"The almost communal wave of youth emigration, especially in Syria,

but also in Lebanon and Iraq, breaks my heart, wounding me deeply and

dealing me a deadly blow. Given this tsunami of emigration...what future

is left for the church? What will become of our homeland?"

NEEDLESS SUFFERING

I just saw a post on Facebook from someone who said they don't ask God to make things easier, they just ask Him for the strength to get through the things that come.

GOOD GRIEF, CHARLIE BROWN!!! You wonder why some Christians have things so much easier than others do! The battle is ALL in the mind. The way we think has such a huge effect on how our lives go.

"The violent attacks on churches in Tanzania again remind

us of the tragic escalation of persecution of Christians

throughout the world. The body of Christ must unite in

even greater faithful and fervent prayer for the thousands

of believers who are suffering for our Lord's name."

My Manna

"In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." John 7:37-38.

An estimated 500,000 tons of water go over Niagara Falls every minute.

On March 29, 1948, the falls suddenly stopped.

Those who lived near enough heard the overwhelming silence, and immediately they thought it…

Paul Writes About Having A Christ-like Attitude

“With regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness” (Ephesians 4:22-24).

Many religions of today, including the New Age philosophies, promote the old lie that we are divine or that we can become gods. But the truth of…

Rotten at the heart!

(J. C. Ryle, "Our Hope!" 1877)

"Everyone who has this hope in Christ keeps

himself pure, just as Christ is pure." 1 John 3:3

The man who has a good hope will show it in all

his ways. It will influence his life, his character,

and his daily conduct. It will make him strive to

be a holy, godly, conscientious, spiritual man.

He will feel under a constant obligation to serve

and please Him from whom his…

TURNING THE WORLD THE RIGHT WAY UP

Acts 1:1 提阿非羅阿、我已經作了前書、論到耶穌開頭一切所行所教訓的、 2 直到他藉著聖靈、吩咐所揀選的使徒、以後被接上升的日子為止。 3 他受害之後、用許多的憑據、將自己活活的顯給使徒看、四十天之久向他們顯現、講說　神國的事。 4 耶穌和他們聚集的時候、囑咐他們說、不要離開耶路撒冷、要等候父所應許的、就是你們聽見我說過的。 5 約翰是用水施洗．但不多幾日、你們要受聖靈的洗。 (Act 1:1 CU5)

Luke wants the reader to know several things, as he starts the description of the work of the Early Church, and here are just a couple of things that stand out.

and stands up under temptation, for when he has stood the test
