Pray for our Nation’s Leaders

God’s Truth: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7).

“Whenever a nation’s laws no longer reflect the standards of God, that nation is in rebellion against Him and will inevitably bear the consequences,” said Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., quoting from The Tony Evans Bible Commentary on February 25, while speaking on the House floor in opposition to the Equality Act, which would make it illegal to discriminate against homosexual and transgender individuals. 

Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., replied: “What any religious tradition ascribes as God’s will is no concern of this Congress.” 

The House voted 224-206 in favor of the bill.

Jesus: Magician or Messiah?

I often heard the following from my mentor, illusionist André Kole. 

Imagine Jesus and His disciples walking through the dusty streets of Galilee with five tractor trailers following behind them. That is what it would have taken for Jesus to have done the sort of things He did, if he were mere first century magician.

I had the privilege of touring as part of André Kole’s eight-member evangelism team. I performed as a guest-star, tech director, stage manager, and solo missionary during my years on staff. Every night we shuffled five tons of equipment in and out of auditoriums to accomplish the many magical inventions from the mind of André Kole. 

What God Does Not Want You to Do at Home (or anywhere)!

God’s Truth: “For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made… your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be” (Psalm 139:13-16).

No Thanks… I’ll Pass

It’s hard to imagine the new ice cream flavor developed in Quito, Ecuador. Maria del Carmen Pilapana said she believes she has “the first guinea-pig-flavored ice cream. My family and my husband thought I was crazy, but now it’s my main product.” Her offerings also include bug- and mushroom-flavored ice cream.
