "stand-up" testimony to his faith in Christ and would do it again if given the opportunity! He may not have won the million dollars on the show--but he's a REAL survivor in my book!

We are real survivors too--we stand, gird in the armor of the Lord, as "more than conquerors through Him who loved us!" And wherever we stand, whether it's an island on a game show, the workplace, the home or the church--it's "holy ground"--for "where HE is present, it's holy!" We WILL survive life's difficulties, we WILL proclaim our faith in Him--and we WILL stand as REAL SURVIVORS by His grace.

Believe it--unashamedly STAND UP FOR JESUS--and have a great day--for HE stands with you and you WILL survive!

Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth...(Romans 1:16)."

"Wherefore, take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, TO STAND (Ephesians 6:13)."

"...in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us (Romans 8:37)."

Draw from the Well--a song and a prayer for renewing strength for this day

Paul's Prayer--lyrics & tune--now playing on this page.

Lord, there are days when I feel anything BUT a survivor. I just can't make it--then YOU show me Your grace; YOU reveal Your Love, and as I stand in that love and grace, I am strong and I know I can survive. Help me, Lord, to stand for You wherever you have placed me in my world--for I WILL survive by Your grace, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
