Dear Family & Friends,
“If any man curses his God he will bear responsibility for his sin, and one who misuses the name of the Lord must surely be put to death.” “If a man beats any person to death, he must be put to death.” Leviticus 24:15c-16a, 17
Our society views very little as sacred or above abuse. Society looks for ways to laugh at God and those who serve Him. There are television shows that mock the character of God and those that serve Him. People curse out loud using God’s name in vain. It happens so much in movies that people in Taiwan assume it makes them looks cool to say, “Oh my god!” But God’s name is not the only sacred thing that is treated cheaply. Human life is looked upon as having little value. Many people are treated poorly because of their standing in society. Others are not viewed as worthy of health care because of their age or special circumstances. Babies are aborted upon demand. People are murdered for the few bucks in their pocket or because they hold a different belief or opinion. These events we all see happening regularly, but what about ignoring the spiritual state of someone’s soul as they go through life moving toward a Christ-less eternity? Do we truly view as sacred what God views as sacred? What have we done today to honor God’s name and the lives for whom His son died to bring eternal life?
We thank you for praying for Bonnie McGill. This past week her children and grandchildren arrived, and Bonnie was also moved into the hospice unit at the hospital. We were able to visit with Bonnie and her family this past weekend. She was able to respond to our singing and our prayers, but not able to hold a conversation. She is being kept as comfortable as possible as she awaits to enter into the rest of her Savior and King. Please continue to pray for the whole McGill family.
Please continue to pray for the ministry of The Home of God’s Love. The government continues to make changes to the laws which govern the functioning of such organizations. It is difficult to keep up with the changes. THoGL is in need of two people to serve as a baby nannie; a childcare worker for those 2 – 12 years of age; a social worker; and a social work supervisor. Please pray that we can find these people quickly. It would best if they would be Christians as well.
We continue to ask that you lift up all of our discipleship groups each week. Another non-Christian came to John’s Thursday evening group this past week. Cheryl’s groups continue to have consistent attendance. The parenting group seems to be providing a lot of good information for growth as parents. The Wednesday evening ladies are asking good questions as they study the Word. Please pray that all those attending will allow the Holy Spirit to change their hearts and minds.
Moriah had a great track meet this past weekend. She won the 100 meter sprint with a personal best of 13.5 seconds.
Thank you for putting the time in to pray.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
1. Pray that we all regard God’s name, His Word, and human life as sacred. May we be willing to reach out to those lost in sin as well.
2. Continue to pray for Bonnie McGill and her family.
3. Pray for the future ministry of THoGL as new workers are sought.
4. Pray for God to continue to give us influence in the lives of those who
attend our discipleship groups.
