In the morning when I rise,
In the morning when I rise,
In the morning when I rise,
Give me Jesus.
Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus,
You can have all this world,
Give me Jesus.
After yesterday’s disruption of worship services at our city missionary’s church in St. Paul (@citieschurch), we are continuing to pray for the church and are helping to meet some tangible needs they have right now.
Here is an updated statement from NAMB president, Kevin Ezell @kevezell
CAN or WILL? More than once, Kasi and/or I have received messages saying, "You need to stop saying that God CAN heal your son Titus, and start saying God WILL heal your son." As though my wording is holding God back, and my faith is not strong enough to say WILL.
This is where theology that is not grounded in TRUTH can be harmful. I always INTENTIONALLY say that, "God CAN heal our son." Just because God CAN, doesn't necessarily mean He WILL here on earth! (Now, I do believe He WILL in eternity.)
The Apostle Paul prayed for God to remove a "thorn of the flesh". However, as far as we know from Scripture, God chose not to remove it. Did Paul lack faith? Did he get his wording wrong in the prayer? Nope! God was using it in Paul's life.
FAITH is not using the right wording to manipulate God to do what you want Him to. Faith is trusting that God CAN, but even if God is choosing not to - He has a WILL that is bigger and better than our "hopes that He WILL". FAITH is the ability to TRUST God even when you don't understand, even when it doesn't make sense, and even when He is not doing what you want Him to. Because, He has a WILL that is far more glorious that our WILL.
May His WILL be done...
“What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice” Philippians 1:18
This shouldn’t be political.
This shouldn’t be partisan.
This shouldn’t be up for debate.
There should be no question, any child born alive should receive the care they need to survive.
Tonight is poignant reminder: all men are spiritually inclined.
Most may not talk about God, but the moment devastation comes, the human instinct within man knows to cry out to its Maker.
