“Truly, truly, I say to you,

unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies,

it remains alone;

but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”

~John 12:24, ESV~

Mission Canada Volunteers

Remember the team as they travel to Canada today.  Pray for safety and a spirit of unity.

Scott Lindsey

We made it home from the hospital tonight around 8:00 p.m. After all of the test, the doctors are still uncertain as to the cause of the seizures. There is a fluid collection under the recently replaced bone flap. Scott will be taking two anti-seizure medications for the foreseeable future.

He will be having another CAT Scan on Monday to check the fluid under the flap. Worse case scenario is a tap to remove the fluid. Best case scenario is that the medications he is taking will prevent any further seizure activity. Although he is “sick” of hospitals, he is in good spirits. Karibeth, Scott’s youngest sister had to leave on Sunday to go to the Girl Scout camp where she is a counselor this summer. Please keep her in your prayers.  As you can imagine, it is hard to be away when you feel someone you love needs you.

Thank you for your continued prayers. Your calls of concern are truly appreciated. Please continue to keep Scott and our family in your prayers.

Know

“IS IT REALLY possible for a person to KNOW the truth…?”

There are so many opinions about what the Bible teaches. “Is truth even attainable in the religious realm?”

These are common questions today. Consider a few observations from Scripture:
How can a person be expected to OBEY ( Hebrews 5:8-9) Christ if he is incapable of knowing what constitutes obedience to Christ?

How can a person be expected to ABIDE IN ( John 8:31) the word of Christ if he is unable to learn and know Christ’s teaching?

How can a person be expected to PROVE ( 1 Thessalonians 5:21; cf. 1 John 4:1) what the Bible says if the truth cannot be distinguished from error?

How can a person be expected to CONTEND ( Jude 3) earnestly for the truth if the truth is unattainable?

How can a person be expected to BEWARE ( Matthew 7:15; cf. 2 John 7) of false teachers if there is no discernible way of telling whether or not they are teaching error?

How can a person be expected to SPEAK ( Ephesians 4:15) the truth in love if he is unable to differentiate between truth and error?

Yes, we can know the truth. (Mike Benson at: http://www.forthright.net/)

“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” ( John 8:32; cf. 2 Timothy 3:13-17).
