"More recently, Jacob has been the target of Canadian authorities because he has refused to comply with draconian lockdown orders in Ontario. After several weeks of non-compliance, Jacob and the other elders were facing the possibility of more than $10 million dollars in fines and possible jail time. You can read about these penalties at the Trinity Bible Chapel website.
As of today, Jacob and the other elders have been convicted of contempt of court, and they are awaiting sentencing from the judge."
Holy men after the heart of God are more needed nowadays than ever!

#Christianity #Worldview
Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy. And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
— James 3:13-18
Dear Father God, lead me each day to surrender my life and motives to your inspection, search me, correct me and guide me in Your will always, Amen.
Our Lord’s disciples are to be sent to evangelize the world. How are they to do it?
What is the first thing to consider?
You notice what our Lord puts first: It is sanctification:
“Sanctify them, for the work needs to be done in them before it can ever be done in the world.”
There is nothing that appalls me so much as the almost incredible way in which Christian people seem to ignore entirely the teaching of the Scriptures with regard to methods of evangelism.
In the Scriptures from beginning to end, the emphasis is on the messenger, not his external methods.
It is on his character and his being and on his relationship to God.
John 17:18

URGENT:
Urgent. Pray right away. I (mom) woke up to find Joshua laying beside me - in the middle of a seizure. His don’t shake. Instead he loses body control and can’t move or talk and his heart races etc. so they are basically silent with zero movement. And dangerous because of his type. Christina rushed to take over care of him while I went and mixed the emergency meds. Time is important.
We have given him his emergency medication. And see some small improvement already. But please pray if you see this.🥺🥺🥺🥺
Happy Sunday! ❤️ This Sunday morning I'm sat in church in total freedom... a full worship team on stage, the room full of people and the Word is being preached with no restriction. As I'm sat here, I can't help but think of our brothers and sisters around the world today who are totally unable to experience that same freedom. I pray I never become so distracted by my own comfort that my heart forgets to keep them in constant prayer.
This past week, more than a dozen Christians were arrested in China's latest house church raid. Keep the church and its members in your prayers 🙏🏼

The church and the Christian and the gospel are not so much concerned about removing the occasions for sin as removing from man the desire to sin.
“I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil…. Sanctify them” (John 17:15, 17).
Our Lord is saying in effect, “I am not so concerned that You should take the occasion for sin away, but that You should take out of the man the desire to take advantage of the occasion.”
Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The Gospel of Jesus Christ does not so much take the Christian out of the world as take the desires of the world out of the Christian.

“These young people in China get it. Despite persecution (real persecution, as in, some of their leaders and peers have been jailed for their Christian faith), they meet secretly in underground discipleship classes. Please pray that these young people will be used to transform society and expand the Kingdom of God in China and beyond” #WithinReachGlobal
