June/July Update
The procession of time brings us to periodic moments where we must pause and remember. We recently celebrated Mother’s Day, and soon we celebrate Father’s Day, on each occasion thanking parents for their love and support. Canada Day and U.S. Independence Day will also soon be upon us. As we thank our Heavenly Father for our homelands, we can also pray on behalf of our fellow citizens: “O Father, guide our nation’s people, lead them to seek Your Word of peace…Oh, waken now this generation. Guide all to seek for Your salvation” (SHZ 533:1,2).May Update
LLC member congregations will soon be visiting about the 2014 LLC Draft Operating Plan. The introductory paragraphs cite the words of Jesus and remind us of our mission: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matt. 24:14). The Operating Plan also mentions our present-day environment in planning for growth, for example, in our congregations and at our camps, while also acknowledging a changing society that places a greater emphasis on lifestyle freedoms with widespread rejection of the Bible’s authority as the truth of God. We rejoice in this blessing that God’s children throughout the world are united in the mutual work of His kingdom.
April Update
After Jesus arose from the grave, He appeared to His disciples, who were in shock and mourning, saying “Peace be unto you” (Luke 24:36).“We Have Been Waiting and Waiting for You to Come”
Longview, Wash. Traveler Recounts LLC Group Trip to West Africa
As I sit with coffee, trip itinerary, and pages of notes to recount the LLC group trip to Africa, how can I put our experiences of this wonderful time into words for others? Truly it was a gift from God to be able to spend time with fellow believers from the United States and Canada, and together visit so many believers and locations in West Africa!
Living Faith Contains God’s Blessing
Everyone has both uphill and downhill periods in life—good times and bad. When we examine our individual life’s phases, we may ponder God’s blessing on the basis of human evaluation. At that point it would be important to remember that God’s blessing isn’t just happiness and success, but rather it is God’s presence in all of life’s phases, even in pain and suffering.
When the Financial Foundation Fails
Every builder knows the importance of a strong and sure foundation. The Master Builder in our lives of faith instructs in Isaiah 28:16: “Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation.” We wish to feel safe and secure, on a strong foundation.
