A Point to Ponder ¡§How are you feeling today?¡¨ is a rather common question, especially if someone has been unwell for a while. Feelings and emotions can change from day to day, and at times it might seem as though we are on an emotional roller coaster. One thing is certain, no matter how we might feel on any given day, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1). As an Afro-American spiritual puts it: ¡§Sometimes I¡¦m up, sometimes I¡¦m down, but still I know I¡¦m heavenward bound¡¨. Whether we¡¦re feeling up or down, feeling well or not, faith confesses: ¡§Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so. I am at peace with God, and I¡¦m heavenward bound.¡¨ May God bless us as we prepare to celebrate those truths in Communion next Sunday morning. Pastor Jim.

Through literacy classes, Sokrat and Lena nourish these women with the gospel message and improve their ability to function in society, a double blessing.

From the Voice of the Martyrs: Nigeria - Please pray for those in the Christian village of Mazzah, where eight Christians were killed and seven houses were burned. Reverend Nuhu Dawat escaped with one of his children but his wife and two other children were killed. Pray for Nigerian authorities as they seek to restore law and order in the region. Pray that those responsible will be brought to justice. Ask God to enable Nigerian Christians to respond to their persecutors in a Christ-like manner, with forgiveness and without retaliation.
