@Lindseyay @Knittinggrace My response wasn't meant as an attack and I apologize if it felt that way. Sometimes the tone or heart behind text can be lost in this type of communication. Add to that the differing cultures and life experiences and it can be easy to have a misunderstanding. I do enjoy clean humor and I don't claim to have mastered the art of parenting. I do however believe that honesty in relationships is very important, including the parental relationship. There may be times when not all the details need to be included or when special tact is needed depending on a child's level of understanding. There are so many unique and individual circumstances. However, I've witnessed how easy it can be for parents to use untruths as an easy way out. Often, the truth could have been quite simple to have used instead. Being truthful with my children is a passion of my heart. We enjoy imagination, but from little up have talked of the difference between what's real and what is fiction.
@mensajero It looks delicious!

@danielgray Father you reveal yourself to those Buddhist seekers from Thas iland, Vietnam, Combodia, Indonesia, Nepal, Bhutan, Srilanka and Myanmar, in Jesus Name.
@Knittinggrace @Lindseyay Agreed. My husband and I want our children to know that we will tell them the truth. We want them to be able to trust us from the very beginning. Some children are devastated when they discover they were lied to, while others seem to be unaffected. I wonder though if it has more of an impact than what is clearly seen. These "white lies" can put an un-necessary stumbling block in front of them when it comes to the truth of God's Word. Are the miracles real? Or are they imaginary like Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy? If my parent lied to me to manipulate my behavior at 2 years old, are they doing it still when I'm a teenager, just with different lies? Are the things my friends do really that dangerous? Or are my parents just trying to convince me to do what's socially acceptable and makes them look good to their friends, etc?

Drastic Lockdowns here in China due to the Delta variant!
Millions of tests, People have to stay in their homes ( and that means homes..... only medical exceptions allowed out), and so on!
Communities are once again building walls and fences and guards standing 24 hours a day!
And yes our family will be affected. As to what degree....? that is just being decided here in Beijing...

"They say that societal collapse could happen in various forms, including economic collapse, worsening climate catastrophe, a pandemic worse than COVID-19, or another mass extinction event, which the researchers say is already underway." What does the last phrase mean? This is a strange article.

Wanted to shout out a recent podcast episode from @Cmarquis and Nathan. They highlighted some pretty major statistics:
61% of Christians have never shared their faith
42% of the world still live in unreached people groups
There are 900 churches and 78,000 evangelical Christians for every one unreached people group
51% of church attendees in the US were unfamiliar with the term 'Great Commission'
Here's the podcast if you want to give it a listen: https://forgeforward.org/blog/2021/07/13/episode-84-fresh-god-stories-from-the-field/

Calling out 'unconventional resources and people ' to stand with people of God who proclaim the Good News (Salvation through Jesus) John 3:16.
Praying for Pharoah's daughters who will pay spiritual Jochebed's to bring up Moseses.
Rahab's in every country, who will tie Scarlet cords and open their windows for the Gospel spies to escape and conquer nations.

@moamfj Amen!
Father, help us to focus on you and remember that you are in control.
It is our disobedience that is causing the delay in taking over the land, you have promised us, we confess
Open our eyes, ears and hearts to see chariots of fire ... and to recognize the present season's Cyrus, Esther, Mordecai, Ezra, Rahab and Jochebed.

Philippians 3:12-14 #TPT
I admit that I haven’t yet acquired the absolute fullness that I’m pursuing, but I run with passion into his abundance so that I may reach the purpose for which Christ Jesus laid hold of me to make me his own.
I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead.
I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus.

@mensajero Praying for Bhutan.
May the Lord protect new believers.
The Church of Bhutan may rise as one body and destroy the works of the devil.
We break the curse of poverty and witchcraft that is affecting the frontline disciples.
We come against hoarding and nepotism eithin the Body of Christ .
We speak abundance ( John 10:10) and Life upon the Nation.
In Jesus Name!
