O King of the Nations
Lord, who would not fear you, O King of the nations? For that is your
due. Jeremiah 10:7
This verse is great!!! Think about it. Think about the implications of this verse. For what is His due? Who is the King of the Nations? Who will fear Him? Every tongue, tribe and nation is who will fear Him and who is the King of the Nations, none other than the unique and unambiguous Jesus Christ.

Do we have Judas in our hearts?
At a missions conference I was at I was thinking about the large amounts of money that the students spent to attend. There were 20,000 people there and most of them paid at least $300 a person and that is with the early bird rate. Then when you think about how much money they were going to spend on books and cds at the conference and also on eating out, we are talking a few million dollars in disposable income that was at the hands of these few individuals.
Then we think about churches here in the states that spend crazy amounts of money on large foyers with fountains, bowling alleys, coffee shops inside the church, and landscaping. We look at this and we think of how many Jesus films can be produced with that money since it only takes $25,000 to make a Jesus film. Money is not going out fast enough.
We must remember in all of this to not allow our pride to get the best of us. It is wrong to horde money and spend it lavishly on ourselves, but it is also wrong to judge how others should be spending money, especially when they perceive they are pouring it out upon Jesus feet as a bottle of rich perfume. When this happened in the Gospel’s it wasn’t Jesus who got upset at how money was spent, but It was Judas. It later said that he was stealing from the treasury and he wanted the money to himself. The Scriptures are true when it says that we have to guard our hearts for out of them come the issues of life. In self-examination, gentleness and humility let us maintain keeping planks out of our own eyes, so that we can better encourage, challenge and equip our brothers and sisters to remove the splinter from theirs, so they could more readily see Jesus.
Should we Evangelize Apes?
“And He said to them, “Go into all the world and
preach the gospel to all creation.”
Mark 16:15
There is a legal battle going on regarding whether Apes should have the same legal rights as humans and be eligible to a guardian. Because they are 96% genetically the same as humans they should share the same rights as us is the argument. I heard this story on the BBC World Service on NPR.
My quesiton is if it is so important to give apes who have escaped vivasection a home, why is isn’t it as important to us to seek and to save those who are lost, especially those among the Unreached. Is this not worse than vivesection of animals? Today there are cultures that are 100% human, just like Jesus is, and they still have yet to know who He is. 2 billion people are left without a witness to hear the gospel. Please consider going to this website and picking one of these people groups and pray for them consistently and if not that pray for them at least once to have laborers go and tell them.
