Gratitude Can Be Hard HENRI J. M. NOUWEN Gratitude is not a simple emotion or an obvious attitude. It is a difficult discipline to constantly reclaim my whole past as the concrete way in which God has led me to this moment and is sending me into the future. It is hard precisely because it challenges me to face the painful moments – experiences of rejection and abandonment, feelings of loss and failure – and gradually to discover in them the pruning hands of God purifying my heart for deeper love, stronger hope, and broader faith.

Looking for Spiritual Fruit Spirit-filled believers demonstrate stability, joy, and resilience, even in difficult circumstances. October 29, 2022 Galatians 5:16-26 As believers, we all want the fruit of the Spirit. Yet even unbelievers can sometimes display these qualities, so how can we know if ours are truly from Him? It’s important to realize that the fruit of the Spirit is not something we do; it’s who we are. And these nine admirable qualities are often most evident in us when circumstances are difficult. Here are two characteristics to help us recognize these traits in our life: Fruitful believers are not controlled by their environment. Everybody experiences trials and pain, but those who are filled with the Spirit don’t lose His fruit because of their situations. They keep their joy even when life is hard. Because the Holy Spirit is in control, He is free to produce His fruit no matter what the circumstances are. Fruitful Christians recover quickly after a fall. These believ...

Psalm 105:4 “Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore.” “What does it mean to seek the face of the Savior? Surely it means more than just recognizing His picture. Christ’s invitation to seek Him is an invitation to know who He is, what He has done for us, and what He has asked us to do. Coming to Christ, and eventually seeing His face, comes only as we draw close to Him through our faith and our actions. It comes through a lifetime of effort.” —Sister Cheryl C. Lant

What We Can't Not Know – Pete Garcia - https://www.rev310.net/post/what-we-can-t-not-know Professor and author Dr. J. Budziszewski, wrote a masterful book titled, What We Can't Not Know. In it, he challenges the modern assumptions that moral truths have somehow become unknowable. He argues that since moral truths are grounded in natural law, and thus, ingrained in human nature, we can regain some confidence in them while traversing through this perplexing age of postmodernism and cultural relativism. I would argue that as believers, and moreover, as watching believers, we should have even more confidence given what we know, and can't not know, that the nearness of the Lord's return, is indeed, at hand. I know, I know, men have been attempting to predict when the Lord would return now for millennia. Every conceivable calculation, astronomical alignment, geopolitical arrangement, and technological advancement have been scrutinized and theorized against the Holy Bi...

Daily Devotion: The Most Important Tablets of All - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands. —Exodus 20:6 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/the-most-important-tablets-of-all/ - Listen Tablets are so much a part of our lives today. We read our emails on them, follow social media on them, and watch movies on them. Well, God had the original tablets—and a tech company didn’t make them. He gave them to Moses, engraved with His words by His very finger. We call them the Ten Commandments. At little more than three hundred words in English, the Ten Commandments form the foundation of the legal system and are at the heart of Western civilization. Most people acknowledge that the Ten Commandments are important and are true, but very few people know the Ten Commandments. A recent survey revealed that only 14 percent of Americans could name the Ten Commandments. If can remember detai...

Daily Jot: Daily Jot: The fight against liberty - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com Now more than any time in the history of the United States the citizens’ rights to freedom of religion and speech are not only under attack, but in danger. The Founding Fathers knew that unless there was freedom of religion, freedom of speech and freedom to peaceably assemble that a nation falls into tyranny. In most every instance when a dictator seizes power, these freedoms are revoked. Today in America, the government, the legacy news media and powerful corporations are working together to take these rights away from YOU. An example of people who are standing up to this attack on your rights is the lawsuit by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry. Filed May 5 in the US District Court in Louisiana, the 86-page report accuses top government officials of conspiring to suppress information with social media giants Meta, Twitter and YouTube “under the guise...

18 Signs That Food Shortages Will Get A Lot Worse As We Head Into The Second Half Of 2022 - by Michael Snyder - http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/18-signs-that-food-shortages-will-get-a-lot-worse-as-we-head-into-the-second-half-of-2022/ If you think that things are bad now, just wait until we get into the second half of this year. Global food supplies have already gotten very tight, but it is the food that won’t be produced during this current growing season in the northern hemisphere that will be the real problem. Worldwide fertilizer prices have doubled or tripled, the war in Ukraine has greatly reduced exports from one of the key breadbaskets of the world, a nightmarish bird flu pandemic is wiping out millions of chickens and turkeys, and bizarre weather patterns are absolutely hammering agricultural production all over the planet. I have often used the phrase “a perfect storm” to describe what we are facing, but even that phrase really doesn’t seem to do justice to the crisis ...

PayPal Sneakily Adds $2,500 Draconian Fines For ‘Misinformation’ Back To It’s Terms Of Service A little over 2 weeks ago, PayPal made an announcement that the company planned on “fining” users $2,500 for spreading so-called “misinformation.” Eventually the company wiped the whole initiative due to furious users and plummeting stock. But as people pointed out on Wednesday, it appears PayPal is quietly bringing those $2,500 fines back.

Daily Prayer for October 28 CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH BLUMHARDT Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High, and call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me. Psalm 50:14–15, NIV Dear Father in heaven, we want to praise you together and to thank you with all our hearts for your goodness and your deliverance from our many needs. Accept our thanks, and help us go on our way with ever joyful hearts. Make us ready for whatever you have prepared for us, your children. Bless us in our individual lives and bless us in our community. Let your Spirit shed its rays into all places to comfort people's hearts and to restore and strengthen their faith. May your name be praised forevermore. Amen.

Early Christian Expectation DAVID BENTLEY HART There had been divisions among Christians even in the apostolic era; the New Testament bears plenteous witness to this reality – so much so that the reader can easily get the impression that division was far more common than unity among the early Christian communities … The differences had always been there, and in many respects were more or less as old as the faith itself; but for most of the time they were scarcely noticed, since the guiding concern of most Christians was not some perennial wisdom or immemorial doctrine handed down from the past, but rather the rapid approach of the Kingdom of God, the Age to Come, and the final advent of Christ as Lord of all things. Apocalyptic expectation – an eager certainty of the imminence of the full and final revelation of God’s truth in a restored and glorified cosmos – and not dogmatic purity was the very essence of faithfulness to the Gospel. Christianity entered human history not as a new c...

What Is the Spirit-Filled Life? As we surrender to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we are transformed. October 28, 2022 Ephesians 5:18-21 God wants all of His children to be filled with the Spirit, but many of us aren’t sure what this means. While every believer is indwelt by God’s Spirit, the extent of His rule is determined by our obedience. Try thinking of it as a voluntary choice to surrender to the Holy Spirit’s control—to be sensitive to His leadership and guidance, obedient to His promptings, and dependent upon His strength. Those who have surrendered to the Spirit’s leadership are continually being transformed into Christ’s likeness, but the degree of surrender determines the level of transformation. Even though good works and faithful service come from the Spirit, they’re not automatically signs that we are fully yielded to Him. Remember, the surrender we’re talking about involves character, not simply our actions. Serving in some manner can sometimes be easier than lo...

Collapse Of a Christian Worldview By Parents Has Infected Next Generation – George Barna - https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=5345 "Kids these days" are shaped by watching their parents. That's the takeaway from the Cultural Research Center (CRC) at Arizona Christian University's latest survey. "Young children are watching their parents. They're listening to their parents, and they're trying to put those two things together," said George Barna, CRC Director and FRC Senior Research Fellow for the Center for Biblical Worldview. "The problem is, they're seeing a contradiction between word and deed. The conclusion we discovered that children draw is, 'what a shame. My parents seem as confused as I am. So, this faith that they're talking about must not have the answers.'" The statistics are appalling. Among American parents of children under age 13, only two percent have a biblical worldview,...

The Recipe for an Explosion on the Temple Mount: Israel and the Palestinians Live in Parallel Worlds - Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser - https://jcpa.org/the-recipe-for-an-explosion-on-the-temple-mount-israel-and-the-palestinians-live-in-parallel-worlds/ The events around the Temple Mount and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, with the growing tension between Israel and the Palestinians, largely reflect the completely different ways the two sides view the reality around the mount, particularly Israel’s actions there. That disparity stems from different perceptual frameworks. In the Israeli perceptual framework, Israel is a state that seeks stability and is committed to the status quo on the Temple Mount, to the freedom of worship for all religions in Jerusalem, and to maintaining public order. However, the status quo is challenged by extremist groups from both sides, and Israel is taking the necessary measures to prevent them from undermining stability, including using reasonable force.

Running Out of Time - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2022/05/08/running-out-of-time-by-daymond-duck-2/ On Apr. 25, 2022, All News Pipeline (ANP) posted an article by Stefan Stanford about the string of fires at U.S. food processing facilities. Stanford believes these fires will add to food shortages in the U.S. He said, “We’re running out of time to prep as we’re still, fortunately, able to do now.” I agree with what Stanford said, but here are some of my thoughts when I read it: Christians are running out of time to get the gospel out, reach lost loved ones, give, serve, lay-up treasure in heaven, etc. Cold and lukewarm Church members are running out of time to get saved and go to heaven. Those that have heard the gospel, refused to believe it, accept Jesus, and repent of their sins, are running out of time to get saved before they are struck with strong delusion. Church members that could attend Church but aren’t are running out of time to get star...

Christians Have Rights Too :: By Sean Gooding Published on: May 8, 2022 by RRadmin7 Category:General Articles, Sean Gooding Acts 16:16-24, 35-40, Acts 22:22-29 (NKJV) “Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. 17 This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, ‘These men are the servants of the Highest God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.’ 18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, ‘I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.’ And he came out that very hour. 19 But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities. 20 And they brought them to the magistrates, and said, ‘These men, being Jews, exceedingly trouble our city; 21 and they teach customs which are not lawful for us, being Romans,...
