Why is Raphael-and Indian Man in his 20's suing his parents for giving birth to him? Because they did so without his consent. This stems from his worldview Antinatalism-belief that rejects God's existence, a moral Standard, and the belief that it was selfish for his parents to have given birth to his for their own pleasure. PROBLEM: Be in prayer for Raphael as he is made in God's image, just as you and I are. Had he be taught that worldview as opposed to his current one-his life would most definitely be different.

What is the difference between JOY and HAPPINESS? Are they the same? Are they different? The Scripture tells us to seek JOY-which is internal as opposed to HAPPINESS! What's the difference between the two? Ask the Chinese Church and Iranian Christians. They have the answer if we don't.

Jesus tells us in Matthew 11:29, "The my yoke upon you, and LEARN from me, for aI am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for our souls" (Matthew 11:29). It's easy for us to imagine offloading our yoke upon Jesus and even easier to miss-interpret what Jesus means by our taking on His yoke. Jesus tells us that taking on His yoke starts and continues with we our LEARNING from Him. How do we do that? We read the Bible and pray to Jesus as a regular part of our diet. We find a church and fellow Christians as well-all within the context of LEARNING from Jesus. A great by-product of doing this is that we obtain REST in God. Why, because His yoke is easier than the earthly yokes that we wrap round our lives-hearts and minds in our life time. But, this must start with . . . A TEACHABLE HEART.

Our Pursuit Of Heaven Begins seems to begin When We Feel Like We're Headed Towards Hell. The fear of hell is often-not always, but often what draws us to God in heaven. Jesus tells us in the Book of Matthew 11:25-30 that when we trade yokes with him that we find rest and peace in our hearts. I was asked to speak to a gentleman in our Bible study group years ago about his wanting to leave his faith for the world. I lovingly told him that it's his own choice and that he will forfeit that peace of heart. Tune in to hear more!

HUMILITY is the key to a purposeful and successful Christian life. A humble attitude gains gains latitude both in God's eyes and in the eyes of the world. God's Word tells us through the Apostle Paul in the Book of Romans, chapter 12, verses 3-6 that Humility Leads to Unity Through Diversity. God has created us all differently-with different gives and from different cultures. When we come together from all cultures into one body of Christ, we will be humbled-and God will use us and lift us up. When we are prideful and sin God humbles us out of His love for us. In the end-Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord, and He will life you up, higher and higher, and He will life you up!

Are you EQUIPPED to both defend and advance your faith in a world hostile towards God?
