Archives/Archivos Yes, my thoughts had been many when that little bird fell helpless at my feet. I thought of Jewish eyes that had opened to see the loveliness of Jesus. But what about all of those who live and die without the revelation that the greatest Jew who ever lived has abolished death and guarantees life and immortality to all who trust Him? The mission field is where people are. And people are everywhere... Your value to God. You can’t get away from it. The greatest sinner still carries God’s image. No matter how fast or how far you run from God, you cannot outrun His unconditional love for you. You matter... Man’s greatest computers cannot rival the human brain. And it all fits neatly into the back of my skull. When I look in the mirror, I see... I knew he was one of Israel’s greatest warrior generals. He viewed me as a fellow warrior in my defense of Israel and my stand at the Jewish side during attacks by haters. I never had the chance... You were in the Father’s heart before He created the world. You were not made for the world. The world was made for you. His image! That’s you! To know Christ and love Him. To have God’s Holy Spirit use God’s Holy Word day by day to mold you into... God made it clear. Accept His Son and life will change. No more sex until marriage. Farewell and good riddance to drugs, alcohol, porn and other chains in the devil’s bag of tricks. Still they came... I believe the devil has a great fear of—and hatred toward—our youth. When a young soul sells out to Jesus, those early years of strength, energy and vigor can inflict great damage to the kingdom of darkness. We respect all people in all religions. We love all people unconditionally, whether or not they ever embrace our belief system. And we will stand for justice for any individual who suffers injustice. But we cannot—indeed will not—back off from one fact. We do not merely claim a corner on truth, but all four corners, the whole house, really. When Pilate asked Jesus “What is truth?” he was looking Truth in the eye. Jesus forever drew the line in the sand with “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.” “I think we had better get out of here while the getting’s good!” But Lionel just looked at me and smiled. Old Lionel. He is one tough hombre. He was also the pilot of our little boat and had veto power over my fears. I had to trust him. |
