The flooding in China is crazy!
It is going to impact China in many ways! Many people are missing! Many people have drowned, as most Chinese do not know how to swim. There are people crying out for help to find their loved ones! Entire Farms have been washed away! Apparently millions of livestock have drowned or been basically standing in flood waters unable to eat for days! This will once again create a lack of food! Entire crops gone! Entire livelihoods washed away! We will be looking at price increases for food here once again! At the beginning to Covid they went high but have been slowly coming back down......but this will once again change things!
Chinese Christians are banding together and helping in the most beautiful sacrificial ways! It brings me to tears as I hear reports of brothers and sisters racing to the flood frontlines to help!
this small video is nearby where we live and it is nothing compared to Henan flooding! Our friend sent it....
@MaryMamuzich @Olamide Love that - totally agree. Surely the only way we can have the mind of Christ is if our minds are renewed
@Berrybunchfamily I was sat listening, enjoying what you were saying, and then you started talking about faith into action and then I REALLY enjoyed it 😁 Huge topic covered really well in only a short time. Thought it was great
@mensajero I'm losing my mind over this. I see 11 and can't for the life of me find the 12th 🤦🏻♀️
@Berrybunchfamily This was great Andy! Loved it! You should listen to @Olamide more often 😉
Welcome everyone!

My wife and I are in CHRIST JESUS and HE's been our guide for many years through many dark times. Most of which are our own doing. Our adult daughter has cancer and is terminal. She loves THE LORD YSHUA and knows where she is going when HE calls her home. Our youngest son is severely mentally ill and is hospitalized at the writing of this message. All we are asking is for GOD's mercy and grace to be poured out upon our two children fighting for their lives. Please pray for Christina and Christopher.
@Toddkapper I actually totally agree! I remember seeing a series of sermons from Francis Chan years ago, where for several weeks he pulled these kinds of scriptures and talked about them with his church. Stuff you NEVER usually hear from a pulpit. It was uncomfortable and... refreshing at the same time, if that's possible 🤔

The next generation is needed!
A self paced mission course for teens and tweens! Learn about missions and learn how they can get involved now. They can do it at home and at their own pace.

@zephan I love stories like this. Thanks for sharing!
@Berrybunchfamily I'll look forward to it!
@Berrybunchfamily yeah thankfully it wasn't in person. It was a speaker from a well known church whose message I watched online. Seems to be something of a trend these days sadly
@Berrybunchfamily Maybe you could do a dedicated episode to it one day? I'd enjoy hearing your take

@Berrybunchfamily Loved the point you made here about reverence. It's interesting - I've been thinking about it a lot lately after hearing so many sermons on YouTube which swing so far in the opposite direction. Heard a message last week where they referred to the Holy Spirit as "fun and silly"... really hit a nerve with me. There HAS to be a balance somewhere. Anyway, appreciated your video (as always)!
@Olamide I'm a little sad we didn't get to hear you do a dramatic reading of that to be honest

1 John 1:5-7 #TPT
This is the life-giving message we heard him share and it’s still ringing in our ears. We now repeat his words to you: God is pure light. You will never find even a trace of darkness in him.
If we claim that we share life with him, but keep walking in the realm of darkness, we’re fooling ourselves and not living the truth.
But if we keep living in the pure light that surrounds him, we share unbroken fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, continually cleanses us from all sin.
