"Mutual love among Christians is a great friend to spiritual growth: it is in love that the body edifies itself; whereas a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand." #MatthewHenry#sermonprep
But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.

My wife works for a pregnancy resource center. She did an ultrasound on a woman a few months ago who ended up deciding to abort her baby.
Yesterday, she came back with a new baby in her arms to get supplies.
She’d changed her mind.
Stories like this happen all the time there.
"Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart." -- Andrew Bonar

Dear Praying Friends,
I will shortly be returning to the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, MD in order to spend April doing a variation of the immunotherapy that I received last June. It was successful in eradicating 99% of the tumors. However, new tumors have developed.
2020 was a year of pivoting on just about every level of life. One of the things we did differently was we put our entire membership class online. We recorded videos people can watch on their own time to learn more about our church. By God's grace, it worked very well. Not only did it enable people to join while the world seemed to be turning upside down, but it turned out to be really convenient for people to watch on their own time. Some binge-watched them in 1 sitting. Others watched 1 video every week. It made for minimal impact on people's schedules, so it really served them. 166 people joined our church through those means.
Tonight, we're holding our first New Member Class since 2019. I don't think we're taking down the online option, but it's cool to be doing these again w/ live Q&A, food, all that jazz. @brianfannin is doing a great job. I'm up next, & looking forward to it! #ILoveMyJob
