- Have you any room for Jesus,
He who bore your load of sin?
As He knocks and asks admission,
Sinner, will you let Him in?- Refrain:
Room for Jesus, King of Glory!
Hasten now His Word obey;
Swing the heart’s door widely open,
Bid Him enter while you may.
- Refrain:
- Room for pleasure, room for business,
But for Christ the Crucified,
Not a place that He can enter,
In the heart for which He died? - Have you any room for Jesus,
As in grace He calls again?
Oh, today is time accepted,
T’morrow you may call in vain. - Room and time now give to Jesus,
Soon will pass God’s day of grace;
Soon thy heart left cold and silent,
And thy Savior’s pleading cease

Have You Any Room For Jesus? ~ Jay Young
Pastor William (Willie) Fitch ~ Bible Prophecy
Ed's Note: Pastor Willie Fitch was instrumental in shepherding my parents and grandparents family members, when revival came to our area at Essex Gospel Tabernacle in Essex (Windsor-area), Ontario in Essex Country in the late 30's & 40's. In April 1943, Rev. William Fitch moved on from Essex when he was invited to become pastor of Bethel Pentecostal Church (Windsor, Ontario) (currently known as Parkwood Gospel Church, Windsor, Ontario). For thirty years (From 1943 to 1973), Pastor Fitch led this church in his legendary fiery-style, through unprecedented growth and blessing.
Here is a video I've recently obtained of an interview he did on Bible Prophecy.

How Do We Make Society Better? LEFT V.S. RIGHT #5 ~ Dennis Prager
Editor's Note: As a Follower of Christ and a disciple, it is critical how you think on a variety of societal issues. The Bible tells us that we as Christians are "ARE IN THE WORLD", but "NOT OF THE WORLD", yet still we are astounded by our culture's rapid LEFT-Wing agenda that threatens to challenge and change everything we know to be Good and True as presented in scripture. How can two people-groups so culturally similar have such radically-different and opposing viewpoints? You may be wondering where exactly some of your Conservative viewpoints as a christian were formed? ... or more likely ask yourself after years of observing our country (and world) and it's continually progressive Liberal drift, "Why am I so frustrated with those liberal/left-wing thinkers who always get it so wrong?
Talk Show host Dennis Prager has a series of thought-provoking videos discussing LEFT VS. RIGHT viewpoints. I challenge you as a christian to objectively listen to each of his presentations which give us some clues into origins of our typically Christian Conservative viewpoints readily opposed by Liberal thinkers.
In 2009, Prager started a website, Prager University, offering five-minute videos on various subjects such as the Ten Commandments, the minimum wage, the Middle East, Global warming, and happiness with a conservative perspective. To be very clear, Mr. Prager is NOT a Christian, but has his roots as an Orthodox Jew, thus his videos do not necessarily view scripture exactly as Christians view scripture, nonetheless there are many general parallels between. Here is another video in this series:

“What are you saying? What are you thinking? What are you doing?” The man on stage flashes a toothy smile as he scans the thousands of concertgoers on a chilly November evening at Overlake Christian Church, a nondenominational megachurch pastored by Mike Howerton and located east of Seattle, near the headquarters of Microsoft. Last fall, Brian Houston, cofounder and global senior pastor of Hillsong Church, headlined the US-based There Is More tour, incidentally also the name of his 2018 Christian living title and worship album, recorded live at the Sydney, Australia, location.
