Pray For Korea!

Turmoil in Koreas

I cannot begin to describe the overwhelming pain and sadness I feel for the people of North Korea. They have been in a constant state of famine, fear and faithlessness for over 40 years. The horrors and atrocities are unimaginable to our complacent-comfortable-convenient reality. 

I cling to the Hope I have in salvation through Jesus Christ - my just and sovereign Lord!

 "Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." 

- Luke 12:6&7

"Do not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice..." - Deuteronomy 24:17

"But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.... Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed." - Psalm 10:14 & 82:3

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." 
- Romans 15:13

Give Thanks!

 "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation." - Romans 5:1-11

We have so much to be thankful for...
