Be on guard saints. Don't get lazy on watchman duty because of the election results. Don't be surprised if the coming revival of America and the church at large proves to have a serpentine underbelly that rubs Bible-believing Christians the wrong way. Our kingdom is not of this world. Theirs is.

Let us rejoice that the power of God to change the unbelieving hearts of the ungodly is the same in our own generation as it was in Paul's day. May we be earnest in supplications, and stand firm in our personal prayer ministry, resolving to pray earnestly and keep on praying that the gospel of Christ is effective today, that it will spread rapidly in these closing days of the Church dispensation, and that God will be greatly glorified.

Too often the problems of life are spawned by a wrong attitude towards our circumstances, our acquaintances and even towards God. And as a result, hasty words and complaining speech is often the consequence of this wrong spirit.
Let us follow the example of Peter and David, and by faith make the most of the life that God has given us by fostering a gracious attitude, a thankful heart, and conversation that is full of grace and seasoned with salt, that edifies and encourages, to the glory of God.

Leaving shortly for a 4 week trip with numerous stops for the work of the Lord. Please pray for us.

Let us seek to walk in spirit and truth, to submit to the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit, to listen to His voice of truth, and to trust in His Word of wisdom. Today, let us actively put on Christ so that we may passively abide in Him so that with Paul, we may confidently know that the testimony of our conscience is that we are daily conducting ourselves towards men and God with sincerity and purity, not by the fleshly wisdom of the world, but by the grace of God.

God has promised that His grace is sufficient in every difficult circumstance of life, and no matter what 'giants' we may encounter as we journey through life, we have His assurance of a victorious life with spiritual blessings ~ and rest for our soul. May we take to heart this warning in both the Old and New Testament to hold fast to the faith we have in Christ and to trust in God's unchanging Word, for He has promised a rest for the people of God, and that rest is found in Christ.

Let us pray for those that are overseers in local churches and shepherds in the Body of Christ today, that each one may take to heart this important command to be on their guard for their own spiritual well~being, and to take responsibility for protecting all the flock of God with sound doctrine and a disciplined life. Let us pray that they guard their own hearts as well as guiding and shepherding the Church of God, which our Saviour, Jesus Christ purchased with His own precious blood, 2000 years ago.

Lee and his parents.

We may face injustice in this world as the enemy of our soul seeks to discredit our testimony, discourage our hearts, and destroy our faith, but Jesus has promised never to leave us and to be with us whatever betides. Let us never forget that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him, and a day is coming when He will judge the world in righteousness and faithfully bring forth justice, in God's time and His way.

Paul encourages us to live every day for Christ, redeeming the time, and eagerly awaiting our Lord: "Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Christ Jesus."
This confident, future hope of the glory of God is the eternal fruit of today's patient endurance in our present sufferings ~ and so let us rejoice in our suffering KNOWING the glory that will be revealed.

My apologies to all who expected a livestream with LA Marzulli yesterday. He received an unexpected visit from dear friends and wanted to spend the evening with them. So we have rescheduled for Wed Nov 27 at 6 pm Central, 5 pm Rocky, 4 pm Pacific. Really looking forward to this time with a dear friend, pioneer researcher, and devoted believer.

"God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes on Him should not perish but have everlasting life." It is faith in the full and finished work of the Son and trusting Him as Saviour that is the criteria for reconciliation to the Father, as was agreed by the Godhead in the eternal council chamber of heaven, before the world began.

ALL authority in heaven and on earth has been given to HIM.

As believers, we still retain our freewill, but in Christ we have received power over that old, fallen, sin nature as we die to self and live for Christ alone. If we permit the old sin nature to mount the throne of our life, we dishonour the Lord and will reap the bitter fruit of sinfulness, but if we keep the old man nailed to the Cross and live for Christ alone, we will reap the everlasting fruit of righteousness: "For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life."

Error feels at liberty to level broad-brush charges against evangelism or dispensationalism with convoluted or stretched arguments, yet throws a hissy fit and whines she is being attacked when anyone responds to her attack with a forceful show of reason and facts. Dogs that bite shouldn't pretend they are being mistreated when they get beaten with a big stick.

Some of the kids singing and puzzling.

In the absolute and unique unity of the Godhead, before the foundation of the world and all that was created ~ is the WORD, Who is identified from all eternity as the only One Who is qualified to become incarnate flesh ~ Immanuel ~ God with us ~ perfect God made fully Man ~ fully God and perfect Man ~ the eternal Son Who became the living Word ~ God the Son, Who was born as the Son of Man. For, "in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory ~ as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."

When one lesson is learned, another is forthcoming. David was to yield to the Lord and not resist His chastening rod. He was to be prepared to walk God's better way rather than follow his own imperfect whims. He was to surrender His imperfect will so that the perfect will of God may be fulfilled in his life. 
May we learn this important lesson, keep a short rein on sin, and be ready and willing to learn the lessons God has to teach us. May we allow His counsel to lead us in the decisions we make in life ~ for when we delight ourselves in the Lord HE gives us the desires of our heart.
