Choose Life

“I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants” Deuteronomy 30:19

During the last two weeks we have been faced with many life issues. Just in the last few days we have been faced with 3 suicides. It is evident that there is a crisis of selfishness and hopelessness surrounding many lives today. My heart is so heavy because each person is created unique and with purpose (Psalm 139).

Recently we have has the opportunity to minister to some young Marines on the edge. We intentionally set out to love them and show them that we are not turned off by their sin. We enclose them with fellowship and share with them the love of Christ. I am constantly amazed at what a little love and forbearance will do in a hopeless soul. Within a short time they begin to value their lives and find hope in the fact that one couple finds them worth the effort. To look into their eyes and see hope is always humbling, as I know without Christ none of this is possible (John 14:6).

Please continue to pray for us as we minister here. We are standing at the crossroads of life for many of these young people here. Our ability to reach out and help is only limited by their lack of desire for help. Please pray with us that they will reach for help before the disenchantment of life, costs them their own life.
