Jon Randles

He is a man who radiates Jesus from every ounce of him. While in college, at Texas Tech I had the amazing privilege of listening to this man preach God's word to thousands of college students on Sunday's and Thursday nights.

His passion to share God's Word with students was one of the many reasons, I desire to share God's Word.

He is bold, black and white, and a living example of how we are to live our lives on fire for Christ.

Awhile back, Jon Randles was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and as we all know this type of cancer can be vicious. But to Jon and his family they joyful look at it differently. Their eyes are steadfast on the Lord and every ounce of their strength is found in Him.

Would you join with me as we pray for Jon and his family?

Cancer seems to be making it's way into more and more people today. Let's be mindful of all who are fighting this awful disease, along with their loved ones. Not only do those fighting the battle need prayer, encouragement and love, but they need God's super natural strength and rest as well, as does their family.  Let's also remember those families who have lost loved ones to cancer, especially as we approach the upcoming holidays. But don't stop once the holidays are over, continue to pray for them  everyday all year around.

The Not So Pleasant Sound

As followers of Christ, we must never waiver in our convictions or obedience to God in order to appease man. Nor should we allow ourselves to fall prey to the deceit and fake intentions of man. 

"People with hate in their hearts may sound pleasant enough, but don't believe them." Proverbs 26:24

We must also be very careful to not fall prey to false teachings, because they sound right or good. Only God's Word is right and good and true. If we fail to study it, we are failing to be equipped with the armor of God, which protects us from false teaching. 

If we lack knowledge and discernment we open ourselves up to be mislead, deceived and vulnerable to those who pretend to be kind, yet whose hearts are full of all kinds of discord, hate and evil.

When The Lord gives us discernment, He opens our eyes to see the true intentions, the true motives, and the false confessions, apologies, teachings and pride of others and even within ourselves. 

"A prudent person forsees the danger ahead and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences." Proverbs 27:12
