"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness” (Ephesians 6:13,14).

Where do we learn truth? We learn truth from the Word of God. Stand firm, putting on the BELT OF TRUTH––the truth of the Gospel. Ephesians 4:21 says that, “the truth is in Jesus.”

“Surviving Persecution,”  is probably a subject you don’t think about much or want to focus on for very long. But, it is a concern for many people in our world today. 

The Good Shepherd gives strength in our weakness and gently leads us through every trying time. We don’t have to continue in hopelessness or despair because His grace is abundant, and His power immeasurable.

"O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go"

O joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to Thee.

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."

You may not have Dyslexia, but you are dealing with something just as difficult. Remember, His grace is sufficient, it is enough, and abundant for you to be able to survive any trial, illness, or disability. The promise of eternal life with Christ is our greatest joy and hope.

Last week, we heard from my son, Mark, about the difficulties of having Dyslexia as a child. He told us that some children were mean and cruel to him and how he reacted to their taunting. Today, Mark will discuss with us what hardships he has endured as an adult and some of the encouragement he received from someone very special to him.

Today on our program, I wanted to talk about Dyslexia. Sometimes, this term is misunderstood and misdiagnosed, but it is a real and undeniable disability.

I believe that Christ holds the church in high esteem. The church is one of most important assets to the Christian life and without the church, we would have little encouragement, strength, or growth.
