Hi, Dan; Thanks so much. Our choir has sung an anthem based on that passage (29:11-13): '"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."' The piece had been commissioned by a family whose daughter was murdered a few days before her wedding. This was a passage that her family turned to often in their grief. The anthem was beautiful; knowing its origin made it all the more precious and planted that passage firmly in my mind. Anyway, I'm glad I was able to help. God bless you too. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |

Hi Steve, Thank you for sharing your message about the family who lost their daughter. Please know that they are in my prayers. What an incredible witness they are to all of us who are just passing through this old world. They are not shaking their fist at God and demanding "Why me?" No, on the contrary, they are leaning of God's Word, which is a very present help in trouble. They are trusting God. This is not Christianity 101, but rather REAL Christianity. I pray God to continue to strengthen their hearts in the absolute knowledge that He alone knows best. He knows what He is doing. He has never made a mistake. Praise be to God. I'm sure that all of you who are involved in this internet ministry have touched many times on the problem of evil. It is not my intent to start any kind of chain reaction on that subject, but I would like to make one comment regarding the fact that God has allowed suffering and pain and evil in spite of the fact that He loves us with a love that is beyond our ability to comprehend. In the overall, God's plan will achieve what He desires to achieve. God's plan is the best plan possible, because it is God's plan. Believers trust and know that God's plan is the only plan that will perfectly fulfill God's Will, and that is what we pray for, that God's Will be done in our lives. Thanks for sharing with me Steve. You got me all choked up buddy. I praise God for Brothers in the Lord like you. Peace and Grace to you, Dan K. |

Thanks again, Dan; You're right; it's not Christianity 101. It's where the rubber meets the road. Author Dallas Willard once said that "God lives at the end of your rope". I have always found that when I get there, God was there waiting. Sometimes I'm so busy trying to climb back up on my own that I forget to notice him there. Dumb me. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
