“Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in
this age, let him become a fool discarding his worldly pretensions and acknowledging
his lack of wisdom so that he may become truly wise.
“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness absurdity,
stupidity before God; for it is written in Scripture, He is the one who catches
the wise and clever in their craftiness and again, ‘The Lord knows the thoughts
of the humanly wise, that they are useless.” I Corinthians 3:18-20

“For God so greatly loved and dearly prised the world,
that He even gave His One and only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and
trusts in Him as Saviour shall not perish, but have eternal life.
“’For God did not send the Son into the world to judge
and condemn the world that is, to initiate the final judgement of the world,
but that the world might be saved through Him.
“’Whoever believes and has decided to trust in Him as
personal Saviour and Lord is not judged, for this one there is no judgement, no
rejection, no condemnation;
“’but the one who does not believe and has decided to
reject Him as personal Saviour and Lord is judged already that one has been
convicted and sentenced, because he has not believed and trusted in the name of
the One and only begotten Son of God the One who is truly unique, the only One
of His kind, the One who alone can save him.’” John 3:16-18 (Amplified
Bible)

($12,000 for the surgery) badly now. Or take a moment to send encouragement
to Isaias Catorce, who teaches and leads the groups at icatorce@gmail.com
Pray for those in full-time service
Pray to uphold our Christian leaders – that they never compromise God’s Word, are bold and courageous in the face of evil. Pray for their wisdom, safety, ingenuity, strength and for their families.
Pray for those with ongoing health concerns
Many of us have family, friends and loved ones with fragile health. Pray God takes special care with them and protects them in practical ways and that the Lord will have mercy on them during this challenging time.
