A Question Demanding an Answer

Check out the sermons at the Mars Hill site!

          Lately, as I am working, I have been listening to the series by Mark Driscoll. He preached through the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20 this past fall at Mars Hill Church in Seattle, Washington. This really caught my attention as I was listening to the third sermon in the series titled Do not take God's Name in Vain.

"Here’s the question that you need to ponder: will you bend your knee to Jesus today for salvation or on the last day for damnation? The question is not, will you bow your knee? The question is, will you bow it now or bow it then? Will you bow it now for salvation? Will you bow it now for eternal life? Will you bow it then for damnation? Will you bow it then for eternal condemnation? Everyone will bend their knee because he is worthy. He’s given us a great opportunity to do so today for life and not death, for joy and not destruction."

          So today, now, this moment, will you bend your knee to Jesus, the Savior of the world? He is the One that has set us free from bondage and brought us into fellowship with God. Or will you wait until you see His face moments before damnation? It's strong, straightforward, but a reality we must face. 

Mission's Conference Review

The Lord was once again faithful–He brought us through this year's mission conference alive (and not just in the literal sense of the word). It was a weekend of crazy schedules, wonderful messages from John Barnett, and great music for the whole weekend. It was a lot of work and well worth it. But we came out alive, full of encouragement, renewed and refreshed from the Word of God!
I don't want to write too much but here are two songs that I had the privilege of sharing with the audience (two of my favorites right now). The first is "Called me Higher" by All Sons and Daughters. The second is "Oceans (Where feet may Fail)" by Hillsong (click on the links to see me perform them!).

And now here is the weekend in pictures:

Many, many guests attended the event

The two groups that we intend to support with prayerfully and financially throughout the next months. 

"You have called me higher, you have called me deeper..."

And now this week has held hours of English tutoring, a Sing Team ministry on Saturday, making students do their jobs, and so on. Another blessed week.

Mission's Conference

The weekend has finally come for the mission's conference titled His Last Command, Our First Concern. If you would like to tune in, the meeting times are as follows with California time in parentheses:

There will be great preaching from John Barnett–father of eight, pastor in Michigan, previous associate pastor of Grace Community Church in California. There will be skits, translation(!!), and presentations from WOL Romania as well as the other group we are supporting financially and prayerfully.

I hope that you can tune in to this special event. This is an event that changes people's lives. Please pray for the students as they make decisions. Please pray for the staff as we continue to prepare. Please pray for John Barnett as he preaches and brings the Word of God to many who are attending physically or via live stream.

2014

Happy New Year! Boldog új évet!

          The year twenty thirteen was a great year from start to finish. I saw many time the Lord's hand in situations that I had no control over. I experienced so wonderfully the Lord's mercy in everyday circumstances. I started the year 2013 in Hungary and ended it here as well. In between were classes, a graduation, a great job in Pine Valley, and the start of an internship with Word of Life. It's a blessing to live this life for the Lord and I learned that more and more this past year.
          So what about this new year of 2014? As I saw the Lord in the past, so I know I will in the future. There is no doubt in my mind that God's hand will remain in my life. It's a for sure thing that He will continue in His everlasting faithfulness. Psalm 100:5 reads, "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." What a wonderful promise that is to His people! Also as great and marvelous is that the Lord is ever loving. Lamentations 3:22-23, my verses for the year 2013, read, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning.Great is thy faithfulness." 
          It's already the eighth of January and I don't have a verse for 2014. Shame, shame. Amongst other things, I need to really get on that. Now I'm preparing all the music for the mission's conference that is coming up. I have already put the newest students here at WOL Hungary into their new work assignments. And I just got the privilege of heading up the Sing Team musically (as opposed to meeting with Hungarian pastors and such). I'm battling a cold, too. But I know that the Lord is faithful and will pull me through this busy time! Thank you all for your prayers and encouraging words.

Most of our staff is back from the holiday!

Christmas at the Weaver's home!
