Abraham
"did not doubt or waver in unbelief
concerning the promise of God,
but he grew strong and empowered by faith, giving glory to God,
being fully convinced that
God had the power to do
what He had promised".

Romans 4:20‭-‬21

A comment made by @sinbach :
Karen Kruse good question! Perhaps our talking points are moved more by secular media than we Christians want to admit? If the news talks about riots in DC, does the church not follow and also talk about riots in DC? If the news talks about BLM, does the church not also begin discussing BLM? The news doesn't talk about Nigeria, so the church doesn't talk about Nigeria. That is not easy to admit, because it leads to deeper concerns - like - What if the modern church is influenced by the secular world than just mere talking points? Perhaps if we see how greatly our talking points are influenced, we would also have to admit other spheres of influence like maybe our world view, our theology, our missiology, our idea of Love, hell, justice - have all been skewed because of the influence that the world has on our lives.

Children at Christian schools are being targeted.
Why aren't we hearing about it?
1,000 children have been abducted this year alone.
Why aren't we hearing about it?
More Christians were killed in Nigeria last year by Muslim gunmen than any other place in the world.
Why aren't we hearing about it?
I am doing a podcast with our Nigerian partner Olamide Olly Dawson today to learn more about what is happening and how we can raise the awareness with the Christian Body. NIGERIA - YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.

Praying family, I just found out my cousin's daughter was just diagnosed with the same condition (teratoma) that my daughter had. She is almost 8 years old. Please pray for her and for her family as well. My 10 year old daughter is continuing to recover at an amazing speed. It's truly an answer to prayer and blessing from our Heavenly Father. We are so grateful!

Hate speech laws don't take away the hate in anyone's heart.
Laws can limit the words a heart may speak, but only the gospel can change it.

100 years ago the Chinese Communist Party launched an effort to erase God from the land of China.
Hint: THEY FAILED

Our daughter's surgery was just completed, but they're doing tap blocks and getting her out of anesthesia, so it's another 45 min or so until we see her. Your continued prayers are appreciated. They are sending some additional findings to pathology. But, God has been so faithful. We trust they will all be benign.

This storm looks freaky! I think I have seen movies about Exodus that had scenes likes this....but this ain't Hollywood.
As China's persecution of Christians increases - we are also seeing some freaky acts of mother nature.
Do you think that there is a connection between the two or is this merely a coincidence?

We are on our way to the hospital for our daughter's surgery. May God be praised and glorified!
