Made it Lynchburg, VA.

So I made it Lynchburg, VA. I left at 0800 on the 27th from Kearney, NE and made it Lynchburg, VA at 1630today the 28th. It was a long drive to do myself. I listen to R.C. Sproul, Ravi, and some Todd Friel from Wretched Radio. It took me longer then I thought but I made some stops to get maps so I could out Thunder Stroms if need be. I need to explore the area more but I think this fall Lynchburg will be a cool place. For now, I am off.

The Time has come.

So the time has come. It is the final countdown. I am mere hours away from leaving the UK to attend university. Like I said in the last post, I try and not think that I am leaving. I am aware that I the day is coming. I have some lose ends to tie up and then I am gone, leaving on a jet plane to go home. I keep think how God has grown me this past few months. How I have learned to make bolder steps in faith by sharing the ultimate gift to the world, the salvation from hell.

The one thing I have not talked much about is what I will be doing. Starting this August, I am going to be a full-time student again but this time at a Christian University. While at university, I hope to find a wife because I heard Christian universities have Christian women, again that is only a rumor. I will also do part work for the USAF Reserves at Andrews AFB, MD with the 459th ARW working on KC-135s (or the same airplane I worked in here in England).

So that is the plan so far.

TTYL maybe next time in the States.

It is July.

This is exciting to write to you on this fine 3rd of July. The fact is that in 10 days, I will no longer be living in the UK. I turned my house back to the landlord and received the deposit check which is now the deposit check for my next apartment. As I have been looking back at my time in England, I can not but think about the wonderful growth I have had in this seeming godless country. (They worship a god but not the true God. I think is name is Darwin but I might be wrong.) I think about how spiritual weak I was in my walk. I am still weak but I am growing. As I have broke out to witness to the Brits, I have learned to but everything I know in action. I also have been developing better communication skill that uses time and words that express what I am thinking. You know think before you speak. If it is true, which I found out is, you have no more that 8 seconds to respond to someone with out being uncomfortable (all y'al know what I am talking aboot ah.(the comment is a US-southern Canadian)). But I start to realize that my season in England, I have to thank all the people that made my time possible.

As I start to get ready to leave, I realize that I need to continue to do what I learned herein England. It is that the world needs a savior and I know one that is willing to same you. Jesus Christ is the savior that this world needs. It does not need a queen or a president that wants to kill black babies. No it needs Jesus and as Christians we need to start praying for the salvation of the US. When US was it greatest is when God was placed above everything. As I leave England, that land of John Wesley, C.H. Spurgeon, George Whitfield, and John Newton (are just some) to the land that was truly made from Christian valves, I see the need to step out and witness to people one by one and preach at events. If we want to change this country we MUST STEP OUT WITH FAITH NOW because the next generation will do the same thing that we are doing now. We must stand up in faith because God's word return void.

Who is ready to join the fight, the fight for souls?

True Forgiveness

What does true forgiveness look like? My view is that when a person has been wrong, I would accept any apology because I can not know the heart of a person. I am writing this blog because of a situation. I decided last night that I need to get involved into the situation that is hurting relationships that was once strong. I do not exactly what happen and I am taking the stand that I actually know very little of what is happening. A reason why I am getting involved is because there are many people involved that might not see what is wrong as of today. I believe that some are trying to heal the wound but not all parties involved are willing.

What I think true forgiveness looks like is when someone has done something wrong, you forgiven and forget. If it is not easily forgettable, I think then a plan has to be made to grow where it is forgotten. I see that as when we sin against the Holy God, as Christians he forgets our transgressions. We must able that same thing. God is great to forgiven without holding a grudge but we humans are not. The word forgive in Greek means to let go, to send away. We must remember all the sins that God will not hold against Christians when they are judge be he cleanse us of all unrighteousness when we ask for his forgiveness (1 John 1:9). As I looked for verses that will help to understand forgiveness, I came across three: 2 Corinthians 2:5-11, Ephesians 4:31-32, and Colossians 3:8-14. Each one of these verses explain how forgiveness should work. The person who forgive should be loving those people the person forgive.

What is missing is the love of the other in this situation. I understand that the friendship for now is lost but by God's sovereign grace these relationships can be repaired and grow.

I want to make note that comments have been disable for this post. The reason behind this blocking of comments is because I feel that the annyoistiy of the post should remain. Now people who know about the situation will understand the post. The people involved can e-mail or call me. I think that this is a problem on both side of the situation.

Fellowship

I am just back from a church in the town of Isleham. It a church that I thought about going for sometime now but God called me to attend today. What a blessing it was. I meet a couple of people and the pastor and his wife. He is a John Piper fan. The sermon was a great sermon in Nehemiah 2 about prayerfully waiting on God, acting and praying to God. Nehemiah prayed to God about the burden of Jerusalem. He waited and served God where he was placed. The preacher, who was an elder, spoke on how we must pray and wait for God to move. In Chapter 2 of Nehemiah, we see that Nehemiah wanted to rebuild the walls and gates of Jerusalem. He talk about how they, the church, needs to pray and they try to rebuild the church in England (and American also). That we need to sit back and look at the problem but go an attack the problem within and outside the church. To rebuild the walls so we can defend ourselfs.

The reason why I felt the need for going was due to the lack of word this morning. I guess I was not engaged in the sermon this morning but this sermon had me engaged until my mind wondered but I got it back in focus. The sermon encouaged me to reach the lost even more to define Christianity and false Christianity. During these hard time we must continueto reach the lost and attack the culture with Bibical truth.

All that and that is not even the reason for the post. The reason of this post is because of the great fellowship I had with the pastor. I can not thank God enough for the blessing. We talk for a long time and everything was Christ centered. It restored my soul to talk to a Christian brother that I just meet. I do not know much about his life but in Christ we have a connection that will never end. My only regret is that I did not change church sooner. I will thank God that he has showed me a church that is Christ-centered and on fire for God. I now know what a real Christian church looks like. Now the church hunt begians. I can truly say that I can not express in a blog how I feel right now. I wish that I could have more fellowship with believers that can never end. It was God who showed my what true fellowship in His son is like and I want to glorify him with.

I leave with only idea. Have you truly been a fellowship that cannot come close to being defined?

In the Middle of a Battle that I do not want to be in.

This post is written as I am sadden by some events. I am in the middle of a battle. This is a very difficult place to be. I am split between two parties that I want to continue to hold dear. Since this is on the internet for everyone to read, I am not mention anything about this battle. I am going to talk about the feel that I have. It is to a point now, that I will have to choose a side. This choice is a tough decision and one I wash I do not have to make.

A new Blog Name

I was thinking of a new blog name. Here are some of my ideas.

The not-in-England-anymore England File
Just another blog that has no meaning.
The Liberty File (formally know as "The England File")
I can not think of a name that suits the randomness of this blog, so this long line will work.
or:
The life of Mike Miller
