Hello friends! We're glad you stopped by our web site. We pray that you are blessed as you browse through the pages. I thank God for the privilege of serving Him AND the freedom we have in which to serve Him.
Our recent visit to India has thoroughly impressed this point upon my heart. This country has over 1 billion people living there. The Christian population is only 3% of those people, making them an extreme minority. Pastor's and believers face persecution every day because of their love for Jesus. If you have the blessing of speaking to those who have been persecuted it humbles you beyond words. Each one shares that they consider it a privilege to be persecuted for Christ. That Jesus was persecuted because He is the Son of God. They thank God for their suffering and that God would consider them worthy of such persecution. Humbling!! After our recent Independence Day celebration here in the US it reminded me of the gift of freedom we each have not only in this country but the gift of freedom in our lives. The scripture in 2 Corinthians 3:17 says, "For the Lord is Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is,there is freedom." That is a gift that is priceless! So next time you grumble about going to church or feel compalcent in praying for someone remember that there are those who are being beaten and killed for the opportunity to do these exact things. I praise God for you and pray His abundant love pour over you today!
Come back and see us soon!
Blessings precious friend!
