The Messenger SLIPPERY SLOPE By Lakan Mariano It is a slippery slope. They went from being amazed at the humbling of their Egyptian masters, to the Red Sea opening up to let them through, to the same sea closing and drowning the mighty army pursuing them, to fashioning a golden calf and worshiping it instead of the God who saved them. It is a slippery slope It is a slippery slope. from unbelief, “They did not believe God's promise. to grumbling, They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the LORD” (Psalm 106:24-25). It is a slippery slope from unbelief, to grumbling, to outright disobedience.
to outright disobedience.
Our faith as believers in Jesus Christ cannot be anchored on the hope that things change before our eyes. Our faith must be anchored on who Christ is and what he has already said in his word, the Bible, whether you see his promise fulfilled today or not. “All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on earth” (Hebrews 11:13). ~Lakan

We are looking for couples/ families who will adopt them. Two students per couple/family. What does adoption entail? Pray for them regularly; Have them over for dinner or take out to dinner at least once a month; Invite them over for birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other family events. Text or call them at least once every two weeks. Share your salvation testimony and the gospel with them. Write your name on your connection card and the words “Adopt Students” and we will pair you up with your college students.
