Rescuing Men from Darkness

“In His hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are His also.” ~ Psalm 95:4
“Porque en su mano estan las profundidades de la tierra, y las Alturas de los montes son suyas.” ~ Salmos 95:4
“… the Chilean TV says that 1,000,000,000 of people were watching the rescue of the Chilean miners.
“… which brings to mind Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. He gave His life as a ransom to rescue humanity, and has demonstrated that He is an expert at freeing souls that are trapped in the depths of the abyss.
“… it was humble men, who had no public or media relevance before the collapse of the mine, who installed the quote of the event all the different media platforms all over the world. I suspect that ‘Thank you Lord!’ was the general feeling of the entire Chilean population. Continue reading Rescuing Men from Darkness

A Light in Jerusalem

mikeandsus

Labib was running late… “May I see your identification?” An Israeli soldier barred his way…
“Stand against the wall,” the soldier ordered, indicating with a nod of his head that he should line up with several other Palestinians and wait…
“May I say something to you?” he said in passable Hebrew to the soldier who was poring over several sets of papers. “I am a Christian… What I mean is that I am a believer in Jesus Christ, not just a Christian by religion only. Do you know about Jesus Christ? I will tell you about Him!” And so Labib began to tell the story of his Lord.
… While most Palestinians dreaded these inevitable checkpoints that severely restricted their mobility, Labib had come to enjoy the encounters. And he knew the freedom he experienced at these moments was something worth sharing with fellow Palestinians.

TALKing with God (via Kindling)

The need for and importance of prayer has pushed me also to do a lot more study of prayer—in the Word, in books on prayer, in the lives of prayer warriors through the centuries, and of course in the teachings and life of Jesus. Though there are conditions, approaches and models that imply depth and complexity, at its essence prayer is a conversation with God. With that as a starting point, God gave me a simple acrostic to guide me in my praying: TALK. T—Tell the truth. . . A—Ask boldly. . . L—Listen. . . K—Keep at it. . … Continue reading TALKing with God (via Kindling)

Ben’s Post on Haiti

mikeandsus

A typical day in Haiti begins with the sunrise, or just before it, when the birds begin calling. After breakfast, we would go to a “tent city” (an area of people living in tents because their homes were destroyed). The children gathered to watch us sing to them, enact stories from the Bible, and teach us some songs. We played games with them, gave them piggy-back rides, and kicked soccer balls around. After we passed out lunch to the kids, we went back to the missionary compound we were staying at (the missionaries we were working with were David and Beth Watters, who work for World Hope International). Some days we helped them out by clearing rubble so they could finish rebuilding the wall around the compound for security. Continue reading Ben’s Post on Haiti
