Have A Nice Eternity…

“We shall not always be as we are now. We are now at school, learning to sing the song of redeeming love, and, before long, we shall be translated to sing it before the throne of God!”

~JOHN NEWTON

“I’m afraid there’s been an accident…”

12bdf6ff-3021-4e73-bccd-bc919398d1a0-7068-0000031133e7b4d9Sandy Brown and her family have just moved to Spokane, Washington where her husband, Scott, is pastoring a new church. With a fresh start, Sandy is determined to devote more time to her four children. But, within weeks of settling in their new life, the Brown family is plunged into turmoil.

Sandy receives shocking news that her children aren’t safe, which brings back haunting memories of the trauma she experienced as a girl. Then, the unthinkable happens…

A brutal attack puts Sandy on the brink of losing everything she’s loved. Her faith in God and the family she cherishes are pushed to the ultimate limit.

Is healing possible when so many loved ones are hurt? Are miracles really possible through the power of prayer? Can life return to the way it was before?

Blue Sky reveals how a mother’s most basic instinct isn’t for survival… but for family.

Waking up Woke…

My hero Rev George #Whitefield, an Anglican priest and revival leader in the first Great #Awakening:

”O that my words would pierce to the very soul! O that Jesus #Christ was formed in you! O that you would turn to the Lord Jesus Christ, that he might have mercy upon you! I would speak till midnight..till I could speak no more, so it might be a means to bring you to #Jesus.”

John Newton of Amazing Grace

“We may be rather sure, that riches, if the possessors are not proportionately humble and spiritual, have a direct tendency to nourish the worms of self-conceit and self-will. Such persons expect to be consulted, and that their judgment shall be followed.”

-Rev John Newton, abolitionist and author of the Amazing Grace hymn

Loving one another

George Whitefield “The devil has enough against us, without our quarreling with each other; O walk in love. If I could preach no more, if I was not able to hold out to the end of my sermon, I would say as John did, when he was grown old and could not preach, “Little children, love one another”

Have you ever heard of Dr Nathan Bangs?

Dr Nathan Bangs, the first Canadian Methodist preacher, participated in a camp-meeting at Adolphustown in the western part of Upper Canada (Ontario) in 1803. An estimated 2,500 people took part in the meeting which lasted for several days. The meeting, which also served a social purpose, consisted of singing, preaching, and prayer meetings held at intervals: “At five o’clock Saturday morning, a prayer-meeting was held, and at ten o’clock a sermon.” Following the sermons, the clergy went among the people, exhorting the impenitent and comforting the distressed. Bangs wrote, “It was truly affecting to see parents weeping over their children, neighbours exhorting their unconverted neighbours to repent, while all, old and young, were awestruck.”

From Stevens’ Life and Times of Dr Bangs, pp. 150-154, cited in Ryerson, Canadian Methodism, pp. 117-119

Do it again, Lord

Nov 22, 1740 First Great Awakening (281 years ago today)

George Whitefield: “All of a sudden, God’s presence so filled my soul that I could scarce stand under it. I prayed and exhorted, then exhorted and prayed again, but with such power that every person in the room seemed to be under very great impressions, sighing and weeping.”

George Whitefield

Wisdom from my hero George Whitefield:

“Though it is the quintessence of enthusiasm, to pretend to be guided by the Spirit without the written word; yet it is every Christian’s bounden duty to be guided by the Spirit in conjunction with the written word of God.”
