The truth of God is what makes having faith in God worth it.  Priscilla Shirer

Life is full of adventures, opportunities for building our faith as well as for God to move on our behalf.  Some of my biggest adventures have begun in the simplest of ways.   For example, this week I had to make a trip into town.  The only road that leads into town from where we live is under construction and is often backed up for miles.  This particular day I was  running low on gasoline and had to get into town for a meeting.  Now, I can’t even count the times that God has stretched the gasoline in my tank miles and miles past empty.   Stuck in traffic with no where to go and nothing to do, I began to pray for my family and friends.  The fuel light flickered on and off.  It was at that very moment I knew God would do something special, and I was not disappointed.  When the fuel light came on I had faith God was going to take care of me.  This is where the rubber meets to road so to speak.  Eventually, my car coasted into the gas station a good 30 minutes after the fuel light came on.  For me, it was nothing less than a miracle that I wasn’t stranded on the road holding a gas can.

Faith comes from hearing God’s Word and acting upon it.  Take a moment and think about some of the things you have had to have faith for in the last few months.  Do you feel that these experiences have caused you to grow in your understanding of God’s love and care for you?

Assignment For the Week

  • Write a Prayer Strategy Card for the New Year.  Take your time as you form this special card.  Consider creating a new devotional journal for 2016 and placing this card in the front of your new journal.
  • Make sure you attend a small group  this week.
  • Read Week Six:  The Helmet of Salvation in your member book.
  • If you are watching the videos, watch Session Six available through Lifeway (not required for participation in the study)

Discussion Questions- Answer in your small group or post a comment below

  1. Have you been able to keep up with writing out your Prayer Strategies?   And if so, what have you learned through that process?
  2. What are some areas of your life where you need to be on the offensive instead of the defensive, taking back ground from the enemy?
  3. How is the truth of your faith reflected in your actions and attitudes?
  4. What has been the greatest challenges to your faith?  When have you seemed to be your strongest in your faith?
  5. Think back to the difficult person or circumstances you wrote down in the oval during week one of our study. What, if any, connection do you see between the step of faith God is asking you to take and that situation?

Faith is when you act like God is telling you the truth.  Priscilla Shirer

With Love,

Mutations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia suggest potential new uses of existing cancer drugs

New pathway underlying multiple myeloma relapse

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 06:35 PM PST

One of the biggest questions about the treatment of multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer, is why nearly all patients treated with current therapies eventually suffer relapse. A new study may have solved this mystery by identifying how cancer cells escape treatment, leading to recurrence.

Frugal antibiotic prescribing associated with lower GP satisfaction scores

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 06:30 PM PST

Reduced antibiotic prescribing is associated with lower patient satisfaction. The study found a 25 per cent lower rate of antibiotic prescribing by a GP practice corresponded to a 5-6 point reduction on GP satisfaction rankings.

Ibrutinib superior to traditional chemotherapy in untreated chronic leukemia patients

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 01:53 PM PST

A multi-center, international, randomized, Phase III study of older untreated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) demonstrated that ibrutinib, a kinase inhibitor, is significantly more effective than traditional chemotherapy with chlorambucil.

Was early animal evolution co-operative?

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 01:52 PM PST

The fossil group called the Ediacaran biota have been troubling researchers for a long time. How do these peculiar organisms relate to modern organisms? In a new study researchers from suggest the Ediacarans reveal previously unexplored pathways taken by animal evolution. They also propose a new way of looking at the effect the Ediacarans might have had on the evolution of other animals.

Age doesn't affect survival outcomes in patients with MDS who receive a HCT

A prospective study shows age doesn't affect survival outcomes in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who receive a hematopoietic cell transplant.

'No-drill' dentistry stops tooth decay

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 01:48 PM PST

A new study has revealed that tooth decay (dental caries) can be stopped, reversed, and prevented without the need for the traditional 'fill and drill' approach that has dominated dental care for decades. The seven year study found that the need for fillings was reduced by 30 to 50 per cent through preventative oral care.

Early gene therapy results in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome promising

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 01:48 PM PST

Researchers reported promising preliminary outcomes for the first four children enrolled in a US gene therapy trial for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS), a life-threatening genetic blood and immune disorder. All four have improved between nine and 24 months following treatment. Since undergoing treatment, none have experienced bleeding events or severe WAS-related infections. All four have experienced improvements in immunologic symptoms and variable improvements in platelet count.

Children with childhood leukemia benefit from prophylactic antibiotics

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 01:47 PM PST

Prophylactic antibiotics significantly reduce the risk of serious bacterial infections in children during the critical first month of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common childhood cancer, according to a US and Canadian study. While the overall cure rate for ALL is high, about one to two percent of children with this diagnosis die during the first month of therapy from treatment complications, primarily infection-related.

Mysteries of SCN8A mutation in epilepsy unraveled

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 01:47 PM PST

Three studies explore the effects of mutations in the SCN8A gene, thought to underlie early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE) and other neurological conditions. The SCN8A gene mediates electrical signaling in the brain by controlling the flow of sodium currents. Findings from these studies could inform the development of precision medicine therapeutics and lead to more effective strategies for diagnosing and treating patients with epilepsy.

Personalized medicine studies reveal gene targets for epilepsy

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 01:47 PM PST

Maximum observed earthquake magnitudes along continental transform faults

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 03:28 AM PST

Continental transform faults evolve when two plates slide along each other. The most prominent examples are the San Andreas Fault in California and the North Anatolian Fault in Turkey. Earthquakes along those faults typically do not exceed earthquake magnitudes around M8 but occur at shallow depth thus posing a major threat to nearby metropolitan regions such as San Francisco or Istanbul.

Studies reveal the surprising complexity of cognitive issues in children with epilepsy

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 03:28 AM PST

Children with epilepsy face a number of challenges compared with their healthy peers, including an increased risk of cognitive impairment.

Four studies explore memory decline in people with epilepsy

Posted: 06 Dec 2015 03:28 AM PST

Four studies presented at the American Epilepsy Society's (AES) 69th Annual Meeting uncover the biological factors that mediate memory decline in people with epilepsy, particularly those with seizures that affect the temporal lobe. Loss of neurons from the hippocampus, a brain region that processes and stores memories, is a common cause of temporal lobe epilepsy. People with temporal epilepsy caused by hippocampal sclerosis (TLE-HS) have impaired memory and find it particularly challenging to recall details of specific events in everyday life.
