Prayers of Bloggers and my Mom reading the Bible

 

I try not to talk about my personal life on my blog but I thought I post this as a thank you and also spiritual encouragement.

A little over a year ago when the United States was going through its chaotic departure from Afghanistan I wrote a post “A Son of A Refugee’s Gratitude for Christians in America’s Mid-West.”  Some of the regular readers here have even commented and said this was one of the best post on our blog.  I talked about my mom’s refugee story from the Vietnam war, the love of Christ shown to my mom’s family from a Mid-West church who sponsored them and also prayers for salvation that might seem to go unanswered but sometimes answered in ways we don’t expect, with the next generation, and prayers answered after we have gone home to be with the Lord. 

I appreciate some commented and also said they will pray for mom’s salvation.

Throwback Thursday to what was said my Best Post

 

Been fatigued with ministry, so this is a late-in-the-day post.  This week also happen to be the 20 year anniversary of when I graduated Marine Corps boot camp, earning the title of Marine.  It was a time of introspection and some of the guys I served with on social media have been commenting about how we are getting older, that our body is not the same, that there’s wear and tear from service and just growing older.  One of the guys that commented have also been through a lot of injuries while serving.  I was thinking about how some of the guys I served with have changed (coming to Christ, being a better person, etc) while some still remain the crazy wild individuals that haven’t changed much.  Sometimes in my memory I picture myself in uniform the way my face looks like now and when I saw my Marine graduation pictures I realized all the guys look so young, like kids.  And I realize it was a long time ago and I’ve also changed.

Message: Relationships Presupposes the Biblical Worldview by James Hanna

Personal Relationship are part of the fabric of who we are.  Yet relationships don’t make sense in every worldview.  In fact personal relationships are intelligible and meaningful in a Christian worldview.

On May 21st there was a conference called “Rescue Youth and Young Adult Conference 2022” at Metropolitan Baptist Church at Hollywood Florida.  Speaker James Hanna delivered an excellent message employing Presuppositional Apologetics to drive the point home that relationships presupposes the Biblical worldview.
