"Everlasting consolation."-2 Thessalonians 2:16
    
    "Consolation." There is music in the word: like David's harp, it charms away the evil spirit of melancholy. It was a distinguished I honour to Barnabas to be called "the son of consolation"; nay, it is one of the illustrious names of a greater than Barnabas, for the Lord Jesus is "the consolation of Israel." "Everlasting consolation"-here is the cream of all, for the eternity of comfort is the crown and glory of it. What is this "everlasting consolation"? It includes a sense of pardoned sin. A Christian man has received in his heart the witness of the Spirit that his iniquities are put away like a cloud, and his transgressions like a thick cloud. If sin be pardoned, is not that an everlasting consolation? Next, the Lord gives His people an abiding sense of acceptance in Christ. The Christian knows that God looks upon him as standing in union with Jesus. Union to the risen Lord is a consolation of the most abiding order; it is, in fact, everlasting. Let sickness prostrate us, have we not seen hundreds of believers as happy in the weakness of disease as they would have been in the strength of hale and blooming health? Let death's arrows pierce us to the heart, our comfort dies not, for have not our ears full often heard the songs of saints as they have rejoiced because the living love of God was shed abroad in their hearts in dying moments? Yes, a sense of acceptance in the Beloved is an everlasting consolation. Moreover, the Christian has a conviction of his security. God has promised to save those who trust in Christ: the Christian does trust in Christ, and he believes that God will be as good as His word, and will save him. He feels that he is safe by virtue of his being bound up with the person and work of Jesus.

When We Last Spoke movie with giveaway

  

When We Last Spoke is a movie based on a book by Marci Henna.  It is is a heartwarming story of faith, family, and forgiveness.  It recently won award(s) at the Crown Awards at the National Religious Broadcasters 2021 Christian Media Convention for: best picture, best narrative, and best supporting actor just to name a few. Some of the cast include:  Melissa Gilbert (Little House on the Prairie), Cloris Leachman, and Corbin Bernsen.  

I so totally enjoyed this movie.  Juliette and  Evangeline will keep you laughing and bring you to tears.  There are ups and downs in every family and these two sisters are no different.  They quickly find themselves having to adjust to family life with grandparents and their father is deployed to Vietnam and their mother farms them off to grandparents.  Together they learn to overcome uncertainty and heartbreak.    

It is an excellent movie for the whole family to watch.  It has humor, battles won (triumphs) and upsets (heartbreaks). This is a movie that you'll want to watch over and over again. 

You may watch the film on Amazon Prime or visit our website to find all the ways to view this
powerful movie with the whole family.
