Violence in Liban

A lot of things have distracted me from posting on this, but I just was reminded of it a few seconds ago. Things down there are escalating and if you can spare a prayer for this country where Christ once visited, then please do so.

Ascension

"He said to them, "Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons, they will speak new languages. They will pick up serpents (with their hands), and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God. But they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.)" (Mark 16:15-20).
