That was the last updated blog.... man... it's been a while.
I guess along the way I just didn't take time to blog anymore, but hopefully things will become routine again, can't promise anything though.
So, what's been happening for the past 2 months or so? Well, life goes on, been quite busy with work, church, friends, a bit of tennis, and of course wife, hehehe.... but most were good things.
God has been very good to us, by His grace, we've been developing friendship with people in the Casey area, not only people from our church, but people outside the church by which we are privileged to be able to ask them to come along to church just last weekend. I am believing for salvation of more people this year.
Sometimes, actually many times, we are so caught up by things in life, busyness, work, etc we tend to forget the great commission, that is to spread the good news to the lost. Because we know it is God's will that none should perish.
In Matthew 6:33 it says (from Message translation): People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
From NLT it says: Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
I don't know about you, but it has to start with a decision from all of us to put God's Kingdom first in our life, I know it's not easy, I struggle with it every single day. But by His grace which is sufficient, and His strength which is made perfect in our weakness, we can do all things through Christ. And nothing is too difficult or impossible to God, if we believe.
Let me finish with a familiar verse from John 10:10, this is from the Message: I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.
May God bless you and hope to post the next blog pretty soon.
