The course of the war changed.
There would be tough days ahead but Europe’s destiny had changed.
When you become a Christian it’s your D-Day. There will be tough days but your destiny has changed: you are destined to be with God forever.
Today 6 June is cell number 146: and 67 years to the day since the Normandy Landings. We remember with gratitude what people gave to secure freedom; and are grateful to God for answering the prayers of many on that fateful day.
Jesus washed his disciples’ feet
Happy to do the yucky jobs because he loved them
He loves us too
Time to “wash each others feet”
well … to do good things for each other.
(Today was cell meeting number 144)
In cell on 9 May we heard the story of the late David Wilkerson
Yes he sold his TV! – and prayed
He thought God wanted him to go to New York and help the rough kids: the gang members. He came back a failure: he hadn’t spoken to the gang members; the police had jumped on him and the picture of that was on the front of the newspapers!
But he felt God tell him to go back, and when he did gang members listened to him: “because the police hate you”. Many became Christians and their lives were changed.
If you put God first in your life, you will be amazed how God will use you.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! (Philippians 4:13)Where in the Bible did Caleb say “WE CAN”? (a chocolate bar at the next boys cell for everyone who posts a comment on this post with the correct answer!)

(watching “Facing the Giants” was cell number 139)
NASA are investigating …
unusual, unique life forms seen at boys’ cell …
Anyone with information on these beings should get in touch.
3 things that help when reading your Bible:
P = Pray about what you read
M = Memorise some verses
N = Notes (not everyone does this but when you find a good bit, it can help to make some notes)
So what is the Bible? What is it like?
Skin? mucous? a book? … I can’t remember all the suggestions made in this evening’s cell. Paul in the New Testament said the Bible was a sword (Ephesians 6:17): nowadays we would say a submachine gun. …………. the Bible is powerful (& we should use it. Jesus did when he resisted temptation).
Jesus said the Bible was like bread (Matthew 4:4) …
Don’t eat & you’ll waste away; eat & you’ll get strong.
The Bible will do you good (I try to eat a bit every day!)
.
By the way … hope you enjoy your copy of YPs. If you left yours behind let me know and I’ll drop it round to you.
