Once again we thank God that we can assemble in one accord to celebrate Jesus our conquering King. Praise the Lord!

Over 15,000 supporters rallied at protests held in eight cities across the globe on Saturday to continue putting pressure on the Norwegian government to release five Romanian Pentecostal children who were removed from their parents based on abuse allegations. According to The Christian Post, five children of Ruth and Marius Bodnariu were removed from their parents’ custody last Nov. 16 after the principal from the school which two of their daughters attended notified authorities of her concern that the children were being spanked by their parents at home as a form of discipline.

As a result of this, the five children who range from age nine to four months, were placed into three separate foster homes by the Norway’s Child Protection Services. As for the parents, they now have limited visitation rights. They are scheduled to have their next court hearing in March to determine whether they can be reconciled with their children. International supporters of the Bodnariu family held various protests, marches and rallies in Romania, Spain, Poland and Australia on Saturday to continue raising awareness of the family’s plight.

This is a very serious matter in the sight of God. The devil does not want our children to be trained as God’s Word dictates. This Christian family is penalized for applying the scriptural truth which states, “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction will drive it far from him.” (Pr.22:15). Let us pray earnestly for the Bodnariu family, that God would intervene, confound the authorities and have them return these children to their Godly parents.

A Hope-Filled Heart

You and I live in a trashy world. Unwanted garbage comes our way on a regular basis. Haven’t you been handed a trash sack of mishaps and heartaches? Sure you have. May I ask, what are you going to do with it? You could hide it. Pretend it isn’t there. But sooner or later it will start to stink. So what will you do?

If you follow the example of Christ, you’ll learn to see tough times differently. God wants you to have a hope-filled heart… just like Jesus. Wouldn’t you want that? Jesus saw his Father’s presence in the problem. Sure, Max, but Jesus was God. I can’t see the way he saw. Not yet, maybe. But don’t underestimate God’s power. He can change the way you look at life. -The Lucado Inspirational Reader by Max Lucado
