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

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.
--DM Lloyd-Jones

#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
