Enjoy His Bounty!

“Can you leave the choice with your King and trust him to plan what's best for you? Emmanuel knows what's best for you, lad, and if you leave the choice to him, he will give you what's best. Many times we seek our own happiness rather than seeking to please the King and we miss out on the life of joy and fulfillment that he has planned for us… Emmanuel’s children miss the Banquet of Joy because they scramble for the scraps and crumbs of their own happiness, rather than yielding to the will of their King and enjoying his bounty!” (The Quest for Thunder Mountain, by Ed Dunlop p. 154)

"The Greatest Book Ever Written."

I have the best “job” in the world. I had the opportunity to preach to a total of about 1,000 students in 3 schools this morning (2 of them public schools). The third school was a first time invitation in the village of Belo. More than 400 students in one room – and you could hear a pin drop for close to an hour (30 min. video plus 30 min message). More than 300 kids responded to the Gospel invitation! Praise God! We also gave every student and teacher a NT in this school. You should have heard the cheers, applause and shouting that erupted when the principle announced they would all be receiving “a free copy of the greatest book ever written – the Bible.”
