WOW! It will hit 72 degrees here in Albuquerque today! Then a deep cool down…..with wind starting Thursday! We have had such beautiful weather this fall, but we do need the wet stuff!!!

Please keep us in your prayers here at FGGAM!  We are very thankful for your love and prayers! God is our guide! Friends like you help so very much in these days!“The believing man does not claim to understand.
He falls to his knees and whispers, “God.”
The man of earth kneels also, but not to worship.
He kneels to examine, to search, to find the cause and the how of things.”

― A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God

At FGGAM.ORG this morning just for you! From Dr. Jim Denison:
Especially troubling is what The Washington Post calls “the post-election hate spike.” More than any election I can remember, this campaign has left many in our country bitterly divided against those with whom they disagree.

In light of such vitriol, a perceptive reader reminded me of a relevant insight from C. S. Lewis in The Screwtape Letters. This classic book contains advice from a senior tempter to his apprentice. Its backward logic brilliantly unmasks some of Satan’s most subtle strategies. Consider this example:

“Be sure that the patient [the person being tempted] remains completely fixated on politics. Arguments, political gossip, and obsessing on the faults of people they have never met serves as an excellent distraction from advancing in personal virtue, character, and the things the patient can control. Make sure to keep the patient in a constant state of angst, frustration, and general disdain towards the rest of the human race in order to avoid any kind of charity or inner peace from further developing. Ensure the patient continues to believe that the problem is ‘out there’ in the ‘broken system’ rather than recognizing there is a problem with himself.”

This was the devil’s first strategy, tempting Eve to blame the serpent and Adam to blame Eve (Genesis 3:12–13). Such spiritual transference blinds us to our responsibility for the state of the world. Whether we blame the Supermoon above or the political activist next door, we focus on what we cannot change while ignoring what we can.

Please keep our Dear Friend and Mentor, Tom in your prayers!

Got a very nice call from two young people last night. I have Preached at the church they attended when they lived in New Mexico. They plan to marry. They asked me to pray over them on the phone! What a blessing to see and hear that love for Jesus, Amen!

We love you all in Jesus, Dewey and Sharon
