What a privilege to give to this project! May the door stay open wide and longer than expected!

PTL! Against all odds - the doors have opened to print and distribute Bibles in China!
We do not know how long this door will be open, but we thank God for it today. Let us work while it is still day, for the night soon cometh, when no man can work.

Is Facebook using a social scoring system similar to what we have in China?
Yes, it does appear so

Yesterday was a crushing hard day. But at the end we closed in prayer, lifting our needs and concerns to God.

A man posing as a policeman absolutely terrified Ann by telling her lies and making her think they were going to arrest her. After a few hours he got her banking info under the guise of needing to freeze her accounts. He then went into her account and took out loans (in China there is a way to do an instant loan apparently) and took all their money too. We went to the police for help.

You know it’s interesting. Spiritually speaking... as this weekend a young person asked to go to church for the first time, after learning more about God. I don’t think the devil liked that! And then this cruel mean theft.

Anyways, I am posting the PayPal link if anyone would like to give some immediate help -as all money is gone. The police say it would take months probably to get the money back and only 1% of people actually get it back.

Please pray for them.

Does it make sense to pray for guidance about the future if we are not obeying in the thing that lies before us today? How many momentous events in Scripture depended on one person's seemingly small act of obedience! Rest assured: Do what God tells you to do now, and, depend upon it, you will be shown what to do next. -E. Elliot

The real reason why North Korea's food crisis is worse than it seems.

The Gospel is good news. However, for many church-going people, the Gospel WAS good news. Once upon a time, back when they “got saved” it was good news. Today, joy, peace, comfort, security, approval and all sorts of things are sought from much lesser entities than Christ. Media, Money, Pleasure, insurance, man’s approval, etc. Revival begins as soon as we return to the fountain of living water. Jesus is good news for right now. Jesus is good news TODAY. Every other source of strength is an idol.

Let us worship Jesus as the one and only this morning.

ATTACK ON ISRAEL -
🔴 LIVE WITH RABBI MYLES WEISS
https://backtojerusalem.com/podcast/episode-576-update-attack-on-israel-with-rabbi-myles-weiss/

I take great delight in the sovereignty of God.

Sometimes my Calvinist Brother’s and Sisters seem to perceive the Sovereignty of God in a very narrow or negative way (I.e. God is sovereign over who repents and who doesn’t.) But when I think of God’s sovereignty, I think of God’s personal care over me like a good shepherd. The Apostle Paul experiences shepherding like this when he was caught in a storm while imprisoned on a Roman ship. Paul encouraged his frightened ship mates with this prophetic word of comfort:

“Take heart! No lives will be lost—only the ship. Last night, you see, an angel of the God to whom I belong, and whom I worship, stood beside me. ‘Don’t be afraid Paul...God has granted you all your traveling companions.’ So take heart, my friends. I believe God...”
Acts 27:22-23,24-25

The Sovereignty Of God is good news of comfort and peace. God is sovereign over nations and situations today too.

believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
Psalm 27:13-14

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
— John 4:14

Romans 3:20‭-‬24 #TPT
For by the merit of observing the law no one earns the status of being declared righteous before God, for it is the law that fully exposes and unmasks the reality of sin.
But now, independently of the law, the righteousness of God is tangible and brought to light through Jesus, the Anointed One.
This is the righteousness that the Scriptures prophesied would come. It is God’s righteousness made visible through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. And now all who believe in him receive that gift. For there is really no difference between us,
for we all have sinned and are in need of the glory of God.
Yet through his powerful declaration of acquittal, God freely gives away his righteousness. His gift of love and favor now cascades over us, all because Jesus, the Anointed One, has liberated us from the guilt, punishment, and power of sin!
