The Five Solas Summer Conference in Finland.
Is Calvinism growing in Finland?
This sounds optimistic.

O Father, I pray that my faith will be authentic when my time of trial comes.
Thank you for the heroes of faith who kept doing what the Spirit led them to do, regardless of opposition.
Give our present-day missionaries the wisdom to know when to move to a new place and when to settle in and endure opposition.
Most of all, Lord Jesus, pour out your Spirit with power so that all of us will share the message of Jesus with wisdom, courage, and passion. In your name, O Lord, I pray. Amen.
I am not ashamed of the
Gospel of Christ, because it is
the power of God for the
salvation of everyone who
believes:
first for the Jews, then for the Gentile.
Romans 1:16
The enemy is in-a-me.
Romans 7:24-25
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Jesus Paid it All.
I love seeing our brothers and sisters around the world singing praise to our Savior.

Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (James 4:7)
Draw near to God and blessedness, happiness, and joy is with Him.

What ultimately accounts for the failure of the false prophet to think clearly is the fact that he is deliberately determined to defend himself and to think well of himself.
Pride is the root cause of the trouble.
The view of the false prophet starts with the postulate that whatever else may be the cause of the troubles in life, it is not man himself.
The blessedness, the happiness, the joy is something that will result from our seeking righteousness and from our becoming righteous.

Almighty and gracious God and Father,
we know you are the God of compassion and faithful love.
We know Jesus was a living demonstration of your love for all people.
We beg, we plead, that the animosity of people toward Christians today can be overcome through our acts of genuine and loving compassion demonstrated toward the least, the last, and the lost of our time.
May we be known as people who not only love each other, but also love those whom our world overlooks, shuns, and forgets.
I ask this in Jesus' name and to continue his legacy. Amen. 🙏
With the curtain torn, all the hidden things of the old dispensation became apparent:
The mercy-seat could now be seen, and the glory of God gleaming above it.
By the death of our Lord Jesus we have a clear revelation of God, for He was “not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face.”
Life and immortality are now brought to light, and things that have been hidden since the foundation of the world are displayed in Him.

It is a sad affliction when in our solemn assemblies the brilliance of the Gospel Light is dimmed by error.
The clearness of the testimony is spoiled when doubtful voices are scattered among the people and those who ought to preach the Truth, the whole Truth,
and nothing but the Truth, are preaching doctrines which are the imaginations of men and the inventions of the age!
— C.H. Spurgeon
In the gloom a light glimmers and glows.
We have received an invitation.
We are invited to make a pilgrimage—
into the heart and life of God.
The invitation has long been on public record.
You can hardly look anywhere across the human scene and not encounter it.
It is literally “blowing in the wind.”
A door of welcome seems open to everyone without exception.
No person or circumstance other than our own decision can keep us away.
“Whosoever will may come.”
