This, then, is the man God uses. He has but one purpose in life. Every hindrance has been removed, He places himself absolutely at God's disposal. He has learned how to prevail in prayer. He is a student of the Word. He has a vital, living Message for a lost world, He expects results. And he works in the Anointing of the Holy Spirit.

Oswald J Smith

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!

A day in which you decide to spend time with Jesus, is a day well spent. To live a life well lived, you have to decide it every day.

The BTJ Vision and the Chinese Communist Party celebrate 100 years this year.
After 100 years, which has brought more good to China?

My name is Rodney Hine. In 2004 I started using crystal meth to cope with life. In 2006 I was arrested and released on promise to appear. In 2008 I got my girlfriend at the time pregnant. Shortly after I got arrested. This woman fought for me and helped get me out of jail and into treatment. At the end of 2008 our baby was born. Early 2009 we got married. Fall of 2009 I finished treatment and started using again. 2012 I left my wife and son to run the streets and do drugs. 2015 I'm on the brink of suicide when I call out to God to move in my life. Shortly after I entered Adult and Teen Challenge and gave my heart to Jesus. 2016 I graduated the program, my marriage is restored and my family moves 8 hours from home to start a new live with me. 2021 I'm now the Program Manager of the men's center I graduated from.

All glory to the one who saved me and gave me a new heart. Never lose hope, God can do anything.

By putting our faith in Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death on our behalf, by letting Him bear the guilt of our sin, and by receiving, by faith, His righteousness, which is imputed to us, we are justified. In that righteousness, I can face God, death, and eternity without a tremor, without fear.

“Whatever may be the explanation it is a mere matter of history that Churches rise or fall by their attitude toward Jesus Christ.” -J.C. Carlile (biographer Of Spurgeon)

It may seem like a no-brainer, but this statement is very profound. The “attitude” toward Jesus is the seriousness with which we take His words and the reverence we show for His demands. The Church will not be preserved by a trendy Jesus but by the Jesus who is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. He is the foundation of the entire structure.

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

HEBREWS 4:13
