Christians were first called “Christians” (Acts 11:26) bc they talked about Christ.
The gospel.
Death. Burial. Resurrection.
Forgiveness of sin.
Blood atonement for sin to satisfy God’s wrath.
Not bc they were trying to “wake people up.”
Not bc they were “patriots.”
Not bc they had promo codes or “platforms.”
The gospel saves souls.
The gospel is also, in my view, the ONLY thing that gives context to today’s chaos.
I will “infight” with anyone who elevates whatever above the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Division is good as long as it tracks to right order.
The Bible tells us how God orders.
Slice & dice. 😃🔪

Requesting input:
I have two (2) coordinated speaking events this week.
Both are “at my discretion” regarding content. One is an hour long sermon/class. One is 35min long sermon/testimonial.
The gospel will be what both events point to.
With that, please give me ideas of what you’d like me tk talk about.
1) Tuesday, 0800CT on Pastor Stuart Guthrie’s “Getting in the Word.” One hour teach, followed by Q&A.
2) Saturday, 1200-1700CT, Gospel & Freedom event (location tbd bc godless commies want to censor). 35min presentation (The Wife & kiddos will be in attendance for this).

Are you feeling overwhelmed?
There is TRUE power in the saving grace of Jesus Christ! He loves you very much and He can be trusted and taken at His word.
Matthew 11:25-30
Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest
(25) At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; (26) yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. (27) All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. (28) Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (29) Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (30) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Just talk to Jesus. Tell Him everything that is on your heart, the good, the bad and even the ugly. Let go of your burdens and lay them at the foot of the cross. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
If you do not know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior seek Him out today. His loving arms are open and waiting for you. Let him into your life today and experience the glory, joy and peace of the Risen Lord! Amen!

Update From the ground in Ukraine from Pastor Mike.
Quick update on Samantha DeGuzman and Hope DeGuzman from our conversation this morning. They are trying to gather a group to go to the border tomorrow to help the refugees who are waiting in line to go to Romania. They are going to purchase warm clothing, food, blankets, etc... cook hot meals, help with kids, and maybe even build some toilets. The lines on the border can be 2-3 days wait and there are a lot of people suffering that they can help and bring hope to. Thank you for praying!

Update from the Ukraine 🇺🇦 continue to pray for the missionaries on the ground there. Here is latest update from Pastor Mike.
So, some big changes today as the girls are splitting up. Sam is on her way to Poland with Peter and Danik (US/Ukrainian missionaries). They need drivers/workers to load/bring humanitarian aid to the refugees who are still in Ukraine. Hope is staying where she’s at on the Ukrainian side of the Romanian border to prepare a new building to house 40 refugees that are on their way after being severely bombed yesterday.
Hope said, “We both have teams of people surrounding us so don’t worry about us being separate! If I need to leave, we are right next to the border and I definitely won’t hesitate to get out. I really wanted to stay because the people here don’t have a way to buy stuff. I think God has put me here even just to be a bridge to get money and humanitarian aid into the country.” One of their big needs right now is for cash. The stores are no longer accepting cards so, while they have plenty of money in their accounts (from the generosity of God’s people), they don’t have access to it. There is a guy who has US dollars and is asking to exchange those dollars and have the girls transfer the money from their account into his. A missions pastor friend of mine is also working on getting them euros from some missionary contacts he has in Romania. All this to say…please pray. They will update tonight when things slow down a bit.

Just in from Ukraine 🇺🇦
From Sam just now: We need urgent prayer!!
They aren’t wanting to let Peter and Danik go through! They are letting us go through the original check and gonna check them through the system. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. So, prayer that they let them in with Sam and Dasha rather than separating them and Sam and Dasha having to go by themselves .
Thanks for keep our dear friends lifted!

Update from Pastor Mike on our missionaries on the ground in Ukraine 🇺🇦
Hey guys!
A short update from the past 24ish hours. Yesterday, I (Sam) decided to head to Poland with 3 other people to help drive humanitarian aid back and forth from Europe. After spending about 12 hours in driving and in lines, two of the guys weren’t allowed to get out of the country because of dual citizenship.
At that point, it was 3am and I was going to be traveling alone with 1 other girl from Hungary to Poland. We decided to head back to the Carpathians for a few days and regroup.
The process of helping refugees is slowly starting to get on the move. Since we ourselves are currently “refugees”, we have to find a place to host people. Right now, even if you’re willing to pay, it’s hard to find anything available. We have started buying groceries and are sending out a load of stuff to Kyiv tonight. We are doing good. Of course, it’s hard being away from home especially not knowing how long this is all gonna last. Please keep praying!❤️
Today we decided to get out and wash the car. The town we are living in is very small and has a few small stores. We were so pleasantly surprised and excited when we saw a chain store “Epicentr”, it’s basically like a Home Depot😅 For a little bit, life felt a little more normal 😏
A lot of us are starting to get to the point of “we just want to be home”. Please pray that can happen soon😏 we obviously are so thankful to be safe and realize it could be much worse but it’s still just hard 🥺

The sound of my quite time This morning in Panama! Be refreshed, read God’s Word and hear the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks as the tide rolls out! It is our last morning as we relish in God’s glory here! It’s been fun, refreshing and of all we have seen, lives that have impacted us and memories that are set in stone! The only thing I can hope is that in the near future, we can again experience Panama, it’s people and the majesty of God’s Glory! My reminder this morning,
Be still and know that I AM God!
Psalm 113:3
[3] From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised!

Those Who Fear God Will Do Well
Those who don’t, well the text speaks clearly about that!
Ecclesiastes 8:10-13
[10] Then I saw the wicked buried. They used to go in and out of the holy place and were praised in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity. [11] Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil. [12] Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him. [13] But it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.
