Be strong and courageous. Those are the words that the Lord spoke to Joshua as he was sending

him across the Jordan to take possession of the promised land. Pastor Brian Wolf Miller talking

about his presentation at the 26 issues, etc. making the case conference. Where does that courage

come from? From Joshua's strength? From the number of soldiers? No, from the promise,

I will not leave you or forsake you. The Christian is courageous to face all of the troubles of

this world, not because we're strong, not because we can resist the world and the flesh and the devil

on our own, but because the

Lord is with us. The Lord fights for us. The Lord keeps us through all the troubles of life into the

joy and hope of the life to come. You can meet and hear Pastor Brian Wolf-Miller making the case

for Christian Courage at this year's Making the Case Conference June 12th and 13th

at Concordia University Chicago. Learn more at Issuezc.org.

Do you sometimes wonder whether or not some of these teachers are doing Joe Rogan mushrooms or something like that?
