The New Testament is unflinchingly honest about both the power of God and the suffering of this world. The book of Acts tells plenty of stories of supernatural power, God's indwelling presence working in ordinary people in miraculous ways. But it's equally chock-full of suffering, confusion, and pain.
Yet it's through those very wounds that we join in the healing of the world. By the power of the Holy Spirit, the powerfully healed can become power healers.

Right now, prisoners are struggling with feelings of loneliness, isolation, and despair. But we can reach them with the hope of Jesus Christ by sending as many Bibles as we can, as quickly as we can. Your gift today to Prison Fellowship will put Bibles and Christian content into the hands of waiting prisoners. The demand right now is unlike anything we have ever seen, and there's nothing short of a revival happening behind prison walls! We have an amazing opportunity to reach men and women with what they need most: God's Word! Thank you for remembering those in prison. |

March 25 — This year, Easter will be celebrated on the same day, April 20, by all Christian denominations, a rare alignment of Eastern and Western calendars. This coincides with the 1,700th anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea, which sought to unify the date of Easter. The shared celebration has inspired leaders from Catholic, Protestant, Coptic, and Eastern Orthodox churches to advocate for a permanent common date. (Religion Unplugged) |
| March 26 — The first complete Chinese translation of the Bible, created by John Lassar and Joshua Marsham between 1815 and 1822, recently sold at auction for over £56,000 ($115,000). Initially donated to an Oxfam store in Essex, England, the rare Bible was expected to fetch £600-£800 but far exceeded expectations during a Bonhams auction. The proceeds will support Oxfam's charitable efforts. (Christian Today, from BBC) |
| March 26 — Three prominent Israeli archaeologists summarized the past decade's biggest discoveries about Jerusalem's development during the Iron Age (1200–586 BC).

Anxiety disorders are rapidly on the rise, even in the safety and comfort of America. Humanity is feeling the intensity of the hour, and the need for a true place of emotional, mental, and spiritual refuge. And while I believe in the important place of therapy and other medical responses to this, there is a spiritual angle too, which must not be forgotten.
Enter the power of Psalm 91. |
