If I need to seek counsel from a Christian, or want to listen to good teachings, I don't look for those whose only goal is a platform and a big audience (either in real life or online). Of course there are humble servants of God who have big audiences, but it's about their focus and the state of their hearts. I've noticed that I after a whole life in the Christian world look for people that are bearers of the Lord's presence (because their minds are focused on him), that have "no names or titles". Why would a narcissistic leader, whose main goal is to make himself a name, really care about us, normal people, with compassion? Of course they can give counsel as a part of their visible ministry. I know a few Christian leaders personally that I can email/message or call when I'm in need or have questions. I know that they care for real. I don't need to be a part of the same church for them to care. These people are rare, even if it's the NT way of leading. They have real, authentic relatio

DAY TWENTY SIX:
Reaching the Gulags
(30 Days of Prayer for North Korea)

In the West, it has been talked about in the congregations, daily devotionals etc., that it's just like "we take a pill from the medical cabinet" for our daily need, and then there is a sermon about that topic and discussions.

In other places, they literally need PILL BIBLES, pill-sized, motion-powered (!) Holographic Bibles to get the message out, this is what I call innovation and EAGERNESS to SHARE and, in many ways "devour" the word of God! (It CAN actually be swallowed, it was made like that! And it is motion-powered... wow... listen here:)

THE ROUTINE RUT
A.W. Tozer 1897-1963
“The treacherous enemy facing the church of Jesus Christ today is the dictatorship of the routine, when the routine becomes "lord" in the life of the church. Programs are organized and the prevailing conditions are accepted as normal. Anyone can predict next Sunday's service and what will happen. This seems to be the most deadly threat in the church today. When we come to the place where everything can be predicted and nobody expects anything unusual from God, we are in a rut. The routine dictates, and we can tell not only what will happen next Sunday, but what will occur next month and, if things do not improve, what will take place next year. Then we have reached the place where what has been determines what is, and what is determines what will be.”

My grandfather recently passed away and it's been so nice to go back through old photos and old memories. For 40 years he would walk up to the local hospital every Tuesday and sit and pray with the sick people who had no visitors. Almost nobody knew he did this, but he served God humbly and obeyed Him quietly. There is no greater joy than knowing he is now experiencing the hope of salvation ❤️
