PRAISE THE LORD!!!!
Thank you so much for your message! Praying that many others will watch too either alone or together with their families. ๐ ๐ ๐
@Susan, our family has been so blessed by this wonderful retelling of the classic story. Portrayed with such a wonderful understanding of Christ and the Gospel. Thanks for sharing here on DD.
For the DD Family and Friends, you can watch the wonderful animated PILGRIMS PROGRESS movie for free by going to this link:
https://www.revelationmedia.com/watchpilgrims/
When you register, there's a drop-down box where you can choose to view it in the language of your choice. It is put out by RevelationMedia. I pray that you will be blessed and edified! ๐
Lord willing, it will be viewed in Bulgaria in the next few weeks.
excerpt from dotheword.org:
"400 Russian Baptist and Pentecostal church and seminary leaders went well beyond calling for prayers for peace in an open letter earlier this month entitled โAppeal to Compatriotsโ. The full text of the appeal, which was posted briefly on the website of a small Christian publishing company in St. Petersburg before being removed, apparently voluntarily, follows:
........
"Dear compatriots!
Our army is conducting full-scale military operations in another country, dropping bombs and rockets on the cities of our neighboring Ukraine. As believers, we assess what is happening as a grave sin of fratricide โ the sin of Cain, who raised his hand against his brother Abel.".........
Here's the link for the article where you can read the full letter from the Russian pastors. (The letter is toward the end of the article): This is the website for Voice of the Martyrs Korea.
Here is another excellent commentary/exhortation given by Joel Richardson who works in tandem with faimission.org
This message is titled, "A Western Christian Response to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine".
I'm going to post some links to excellent commentary on Ukraine from faimission.org
They are discussing in depth different aspects of the current situation. I just listened to this commentary given by Dalton Thomas of faimission.org titled, "What About the Neo-Nazis in Ukraine?" Now I finally understand that situation and wanted to share it for anyone who is interested.
@Susan This place is awesome
Thank you Andy! Much love to you and Jo and the BB Family as well as to all of my DD brothers and sisters! ๐
Hi Alan,
Love this devotional! Love the Gif!
Dear Lord, please help us to abide in You and stay constantly connected to the Vine, so that we never become like driftwood!
In Jesus' precious name I pray, AMEN.
A pastor from my discipleship school in CO has given a great definition of "abide": to refuse to depart. ๐๐๐
@Susan @Berrybunchfamily Amen to the above!
All praise and glory to our Lord!!! Thank you for letting me know! ๐
Thank you for your kind words too Andy! Love and blessings in our Lord to you & Jo and your family!
Hi again Andy, thank you for your message. I knew you would agree! Excerpting from your message and inserting '(you)': "I want (you) to know that no matter what (you) are going through, whoever (you) are, irrespective of what (you) have done, there is a Hope that can overcome all of those things.". This can be used for any publicity for the book - whether on social media - even in your church family. God's blessings to you and your family!
@Susan super encouraging Thankyou.
I agree - numbers aren't the goal here! I just want people to know that no matter what they are going through, whoever they are, irrespective of what they have done, there is a hope that can overcome all of those things.
Your prayers are very much in line with prayers from another faithful sister!!
I'm overwhelmed by your kind comments, and encouragement.
Thank you
Andy B
Sorry for the message
disappearance. - I was editing. ๐
Sinner saved by grace. Christ in me, the Hope of Glory!!! Like Richard & Sabina Wurmbrand, I was Jewish-born but not practicing. Former Buddhist nun. The Lord delivered me out of darkness and I was born again at age 55 (am 67 now). I live in California. On Christ the Solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand - all other ground is sinking sand. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." 2Co 5:17
