Persecution of Christians

Recently, Iraqi Christians have come under attack in Baghdad in which Al-Qaeda militants have claimed responsibility. Even as they suffer, God promises Christians who face persecution because of their religion will receive a great reward in heaven (Matthew 5:10-12). This touches me as it reminds me how lucky we are to be in Canada, where we can openly profess our faith. As well, let's keep these Christians in mind throughout the week and pray for their safety and well-being. Let's also pray for those who are persecuting the Iraqi Christans, that they will one day accept Jesus into their lives and understand that killing anyone is not right.

Incredible courage

When I have nothing that is 'important and time sensitive" on my hands, I usually go skim through some news articles. This is what I came upon today.

What caught my attention the most was that 'there are now more members of the Christian faith then the communist party."

I always thought that China was like crazy communist, haha, but guess not? :) It's the power of the Gospel! :D

Retreat! :)

GUYS,

I really wanna encourage you guys to share something about this year's retreat. I know all of you took something away from it, so let's hear it! :)

It's a shame that we won't be having regular fellowship time for the rest of the summer, but that doesn't mean that we can't still fellowship through our blogging and sharing!

PS. For those of you that aren't helping out with VBS, you should still come by afterwards for gym time and what not!

Praise the Lord for this weekend!

P90X!

Haha, so i guess no one blogs here anymore?! *sadface. (hahaha...)

Since the weather's been so humidly hot, it's a struggle for me just to get out of the house. Talk about laziness! In light of this, today I was doing some exercise at home, y'know, to lose a few pounds. Haha, so my friend and I were doing Ab Ripper X from the p90x program a while ago...(Note: Obviously I gave up.. haha) so I just decided to do it again today! Man, that was a hardcore hour!

Anyway, so I recall a conversation I had with Josh a few days ago as I was exercising and listening to some upbeat music.. haha. He was saying how p90x doesnt work unless you follow it RELIGIOUSLY. I laughed at first, and then I started to question whether we do anything religiously...I dont know, man, but it feels absurd to have to follow anything in this world religiously other than Jesus. Do we even take our faith religiously, or is it just something that we do now? I mean, where do I place God in my life as of this very minute? Am I following Christ every day RELIGIOUSLY?

P.U.S.H.

Pray until something happens.

I was reading a book a few weeks ago and it talked about prayer. A lot of times we pray for ourselves, but we wont fully understand prayer until we do it right. Prayer isnt for you to ask for things, but a conversation with God. It's about Him, and not you. Then the book said something about praying FOR God. Never thought of that, eh. We usually ask each other how we're doing and how we can pray for each other.. but have you ever prayed for God? It makes perfect sense though...If we treat God as our Friend, why dont we ask Him how HE feels about stuff that's been happening? I'm not sure if i make sense, but i hope you see my point.

Anyway, I've been wondering if I'm trying to take matters into my own hands by being overly active in job seeking. HAHA. but regardless... IN HIS TIME, things shall unfold.

I think God's so funny lately. I see His work in me and those around me.. and sometimes it just makes me smile/laugh at how creative He can be at revealing His will to me. :) Praise God!

love,
