Hi everyone.
This week started out with a day with the brethren at Cell53 Church in Lewiston, Maine. We had a great time together full of fellowship, worship, and ministry. First we all got together and had a time of worship through songs, then a time of sharing what people have been learning through the Bible, followed by confession of sins, and communion.
After that we all went down to one of the bridges near the church where there was a Walk For Life event taking place. When we got there all of us had forgotten our signs, so some of us were just standing on the bridge talking and others were in a group praying together. One gentleman then came over and handed us some signs that we could borrow which was helpful.
Some of the people in our group looked at the back of the signs and saw that they said things such as: you can pray to yourself but not to loud, do not talk to much, and things of that nature. I do not know if you knew this but when our group is around we do not know how to stop talking (haha). Brian said he had not read the back of the sign and he was going to preach, which is so much like Brian.
We had a great time together and are grateful to God for giving us the opportunity to meet such bold brothers and sisters in Christ, such as those at Cell53.
I finally got to see where everything happens in the recording of Cell53 Radio. I have to say that their building is pretty cool. Cell53 meets in an old bar, so there is still a giant bar area in one part of the room which is really neat looking. The basement / studio is a normal basement, yet The Honorable Minister Andrew X, B-Easy, T-Money and others, find the time to sit down there for a few hours every week, to record radio shows to encourage their brethren in Christ as they strive to glorify Him with their lives. (I did not come up with the nicknames and I only used one of Andrew names, he has multiples.)
Just the other day someone posted a debate that Sye Ten Bruggencate did at the end of September. He was debating Matthew Isaacs about the existence of God. While Matthew is on the opposing side from the Christians, I have to say he is at least kind and respectful, and unlike some others who disagree with our Christian worldview, he does not call Sye stupid.
Sadly when people disagree with us they sometimes resort to Ad Hominem attacks (attacking the person who made the argument instead of the argument itself) instead of using logic to actually defend their argument. When someone uses Ad Hominem attacks,he commits a logical fallacy. The thing is, in any worldview other than a Biblical worldview, there is no basis for Laws Of Logic, or Uniformity In Nature.
Other worldviews also do not provide the Preconditions For Intelligibility needed to make knowledge possible. Since other worldviews display all these problems when considered thoroughly, people who claim to believe in them sometimes resort to using logical fallacies instead of trying to come up with a logical way to defend their worldview which can not account for laws of logic in the first place. As Sye Ten Bruggencate often says, the choice is either God or absurdity.
I have been reading Ultimate Proof Of Creation by Dr. Jason Lisle, which I suggest everyone reads if they have not already. It is a great book which covers a lot of ground in relation to defending our Christian faith. I have learned a lot from reading Dr. Lisle and I would encourage everyone to read his material.
On Saturday Donald Trump will be in Bangor. Our family may be going out to the rally to do some evangelism, please let me know if you would interested in coming. If you do not wish to come or can not make it please pray that the Gospel will go out with power and conviction, that God be glorified as we tell the world about our glorious God.
Prayer
Please continue to pray for my friends the Hill family. They are currently in the hospital with their oldest daughter Sherri as she recovers from brain surgery and problems relating to that. It looks like when they leave, they will have been in the hospital for at least 2 weeks, maybe more. While dealing with this their son also broke his heal and is still recovering from that. The family also has 2 other children under the age of 3. Currently the family is staying at the Ronald McDonald house while Sherri is in the hospital which has kind of become a home away from home for this family. Yet through all this they continue to glorify God and share His goodness with all around them.
With love in the Lord,
Virginia.
