That moment when...

"At the moment when I put the bread and wine into those dark hands, once stained with the blood of Cannibalism but now stretched out to receive and partake the elements and seals of the Redeemer's love, I had a foretaste of the joy and Glory that well-nigh broke my heart to pieces. I shall never taste of a deeper bliss till I gaze on the glorified face of Jesus Himself." ~ Missionary John Paton after conducting his first communion service in the New Hebrides islands

The Key to Unlock Every Heart

"Oh, Jesus! to Thee alone be all the glory. Thou hast the key to unlock every heart that Thou has created." ~ Said by John Gibson Paton, 19th century missionary to the cannibals of the New Hebrides, following the conversion of a man who had recently tried to kill him.

Our only Hope!

On Friday, a mad man killed 20 children in a school in CT and the entire nation mourns – and we should mourn, it was a terrible crime. 
To put things in perspective, however, did you know that yesterday, well over 3,000 babies were murdered across the United States at abortion “clinics” and hospitals (1.2 million per year)? Not one minute of media was utilized to mourn their deaths. Not one flag was lowered, and I did not hear about a single prayer vigil or memorial service. AMERICA NEEDS TO REPENT AND WEEP OVER HER UNRIGHTEOUSNESS AND TOLERANCE OF SIN.
Dear God, please revive our nation and turn our eyes away from politicians and gun control debates, and please turn our eyes to the only Hope – Jesus Christ the Lord!

So Busy

ALEXANDER MACLAREN: It will be a good day for all the Churches when their members ask themselves whether they are doing the work for which they are established by their Lord, if they fail in winning men to be His, and whether Christ will be satisfied if, when He asks them why they have not carried out His commands to take His Gospel to those around them who are without it, they answer, "Lord, we were so busy studying deep theological questions, arguing about the validity of critical inquiries as to the dates of the books of the Bible, preaching and hearing eloquent discourses, comforting and edifying one another, that we had to leave the Christless masses alone."

Peace - not as the world gives...

Upon being attacked by a cannibal with an ax, missionary John Patton wrote in his autobiography: “Life in such circumstances led me to cling very near to the Lord Jesus…with my trembling hand clasped in the Hand once nailed on Calvary, and now swaying the scepter of the Universe, calmness and peace and resignation abode in my soul.”

Real Change

About this time last month I made the following prediction: "WITH CONFIDENCE, I AM PREDICTING THAT ON NOVEMBER 7th God will still be on the throne. Salvation will still be by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and America will still be in need of revival. You will still be able to draw near to God, and He will still draw near to you (James 4:8). Real change is not found in the White House, but in Christ! (2 Cor 5:17) 
It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. (Ps 118:8-9)" If your confidence is in Christ - YOU ARE NOT DISAPPOINTED TODAY!
