A very challenging and moving post on continued prayer

@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.

#peace
“Peace if possible, truth at all costs.”
-Martin Luther
Jesus says: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27
Christ’s peace is His gift to all who abide in Him. Therefore, it is available to us when we are in circumstances of being least likely to feel at peace.
The short essay I list here is one we wrote that discusses this very subject.
Here is our review of a #Bible commentary on the book of #Ruth which shows us why we recommend it: http://bit.ly/2QtiCK6

@farmerjohn Amen! Thank you.
#prayer
Jesus, please inspire, motivate, lead, and confirm your work to reach all people in our day.
We long to see more and more people accept you as Lord, be baptized, and be filled with your Spirit.
Please renew in our day the movement of the Holy Spirit to empower us as witnesses and tear down walls that stand in the way of people coming to you.
In your name, I pray

This week in Egypt, terrorists posted a video showing the execution of three people. One of them was 62-year-old Coptic Christian, Nabil El-Habashy.
His crime? Helping to rebuild a church.
