A Lamp In The Dark: Untold History Of Bible
Enter into a world of saints and martyrs battling against spies, assassins and wolves in sheep's clothing.
Throughout the Middle Ages, the Papal Inquisition forbade biblical translation, threatening imprisonment and death to those who disobeyed. Learn the stories of valiant warriors of the faith, such as John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, Martin Luther, the ancient Waldenses, Albigenses and others who hazarded their lives for the sake of sharing the Gospel light with a world drowning in darkness.
Once the common people were able to read the Bible, the world was turned upside down through the Protestant Reformation. The Reformers subdued whole kingdoms by preaching the grace of God, and exposing the unbiblical doctrines of Rome. In response, the Vatican would launch a Counter Reformation to destroy the work of the Reformers, including the bibles they produced.

Heaven’s hands
You are called to be Heaven’s
hands... and Heaven’s voice.
This is happiness...
___________________________
I had just plopped
down on the couch in the living room, Spiritual Leadership in
one hand, and my iPad in the other, waiting for family time.
Then the dispatcher down at the
county seat hit a button on her console... The button that gets us moving
faster than any other button in the world.
And the pager came alive.
“An ambulance is requested at ___
for a __ year old female with difficulty breathing...”
Joshua, Natasha and I were out the
door by the time she finished repeating the tone.
And driving down the road towards
town, I prayed the same prayer that is in our hearts every time we jump into
our uniforms and grab our radios.
“...and let us be Your hands to our
patient this evening. In Jesus’ name...”
She really was in trouble. Enough
trouble that when we got her in the rig, she got three lines of oxygen instead
of one. But God knew she needed more than just our medications and a ride to
the nearest hospital.
She needed a song.
It was the farthest thing from our
minds...
But no matter. He has His ways...
And before we were halfway to the hospital, the three of us found ourselves
singing O Lord, You’re Beautiful...
And she was leaning back on the cot
still wheezing heavily, but with her eyes closed and a smile on her face.
When we finished, the panic was
gone. She said she could die in peace... because her angels
had sung for her.
I just looked at her.
I promise you, we’re not angels.
For one thing, angels sing in tune. We could barely hear each other from the
three corners of the back of the ambulance with all the road noise...
But I learned that sometimes all He
needs is for us to be willing to lift the lid on protocol for just one second
and move our lips so that He can sing...
By the time our charting was done
and we left the ER, every staff member there had heard the tale of her
angels.
All I could do was shake my head.
And wonder at what we might have
missed...
We are called to be Heaven’s
hands... and Heaven’s voice.
This is happiness. And an honor
entirely undeserved.
An hour later I pulled back through the dark streets of our quiet
little town, and up to the white metal building we affectionately call “the
barn.”
Thank You, Jesus. Thank You for riding this ambulance today.

Embrace the Cross - Christian Berdahl
I am crucified with Christ
Therefore I no longer live
Jesus Christ now lives in me
(Repeat twice)
Embrace the cross
Where Jesus suffered
Though it will cost
All you claim as yours
Your sacrifice will seem small
Beside the treasure
Eternity can't measure
What Jesus holds in store
Embrace the love
The cross requires
Cling to the one
Whose heart knew every pain
Receive from Jesus
Fountains of compassion
Only He can fashion
Your heart to move as His
Oh, wondrous cross our desires rest in you
Lord Jesus make us bolder
To face with courage the shame and disgrace
You bore upon Your shoulder
Embrace the life
That comes from dying
Come trace the steps
The Savior walked for you
An empty tomb
Concludes Golgotha's sorrow
Endure then till tomorrow
Your cross of suffering
Embrace the cross
Embrace the cross
The cross of Jesus

BREAKING NEWS FROM CHINA
BREAKING NEWS FROM CHINA! God opened
big doors to the world's largest group of souls hungry for truth.
Working prayerfully for months with church leaders and local government
officials, Amazing Facts conducted a full-scale, 15-part Bible prophecy
outreach series in Wuxi, China! Day after day thousands came, and sat
attentively with a notepad and with their Bibles open as Pastor Doug
Batchelor preached everlasting Gospel to the masses. This miraculous,
historic event is the first time a public religious series has been
presented by a foreigner of any faith in this nation since 1959!
