"You overcome anxiety not by fighting it but by casting it onto Someone greater than you. The pathway to peace starts with knowing God as Father because you have trusted in His Son as Savior. If you have this confidence, then smile - your greatest need in life has already been met."
- Excerpt from 'Consider the Lilies' by Jonny Ardavanis

A team from The Academy of Arts traveling 'drama ministry program' will be performing an abridged version of the musical "The Child Stealer: Amy Carmichael's Fight for the Children of India" at Emmaneul Baptist Church on July 3rd at 6:30pm.

This inspiring production tells the incredible true story of Amy Carmichael, an Irish missionary who bravely went to India as a single woman. Her daring and courage became widely known as she opened a safe house to rescue children from trafficking in Hindu temples. She served in India for fifty-five years without a furlough, and her dedication to God has inspired many Christians to become missionaries and remain steadfast in their faith.

This event is open to all ages (no childcare will be provided). Parents, please be aware that while adult-level themes will be discussed due to the nature of the circumstances in the story, the issues are portrayed in a tactful way.

Light snacks/cookies following the show. There is no cost for admission, but an offering will be taken at the event to support the Academy of Arts.

Spiritual disciplines (such as structured Bible reading, scheduled prayer, fasting, and etc.) are tools for Christian growth. You won't obtain salvation by trying harder or going through the motions. Only through faith in Jesus Christ can you be truly justified before God. If you aren't saved, you don't need more discipline, you need a heart transformation.

"I dare to say that Christians who have genuinely come to love and trust Jesus Christ have also renounced this world and have chosen a new model after which to pattern their lives. Further, we should say that this is the aspect of the Christian life that most people do not like. They want comfort. They want blessing. They want peace. But they recoil from this radical, revolutionary break with the world. To follow Christ in this rough and thorough-going way is too much for them! Actually, the true Christian dissents from the world because he knows that it cannot make good on its promises. As Christ's believing disciple, he is not left without a "norm" to which he seeks to be adjusted. The Lord Jesus Christ is Himself the norm, the ideally perfect model, and the worshiping soul yearns to be like Him. Indeed, the whole drive behind the Christian life is the longing to be conformed to the image of Christ!" - A. W. Tozer

"In Jesus, God has fulfilled the greatest promise of all: his promise that a Messiah was coming. ... Every detail of Jesus's birth was part of God's plan before the foundations of the earth were set in place. So the promises and prophecies of his birth were detailed and specific. God is not like a fortune teller, delivering a safe, generic prediction. No, these promises were made by the Lord of heaven and earth, who rules everything, everywhere, all of the time. You see, the promises of God are only as good as the extent of his sovereignty, because he can guarantee the delivery of his promises only in situations over which he has rule. Because he rules everything, everywhere, all of the time, however, his promises are specific and rock-solid."
- Paul David Tripp (Everyday Gospel Christmas Devotional)
