Christchurch, New Zealand - Here We Come

Many of you are aware that our home city has been devastated by an earthquake. Since the 7.1 quake in September 2010, there have been over 4500 aftershocks, the latest (6.3) being on Tuesday February 22nd at 1.00PM.
Jenni and I will be in Christchurch this week visiting family and friends. Please pray that we may be able to encourage them in the midst of this overwhelming tragedy.

Thought you might be interested in the National Anthem of New Zealand - the words are awesome.

The Tragedy of the Lack of Knowledge

This last week I had the privilege to hear Dr. R.T. Kendall preach at a conference in Orlando. It was vintage R.T. preaching! He shared on The Tragedy of the Lack of Knowledge from Hosea 4:6 - "My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge!" Lack of knowledge of:

- God's Word
- The Will of God
- God's Ways
- God's Wisdom
- The Works of God.

What is the destruction? We will be yesterday's man or woman!
The challenge to me was to deliberately up the time I spend with God.
"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you O God.
My soul thirsts for God. Where can I go and meet with God!" Psalm 42:1-2
