Suffering is part of being human and Christian.
Those who love most seem to suffer most from
the plight of others.
We need prayer even if God does not grant our
prayer request. Asking why is never productive.
As we grow spiritually we are able to bear more
burdens. It is not pleasant but we share with Christ
in the pain of love.

Depraved Calvinism
Calvinism is more than an academic debate.
How could anyone believe that my three month
old grand-daughter could be on God's list of those
with no hope - Born to Lose?
No amount of prayer, Sunday School, VBS, AWANAS,
Sermons or Singing could change that fact if she is
destine to hell.
How could a Calvinist have children knowing
such is possible? Even non-select dying babies would
go to hell. They reach accountability at conception.
How could any Christian actually believe in "no hope"
Christianity. Born to Lose is depraved thinking.
Maybe Calvin was not one of the elect.

Freedom's Hidden Cost
The May 25 Army Times pictured faces of 395 fallen soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. In the previous twelve months, these US men and women died in the wars. Seeing the Faces of the Fallen make the cost of freedom especially real. The total number is near 5,000.
It is too late to pray for those who did not know Christ. They have gone to hell preserving our freedom.
Pray for the salvation of those who will yet die.

Our God is a Jealous God
In many Baptist churches, Old Glory will fly especially
high on Sunday morning. The music will be uplifting
and patriotic. We will pledge our allegiance to the flag
and to the United States of America. Our hearts will
beat hard within our chests. We will remember the
price that has been paid and continues to be paid for
our freedom. Our emotions will be made tender by
the sacrifices and our resolve will be strengthened
to fight all who would seek to tread on the USA. God
help us to be faithful citizens and God Bless America.
Old Glory will be the star as the state goes to church
this weekend. Our God is a jealous God!
