Our God of Mystery, Power, and Promise
"Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?" Job 26:14
These words conclude Job's poetic description of God's ways - their mystery and power. This God full of power is also the God full of promise. As we witness God's mystery and power we can be thankful that the same God said - "I am with you always to the end of the age." Matthew 28:20 and "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
And the greatest demonstration of the mystery, power, and promise took place on the first Good Friday and Easter morning.
~ Dr. Brandt

FROM PROTECT YOUNG EYES
Do you know much about Snapchat's filters? On of Snap's most popular features, filters allow you to add crazy animations, sounds, images, and more to your face. There's an entire catalog of lenses built by other users that anyone can access. Bunny ears, facial hair, dog face, shark face, turn you into a hot dog, show you with marijuana, stretch your neck, show you pregnant, just to name a few. If your child has Snapchat, then be curious and have some fun with these. Ask them to show you! Here's an article that explains a few of the positive and negatives.
