The Embers

I would submit that it is time for our churches to get back to work! It is time to stop hiding. It is time to stop being afraid. It is time to act in faith. It is time to be obedient to the great commission!

Let’s get back to being what Jesus intended us to be. Let’s get our buses running again. Let’s get back to soulwinning. Let’s get back to revival meetings. Let’s plan some big days!

One year ago, today, the life and story of the Brandenburg family were turned upside-down. It has been a year of great physical challenges for Rhonda, ministry challenges and disappointments, and tremendous financial difficulties, and of course…COVID-19. We are amazed at how the Lord has protected and provided for us.

like MREs, (Meals Ready to Eat), that our military use while out in the field away from camp. MREs are not good for long-term nutritional health. They are “survival food.” These cannot be compared with a lovingly prepared, home-cooked meal. Who would choose an MRE when you could have a slow-cooked beef roast with potatoes, carrots, and home-made gravy, served with freshly baked rolls covered in real butter? For dessert, a fresh from the oven apple pie with vanilla ice cream. All served by your loving family while all are seated around the dinner table. No distractions, no phone calls, no TV, just fellowship with the family. It is time to return to the dinner table where we not only are fed but enjoy the fellowship and function as a family. Online preaching, Livestream services, social media devotionals are exactly the same as MREs in a spiritual sense. They have provided basic nutrition but are no substitute for fresh bread from Heaven. None of these temporary measures can replace God’s plan for this age, the gathering of Believers in the Local Church.

When Did Jesus Die? This is a study to show that Jesus DID spend three days and three nights in the grave and arose before dawn on the first day of the week.

Time for Rhonda to come home!

Update in a crazy week with Rhonda Brandenburg

Update on Rhonda following surgery number three for the week.

This is an update on Rhonda after emergency surgery to relieve the tremendous pressure in her abdomen and removed the blood from where she had been bleeding internally. In short, she did well in the surgery, but the surgeon said today, “she is still deep in the woods, but headed in the right direction.”

God is always good. He is only good.

A Big Set-back for Rhonda,

Sunday was a difficult day for Rhonda. We thought things were going well and that she would be transferred to a rehab hospital before she came home, She is now back in ICU. This update tells the story…
