This message was at the San Diego VA Medical Center by Pastor Grant Van Leuven who was on duty this week as a chaplain resident and this included conducting and preaching for the Protestant Chapel Service this Lord's Day. Christians must not be anxious over anything but instead pray to God about everything and always enjoy His supernatural, peaceful presence. Don't Worry, Be Praying.

All sins are ultimately rebellion against God Who redeems us by requiring our utter brokenness over them. Your Sinning Should Completely Humble You.

Walking in the light of Christ and His Word provides the wonderful communion of the saints. Walk in the Light and Enjoy Enlightening Fellowship.

Christians can point unbelievers to God witnessing to His Own Self by giving everyone ample self-sufficient evidence in His supplying them rain and thus their enjoying its sustenance. God Gives Himself a Witness to the World by Giving Us All Rain.

After our evening worship service, during food and fellowship in the Fireside room we had an evening of insights, discussion, and Q&A about global prolife mission work with Tammy De Armas, Director of Mission Advancement for PassionLife. Understanding prolife work as world-missions; or, storming the strongholds where abortion, infanticide and gendercide is especially concentrated and providing lif...
