encouragment and Strongholds concert
We have been informed that many christian students from the Beirut area regularly check the site and wholly support the ministry. That was a much needed boost, thank you Jesus. May they also contribute to the service of the saints and those who would be sanctified by the blood of the Lamb.
I have just arrived home from a christian concert, presented by a lebanese band named "Strongholds". This time around was certainly an improvement over last year's concert by the same very talented band. It is refreshing and releaving to see youth singing praises to the glory of the Lamb alone, inspired by the Bible. I have bought their newly released, first CD. All concert entries are free. Now that this group is more visible than ever, I worry for them much. I pray the Lord will keep them from the insiduous plans of satan;
that they might always give all the praise to Jesus,
that they might never sell out to the commercial market and start taking out the name of JESUS from their songs,
that they might never stop preaching the exclusivity of Jesus for salvation,
that pride might never consume them;
in sum and most importantly, to remember that God wants obedience before sacrifice.
