Welcome to Our Table


This letter was written just before the national elections are held here in the United States, which will have occurred by the time you receive it. Shirley and I are praying that God's people will turn out at the polls in record numbers, and that the outcome will be according to His divine plan. I can't imagine what this country will be like if those supporting the international abortion agenda are given power, if the traditional definition of marriage crumbles, if religious liberty continues to be assaulted, and if our burgeoning national debt and uncontrolled spending are allowed to take us over the cliff.

An even more serious concern is the prospect that two more extremely liberal Justices to the Supreme Court would be appointed by the current President of the United States. That could give the liberals a majority with which to "create the laws" for the next 25 years or longer. All of these disturbing consequences are up for grabs as I write this final pre-election letter. I hope you and your fellow Christians were praying for this nation as November dawned upon us.

One thing is certain. Regardless of the election outcome, it will remain our responsibility to stand for the family. As I'll mention later in this letter, there are some very exciting new initiatives and a big vision that I invite you to join us in accomplishing. Since I presently have no additional information on which to speculate about the outcome of the elections, let's talk about something uplifting.

November is one of my favorite months because it brings the Thanksgiving holiday. This is a time for gratitude to Jesus Christ for His many blessings to us, and for the gathering of families and friends.

We are grateful for your generosity and willingness to stand for the family. I am thankful to continue serving in new ways towards the same mission to which I was called so many years ago. You are such an encouragement to me to stay in the battle.

May you enjoy the love and fellowship of family and friends this Thanksgiving as we count our many blessings and remember God's goodness and faithfulness to all generations.

Sincerely,

The Danger in Being a Christian: It began as a Jewish sect; fierce persecution only helped it spread

Acts 8 Acts 8:1 On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. In some countries, a person who becomes a Christian forfeits a good education and job. And in a few countries, a person who converts risks his or her life. One church historian estimates that more Christians were martyred in the twentieth century than in all preceding centuries put together. Yet, strangely, more often than not, intense persecution of Christians leads to a spurt of growth in the church. An ancient saying expresses this phenomenon: “The blood of martyrs is the seed of the church.” The First Big Advance For a while, the new faith enjoyed popular favor. But very soon it involved grave risk. In the book of Acts, the persecution that produced the first Christian martyr, Stephen, ironically brought about the advance of Christianity outside its Jewish base. Forced out of stormy Jerusalem, the scatterin...

In His Eyes

July 23, 2012 Mary Southerland Today's Truth I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be ( Psalm 139:14-15 , NIV). Friend to Friend It was my first day of teaching second grade. While standing at the classroom door, greeting parents and children, I felt a tug on my skirt. I looked down into the beautiful blue eyes of Sammy, one of my new students.  His mother, who was standing beside Sammy, looked at me and said, "I guess you've heard about Sammy.  Good luck!" As she walked away, Sammy said, "She's right. I'm dumb and mean and can't read or write."  Lisa was a tall, blonde and beautiful young woman with zero self-confidence. Lisa was...

La amistad: Ayuda para la santidad

Leer | JUAN 15.12-15 20 de julio de 2012 Cuando Dios creó todo, solo una cosa no tuvo su aprobación. Miró a Adán, quien era el único ser en su clase, y dijo: “No es bueno que el hombre esté solo” (Gn 2.18). El Señor creó a las personas para que tuvieran compañerismo emocional, mental y físico, de modo que pudieran compartir su ser más íntimo unas con otras. Jesús explicó esto a sus discípulos, diciéndoles que debían amarse unos a otros tal como Él los había amado. En una amistad que honra a Dios, dos personas se edifican mutuamente y se animan una a otra a tener un carácter como el de Cristo. Sin embargo, muchas no logran entablar y mantener relaciones que estimulen su fe (Pr 27.17). Lo que hacen es hablar trivialidades propias de simples conocidos: el clima y los asuntos mundiales. Lamentablemente, también los creyentes rehúyen la conversación profunda en cuanto al pecado, la conducta transparente y la vida de acuerdo con los parámetros bíblicos, que servirían para enriquecer ...
