The Work of Faith

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. (Hebrews 11:6 ESV) Our culture today has the intent of the 'easy button', make it easy for me. With the help of technology our thinking has changed drastically over time. We don't dig ditches, we use a trencher. We don't harvest crops, we pay corporations to do that for us. Though this may not be all bad this mentality falls into our spirituality. Faith is not easy to the natural man, especially in a high knowledgable society. Could this explain why so many people have trouble experiencing God? When you omit faith everything that is important crumbles. The key is found in this text, to seek Him, God Almighty. It isn't natural to the nature of mankind, it isn't easy because it requires intentionality, focus, time and things that we aren't necessarily used to. However, the rewards are out of this world! I encourage you to make this a priority at any cost.

Latest news on Bradley

Bradley was found by a California police officer north of San Francisco on April 8th, 2014. He was in good shape as far as his health and focus. The officer explained his parents were very concerned about him, especially after receiving the email he sent. He stated that we just read it wrong and he was still on a spiritual venture. After spending some time with Brad the police officer left him and reported the encounter to the Mountain View police in which they in turn provided us with the information. We are certainly glad that Bradley is ok and providing for himself well. We still miss him and are having trouble understanding his venture, yet God is in control of all things including our situation. Please continue to pray for Bradley as he looks for what God has for him and that truth will reign in his heart and mind. We also ask that you pray for us that we can accept the things we cannot change and be all we can be to the glory of God Almighty! Thank you for caring, praying and keeping track of this situation. God bless!
