Kid's Kamp

Well, we had a good week of camp. There were 15 professions of faith, and many other decisions. I had the opportunity to pray with a few children. There was little movement with our group, and there should have been. The devil used many distractions that are obvious to you and me, but new to these kids. Pray for our children that they might be saved. They ALL are so close. Thanks for your prayers.

A Word of Prophecy

The book of Zechariah tells of a woman (symbol of sin) weighted down by an ephah of silver (symbol of financial power) and held in a large grain basket (symbol of economic power)being carried to the land of Shinar (a.k.a. Babylon). Many believe this shows that the center of political power will be shifted to the Middle East. While in Iraq, my brother was stationed in Babylon and saw the new temple Saddam was building. He believed himself to be a descendant from the great Nebucchadnezzar. Check out this website and see what you think. We may fund the whole thing.

Would any part of the Bible seem wrong to you if you didn't already know it was Biblical?

A fellow blogger posed this question and I wanted to hear from you.

If Bible passages had been blog posts, are there any that you’d have suggested the author sleep on before he hit publish?

Progressive yet Unchanging

While the Christian walk is progressive, it is also unchanging. This seems to contradict itself. I was reading in Matthew and saw the time John the Baptist was in prison. He was about to lose his head for taking a strong moral stand. He had heard of the miracles Jesus was doing and wanted some of his disciples to make sure Jesus really was the Christ. John, who had seen the miracles firsthand, who had seen the Holy Spirit descend upon Jesus like a dove, and who himself claimed Jesus to be the "Lamb of God who taketh away the sin of the world", now questioned Jesus. Jesus did not scold him or degrade him. He simply said this to John's disciples, "Go and show John again those things which you do hear and see: the blind recieve their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached unto them". Many times, we make the Christian walk so "progressive" that we create guilt in those who try and don't see progress. Jesus encourages us here to remember that which we already know. Worship again in that which caused you to worship in the good times. He could tell us to kill ourselves seeking newer and greater things, but instead He just says, "relax and remember". Praise God
