Journey to China

This picture was taken Friday morning at the Pasco airport. That was the morning that Mark and Kari Almquist started their journey to China. Mark is wearing the green shirt and Kari is wearing the white shirt and they are both standing in the middle of the picture. They will be gone for two weeks and will be picking up their newly adopted baby girl Mia. Please visit their blog. They will be keeping it updated with all kinds of messages and pictures of their trip. Make sure you leave them a message since I am sure they would love to hear from you.

The salvation of lost and sinful man is only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit and is absolutely essential; the truly saved person becomes justified by God on the basis of grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone (John 1:12–13; 3:36; Romans 3:23; 6:23; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Ephesians 1:7; 2:1–3, 8–10; 1 Peter 1:18–19; 1 John 1:8. (Borrowed from the Community Bible Church doctrinal statement)

Isaiah 45:11-12 This is what the LORD says— the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: Concerning things to come, do you question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands? It is I who made the earth and created mankind upon it. My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts.

Men today do not, perhaps, burn the Bible, nor does the Roman Catholic Church any longer put it on the Index, as it once did. But men destroy it in the form of exegesis: they destroy it in the way they deal with it. They destroy it by not reading it as written in normal, literary form, by ignoring its historical-grammatical exegesis, by changing the Bible's own perspective of itself as propositional revelation in space and time, in history.... - Francis Schaeffer, Death in the City [1969]
