Thank you all for the prayers. Hunter is bruised but fortunately no break or fracture. He will have a tougher challenge explaining to his Mom why he was pitching sick! lol

When you forget the lostness of souls, you’ll neglect the practice of personal evangelism.

Imagine if Southern Baptists united behind a goal to make sure everyone in our nation heard the gospel proclaimed within 7 years. Imagine every church and every association and every state convention owning the goal to ensure that everyone within their state, county and region heard the good news of Jesus.

One of my seminary professors, Dr. Roy Beaman, was there on that day in Memphis, TN and used to tell us about it in class.

Evolution and millions of years are issues that undermine biblical authority and attack the character of God.

Only those Christians who take Genesis as history, as it is meant to be taken, can explain that the world we live in today has been affected by sin.

[Ken Ham @aigkenham]

This secular scientific study confirmed Genesis.

In 2000, the Human Genome Project announced to the world that all humans biologically belong to one race. Although the people heading this project did not acknowledge it, they confirmed the Bible’s account of the creation of man—that all people are descendants of Adam and Eve and all belong to one biological race.

Now, because of the immense variability God placed into the genome of each kind of creature, including humans, there is enormous potential for differences on the “outside”—e.g., physical traits. Sadly, many people see these outside differences as major and important—whereas, in reality, these differences only reflect the genetic differences that God placed in the genes of each type of creature.

However, humans have a difference inside that is vitally important. There are actually two “races” of people! There is only one race biologically, but there are two races spiritually. You are either for Christ or against him (Matthew 12:30); you either walk in light or in darkness (1 John 1:5).

The Bible makes it clear that the two spiritual “races” can be distinguished ultimately only by what is on the inside—the state of one’s heart.

In 1 Samuel, we read the account of Samuel going to anoint a king. He did not know God had chosen David. From the text, we are given the impression that Samuel saw one of David’s brothers and was convinced that he would be the king because of his physical characteristics. However, that was not to be.

In 1 Samuel 16:7, we read, “But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.’”

This reminds us all that it is not the outside that matters, but the state of your heart.

It is easy for us as humans to focus on the outside as we look at people—their physical characteristics, their clothing, their lifestyle—but God reminds us that the inside makes all the difference.

As we think about all this regarding the great commission, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation” (Mark 16:15), we need to remember that the saving power of the gospel is for all our relatives—every human being.

After Noah’s flood, eight people came off the ark, and all the people who live (or have lived since) on earth are descended from them.

Greatest movie ever.

[All The Right Movies @ATRightMovies]

Director Carl Dreyer pushed actress Renée Falconetti to the limit on THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC (1928). He made her kneel on bare stone, banned makeup, and shot the same close-ups over and over to get pain on her face. Her performance is still discussed.
