Please join us on an LMF faith journey.

We want to know God better because the people who know God stand strong for truth and live purposeful lives for God. this is a journey that includes a home group study but is not limited to that. For a wee investment you can purchase the classic "Knowing God" by J.I. Packer and read along each week.

This Thursday -

"Should we provoke the Lord to jealousy?" The apostle Paul asks.
James adds, "He yearns jealousy over the spirit which he has made to dwell in us."
God's jealousy is not an infantile resentment springing from unmortified covetousness, which expresses itself in envy, malice and meanness of action."
Rather it is similar to what married persons feel at the intrusion of a lover or an adulterer into their home. Surely someone who felt no jealousy at such a time would be lacking in moral perception. God expects from those whom He has loved and redeemed utter and absolute loyalty. He will vindicate his claim if they betray His love.
1. Prepare your heart in prayer to have the spiritual understanding to comprehend what is being shared in the pages of this book. Pray that God would open the eyes of our hearts.
2. Read Chapter 17.
3. As you read humble yourself before your King and ask him to open the eyes of your heart.
4. Bring your Bible and join the discussion on Thursday night, 7:00pm @ LMF.

MISSIONARY UPDATE:

05/16/10 This brother and others are working on translating the Bible into their native language. They are also working on getting Christian literature translated as well. Work is being done to get Bibles in the hands of college students too. Pray for protection, blessing and opportunities for this work.

06/20/10 Our brother is having increased opportunities to minister to those hungry to hear the truth about Jesus.
They have been misled for so long they yearn for the truth. To hear the truth about Jesus from someone in their own culture and language opens the hearts of people to receive the gift of release from the bondage of sin and false theology. When someone in their culture is born again they really understand the idea of a new life and redemption and they embrace it. Pray with a fervent heart for all those who have not had the opportunity  to hear the gospel of grace and truth. May His truth be proclaimed to the whole earth! Amen.

God's Word needs to be heard by everyone everywhere. The world is hostile to the truth because it gets in the way of our own foolish and futile concepts of this life and what happens after we leave this earth. One day when the whole earth has heard of the one who came to share the real truth, the real life and the only way then and only then will everyone finally understand. Until then we have to finish the course.

Let's join the saints around the globe and tarry with them in prayer and whatever support we are able to give with a cheerful heart. Our brothers and sisters are literally laying their lives on the line to take the truth to their own people and to the ends of the earth.

Here are some other prayer needs for our brothers and sisters in that land:
Pray for opportunities for Christians in this land to share the truth of who Jesus is with those around them.
Pray that local officials will stop harassing Christians.
Pray that all those who are lost will have the opportunity to hear the truth about the only one who can save, the only one who could say; "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:5-7
