Intentional Inspirations Newsletter - 10/24/20

Hello,

It seems like each week that goes by holds new and different challenges that we have to deal with. We are headed into a major election here in the USA that could literally decide whether our nation will keep our constitutional republic or head down the path of socialism and Marxism. 

I can't imagine facing these uncertain days without Jesus as my Savior. I serve the one and only true God of the Bible, who has all this in His hands. He has ME in His hands! We have nothing to fear. I love this song called Voice of Truth​. It reminds me that no matter what is going on around me, no matter how many voices are calling out for me, the only voice I should listen to is the Voice of Truth.

In our world today, there is so much being thrown at us. Christians are being challenged to take a hard look at their walk with the Lord. It grieves me how much the church is catering to the culture, blurring the line between right and wrong. The above quote was shared with me by a friend this week. Even though it was written in the 1800's, it is very applicable to today. When the Bible is removed as the basis for our morality, we are left with a version of morality that is influenced by culture. As culture goes, so goes the church.

My challenge to you today is to spend time with the Lord. Ask Him to show you what He wants you to learn through these days. What is He calling you to do? Are you following the culture or are you following God? There is a huge spiritual battle going on right now. It is time for Christians to stop being silent and rise up, put on our armor, and get in the battle. Will you join me?

This past week we took a break from school. We all needed some time off and it allowed me to get some various projects done that have been needing to be done. I am ready to get back to our schedule this week though. Never have I felt such urgency to equip my kids for the days ahead. To be honest, our two biggest focuses right now are on the Bible and on learning about the founding of our country. I was listening to something this week where they were talking about the two biggest enemies of the Marxists -- Christianity and freedom. What two areas of our lives have been threatened the most these past 8 or so months? Hmm...churches and our personal freedoms. I didn't even realize it at the time, but those two areas are what the Lord has been directing me to focus on with the kids. After our week off, I am ready to get back at it! 

I could go on and share more, but I need to wrap this up and get to the links for this week. Be encouraged friend! God is in control, and we all know that He wins in the end. While we don't know what the days ahead hold, we know that if He is our Lord and Savior, we have nothing to fear. Put your full trust in Jesus today. If you don't know what that means, please reply to this email. I'd love to chat!

If you haven't joined me over on Substack, you should! It has been a lot of fun for me to have a more informal place to write. Besides the Revelation study going on over there, I usually do one other post during the week on whatever topic the Lord lays on my heart to write about. PLUS, all the Intentional Inspirations newsletters that I send out every Saturday are archived over there for you to read at your leisure! Enjoy!

Here are a few links for you to check out this week:

• Real Christianity by William Wilberforce​ - A friend of mine shared with me the above quote from William Wilberforce's book, Real Christianity. I kind of know Wilberforce's story, but felt it was time I read this book. Have you read it? It sounds very applicable to today!

• Patriot Academy​ - This site is where you can find some amazing resources to teach your children about the true history of our nation (the United States). I just purchased their American Legends DVD set and their books on the constitution, declaration of independence and federalist papers for kids. Can't wait to add these to our studies this year!

• When things get hard, will you also go away?​ - I ran across this post and podcast on my site recently and I thought it would be a good one to recommend again. You can't argue that we are living in some pretty hard times. What will you do as a result? Will you also go away? I hope not!

• Homemade Burritos​ - If you are looking for a meatless meal, this is it! I love these burritos. They are so easy to make and paired with a salad, make a great meal. It is also a very frugal recipe to make for a large family!

• Health Freedom & Vaccine Info With Sheri - If you are interested in learning more about health freedom and vaccines, I created another group over on The Jump. I really created it for myself to have a place to share what I am learning, resources, files, videos, etc., on health freedom and then share them with others. If you are interested, hop on over and join!

• Parenting Pivot Challenge - Sign up for this 2 week challenge for parents, with 14+ expert speakers on various topics like mental health, prayer, discipleship, school, etc. A video will be posted every day that you can watch for 24 hours for free.

Praying for each of you, that you are finding your rest, your hope, your strength, in Jesus alone!

Take care. Don't fear. Trust God!

Blessings,
Sheri

P.S. Books I am reading: The Tuttle Twins and the Hyperinflation Devastation(aloud to the kids), Real Christianity​, Marxianity, Socialism: The Real History from Plato to the Present, and Vaccination Is Not Immunization: The War On Children.

ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT MEDICAL FREEDOM?
Our freedoms are being threatened all across this country and across the whole world. Vaccine mandate laws are being pushed through that take away the rights of parents to choose the health care of their children. If you want to research this issue, I encourage you to check out this resource page. I also want to offer you this Vaccine Hesitancy Review document (PDF file) that does a good job of summarizing the issues: Vaccine Hesitancy Review.pdf
