Freeman Email Update 11-7-12

Hello Everyone,

I just finished up our latest prayer letter and wanted to send that to you all. I also thought it was an appropriate time to give you an update on what's been going on. With everything that's happened, I think we need a reminder of why we are here and what God wants from us.

With all the news media and social media, it's easy to take our eyes off of Jesus Christ and off of the prize. As many hearts are heavy, may we remember that Jesus said "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." Peter took His eyes off of the Lord and focused on all the circumstances of life around him, and he began to sink into the roaring water (Matthew 14:22-33), but when he focused his eyes back on the Lord, immediately Christ reached down and saved him. Direct your eyes to God and remember why we are here.

We're here to serve Him, we're here to spread the good news of Jesus Christ and it won't do us any good to be downhearted. Rejoice in the Lord alway, and again, I say, Rejoice. Jesus Christ is the solid rock and on Him alone I stand! Are you standing on the Rock? May we allow this event to not drag us down, but lift us up and fuel a fire in our hearts to do all that we can for God. Ephesians tells us that the days are evil and that we must redeem the time. Let's use every opportunity we have to serve the Lord with all of our hearts and stand in that evil day, having done all to stand. Standing with the full armor of God and His Word as our sword. Fight. Press toward the mark, toward the prize of the high calling of God. If you do that, you'll never go wrong.

Attached you'll find our latest prayer letter. I won't say much else than that. We've been rather vocal on our blog this month. If you would like to read any additional updates, please go to www.shalltheyhear.com

In Christ Alone,
Traver Freeman
