Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
Hab. 3:17-18
Oh, that in this tempestuous era, a generation of Jesus-followers would rise up that look neither right nor left for its values but rather up & down. Up to the throne of heaven where Christ sits at the right hand of God & down at the Scriptures & at the gospel of Christ the King.
Jesus is not an abuser.
Jesus is not a racist.
Jesus is not a user.
Jesus is not a liar.
No matter who has preached him to you or represented him to you then proved untrue, Jesus is true.
Faithful.
Holy.
Honorable.
He is Light.
And in him is no darkness.
He is not like us.
"Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
Luke 7:47 NIV
C (14a, ama livros) começou a ler The Scarlet Letter. Eu disse pra A (7a, foge da leitura) que ela tinha que ler um gibi apenas (!) e quem acabasse a leitura 1o, ganhava 1 prêmio. Hoje, quando faltava uns 40 min pra C terminar, A correu, leu o gibi e ganhou. É mole?
O Amazônia1 é o primeiro satélite brasileiro de sensoreamento remoto (observação da Terra). Os primeiros satélites brasileiros, SCD1 e SCD2, em órbita há mais de 20 anos, são “satélites de coleta de dados”. Os satélites CBERS são sino-brasileiros, feitos em parceria com a China.
Uma lição que aprendemos com a tragédia dolorosa do Ravi Zacharias: o púlpito pode revelar a Palavra de Deus, mas não revela o coração de quem prega.
O púlpito não revela tudo. Nem seus livros. Nem suas redes sociais.
Ore pela integridade do seu pastor.
I feel a profound sense of the fear of the Lord, knowing that one day I too will give an account, where like the RZ report, everything done under the shroud of darkness will be made known. Jesus comes to restore justice through judgment. Oh, how I wish Ravi repented here!

"'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31
Rulers of nations have come and gone for 2000 years but the church remains. We did not know all that would befall us 4 years ago nor do we know the times ahead. But the task of the church remains unchanged: to know Christ & make him known. To be salt & light in this time & place.
