Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. Habakkuk 3:17-19a

Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10

The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Jeremiah 31:3

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night. Psalm 92:1, 2

TOLERANCE IS THE LAST VIRTUE OF A DYING SOCIETY. Aristotle

The information above was written by a friend of ours from Florida, and we think it is a good summation of where we are in our culture. Like the analogy of the frog boiling to death in water before he realizes he is dying, the majority of Americans have settled for this mantle of deception, “tolerance”. It has permeated society through the educational programming of the last forty years, and the lack of parents passing on the torch of Truth to their children with conviction and integrity. We have realized too late that IDEAS DO HAVE CONSEQUENCES, and our assumptions do determine our conclusions! However history is written over these next few days, it is important for those of us who are truly believers to respond in these “gloriously dark times” as is befitting one who follows Jesus Christ. Jesus came to serve and to die and to give His life as a ransom for those who would receive Him (Mark 10:45). We might not be able to “fight the system” but we can live for the glory of God where He has us, making a difference in our areas of influence. There will be a cost, perhaps unpleasant circumstances, but are we willing to get serious and arm ourselves for what might be our “calling” for such a time as this?

Our Fall trip to the east coast and then to Indiana preceded by a week of two sets of dear friends in the guest house has left us wondering how time can pass so fast! It was only the last of September and now almost November! It was a very fast paced three weeks of travel, and how we appreciated the generous hospitality of so many homes and the opportunity to be refreshed by like-minded friends and family. We had so many great ministry opportunities and we praise God for the way He opens doors and provides divine appointments.

Taryn and Mirren continue to work toward their dissertations. We pray this process will continue to mold and make them into the vessels that will be useful to their Lord, and to prepare them for every good work.

We are apparently in limbo with our DVD production at this moment, so please be praying that this project will be available for Christmas as we have been anticipating—a supernatural intervention!

Let us somehow remember to celebrate the least celebrated holiday of the year…Thanksgiving. As we all know, this very important event is relegated to eating and sports and is a very real indication of where our hearts really are. We are a people that FEEL entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Are we willing to humble ourselves with grateful hearts to the ONE who has enabled us to live in this abundant land of prosperity, ease and freedom? If all that changes in the near future, will we be able to live out the Scriptures above?

Come, ye thankful people come; Raise the song of harvest home;

All is safely gathered in, Ere the winter storms begin.

God our Maker, doth provide, For our wants to be supplied,

Come to God’s own temple, come; Raise the song of harvest home.
