It has been an honor to be included in the heritage of Great Lakes Christian College. Its reach spans the globe and is active in many ministries. I have been witness to those from Mexico to Hong Kong and have fond memories of each. I have watched other Christian colleges close though their reach was even greater, but GLCC remains strong and marches onward serving the next generation of preachers, teachers and missionaries. I can’t say enough about this college’s commitment to excellence and the standard it produced in me as a member of God’s Kingdom. As we await Jesus’s 2nd coming, may we greet Him with our service of praise bringing many to Him, amen.

“Lord, be with this magnificent 7 of AI VIPs. Be at work guarding their thoughts and minds. Draw them closer to You. Bless them with new and better ideas than they could come up with on their own. May they help to lead this AI focused world into a future of a ‘Golden Age’ for all mankind. May it be for the accomplishment of Your holy will. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
“Dear Mr. President, Thank you for all you have done for our great nation. You have been hard at work restoring the greatness of America from the mess President Biden had made of it. In that same spirit, please restore your previous designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) due to the alarming and ongoing persecution of Christians across the country. It is my understanding that President Biden had reversed that designation during his tragic term. It is also my understanding that Congressman Moore has already addressed this on October 6 with Marco Rubio. Please take immediate action to address the systematic persecution and slaughter of Christians in Nigeria. Thank you. Brian Carter”
I saw this today:
“Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a “COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR COCERN” — But that is the least of it. When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 Worldwide), something must be done! I am asking Congressman Riley Moore, together with Chairman Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee, to immediately look into this matter, and report back to me. The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other Countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian population around the World!”
DONALD J. TRUMP,
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
God’s timing is amazing. I know that I’m not the only one who has contacted the President. CBN has reported on this, and multiple news sources have notified people of this atrocity. What a great way to wake up on a Saturday morning.
If a man rolls a stone, it will roll back on him.”
Oh this was a fun one! We said our prayers inviting the Holy Spirit to teach us and show us how Jesus fulfilled the book of Proverbs. We boldly said our declaration of: “I am a child of God! He loves me, so I love me!” We then took a moment and said our introduction that we’ve been using for at least 10 years and read our next verse, Proverbs 26:27.
Immediately we were confronted with a popular scene in many Western movies, when the antagonist makes his victim dig his own grave. The footnote in my Bible compares it to Psalm 7:16, “The trouble he causes recoils on himself.” If not for a villain’s command, why would anyone dig a pit? Was it like the Psalm inferred or was it for a trap? For us, we looked at it like ‘the more you keep on talking, the deeper you dig.’ The point was, “Stop digging!” For whatever the plan, it will not turn out like you think it will.
The next part of the Proverb came out as a scene from an Indiana Jones movie, The Raiders of the Lost Ark. But instead of Indiana rolling the stone in place, it was rolling after him! What does the stone the Proverb mentioned represent? Unlike for a boobytrap to protect a religious cultural artifact, the rock can represent regrets the man would rather hide.
We ended with our favorite question, “How did Jesus fulfill the book of Proverbs to make us into new creations, 2 Corinthians 5:17?” We were brought right to Jesus’ empty tomb, John 20:1. Here the rock didn’t roll back upon us, for our trouble was removed by the Blood of the Lamb, Hebrews 8:12.
