Two Important...
Events soon to come up
They're also too important not to announce way in advance. First is the Thanksgiving Eve "Awakening"/worship-praise service, on Wednesday, November 21 at 7:00 p.m. This will be a free flowing service where there will be praise and worship as well as testimony time for the things we are thankful for.
Second is the monthly fund-raising Fellowship Dinner on Tuesday, November 27 at the Capital Seafood Restaurant, at 6:30 p.m. Please do not miss this occasion for fellowship as well as to have our senior and founding pastors John and Jessie with us after a long absence while doing missionary work in the Philippines. Please call Johnny Chua for your reservations (909-228-2162) . |

Hurricane Victims Need Help
Donations will be received for the victims of Hurricane Sandy who are still struggling from the devastation of last week in the Northeast.
Please mark your envelopes specifically for this purpose so that proper credit may be given. Gospel Life is co-laboring with the Chinese-American Association of Walnut on this project, thanks to Johnny Chua. |

The Butterfly Principle
"The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out boldly." Exodus 14:8
-
Overprotective parents do their children a great injustice. The caterpillar that lies inside the cocoon will never become the beautiful butterfly if someone cuts open the cocoon prematurely. It is the struggle itself that allows the butterfly to emerge as a strong, new creature of nature.
-
God understands how necessary this process is. That is why we are allowed to experience difficult, often life-changing events. He even orchestrates them-all for our benefit. What the Israelites thought was a cruel joke when Pharaoh sent troops to pursue them after they had been freed and penned against the shore of the Red Sea became the stage for the most publicized miracle of all time-the parting of the Red Sea. Generation after generation has heard this incredible story of deliverance.
God puts us against the "Red Seas" in order to show His power in and through us. If we do not know God can deliver, then we can never learn to trust Him. Circumstances that go beyond our capabilities of solving them place us at God's complete mercy. This is how He likes it.
Do not fear the calamity that comes your way. If you are faithful to Him in the test, you will see God's power manifested like never before. Just as the Israelites were able to sing a song of deliverance, you too will have your own testimony of the Lord's faithfulness; and you will be able to recall it for others to build your faith and theirs.
