Matthew 11:28-30

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

The church is meant to be a hospital for sinners, not a trophy case for saints.

We are in grave danger when the Gospel no longer moves our hearts, compels us to tell others, and alters who we are and who we are becoming.

scripture

 

Ecclesiastes 2:10-11

Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, For my heart rejoiced in all my labor; And this was my reward from all my labor. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done And on the labor in which I had toiled; And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind. There was no profit under the sun.

quote

 

“Blessed are the poor in spirit” means:  “Blessed is the man who has realized his own utter helplessness, and who has put his whole trust in God.”  If a man has realized his own utter helplessness, and has put his whole trust in God, there will enter into his life two things which are opposite sides of the same thing.  He will become completely detached from things, for he will know that things have not got it in them to bring happiness or security; and he will become completely attached to God, for he will know that God alone can bring him help, and hope, and strength.  The man who is poor in spirit is the man who has realized that things mean nothing, and that God means everything.

William Barclay

“Like It, Love It, Need It“

 

Under these circumstances, they can hardly cope
Notice their fleeting glances and their lack of hope
I offer this suggestion, they don’t seem to care-o
This is my generation, drowning in despair-o

You’ll never find peace of mind in your pool of self
You’ll never find peace of mind in a sea of wealth
You’ll never find peace of mind in your rock and roll
You’ll never find peace of mind if you sell your soul
You’ll never find peace of mind in your lucky charm
You’ll never find peace of mind on a hippie farm
You’ll never find peace of mind in a one-night stand
You’ll never find peace of mind in your superman

 

You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need some freedom from the strife
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need some Jesus in your life
[some Jesus in your life, some Jesus in your life]

Like it, love it, need it, don’t leave it
Like it [don’t you like it? ]
Love it, need it [don’t you need it? ]
Don’t leave it

You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need it
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you, God knows you need it

You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need it
Some Jesus in your life
Jesus in your life

Proverbs 3:33-35

The LORD's curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous. He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble. The wise inherit honor, but fools he holds up to shame.

Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.

scripture

 

Ephesians 5:8-14

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

If you were being tried in a court for being a Christian, would your accusers be able to produce enough evidence to convict you? Or would you walk because no evidence could be produced?

Today I met Jimmy

I went to the gas station this morning. As I was washing my windshield a man came around the pump and walked past the back of my truck. He said, God bless you. I thought I had heard right but asked again and then introduced myself. He said that he had noticed my stickers and asked if I was a Christian. My stickers range from America needs Jesus, Love more – Want less, In God We Trust, and Not of This World. From there the conversation started. We stood talking across my truck bed for maybe 15-20 minutes. During that time he shared a bit about himself and how he’d been talking to God as he was driving to the gas station. He has got a lot going on in his life right now and is trying to do the right thing. We encouraged each other and he wants to visit my church this coming Sunday. What a simple thing for God to use to encourage a struggling brother. Stickers.

Aren’t we all just beggars telling other beggars where to find bread?

John 6:32-35

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." "Sir," they said, "from now on give us this bread." Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.”

scripture

 

Proverbs 13:13-16

He who scorns instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command is rewarded.

The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.

Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard.

Every prudent man acts out of knowledge, but a fool exposes his folly.

quote

 

As the Prophet says:  “I am not weary, following thee” (Jeremiah 17:16).  Who can be weary following Jesus?  For he himself says:  “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.”  Let us, then, always follow Jesus and never falter, for if we follow him we never fail because he gives his strength to his followers.  The nearer you are to this strength, the stronger you will be.

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

We did a medivac today for Medair from Kwakhan to Faizabad. We were contacted yesterday middle of the afternoon for this urgent medical flight, so that that lady whose baby had supposedly died in her womb would not also die. When they brought her to the aircraft today, she was not doing well at all. From what I could understand from the conversation, she had been transported across the river days earlier to Tajikistan, where they could not help her. She was then brought back to her village and home to basically die. However, she was then brought into the Medair clinic there, from where they asked us to do this flight.

 

 

 

If you look at the email below, you can see, that the baby is not dead after all. The medical staff told us numerous times, that if we did not help with this flight, the lady would not have made it. However, now I am not so sure what the problem was... at least she is doing better and now she has a son who is still alive, and THAT is the important thing!
