Letters In Grace

Well, I WAS going to talk about the Great Commission and our role as ambassadors of Christ, but instead, the dog decided to interrupt and cut it short. The beginning is a stupid joke regarding the current internet meme about animals being eaten, but no one is talking about the voodoo that is part of the culture of those coming to the States. Any who, maybe out of fear for his safety the dog cut me short so we didn't get to it. :-)

Millions of people have been watching a viral song online that tackles the subject of mental health. Mental health is such a HUGE issue today and we HAVE to fight to save these precious lives from the darkness that convinces them to hate themselves and end it all to calm the waters. This one's a bit heavy, but our loved ones are worth it! Let's engage and FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT for them!

What does God want you to know about Him? Why did God create? Creation, the Bible, Jesus, the Church... All revealing who God is. This is just a very basic introduction to get you thinking about WHO God is and WHAT God wants you to know about Him as He has revealed Himself.

Maybe most importantly, what should our response be?

Here's a few recommended resoursces for you:

AW Pink: The Attributes of God

AW Tozer: Knowledge of the Holy

Stephen Charnock: Divine Providence

RC Sproul: The Holiness of God

Steve Lawson: Show Us Your Glory

So many others... Above all, read your Bible and look for the attributes of God so that your life of faith and worship are GOD-centered not man-centered.

Your purpose and what the Lord is doing in this world.

Just a quick update.

Discussing the requirement for answered prayer, assurance of answered prayer, and whose prayers does GOD hear?

They amazing details in the last supper that we as gentiles miss by not knowing the Jewish context. Let scripture and Jesus unfold this amazing symbolism in the last supper that we celebrate at communion before He was to go to the cross.

Jews for Jesus "Christ in the Passover" https://youtu.be/3Gjf1v6Xmhs?si=hyDuLyUsG89GqXdU

This will bring a proper context to John chapter 6 as well.

John Chapter 1, the Love of GOD, the mercy and grace of God. God is FOR you not against you...yet. The responsibility of mankind and the believer. Children of God have this ONE job.

Shannon Hurley from Uganda was here this week. I share a few takeaways from that. A.I. wrote us a song and we'll talk about some dangers coming from that space, and wrapping up a 4-month study in Philippians with Men of Grace. This has really taught me to appreciate our pastors and helps me to prepare my mind better to receive the teaching on Sunday mornings.
