Request "God's Double Agent" Book Today

Forward this Email to a Friend Dear Friends, Today, I want to encourage you to request a copy of Bob Fu's best-selling book, God's Double Agent, with your financial support.  On Sunday, Debra and I were together with Bob Fu at a church service where he was speaking. While he knew it was dangerous, he refuses to be silenced. The church added extra security, and thankfully there were no issues. Bob preached an amazing sermon highlighting that we are "persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies." –2 Corinthians 4:9-10 [ESV] We visited after the service, and Bob updated me on his current situation. We also discussed our plans for further ministry to China. Recently, when China made it illegal for children to attend church, we provided 5,000 copies of The Pilgrim's Progress movie to China Aid. They distributed the movies to Sunday school teachers who chose to teach the message of Jesus to children even though it was against government regulations. Bob, his wife Heidi, and their children remain under police protection after what local police determined were credible death threats against him and his family. Protestors associated with the Chinese Communist Party continue to protest daily outside his home in Midland, TX.  Even though the threats on his life are real, Bob continues to share the Gospel and encourage Christians in the US to keep fighting against communism and the severe persecution facing our brothers and sisters in China.  In response to the ongoing threats against Bob Fu, we have committed to begin production of The Pilgrim's Progress in Chinese Sign Language "CSL." The film has been well-received in China (we have had the film in Mandarin for over one year now), and will reach many more people with the addition of CSL. There are over 20 million deaf people in China, so this is a great opportunity for missions. Please take this chance today to support RevelationMedia, and receive God's Double Agent with your contribution. I know you will be blessed by Bob Fu's testimony and ministry efforts to support the underground church in China. All donations received will also be equally shared with China Aid to assist Bob Fu and his organization in these difficult times. Your free copy of God's Double Agent will be sent from RevelationMedia.   Thank you for standing with us as we continue our support to the front lines of global missions!

💗our words are an overflow of what is going on in our hearts

The lips of the righteous nourish many. — Proverb 10:21.  Nourishing Words Ruth Schwenk, from Settle My Soul The lips of the righteous nourish many. — Proverbs 10:21   There was once a monk who, like many followers of Jesus at the time, was looking for a deeper walk with God. This monk, Abbot Agatho, fled to the desert. The story goes that Abbot Agatho, aware of his temptation to sin with his words, carried a rock in his mouth for three years! He did so until he learned to be silent — or to control his lips.   I'm not ready to carry a rock in my mouth as a reminder to watch my words, but I am very aware of my own temptation to use my words unwisely. Because we serve a God who speaks and uses His words to bring life, we are reminded that our words really do matter. They matter in our marriage, our family, the workplace, our relationships, and our church. Our words really are an overflow of what is going on in our hearts (Luke 6:45), and they have the power to shape the hearts of those whom God has surrounded us with.   In Proverb 10:21, the writer said,   The lips of the righteous nourish many.   With our words, we bring life, health, and good things to those we encounter. We make others better by what rolls off our tongue. With our lips, we are to avoid gossip, slander, malice, and idle talk, which steal life instead of nourishing it.   We can nourish those around us with words of encouragement. Speaking truth in love. Sharing our appreciation. Building others up with the truth and promises of God's Word. We nourish others when we speak with gentleness and compassion. We bring life when we choose not to speak words that could easily be used as weapons.   How are you using your words? Do your words bring nourishment to those around you? Take a moment and prayerfully consider how your words are bringing life or death to those you are closest to. Let's pursue the righteousness described in Proverbs — being one who uses her words to nourish not just some, but many!   Lord, You are a God who speaks. As I reflect who You are to those around me, help me use my words wisely. Give me grace to "nourish many" with my lips. I confess that my words are not always used in a way that honors You. Forgive me and teach me to love and serve those around me with the words You give me. In Jesus' name, amen.   Where do you struggle with your words the most? What is one way you can begin nourishing others with your words today?   ~ Ruth   Excerpted with permission from Settle My Soul by Karen Ehman and Ruth Schwenk, copyright Karen Ehman and Ruth Schwenk.   * * *   Your Turn   Maybe for some of us carrying a rock in our mouths isn't such a bad idea… How are you using your words?
