Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray—
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
- Charles Wesley

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

1 Cor 13:13

Please pray for the American church.

Unhealed anger can radicalize you.

Bitterness will poison your own soul.

Significant pain often can compromise your ability to be wise and kind.

"Love, love
Love your enemies
And be children of your Father in Heaven
Children of your Father in Heavеn"

Beautiful music by Jon Guerra.

Pray for your enemies.
Bless your enemies.
Serve your enemies.
Forgive your enemies.
Do good to your enemies.
Love your enemies.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
- Jesus

God have mercy... 😢 What a terribly tragic event. May God's peace cover our land and may his peace rest upon Charlie's wife and kids. So, so sad.

Meanwhile, the grifters keep getting griftier and griftier. 😬

God is still in the business of rescuing lives.

Our hope, our goal, and our promise.

Wow. This would be so amazing if this ends up working! I've been praying for something like this for years.

“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it” - Jesus

May God fill your day with peace today.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Phil 4:6-7

"No one is exempted from striving to ensure respect for the dignity of every person, especially the most frail and vulnerable, from the unborn to the elderly, from the sick to the unemployed, citizens and immigrants alike." - Pope Leo XIV

Christian brothers and sisters

Now is a time for courage. For hope. For integrity. For prayer.

It is a time to reject the foolish chatter of the world. Of our political parties. Of fads and viral trends.

It is a time to search the wisdom of scriptures. Of the saints.

On Nazis.

To resist the works and words of Nazis, we must see even the wicked as loved by God and having potential for redemption. And we must see the potential for Nazi evil within our own hearts. We cannot become the evil we hope to resist.

Happy Resurrection day from our crew!

Christ is risen!
