"Blessed to Be a Blessing: The Global Vision of Psalm 67" Psalm 67 Video:   Psalm 67 is a short, seven-verse hymn that serves as a prayer for God's blessing, not only upon Israel but upon all nations. It begins with a plea for God's grace and favor, echoing the priestly blessing from Numbers 6:24–26 ("May God be gracious to us and bless us..."). The psalmist then expresses a desire that God's ways and salvation be known throughout the world, leading to global praise. The central verse (v. 4) highlights joy and justice as reasons for nations to worship God. The psalm ends by affirming that God's blessing will result in worldwide reverence. Structure: The psalm follows a chiastic structure (A-B-C-B'-A'): A (v.1): Prayer for blessing. B (v.2-3): Desire for global knowledge and praise of God. C (v.4): Central theme of God’s just rule over the nations. B' (v.5): Repetition of desire for global praise. A' (v.6-7): Ble...

  “Still Fields to Harvest: Hope and Mission in the Last Days” Scripture Reading: Revelation 14:6-12 “Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people.” — Revelation 14:6 (NKJV) A Global Message, Yet Unfinished Work Brothers and sisters, we live in a time unlike any other. The gospel is being proclaimed around the world. The Three Angels’ Messages have echoed across continents. Through satellites, literature, digital platforms, missionaries, and personal witness, the message is reaching hearts in places we never thought possible. And yet... there are still unreached people. Entire communities. Isolated tribes. Even cities in “reached” nations where hearts remain untouched, unaware, or unconvinced. We may ask, How is it possible? Hasn’t the work been done? Didn’t Jesus say in Matthew 24:14, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the wor...

  Matthew 13:24–30 contains the Parable of the Weeds (Tares) , in which Jesus tells of a farmer who sows good seed in his field, but an enemy comes at night and sows weeds among the wheat. When the plants grow, both wheat and weeds appear. The farmer's servants ask if they should pull out the weeds, but the farmer advises against it, lest they uproot the wheat as well. Instead, he instructs them to wait until the harvest, at which point the weeds will be gathered and burned, while the wheat will be collected into his barn.   Matthew 13:24–30 teaches that evil exists in the world because of the enemy (Satan), but God allows both good and evil to coexist until the final judgment. This explains why we see injustice and wickedness around us—God is patient, giving people time to repent. However, evil will not last forever; at the end of time, God will separate the righteous from the wicked, bringing justice and establishing His kingdom. This reminds us to trust in God's timing...
