		<content type="html">If you don’t have passion or “desire”, then you won’t have the fire or strength to have longevity. You won’t have endurance or drive and won’t have the heart for humility. We must do whatever it takes to stay fresh in God and on fire for Him. The key to longevity is keeping your relationship with Jesus your #1 priority. As soon as prayer and God’s word become “a thing” instead of “the thing”, our passion begins to fade.</content>

		<content type="html">What a dynamic week, My family and I went on vacation to the coast of Texas and had a great time. My kids had so much fun, Cheryl got a major sunburn.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Oasis has set attendance records for the past two weeks. Let me say it like this, "we are out of room"&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Our services have been dynamic, the Holy Spirit moved powerfully&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Our Wednesday night crowds have doubled in the past month&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;We had an awesome mens and womens meeting Sunday&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Oasis Bible Institute starts next month&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;We had one salvation last week&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;13 families will be joining Oasis next month&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;My wife is feeling better, no more morning sickness! Praise him&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;My girls are all terrific&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;I'm looking forward to our fellowship dinner this weekend at Marshall and Vickie Hight's home&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Be in prayer for us as we seek the Lord for a larger building.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;

&lt;H1&gt;Resolving Marriage Conflict by Focusing on Solutions&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;If you, like so many other married couples, are trying to work through the trials and tribulations of managing your relationship and struggling with serious marriage issues, then you've probably questioned repeatedly "how to help my marriage succeed?" But what about the age old adage of "forgive and forget"? Finding needed marriage help may be as simple as learning the power of forgiveness.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;There is probably nothing more difficult than swallowing your pulsating pride in the heat of battle, especially if you feel that playing the role of the victim suits the situation. What you risk more by ignoring the importance of forgiveness are the possibilities of finding a positive method of conflict management and communication by removing or detaching yourself and your emotions from the volatility of the issue itself.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;Forgiveness is not about ignoring the issues in your marriage. It's not about condoning the problem or misguided behavior of your spouse. It's simply about detaching yourself from each incident or issue so that you can focus on ways to save your marriage without bogging your relationship down in spite, anger or resentment. It's your new lease on hope and a positive and mature approach to resolving conflict in marriage without feeling like you're being held hostage to marriage conflict. This is where the danger of repeating the same behaviors without moving forward could place your marriage in a stalemate and eventual jeopardy.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;Move on! Learn to let go of your anger and resentment. Don't stoop to spite and revenge. Work through the individual issues that feed these emotions and that allow anxiety and fear to prevent you from engaging in healthy conflict management. Why withhold your will to resolve your marital issues and grow your relationship by suffocating that desire with grudges?&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;The art of managing conflict in marriage lies in the ability to move past the problems to focus on potential solutions. No marriage can succeed if it remains mired in the past. Forgiveness will net positive benefits for you and your spouse beyond simply opening your communication to more honest interaction. Forgiveness frees you to start afresh, every day.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;Reaching out for professional help to assist you and your spouse in your conflict is an option to consider as well. You will find that the stress of handling issues as they pop up is greatly reduced when you can focus your energy on what is working in your relationship. Seek help toward learning conflict management skills and the power of forgiveness. Consider our marriage weekend workshop April 25th. &amp;nbsp;We are here to&amp;nbsp;help.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;Blessings, &lt;BR&gt;Danny&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;</content>

		<content type="html">&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"&gt;Cheryl and I have seen marriages go&amp;nbsp;under some extreme attacks lately. We have people in our families and our churches that are struggling and hurting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp; 
&lt;DIV&gt;If you are contemplating filing for divorce or drawing up separation agreements, you probably feel that you have no other choices.&amp;nbsp; We all know that experiencing conflict in marriage is part and parcel of being married.&amp;nbsp; It is only normal that you and your spouse have differing ideas and points of view; after all, you are married, not cloned.&amp;nbsp; But, for whatever reason, the marriage conflict has escalated and it is very likely that both of you are at a loss as to how to reconcile your differences.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;Before you start hammering the final nail into your marriage's coffin, take a step back and examine your relationship for just a moment. It may be that you're caught in a whirlwind of emotions that is preventing clear thought and constructive communication. It may be that you and your spouse have forgotten how to provide for each other's emotional and physical needs. Most likely, it's a combination of many things over time and by now you think it's too much and too late.&amp;nbsp; The truth is that it is NEVER too late to address these problems and save your marriage.&amp;nbsp; The question is how.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;Consider carefully what you are trying to reconcile, your end goals and what has or hasn't succeeded thus far. Here are some steps you should then consider taking:&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Take a few days apart from each other to gather your thoughts. While apart, you and your spouse pray and write down the needs you each feel are being neglected and the issues that need to be worked through. 
&lt;LI&gt;Sit down with your spouse and calmly discuss each other's list. Speak respectfully. Listen to really understand. Don't judge.&amp;nbsp; Keep the communication open and honest. This is crucial to moving the process forward without falling back into poor communication habits that have prevented progress up to this point. You are likely to find that there are common needs and issues you both are struggling with. Resolve to find constructive solutions. 
&lt;LI&gt;Seek the counsel of a trusted friend, Pastors and family who have worked through similar marriage issues. Bounce ideas off them and actively listen for suggestions from their experiences that could make a marked difference in your own marriage. 
&lt;LI&gt;Seek professional marriage help. Don't hesitate!&amp;nbsp; Discuss your lists of issues with a licensed minister, marriage therapist or counselor.&amp;nbsp; Look into attending a marriage seminar or marriage workshop that can help you in a short period of time gather ideas, skills and techniques that can help you work through your marriage crisis. &lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Oasis church is offering a marriage workshop this weekend in Round Rock, Texas&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;If you and your spouse can't do the first three steps above on your own, seek professional marriage help. The implications of divorce or marriage separation are serious and many.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;Your marriage crisis screams out that you should be seek help now to guide you and your spouse through the barricades and miscommunication and give you both a fighting chance of resolving your issues. If you've reached a point where both of you have addressed the areas of your marriage that just aren't working, then it is time to find a qualified third party who can help you find a lasting solution. Be wise and courageous and don't hesitate to seek the help you need. Keep your eyes fixed on your hope for a loving marriage and pursue it with all your strength of commitment.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Blessings, &lt;BR&gt;Danny &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;</content>

		<content type="html">This Sunday was our 1st opportunity to hold an Easter service in Oasis Church. Wow! I can't believe it's been 8 months since the church launched. The power of God was strong in our service this morning and the word was dynamic. God has brought some amazing and wonderful people to our church since our launch. I know the foundation is being laid for what God is going to do through Oasis. I'm excited about the future and the hope to see people restored, healed and blessed. I think that is the message for today that through the resurrection lives are restored, healed and blessed. I hope you have a great week and again Happy Resurrection Day!&lt;BR&gt;Blessings,&lt;BR&gt;Danny</content>

&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Prayer is one of the most misunderstood arts of the human experience-yet it is meant to be one &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;of the most exciting aspects of a life of faith.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Prayer is a lonely experience for many of us. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Although we have been taught that it is important to pray, we have been so disappointed and &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;frustrated that our prayers haven’t been answered, we’ve almost given up on it.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;We may pray when we are scared or sick, but it’s not a regular practice in our lives. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Outwardly, we agree that prayer is worthwhile, but secretly we wonder: &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Does &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;God really hear me &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;when I pray?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Why does it seem as if my prayers just hit the ceiling and bounce back at me?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Is God mad at me? Is that why &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;He &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;doesn't answer me? &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Why is prayer &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;so &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;boring and fruitless for me? Shouldn't I expect my prayers to be answered?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Unanswered prayer is a major obstacle that stands in the way of a life of true faith. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Certain people have lost their faith altogether because of unanswered prayer.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Some have turned to philosophy, metaphysics, or cults to find answers to life’s questions and &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;problems. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Others have turned to horoscopes, psychic hotlines, and witchcraft. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Still others have rejected the spiritual realm completely and now focus on purely materialistic things. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Confusion about prayer also affects those who are committed Christians.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;The greatest difficulty in most believers’ experience is their prayer lives. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Don’t be worried about whether or not God hears your prayers. He does and He will answer you. However, the real issue is will God answer yes to my prayer? Will He do what I ask or am I asking amiss? (&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A class=lbsBibleRef href="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/James%204.3" lbsReference="James 4.3|NIV"&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#2255aa size=2&gt;James 4:3&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Can we really pray a prayer and know God will say yes to that specific prayer? I believe we can know that God will answer yes to our prayer if it is lined up with 3 crucial things: (&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A class=lbsBibleRef href="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/James%205.16-18" lbsReference="James 5.16-18|NIV"&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#2255aa size=2&gt;James 5:16-18&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;It is lined up with what the Word of God says (effectual) &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;The motive of the prayer is a passion for the glory of God (fervent) &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;We have faith and confidence that God hears our prayer because we pray in the name of Jesus. (righteous) &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2&gt;Blessings, &lt;BR&gt;Danny&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</content>
