last night at bible study, after about 35 minutes of worship and prayer together, we talked about Revelation 5, the exaltation of Jesus above all creation, worshipped by all creation along with hundreds of thousands of angels. Jesus, given all authority to judge the earth on the last day. after that one couple in our group who's lives have been radically transformed by Jesus power told their story. But the highlight of the night was that a visitor to the group gave his life to Jesus for the first time, as we all knelt on the living room floor and prayed.

we live in brighton park, in a neighborhood dominated primarily by the two-six gang. although we're not sure if it was gang related, last night someone fired 4 shots into the windows of the house next door. i don't know our neighbors very well (i don't think they speak english), so i'm not sure if they're mixed up in gang activity. no one was hurt...
holly and i have been looking at houses in the archer heights neighborhood, which is a nicer area to the southwest of us, but things like this make me want to buy a house right here, where the need for Christ's light to shine is so great. show me what you want for my family Lord, we'll go anywhere you want.posted by Chaddo 1/22/2003 10:28:32 AM
4:00 am Sunday, Rodi Alcantara died of lung cancer. most of you did not know this man. 4 years ago he had a radical conversion and came to Christ, and so did his wife, 3 adult children, son in law and others. his testimony of a transformed life impacted many people. we've watched his physical life slowly ebb away in the past 6 months, but as he grew physically weaker, his vision for God strengthened, and his impact on others increased. pray for Jovita, his wife, and family. pray for me, as his daughter and son in law are in our homegroup and close to us.
"when I go, don't cry for me... in my Father's arms I'll be...
it don't matter where you bury me.. i'll be home and i'll be free..."posted by Chaddo 1/21/2003 09:18:35 AM
