Tuesday night, I had the opportunity to lead worship for the 2013-2014 Youth Encounter teams. What a powerful message they have to share this year! The theme which will be guiding their encounters this year is taken from First Chronicles 29:11 … Yours. Then, yesterday, during our morning prayer time, our good friend, Dieter, led […]
This is the first in a series of posts within which we shall explore what it means to authentically realize and manifest, with integrity, our Christian faith in the realm of social media. Step one? Simplify. Too often, when we think on the lifestyle of simplicity as it relates to the living out of the […]
Yes, we have a piano. For some time, I have been wanting to return to the ivories. Periodically, I’ve been checking the craigslist free items. It’s actually quite surprising the number of pianos that are available for the taking. I suppose in an increasingly mobile culture, people get tired of moving pianos. Aelah, having toyed […]
When online, how do we keep the integrity of a walk worthy of the calling? (Ephesians 4) I have been wrestling around this very thought for the past 14 months. After having been called to service as Electronic Media Coordinator with World Mission Prayer League (WMPL), my online engagement increasingly stemmed from a professional and ministerial […]
It’s been long since I have given an update on the work of which I am a part here in the home offices of the Prayer League. I spend much time in front of the computer screen. That much is true. Development continues on the WMPL website and our Fellow Worker blogs. The objectives remain […]

When the disciples returned to Jerusalem, devoting themselves to prayer, awaiting the coming of the promised Helper, I wonder if they knew what change would be unleashed in their midst. Prayer is revolutionary.

They […]
Flying the kite on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Her flutter-tongue crying — endearing, until she ramps up the intensity. https://vandercar.net/2013/04/AelahCrying.mp3 No stranger to technology, she is learning young … tapping daddy’s iPhone. 3 @hkk e yvyhqwjkdfpxny (Aelah's 1st tweet. #14mo) — Ua Vandercar (@UaMV) April 26, 2013
When the psalmists sung and when Job tussled with the sovereignty of God, they conversed not in mere acquiescence. Prayer is inquisitional. Inquisitional inquiring deeply or searchingly of a harsh, difficult, or prolonged questioning In using the word ‘inquisitional’ in description of prayer, i mean simply these two things: to acknowledge and respond (in silence, […]
Glory of God, O, glory of God – Pierce the night, Immortal light, arisen; Breaking death’s dark prison. After forty days – To heaven raised. O, glory of God. Glory of God. Amen, ignite our mission.
Glory of God, O, glory of God – At Bethlehem, In mortal man, awoken; Now, the body broken. ‘Neath a crown of thorns, The temple torn. O, glory of God. Glory of God. Christ, the Amen spoken.
When Elijah bravely and boldly faced the priestly gathering upon the high place, it was no tame task in which he participated. Prayer is wild. Wild living in a state of nature; not tame showing lack of restraint or control Our God is in the business of wildly bestowing grace upon His children. When we […]
