🙏Urgent Prayers Needed 🙏
guys, as soon as I arrived back in Dubai, I had several messages from our team in North Korea.
They are begging for food and supplies. Things are REALLY bad right now inside North Korea.
I will be posting more details soon, but for now.... pls pray.
WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER
@LukoseGeorge @sinbach yes, that is what the book of Genesis teaches. If you have any questions about this or would like to talk about this further, let me know! Always happy to have a conversation about this!
@KarlGessler it’s a really interesting topic and I don’t have all the answers. It is true that historically, when churches are allowed to operate “freely”, usually the quality and depth of the Christian’s faith decreases... we get soft and lose our urgency for teaching the lost. Persecution keeps us on our toes and strengthens our faith in amazing ways. That being said, I don’t welcome persecution by any means, and I don’t wish it on myself or my family. So what is the answer then?
And what is the difference between freedom of religion and freedom of speech? @sinobach has spoken recently on the importance of defending freedom of speech because Satan operates by silencing and isolating Christians. We must always speak the Truth. Can freedom of speech exist when freedom of religion does not? Do we fight to defend freedom of speech, freedom of religion, or both? I don’t have all the answers. These are the things I am thinking through. Thanks for commenting!
“You say, “Well, doesn’t the church need freedom of religion to move forward?” No. In no way does any political law aid or hinder the church of Jesus Christ. We are a separate kingdom. Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world My servants would fight.”
We would fight if the kingdom were of the world to make sure we got our space in the world. But this is not a kingdom that is part of this world, this is a kingdom of another world. The church does not need help from Washington or any other government.”
-Pastor John MacArthur
@sinbach it won’t be long before the government is telling us to wrap our faces in Saran Wrap at all times... 🙄🙄
@mayahb Satan has always been a murderer and a liar. He simply repackages the same lies in a slightly different format for every new generation and culture.
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. - John 8:44
Liberal or Progressive Christianity is a serious threat to the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. Here are some of the common beliefs found in these types of churches:
1) there is no Hell
2) there is a Heaven and pretty much everyone goes there
3) the Bible contains flaws and while it can be useful for advice, it is not authoritative
4) some of the authors of the Bible were prejudiced and therefore we cant trust their writings (e.g. Paul was sexist)
5) God created some people gay or lesbian or transgender, and their lifestyles are pleasing to God
6) we can’t really know what God expects from us (a kind of false humility)
7) Love is love (love is the highest virtue which has unlimited meanings, each unique to the individual)
8) moral relativism
9) humans are inherently good
10) you are not responsible for your sins, but you may be responsible for the sins of someone that has the same skin color as you
If you attend a church that teaches some or all of these beliefs, study the Scriptures!
@sinbach “Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.”
Timely message for Christians in America.
I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. - Psalm 119:11
Memorizing God’s Word has a profound impact in standing strong when tempted to sin. If you do not know God’s Word in your heart, you literally are weaponless when the enemy attacks. But when you have memorized Scripture, you have powerful weapons you can use to defeat temptation. Committing God’s Word to memory, and then deploying those verses in the moment of battle, is the strategy to rejecting temptation to sin!

A shallow understanding of God’s Word leads to a “woke” theology that pleases man and not God.
For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ. - Galatians 1:10
Christian, discipline yourself to read and study God’s Word every day!
My husband left this earth on Saturday morning, died in his sleep 💔With a broken heart that only my Savior will be able to mend—- my best friend & husband (31yrs married). He was healthy. But he had an abnormal rare heart rhythm issue for many years. I thought we would grow old together. He was an example of God’s love to all who knew him. Because of him I could believe that God would love me forever. Right now my mind can’t comprehend my future without him. I appreciate your prayers.
