I just spoke to a friend in France. Macron has mandated the vaccine for all and a passport system. Consequences of disobedience include complete isolation, cannot go buy food or assemble.
Some people on both sides are protesting and getting violent.
Some Christians dont know what to do, and fear is prevalent.
Let's pray for France!
I'll be going there in August.

Well, it's time to get going! Not all the countries I want to go to are open yet, and it's a bit inconvenient, but I'll go where doors are open, and where I have good relationships.
Obedience opens doors.

Considering all the prophesies, conspiracies, real news, fake news, raising awareness, fear mongering, truths, and lies we are bombarded with daily... And if it's true that the proverbial poo is about to hit the fan...
I rarely hear any practical advice about what to DO, except pray and vote.

We really simply go on with life without changing much. "As it was in the days of Noah... marrying and giving in marriage... until the door of the ark was shut... so shall it be when the Son of Man returns."
How about... "owe no man anything but to love"
"Work while it is day.."
"Redeem the time for the days are evil"
How do we apply those practically?
Should we be bringing children into this world if we really believe it is, or soon will be, so bad?
Or do we not really believe it and we just add to the noise?
Thoughts?

discipleship @sinbach
I have recently been introduced to DMM, DBS, and T4T methods. It is said these methods are the primary reason for the growth of the underground church in China. Is it true? Do Chinese missionaries also use these as well in the areas BTJ?

I'm probably way late to the game on this... but this could come in handy for some people in some countries that need to hide their Bible app..

Wearing my new BJT hat during devotional set at my local house of prayer. They dont allow gum, but I smuggled some in. 😎 πŸ˜†

@sinbach Just finished reading "The 6 Lies.." πŸ˜‚ should be mandatory reading in Bible schools!

All those points are reasons that I am self supporting. I work and save, then send and go. No need to exaggerate. No newsletters, or judgments. Just keep genuine relationships for accountability and encouragement. Pray and obey.

Next book... "The 6 lies indigenous leaders tell Westerners. "

1) you're my only supporter ** one church had 5 different sign boards for photo ops as needed**πŸ˜†
2) there are no other churches around **of their particular denomination**
3) we're planting a church in every village **on paper only**
4) there are no churches around **church buildings... home groups dont count unless it is theirs**
5) I have #### churches under my care
6) I am caring for #### orphans

"Westerners... we can do it faster, better, cheaper than you. STAY home. Send money. We'll provide photos. We know you like photos."

Just read an article about the Yemen crisis.
So... Iran and Saudi can send weapons but they cant send food?
Yemen is the poorest country in the ME.. not far from some of the richest.

My new favorite band! MIQEDEM
Great musicians from Israel singing the Psalms in Hebrew!
Check them out on Youtube

There are too many things to be concerned about. A human being, as much as he/she may want to, CANNOT actively care about everything wrong in the world. We simply dont have the capacity. We cant give to every need or even feel passionate about it.
We can pray, but most of the time, that is all we can do. If our Father leads us to be more intimately involved in a certain cause or need, then of course, we obey.
I'm personally involved in church planting, Bible schools, children's homes, and such in the 10/40. But I dont expect everyone to jump on board with the same things in the same places.
"Cast your cares upon Him, for He cares for you."
Pray and obey. Leave the rest to God.

I went to reSurge website, but no live broadcast that I see... was hoping to join @sinbach

All humans have some kind of fear due to upbringing, environment, beliefs, etc... What is "cautious preparation" for one is "irrational fear" to another.

Then we criticize each other for "negligence" or "over-reaction."

We all have to mitigate our individual fears.
Some wear masks, some wear guns. Some buy insurance, some buy gold. Some "take a stand" on social media, some prefer to switch platforms.

I grew up with a fear of having children. So I mitigated that fear at age 20. Irrational or smart?

What's the difference? Fear is fear.

Someone has counted 365 "do not fear(s)" in the Bible. How does that play out in our daily lives?

Will someone please explain?
Why do churches keep the lights dim or off? Are they trying to set a romantic mood? Keep us from being able to see our own Bibles? To create a "show" atmosphere? Really... I dont get it.
Are they trying to make up for their lack of genuine anointing and family with a Sunday morning show?
Sorry... maybe it's just me.
