One Walk with Jesus is about praying without ceasing, always giving thanks to our God. Praying specifically with eyes of faith and confidence in God’s will and purpose for me and mine…

A prayer…

Dear Lord God, Abba Father, Jesus my Savior, thank You for this new day and for this weekend with my children and grandchildren. You have blessed me and mine beyond measure. Your continued blessings don’t go unnoticed. Neither does all You bring my way throughout the day to keep me focused on You and all You use to show me Your sweet touch. It’s in these moments I get just enough wisdom and understanding to find the words to ask specifically for Your help for each of mine and for those You place in our walk. Thank You, hear my requests, show me how to pray more actively and specifically. Always knowing Your will, will be done on earth as in heaven. In Jesus name I pray. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

A thought… from Jesus Today Kids

Believe that I am the Lord of your future and that I have good things planned for you. My plans will give you hope and a good future. page 48, "While you Wait"

"I say this because I know what I have planned for you," says the Lord. "I have good plans for you. I don’t plan to hurt you. I plan to give you hope and a good future."
Jeremiah 29:11

View in browser Listen Subscribe Read More Facebook Twitter Defining and Defending Religious Freedom‘Born This Way’ A Helpful Acronym We’ve not seen in the United States, at least in recent memory, so many efforts to force Christians to act in ways that violate their consciences. Almost always, these demands are made in the name of sexual freedom—whether we’re talking about nuns being forced to provide contraception, bakers and florists having to participate in gay weddings, or adoption agencies being forced to place kids with same-sex couples. JOHN STONESTREET WITH G. SHANE MORRIS What makes these stories even more discouraging is how many Americans—especially Christians—don’t seem to understand our first freedom or even care all that much about it. According to a new survey by Barna, the number of Americans who say that religious freedom means “being able to believe and practice the core commitments and values of your faith” is still a majority, but it’s falling; down 14 percent since 2012. Even more troubling, pastors seem to be losing interest in the issue. Barna reports that just five years ago, a strong majority of Protestant clergy said they were “very concerned” that religious freedom would become more restricted. In the latest survey, that number fell to a paltry 34 percent. Barna editor-in-chief, Roxanne Stone says it’s easy to stop caring “when we feel protected by those currently in power.” But in doing so, Christians risk becoming just “another tribal group” jockeying for special favors from Washington. If we want to keep our freedoms after a new president is in the White House, we have to learn to “make the case for religious liberty as a positive social value for all people.” In other words, we have to be able to argue for this freedom as if it’s more than a retreat strategy. This is, of course, a real challenge in a culture where increasing numbers of people think religion should be kept private, and sexual preferences should be made public. Somehow, we must make the case that religious liberty is not only a good worth preserving, but that it’s essential to a free society. You might have heard of “S.L.E.D.” It’s an acronym which stands for “Size, Level of development, Environment, and Degree of dependency.” It makes the argument for unborn life simple and focused, even when things get emotional. It’s memorable and reusable. For a long time now, I’ve wished there were a "S.L.E.D." for religious freedom—something to help us remember the arguments and make the case in a convincing way. Well, my colleague Shane Morris has just came up with one: “F.R.E.E.” Free is an acronym that can walk you through an intelligent conversation about religious liberty. F is for Forcing. Forcing people to go against their beliefs for no good reason is a bad thing. This is a premise that even most secular people should be able to get behind. R stands for Reason. Is there a good reason to force a religious person to go against his or her belief in the case you’re discussing? And are there less burdensome alternatives to squashing this freedom, like using a bakery down the street or an adoption agency across town? The first E is for Examples. Offer examples that the person you’re talking with may not have thought of or heard of. Should a Muslim t-shirt designer be forced to create shirts mocking the prophet Muhammad? Should an Orthodox Jewish club at a university be forced to admit Christians as officers? Should an LGBT baker be forced to bake a cake with anti-gay slogans? The final E is one I think they’ll love: Equality. Christians who don’t agree with the new sexual orthodoxy should be equally free to live according to their faith, without being compelled to violate their consciences. Don’t hesitate to turn it around as a question: “If you think Muslims and Jews should have religious freedom in the examples we gave, why not Christians?” It’s not a silver bullet, nor does it say everything that we’ll need to about religious freedom, but “F.R.E.E” can help you have a conversation that’s intelligent and focused. If we can discuss religious freedom in a way that cuts through the rhetoric—the way many of us have learned to talk about abortion—we’ll have a chance of preserving this freedom no matter who’s in office.

After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter replied, “you know I love you.” “Then feed my lambs,” Jesus told him. Jesus repeated the question: “Simon son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter said, “you know I love you.” “Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus said. A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep.

This has been a great series, so much so that I wanted to share…

Hear C.S. Lewis speak in one of the last-surviving WWII BBC radio messages that would go on to become the classic bestseller Mere Christianity.

Imagine with me what it would be like to live in London during World War II. Think of the neighboring countries you once thought were formidable as they quickly fall to Germany’s rapidly advancing forces. It’s only a matter of time until the war reaches your front door. Before you know it, the air raids begin. This is what it was like early on in World War II. As Nazi bombs rained down onto London rooftops, the British people were beginning to despair. Victory seemed nearly impossible against such a powerful foe. So where do you turn when it seems like death is closing in on you and all hope is lost? Surprisingly, the religious radio department of the BBC asked an unknown scholar for help. He was not yet famous and had not yet written The Chronicles of Narnia, but C.S Lewis knew how to speak about faith in Jesus on a level everyone could understand. Undaunted by those who deemed him "unqualified," Lewis rose to the task by speaking plainly and persuasively to his beleaguered nation, encouraging millions to turn to Jesus in the hour of their greatest need. He explained what it really meant to be a Christian and walk with Jesus. Hear C.S. Lewis speak in one of the last-surviving recordings of these historic radio messages that went on to become the classic bestseller Mere Christianity. The impact of his explosive ideas surpassed everyone’s expectations, and became the basis of Lewis’ famous book Mere Christianity. This dramatic story is captured so well in Focus on the Family Radio Theatre’s C.S. Lewis at War, an audio drama depicting how Lewis found himself behind the microphone during some of the darkest days the world has ever known. It’s incredibly well-done, entertaining, and spiritually encouraging. As we approach the 75th Anniversary of D-Day on June 6, I want to send you this 2-disc set as my “thank you” for your gift to Haven Ministries. Request “C.S. Lewis at War” today!
