And of some have compassion making a difference. Jude 22 This is one of those verses that can help keep you and me living and going in the right direction, especially in difficulties and life's challenges. Be kind, be present if possible, be considerate, and you can be one of those who truly make a difference. In the home, at work, at the hospital or care facility, in the ambulance, or even in a jailhouse—wherever God puts you or you choose to be. Be involved in compassion ministry—mercy ministry. Share the burden, help lift the load, and bring cheer to those struggling in some way in life. I've been thrust into this complex, yet helpful and needful ministry. Shout out to every CNA, nurse, doctor, EMT worker, police officer, highway patrolman, counselor, sister or brother, or whoever you may be—thanks for making a difference! Keep caring even when it gets really tough; be one of those who make a difference. Pastor Paulson

John 9:1-3 has been on my mind for nearly two weeks now. The probable first reaction by most people to suffering is to think somebody sinned. I remember a time in my past when a pastor lost a son to a tragic death, and some Christians around me were quick to conclude that someone in the family was sinning or had sinned. What! I knew this family and thought, why do people jump to judgment or conclude someone sinned when something tragic happens to someone? The disciples thought that, Job's friends thought that too, and they were wrong. Jesus didn't berate these disciples but rather kindly corrected them, saying this is for the glory of God. Jesus taught that blindness from birth would bring Him glory. I'll admit that I once believed suffering was mainly because of the curse or because people sin or people sin against God, or for other common reasons like making poor choices. However, I am more convinced than ever that sometimes, maybe more than we think, suffering happens for the glory of God. Why suffering? To bring about good for others - Jesus and Joseph suffered to bring about life and good for others. To the disciples who saw a man blind from birth, their reasoning was there were but two answers to why this happened - parents sinned or the blind man sinned - nope, this man was born blind to bring glory to God.

Evidence of a Master Designer and Creator!!!

Scientists have discovered that ants, after collecting the seeds and grains they eat, hide them underground and break them in two halves. They do this because, if the seeds are split in two, they do not germinate, even in a favorable environment.

The real surprise, however, was observing that ants break coriander seeds into four parts.

After further research, scientists discovered that coriander seeds can germinate even if split in half, but they do not germinate if they are broken into four pieces. Who told them how to do this? Sure wasn't random chance evolution.

A fascinating and strategic behavior that came from an Intelligent Creator.

No way this is by chance 😊

The atheist shrugs and calls this chance. Creation answers back with power and conviction.

Order never rises from chaos and beauty never writes itself. Design REQUIRES a Designer, and one single snowflake is enough to render unbelief without excuse
