WILL YOU SURVIVE THE APOCALYPSE?

📖 🏺 We are Clay and Dust 🌄

Dear Reader–

A faith-building thought for the day:

Death reminds us that we are creatures.
​
Yet as fearsome as death is, it is nothing compared with meeting a holy God.
​
When we encounter him, the totality of our creatureliness breaks upon us and shatters the myth that we have believed about ourselves, the myth that we are demigods, junior-grade deities who will try to live forever.
​
RC Sproul

My prayer for you is that you will be overwhelmed by the holiness of God.

Lord, you have been our dwelling place
in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

You return man to dust
and say, “Return, O children of man!”

Psalm 90:1-3

And that in that overwhelm, you will draw near to know him in all He is…Because not only is He the holy God who made us. He took on flesh and came to redeem us from that inevitable death.

And He remains as our place of refuge–our comfort, our dwelling place.

God bless you,

Darlene

As you most likely know, I live in Izmir Turkey, and we live about 30 minutes away from the islands that gave both Odysseus and St. Paul all sorts of trouble. We cruised on a large tour boat, sailing around from sea cove to sea cove, where we dove in and swam in the Aegean sea. Sigh. So refreshing here mid-summer! One of our stops were the Siren Rocks….

Is it time to Quit?

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories When to Quit. Vera Morales (from the Return to Me book 2) reminds me that it’s easy to give up. Even when we have a great vision for what we want for our lives, sometimes we reach the tipping point where throwing in the towel seems so much more preferable. But in Vera’s Story, though she’s an optimist, life situations just gets to be too much for her. Some countries encourage suicide in hopeless situations. There’s a case…

Faith and Dogs: A Divine Connection

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Hey there Reader– I use and heartily recommend the M’Cheyne Bible reading plan. This morning I read a life-changing passage in Mark 7:23-30. Phoenicians, Dogs, & the Character of God The story takes place in Tyre. Jesus is brought into a house secretly to give him a bit of a pause amidst all the crowds. But the word is spread, and a young mother discovers that he has come. She rushes in and falls at his feet. The woman…
