Is God with you?
I was a reading a post by a good friend this morning – Alan – over on his blog, Devotional Treasures. He titled it “The folly of doing it your way“. As is his usual approach, there was a scripture at the beginning, which I read, and then he took some time to bring the scripture to life in his ever unique style.
It was taken from the Old Testament (Numbers 14:40-45 NASB), but is still a fairly familiar piece of scripture. I’m not gonna give a summary of it here. Read the scripture for yourself, or, even better, go read Alan’s post!
Anyway, the last half of one verse really jumped out at me this morning:
"Do not go up, or you will be struck down before your enemies, for the Lord is not among you."

"Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule. Let us be of the same mind."
- Phil. 3: 12-14, 16
Let's run the race, "press on towards the goal", together as brothers and sisters!
No matter how far we have come, all that matters is that we're on the same narrow path. 🙏❤
Doing our first tour together next month!

A question to Americans! This childrens choir seems to be Mormon. But it's a well known, Christ centered worship song by Mercy Me. It's beautiful! I have seen other videos by young Mormons - songs written by non Mormon Christians. If it wouldn't have been for their clothings, I hadn't guessed their background. In Finland Mormons have a very bad reputation - it's considered a cult here. That's even my view after all I've heard - that they follow Mormon's book, not the Bible. I have also heard that there are minor shifts going on in theology and practice in Salt Lake City... Is it true? Are there true followers of Christ in LDS or is it impossible to be a member and to only follow Christ, without living under a slave yoke of religious duties and heretical teachings? Is it a cult? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acwsBIl15zM&t=277s
Looking forward to sharing in Sweden today at a church that has been a HUGE supporter for BTJ and has really helped our family in China!

Timothy* grew up as an orphan in North Korea at the time of the 1990s famine. As a teenager, he decided to cross the Tumen River into China in a bid for survival. This is how coming across a safe house, run by Open Doors partners in China, set him on the path to finding Jesus…

Thank all of you for your prayers for our family. losing Debbie left a big hole in our hearts - that only God can fill. praying God brings His comfort to all of us. too many families are losing loved ones due to hospitals denying medicines that could save their lives. our church has lost 5 people to covid in 2
weeks - all were put on ventilators.
these families and our church need prayer
Christians' ability to speak biblical truth is at risk in Finland due to an overly broad hate speech provision in Finnish law. In a stunning case, a Christian member of the Finnish parliament, Päivi Räsänen, has been charged by the Finnish prosecutor general with three counts of "ethnic agitation." Each count relates to Räsänen's respectful expression of her widely-held Christian beliefs.
What......??????
Well I have to say....
This is a first 🤯
