The gospel is altogether from God’s side, and man contributes nothing to it.🙏
"Salvation is something that comes altogether from God.
And when we put it like that, do we not see very clearly why it is that so many people reject it?
The natural man dislikes the whole idea of revelation. Why?
Because he is wise and prudent, so full of his own intellect and understanding.
He boasts, “I am not going to be treated like a child.
I have it within me and in my own power to arrive at any knowledge that I may desire.”
Revelation gives the lie to that."

A Father's Prayer
Laying awake in the dawn light
Listening to the chorus of birdsong
I am thankful to You Lord
Another day of blessing is in sight
Take me as I am today
Lead me in Your service
Whatever I do or say
Let my light for You be righteous.
Beside me my beloved stirs
Let me be a blessing to her,
To my family a guiding light
Sharing Your Love forever.
It is already Mother's Day in China and I have to say, few things in this world have motivated me to work harder, focus more, and do everything humanly possible in life to be a better man, father, husband and provider than witnessing the miracle of my wife take on the role of a loving nurturing mother.
In this life, I have never witnessed anything more inspiring or more worthy of protecting. If I lived a 100 lives, I could sacrifice them all and still NOT have the impact she has had as a mother.
Happy Mother's Day to my amazing wife!
This week's guest post comes from my brother in Christ, Spaniard VIII

@sinbach Thanks for sharing! I was about to share exactly the same article, but you did it first. This is really alarming and quite shocking. We are talking about Finland, not countries like Sweden, Holland, England… I have followed Päivi for a while, and I haven’t found her behavior or writings provocative, inappropriate or hateful etc. She treats others with respect! She hasn’t used her power as a minister or member of Parliament for any agendas or propaganda… like some leftists. She criticized the State Church (where she is a member) for participating in the Pride parade, in a tweet! And she has expressed her opinions about marriage, when people have asked. She wrote a booklet, for Christians, many years ago, that is scrutinized now. I think she hasn’t even shared it on internet. This is just the mafia method to silence all critical voices!! Her case has already been going on for a couple of years, and she is strong. But pray for Päivi, for righteous outcomes – that justice wins!
#Sunday Sermon for Life
The New Testament says
that the most important question
that we must face is that of Jesus Christ;
for, it tells us, our life in this world here and now,
the whole meaning of death,
and indeed, our life throughout eternity depends entirely
and solely upon our answer to this question:
“Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?”
The New Testament does not hesitate to say that.
Listen to the apostle Peter saying it unequivocally in one of his first recorded sermons: “There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12)—this name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
