The Light of God’s Grace Entering the Darkness of Man’s Heart<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This week has been a wonderful week remembering the Lord’s entrance into the world to start the process of saving humanity from Adam’s awful choice. Throughout history, God had declared that two things were to come, judgment & salvation and they would be as certain as He is God.  The Lord also proclaimed which one He preferred in Eze. 33:11: “As I live,” says the Lord, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked but that the wicked turn from his evil way and live. . .” God has always provided a way for people to turn back to Him but so many did not want any part of His provision and so the only option was to look for judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, God kept His promise to Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, David, Israel and to the whole human race and “When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,”.  God’s provision for man’s problem.  Only He could do that.  Thank you, Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Year In Which God Provides More Opportunity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has been a very busy year and a very profitable one. \u00a0We were able to make the needs of unreached people groups known to many college age students, Perspectives classes and churches where we were able to fit into. \u00a0It seems that each semester gets busier than the previous one, which seems impossible to me but it is true. \u00a0Oh well, no rest for the . . . well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new year is starting in a week and so starts another chapter in our lives.  Please pray for our health and safety as we travel and meet new laborers for the Lord.  Thank you for being a part of that process.  The Lord was faithful to us in sending us His Son.  It only seems appropriate that we should be faithful to the One we serve.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year.  We love you all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faithful With You Until He returns,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
