“All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.””

Helen Roseveare, a missionary who faced intense suffering and persecution during her 20 years of service in the Congo, shares one of the times that she saw God answer prayer in a most unexpected way:
"I went to have prayers with our orphanage children as I did every day, and any of the children wanted gathered around me for prayer time, and I'd give them different things to pray about. And this particular day, I told the children of this tiny baby and asked them to pray for the nurses that they would stay awake all night to keep that baby warm. If the baby got cold, it would die. I mentioned that the baby had a 2-year-old sister who was crying because her mommy had died. I mentioned the burst hot water bottle.
During prayer time, different children prayed for different things, and then one little 10-year-old girl, Ruth, she prayed in the usual blunt way of our African children, 'Please, God, send us a hot water bottle. Now, God, it'll be no good tomorrow. Send it this afternoon. Now, if it comes tomorrow, the baby will be dead.'
I'm sort of swallowing hard, and she said, 'While you're about it, God, would you send a dolly for the little 2-year-old sister, so she'll know that Jesus really loves her?'
And that afternoon, the parcel came. It was the first parcel I ever, I've been out there four years, I'd never had a parcel from home. And despite the fact I live on the equator, somebody packing that parcel had been prompted by God to put in a hot water bottle, and a child from my Bible class at home had put in a dolly for a little girl.
And it came that afternoon in answer to a 10 year-old child's prayer, and the amazing thing was, you know, that parcel had been on the way five months to get to us. It had left England in July, and it came that afternoon, cause a child prayed."
Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
Francis Schaffer in 1982 answering the question of what has gone wrong with evangelicals that allowed the Christian consensus to be lost in our nation:
"I think a false view of spirituality, a Platonic view of spirituality which follows Plato, but certainly isn't biblical. And that is that spirituality is shut up to a small area of life...in this view, everything is worldly that isn't in this little box of spirituality. Now, as I look at the Bible, this is exactly 1000% backwards.
There are certain sinful things that God tells us are sinful, and we ought to take those and set them aside...and then, everything else is spiritual."
Robertson: "Elaborate on that. Everything then in the world, because you're saying that Jesus has a plan and a worldview and a purpose. He's not just God of the church; He's God of everything."
Schaeffer: "Absolutely. He made it. And one day, the wonder is, Jesus is coming back and is going to be the redemption of all things...God is interested in the totality of life—art, music, literature, but also the political life. So true spirituality means the Lordship of Christ in the totality of life and not just a small part of it."
Robertson: "The liberal press, particularly, would try to keep conservative Christians or evangelicals out of political life, and there's this great pressure to make fun of you when you get in politics, and they don't think it should be. And there are many Christians who say yes to the same thing. Now, what do you say to them?"
Schaeffer: "Well, they're wrong."
Robertson: "Christians should do what? Run for office, vote, register, get involved? What ought they to do?"
Schaeffer: "Well, we ought to realize that in the viewpoint of the Scripture, life is not divided up into watertight compartments, that all of life should be lived for the Lordship of Christ. Now, what exact portion each one of us should have is according to the Lord's leading for us...but the rule to lay down is that Christians have a responsibility for the society in which they live.
We're to be the salt. We're to be the light...By our silence, by refusing to be what God tells us to be, the light of this culture, the salt of the culture, we are the ones responsible before God for the mess we're in."
Jon and I went to work for CSU around the same time. We became fast friends. He was my friend, work colleague, and brother in Christ. I’m truly thankful for his life and ministry.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Rev. Jon Davis, associate vice president for spiritual life.
Jon served CSU for 35 years with unwavering faith, touching countless lives. He loved Jesus and shared that love with all. He will be greatly missed.

Corrie ten Boom describing the miraculous means God used to allow her and Betsie to have a Bible while imprisoned in a German concentration camp:
"I said, 'Oh, Lord, send your angels. Let them surround me!' But then I thought, but, yes, angels are a spirit, and you can look through a spirit...So I said, 'Oh, God, let your angels this time not be transparent!'
You can pray very unorthodox when you are in great need. But God did it! The woman who stood before me was searched and then my sister who was behind me, and they did not see me. And so I came in the prison with my Bible."
After Don Lemon and his activists interrupted the good people in church in Minnesota on Sunday, he interviewed a member of that church as everyone was leaving.
Just listen to how evil Lemon is....

The entire gospel in two minutes from Voddie Baucham.
“Until one day, when it’s all said and done, we’re not just saved from the penalty of sin. We’re not just saved from the power of sin. But one day, we’re glorified and saved from the very presence of sin.
That’s the gospel that we preach! That’s the gospel that we need! And that’s the gospel that’s more than enough!”
Today was that day for Voddie. When he preached this, he saw by faith. Now, Voddie sees by sight—glorified with Christ forever and eternally free from the penalty, power, and presence of sin.
Psalm 116:15 - “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.”
Unbelievably thankful for Brother Voddie’s ministry. He will be missed! Praying for his family. #Heaven
