Happy 4th of July!

Leave a comment

From BillyGraham.org, “Although it is not a religious holiday like Christmas or Easter, July 4th is a time to reflect on God’s goodness to us as a nation. Molded into the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia (which proclaimed our independence) are these words from the Bible: “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof” (Leviticus 25:10, KJV). Our legal system reflects our Judeo-Christian roots.

While we look with gratitude to the past on this July 4th, may we also look in faith to the future, and commit it and our lives to God and His will. The ancient words of the Psalmist are still true: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33:12).”

The Ark Adventure

Recently I was blessed to visit the Ark Adventure in Kentucky, as well as the Creation Museum – wow – definitely stirred me up in the area of Apologetics (1 Peter 3:15). We were able to check out all 3 stories of the Ark inside – built to scale to save 8 people and 1,400 kinds of animals – amazing!

I’ll do my best in the coming days to post some of the signs we saw at each location/station along the way (feeling indebted to the people of Calvary Chapel El Monte).

The Ark confirms God’s holiness and just judgment, but it also demonstrates His love and the salvation He freely offers through the Lord Jesus Christ (Hebrews 11:7).

A Conversation with Julia and Elias

I was super blessed to be able to sit down and talk with two amazing young people, to get a glimpse of their story and how they were able to “stay on track” with the Lord through their school years.

They’re both good examples of Paul’s words to young Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:12, “Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”

And Proverbs 22:6 (NIV) “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”

Please continue to pray for – and love on…the next generation!

God’s Power is Needed and Available

I don’t know about you, but I’m bombarded – daily – with situations that can easily and swiftly overpower me.

Next thing you know, I’ve given in to sin, to anger, to depression, to laziness, to throwing myself a massive “pity party,” and yet, I know better. I’ve learned that pity parties are not productive!

Isaiah writes about waiting on the LORD (Isaiah 40:31). This means that I need to simply believe (from the heart), that the LORD knows my situation, and is working it all together for good (Romans 8:28).

I need to muster up that mustard seed of faith to pray and obey, and draw my strength from Almighty God, who will strengthen me to fly high in the heavenlies and soar over ALL that might come my way TODAY that tries to bring me down.

Praying for you too my friend, may God himself empower you with HIS strength to face every single challenge…and prevail!

I want to know Christ more, and make Him known…
