Crazy Love!

Have you ever wondered if we're missing it? Why is it that the story of someone who has actually done what Jesus commands resonates deeply with us, but we then assume we could never do anything so radical or intense? Or why do we call it radical when, to Jesus, it is simply the way it is - the way it should be?

It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss.

Whether you've verbalized it yet or not, we all know something's wrong.

Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts-it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same.

Because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

Jesus Is Calling!

How long has it been since you enjoyed the peace of God which only comes from being in His Presence?

Jesus Calling is a one-of-a-kind daily devotional with uniquely inspired treasures from heaven for every day of the year from missionary Sarah Young.

After many years of writing in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to listen to God with pen in hand, writing down whatever she believed He was saying to her. It was awkward at first, but gradually her journaling changed from monologue to dialogue. She knew her writings were not inspired as Scripture is, but journaling helped her grow closer to God.

Others were blessed as she shared her writings, until people all over the world were using her messages. They are written from Jesus' point of view, thus the title Jesus Calling. It is Sarah's fervent prayer that our Savior may bless readers with His presence and His peace in ever deeper measure.

Free Weekly Bible Story Lessons

Some of you may not realize that Swiss Valley Christian Bookstore is operated by a family in full-time prison and Internet ministry. We began the Children's Chapel as part of our crime prevention and Internet ministry.

Our Children's Chapel is currently sending out free, weekly Bible story lessons to 10,000+ subscribers in more than 75 countries. Last Monday, I sent out this week's free Bible story about the Easter Story.

Our vision is to spread God's Word around the globe through these free Bible stories. Many who do not comprehend the Bible, begin their search for God by searching for Bible stories on the Internet. They know that if they can find a Bible story written for children, they will be able to find a way to easily learn about God.

You can also become an Internet missionary by helping us spread the word about these free, weekly Bible story lessons. Become a subscriber yourself so you can share the stories with children, grandchildren, children's workers, and those who come to you, asking basic questions about God. Then tell others about the free Bible stories and point them to the same signup page.

To get started, go to our subscriber page and enter your e-mail address. You will be sent a confirmation e-mail, in an effort to prevent spamming.
