Fires bring to mind our eternal treasure in Christ Jesus!

We’ve received many calls from concerned family and friends about the wild fires going on right now in California. First, we want to assure you that we are okay. Other than smoke and ash creating poor air quality, we cannot not complain, but instead give praise to God for sparing us from this tragic situation.

Many are without homes here in Southern California (including some of our own friends) – either because they have been evacuated due to the danger of the rapidly spreading flames, or due to actually losing their homes to the fires.

We implore you to pray for these families that the Lord will use this situation to draw us all nearer to Him!

One thing we know for certain is this: All of the earthly possessions we have will be consumed someday, God’s Word is clear that we cannot carry any of it with us into eternity. But when we come to the Father through the Son and live our lives for Him, He tells us how we can store up Heavenly treasures that will be ours for all eternity (Matthew 6: 19-20).

At this time of great loss, may we focus on serving each other through prayer and practical acts of loving kindness, and may we also be inspired to keep a light touch on our earthly possessions, and instead strive to do the Will of the Father that leads to eternal life!
