A FAITH-LIFT

Last night was the first team meeting for the 2015 South Georgia Chrysalis weekends. It has been several years since I have served on any of the Chrysalis teams, and I have been looking forward to this for some time.

While it was nice to catch up with some old friends last night, it was a faith-lift to see all those young men and women in high school and college who are willing to stand up and serve their Lord and Savior in this ministry!

Sometimes we get a slanted impression of the world from the media. When we see news shows cutting to a green screen at the mention of Jesus and claiming "technical difficulty," when we see atheists posting billboards around the country proclaiming no Jesus this Christmas, when we see Christians bashed on TV and in movies and in the public realm, it can be discouraging. It can make it seem as if Satan is winning.

But he's not! God has won! The battle was over when the Christ-child was born in a manger on Christmas morning and when Jesus proclaimed from the cross, "IT IS FINISHED!"

Do you want proof the battle is over and Jesus has won? Just look at the young men and women who are serving on this year's Chrysalis and who faithfully stand up for Jesus in their churches, their schools, and their homes every single day!
