Our New Game Relationality
Well, for those of you who know us, you probably know that we created a board game. It has finally come out. If you are interested, you can order it
here or to the right in the links section. Please pray that the Lord will use it for His purposes, to help people make better relationships decisions. Pray that He will enable us to get it into public schools (it is research-based and not a Christian game, although research is in accord with God's principles) and that it will really change some relationships in the US. Thanks!
Persecution in the Western World
We cannot expect the West (Europe & N. America) to always be free from persecution of Christians, and I mean serious persecution not name calling. Why do I say something as "pessimistic" as that? Because that's what Jesus taught:
Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.Matthew 24:9
In my Bible I don't have a little asterisk next to the phrase "all nations," indicating that America is an exception.
Here are two stories about persecution of a
church in Lansing, Mich., and
a missionary in Vancouver B.C.Note that the church responded with prayer and a reminder that its mission is to love people and proclaim the Bible. The missionary is in the hospital and presumably hasn't had a chance to make a statement. That is how we must respond - with love. That's why we need to be walking with the Lord every day, because naturally speaking, that love isn't going to come from us.
