We hope you come for more than just the food – say, the mission perhaps -but while you’re here, you will eat pretty dang well. Just ask Elijah; food is important!

So monumental, the Smithsonian will write about it!

Featured Article: The gods of the Prosperity Gospel

This week’s featured article touches on a vitally important subject — the prosperity gospel.

What’s behind this article is deeper however, as you will read, the author, Dieudonné Tamfu, left his life in America to return to Cameroon, solely to preach the true gospel message of Christ. Tamfu’s heart is to carry the pearl of great value to the people without it, his work is missions. The sad thing about this is that even in this country where there are churches and preachers, what is missing is the true gospel.

Who will say with Isaiah, “Here am I, send me”.

When the passion for material things becomes god, God and his word become means. The movement dethrones Jesus so that his word becomes merely a manual for mammon, a guide to gold, a footpath to fitness, and a means to might. Ministry becomes business. Preachers “see preaching as a way to make money. In fact, the Greek word translated exploit could be used to refer to a business transaction, as it is in James 4:13, which talks about people discussing business plans. For the false teachers, ministry has become a business aimed at satisfying their covetousness.” The idolatrous and insatiable love for things leads to gross distortions of God’s word.

If you’re thinking about taking the One Year Challenge, chances are you have already been praying about the decision. And for those who have taken the challenge, prayer continues to be important, but it isn’t always easy to do.

This article, by Jeremy Linneman, discusses this intersection of desiring to pray, but not finding it so simple, and dissects the book “Possibilities of Prayer”, by John Starke.

God invites us to know and enjoy him in prayer. It’s the place we meet with God and discover his healing and peace. Therefore, the major work of prayer has already been accomplished; at the cross, Jesus has made the way for us to sit before the Father without fear or shame.

From “The Cost of Discipleship” by Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

“The road to faith passes through obedience to the call of Jesus. Unless a definite step is demanded, the call vanishes into thin air, and if men imagine that they can follow Jesus without taking this step, they are deluding themselves like fanatics.”

This week’s song comes from the city of our newest OYC site… Taipei! In the island of Taiwan, this region, very similar to China mainland in many ways, is open to religion in a way that mainland is not. Enjoy this great worship song, and take a minute to consider that Taiwan has and can continue to be a great launching point for the gospel into the massive mission field of mainland China, even in Taipei, the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.
