"I Gave It All Up!"

Read about A. W. Tozer

August 17

Evangelism: "I Gave It All Up!"

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. --2 Corinthians 5:17

I have been asked more than once what I gave up when I was converted and became a believing child of God. I was a young man, and I well remember that I gave up the hot and smelly rubber factory. I was making tires for an hourly wage, and I gave that up to follow Christ's call into Christian ministry and service.

As a youth I was scared of life and I was scared of death--and I gave that up. I was miserable and glum and unfulfilled--and I gave that up. I had selfish earthly and material ambitions that I could never have achieved--and I gave them up.

That forms the outline of the worthless things that I gave up. And I soon discovered that in Jesus Christ, God had given me everything that is worthwhile.

If God takes away from us the old, wrinkled, beat-up dollar bill we have clutched so desperately, it is only because He wants to exchange it for the whole Federal mint, the entire treasury! He is saying to us, "I have in store for you all the resources of heaven. Help yourself!" Jesus, Author of our Faith, pp. 49-50

"Why am I so hesitant to share the Gospel, Lord--when this is what I'm asking people to give up? Thank You for all we gain through our new life in Christ--in exchange for all the junk we give up! Amen."

Iraq: Youth pastor Fadi released by kidnappers

April 13, 2007 - Kidnapped youth pastor Fadi of the Alliance Church in Baghdad, was released by his kidnappers! They let him go this Friday around 15:00, Baghdad time. Just a minute ago I talked to him on the phone. He sounded very tired but said that he was immensely grateful. He added: “I sensed that God was with me and talked to me all the time”. The hostage takers told him: “We don’t know why, but we will not kill you”. But we do know why! Over the past days we received many messages from around the world of people praying for the release of our brother! Talking to pastor Ghassan in Baghdad, I heard shouts of joy in the background. He was at Fadi’s house with family and church members singing and praising God. Let’s join them and give glory to God. Fadi’s name means: Redeemer. Yes, our Redeemer lives! Arie Verduyn Alliance World Fellowship President

Alliance Youth Pastor Kidnapped in Iraq

April 10, 2007 - The youth leader of the Alliance church in Baghdad, pastor Fadi, has been kidnapped last Friday night April 6 on his way back from Kurdistan to Baghdad. Reports say that the abductors were followed by the Kurdish police who shot at the car. The family fears for Fadi's life since he was held in the trunk of the car. The kidnappers had Fadi call his relatives and told him to say his last words to them. It is uncertain whether this was a random abduction or whether Fadi was especially targeted. Fadi knew of the dangers of going to Kirkuk, but insisted on going because of ministry opportunities there. Members of the Alliance Church in Baghdad are praying and fasting and will be joined by six other evangelical churches on Tuesday the 10th for a special day of prayer.

A visit with the Saldi Family

I was able to free up some time Thursday afternoon so that I could visit with Maribel, Resty and their two sons, Jeremiah and Joshua.

By the grace of our Lord, considering what he's gone through in the previous months, Jeremiah is doing just fine. Praise the Lord!! GOD is good all the time!!

Joshua, born February 16,2007, is doing A-OK as well.

Resty and Maribel expressed their heartfelt thanks and appreciation for all the prayers from their Fairview Church family.

They also expressed their wish to one day be able to buy a used vehicle, preferably a minivan, so that they'll be able to, together with the two boys, come and worship at Fairview every Sunday.

I look forward to one day invite and have Resty and Maribel bless the Fairview Alliance Church family with a special music in a form of a Worship chorus. They both can sing and Resty plays the guitar too.

Here are photos I took during my visit.

Lean on me when you're not strong - Jeremiah rests his head on dad's shoulder.

The picture was taken at Villa St. Martin during one our Leadership Retreat.

Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday!!

The Lord our God bless you and keep you!!

January: Personal Life

Some things may be neglected with but little loss to the spiritual life, but to neglect communion with God is to hurt ourselves where we cannot afford it.

Personal Life: Personal Holiness

But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy." --1 Peter 1:15-16

You cannot study the Bible diligently and earnestly without being struck by an obvious fact--the whole matter of personal holiness is highly important to God!

Neither do you have to give long study to the attitudes of modern Christian believers to discern that by and large we consider the expression of true Christian holiness to be just a matter of personal option: "I have looked it over and considered it, but I don't buy it!"...

Personally, I am of the opinion that we who claim to be apostolic Christians do not have the privilege of ignoring such apostolic injunctions. I do not mean that a pastor can forbid or that a church can compel. I only mean that morally we dare not ignore this commandment, "Be holy."...

But, brethren, we are still under the holy authority of the apostolic command. Men of God have reminded us in the Word that God does ask us and expect us to be holy men and women of God, because we are the children of God, who is holy. The doctrine of holiness may have been badly and often wounded--but the provision of God by His pure and gentle and loving Spirit is still the positive answer for those who hunger and thirst for the life and spirit well-pleasing to God. I Call It Heresy!, 61-62,68.

"Oh, Lord, I fall so short! Strengthen me today, walk with me, keep me cognizant of Your presence, and guard me from any thought or action that would be displeasing to You. Amen."
