Weekend time with the Lord ...

Pastor Jack (Calvary Chapel Chino Hills) is especially strong with Bible prophecy. Take a listen to his very recent conversation with Don Stewart regarding recent events in our world.

Weekend beauty ...

Wouldn't you love to sit with a tea or coffee and spend some meaningful time with the Lord here?

Weekend food for thought ...

THE 2010S WERE SUPPOSED TO BRING THE EBOOK REVOLUTION. IT NEVER QUITE CAME.
There are various reasons that ebooks didn’t advance much through the 2010s, but a lot of it came down to legal issues.
CHURCH KIDS AND CHURCH SHOOTINGS
“What if instead of trying to convince our kids that bad things aren’t out there, we spent their growing up years showing them through God’s word and through our own lives that no matter what happens, God will see us through it, whether by taking care of us on this earth or taking care of us in Heaven? When we believe in Jesus, we are never outside the keeping of our doting Heavenly Father.”
FACING REALITY
Scott Watkins deals with the importance of facing reality. “I need help to see reality.  I need God and others around me to point out where I’ve engaged in self-deception or reality distortion. If left to myself, I am prone to imagine things differently than they really are.”
CHRISTIAN ATHEISM
I enjoyed this conversation on Unbelievable with Douglas Murray and Esther O’Reilly on the subject of “Christian atheism.”

Weekend kitchen adventures ...

We love Indian food. This is a flavorful dish and especially good for anyone new to the cuisine.

Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 yellow onions, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • 4 medium-sized chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp garam masala
  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 (796mL) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Naan, for serving
  • Cilantro, for serving

Rice
  • 1 cup dry basmati rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 pinch salt (optional)
​
Instructions
  • Add all ingredients for chicken in the order listed to Instant Pot. Place lid on Instant Pot and make sure valve is set to seal.
  • Press the pressure cook button and set to high, then cook for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, cook rice in a rice cooker. Instant Pot will take about 10-15 minutes to come to pressure then pressure cook the 3 minutes.
  • Do a quick release of the pressure on the Instant Pot by flicking the switch at the top with a spoon. Open the lid when pressure gauge has dropped and the lid opens easily.
  • Stir in cream, then serve butter chicken overtop of basmati rice and garnish with cilantro. Serve with naan if desired. Enjoy!

Weekend worship ...

We have been absolutely loving this AS ISAAC around our house lately. They are from Calvary Chapel Chattanooga and began worshipping together in their youth worship band. Take might enjoy taking a listen.

Weekend Scripture Meditation ...

Weekend Reading ...

We live in an age where 'friendships' are prolific and contact is constant. But are all of these people really our friends? The bond of Christian friendship is different. Built on our unity with Christ, these are real life, flesh and blood relationships - both sacred and sacrificial. Christina Fox offers insight into how we can weave friendships that last through any season and reflect Christ to the world.
Biblical Christianity is more than just another private religious view. It’s more than just a personal relationship with God or a source of moral teaching.
Christianity is a picture of reality.
It explains why the world is the way it is. When the pieces of this puzzle are properly assembled, we see the big picture clearly. Christianity is a true story of how the world began, why the world is the way it is, what role humans play in the drama, and how all the plotlines of the story are resolved in the end.
In The Story of Reality, bestselling author and host of Stand to Reason, Gregory Koukl, explains the five words that form the narrative backbone of the Christian story. He identifies the most important things that happen in the story in the order they take place:
  1. God
  2. Man
  3. Jesus
  4. Cross
  5. Resurrection
If you are already a Christian, do you know and understand the biblical story? And for those still seeking answers to the questions of life, this is an invitation to hear a story that explains the world in a way nothing else will. This story can change your life forever.
Discover Peace, Perspective, and Healing.

From a human perspective, God often appears to be an intruder. He presumes, invades, and infringes upon our lives. At times, God encroaches with gentle, subtle reminders - at others, with sudden, devestating judgement.

God is not tucked away in some far corner of the universe, uncaring, unfeeling, unthinking...uninvolved. You can count on it - He is intimately involved with the tiniest details of your existence. Learn how His constant presence can bring peace, perspective, and healing into the puzzling and chaotic circumstances of your life.
Having shared his journey of faith in the New York Times bestselling Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, Nabeel Qureshi now examines Islam and Christianity in detail, exploring areas of crucial conflict and unpacking the relevant evidence.
​

In this anticipated follow-up book, Nabeel reveals what he discovered in the decade following his conversion, providing a thorough and careful comparison of the evidence for Islam and Christianity--evidence that wrenched his heart and transformed his life.
In Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, Nabeel Qureshi recounted his dramatic journey, describing his departure from Islam and his decision to follow Christ. In the years that followed, he realized that the world’s two largest religions are far more different than they initially appeared.
No God but One: Allah or Jesus? addresses the most important questions at the interface of Islam and Christianity: How do the two religions differ? Are the differences significant? Can we be confident that either Christianity or Islam is true? And most important, is it worth sacrificing everything for the truth?
Nabeel shares stories from his life and ministry, casts new light on current events, and explores pivotal incidents in the histories of both religions, providing a resource that is gripping and thought-provoking, respectful and challenging.
Both Islam and Christianity teach that there is No God but One, but who deserves to be worshiped, Allah or Jesus?
This eBook includes the full text of the book plus bonus content not found in the softcover! Bonuses include a Q&A with Nabeel Qureshi and downloadable videos that answer important questions about Islam and Christianity. Please note that some e-reader devices do not accommodate video play. You can still access the bonus videos by copying the web address provided into an internet browser on a device or computer that accommodates video content.

    Calvary Women

    They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer ... praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.
