North Korea’s Rogue Missile Launch | Heritage

The Fizzle Missile… but not from lack of trying –

“North Korea’s actions are taking place as the Obama Administration is failing to adequately resource its much-vaunted Asia pivot. Drawdowns in U.S. forces in Europe and Afghanistan are not shifting to address growing Asian threats–a case of robbing Peter to not pay Paul. The planned cuts to the U.S. military undercut Washington’s ability to fulfill its security commitments, even as North Korea and China are acting more assertively”.

In defiance of international pressure, North Korea last night launched a long range missile, underscoring the belligerent regime’s continuing threat to U.S. interests and regional stability in Asia.

The launch comes as the rogue nation is continuing its transition to new leadership under dictator Kim Jong-un, who replaced his father Kim Jong-il after his death in December. In addition to the missile test, it has been reported that North Korea may also be in the “final stages” of preparations for another nuclear test, leading to escalating tensions that could spur Jong-un to undertake more provocative military actions.

1 Corinthians 15:35, 42-44 NLT

But someone may ask, “How will the dead be raised? What kind of bodies will they have…?”

It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever. Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength. They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies.

Who am I? I am one… who is loved by God.

Peanut Gallery: Who am I? It’s a basic life question which can only be answered in context of our relationship with the God… who made us… and knows us by name.

Who I Am In Christ 

Why do I need to know who I am in Christ?

  • You need to know who you are in Christ so that you can live a successful Christian life.
  • The more you agree with God about your identity in Christ, the more your behaviour will reflect your God given identity.
  • Learn to see yourself as God sees you. Accept what God says about you and become the spiritual person you are. God’s opinion is the one that counts.
  • Understanding who you are in Christ will give you a strong foundation to build your life on. Knowing who you are in Jesus is the key to a successful Christian life.
  • Your identity doesn’t depend on something you do or have done. Your true identity is who you are in Christ.
  • When you are in Christ you are a new creation, the old has passed away. It’s time to stop living out of who people say you are and take hold of the truth of God’s word.
  • You need to know who you are in Christ so that you can know what to do, when to do it, where to go, and how to do it.

Who I am in Christ

Because you are in Christ, every one of these statements is true of you. Continue reading “Who am I? I am one… who is loved by God.” →

Peanut Gallery: Who am I? It’s an essential question for all of us.

“You’re like a chameleon”, said my friend, accusation clear in her voice. “You change according to the situation; according to who you are around!” and then six horrible words that crushed what little identity I had “You don’t know who you are!” I was dumbfounded and then tearful. Was she right I wondered? 

I imagined myself to be easy-going and compatible but I had just been likened to a chameleon, changing in seconds depending on who was in my immediate vicinity overshadowing my real colors.

The flexibility that I had learned at a young age and that I thought I wore so well was now being compared to a reptile. A cold-blooded reptile that changed according to the world around it, but was never fully a part of that world.

I had also been accused of being an impostor; fabricating who I was to become what others wanted…
