@nettermike@DrFrankTurek Wow! Great insight from this young woman! I grew up on a KY farm with little income & both parents taking other jobs to “make ends meet.” I received a scholarship to college & worked my way through my undergrad, master’s, & doctoral degrees. Thankful & blessed in the U.S.! 🇺🇸
Whether our past experiences were good or painful, our Sovereign and loving God has a better plan for our future. This powerful promise is for both individuals and churches. So look up to the Lord and look forward to the “new thing” He has already begun!
This is by far the best interview I have ever seen with someone who holds or held elective office
Every school should show this to the students
@BenSasse - exactly what we need
@ed_eichman@Hoang_HQ Glen was also an excellent banjo player! His daughter, Ashley, is a master of the instrument! She toured with him and has a career of her own playing and singing.
@EnochBurke Praise God for the courage of this faithful teacher and his loved ones as they choose to boldly stand for the unchanging truth of God’s Word and oppose the laws of a morally corrupt government.🙏
'Pistol Pete' Maravich sharing his testimony of faith in Jesus Christ in 1987 less than one year before his death at the age of 40:
"I want all of you to know this tonight about Peter Maravich. You may never have heard of me. It makes no difference. I'm just one person on this earth saved by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. I want you to know this, that the change that came into my life was Jesus Christ.
It was not winning. I won all my life. I won every trophy, award, everything you can think of, but every time I won something, I wanted something more. I had to win again. It wasn't money, because money'll buy you everything but happiness. It'll pay your fare at every place but Heaven. Material things—I've driven everything some of you strive for from Rolls Royces to BMWs to Mercedes to Porsches. It wasn't religion because in the name of religion, Jesus Christ was placed upon that cross.
And the purest thing about Christianity is the fact that it's your choice. You can't work. You can't earn. I knew that, and I understood it now.
I want you to know this. The last thing I'd like to say is this, next week I'll be inducted into the Hall of Fame. I'll get that big ring. In fact, it's a bigger ring than I would have got for the championship, but I'll tell you something about all the awards. They all pale to the glory of Christ and what He's done in my life. It's amazing what He has done in my life.
I wouldn't trade my position in Christ for a thousand NBA championships or a thousand Hall of Fame rings or for a hundred billion dollars. There's nothing like the joy of Jesus Christ in your life."
I am so thankful for this announcement! Dr. Scott Pace is a stellar leader, a faithful preacher, a thoughtful scholar, and a man of God. Southeastern is in good hands for the future. Praise the Lord.
During an interview in 1974, Corrie ten Boom shared how she once encouraged fellow believers in Africa with one of her father's memorable lessons on why Christians need not fear being strong enough to endure suffering:
"I once said to my father (I was still a little girl), 'Daddy, I will never be strong enough to suffer for Jesus.'
And Father said, 'When you go to travel with a train to Amsterdam, when do I give you the train ticket? Three weeks before?'
I said, 'No, Daddy, the day that I go to travel.'
And Father said, 'That's what God does. Today, you do not need to have strength to suffer for Jesus, but the moment you will have the honor to suffer for Him, He will give you all the strength.' And then I was confident.
And I said to these people, 'When you have to suffer for Jesus, the Lord will give you the train ticket.'"
@ThoNg676733 Incredible singer, songwriter, and guitarist; however, Red Shea was the legendary lead acoustic guitar player for Gordon during this period of his career. He is the one who makes the instrumental accompaniment so unforgettable!
