Pray for Bible Clubs meeting in the intense heat of summer

Dear Reader, it's so hot in India right now that the streets are literally melting.
And as you've probably heard on the news, the record-setting heat wave has already claimed over 1,800 lives.
Since it's the heart of summer in India, our Children's Bible Clubs are in full swing!
Our Club leaders don't have the luxury of air-conditioned church buildings to host these daily sessions of singing, skits, games, Bible lessons, and prayer. Instead you'll find these faithful volunteers leading eager groups of children under trees, in dusty slum courtyards, and in the shade of colorful fabric tents.
So together, let's stand with them and pray for a break in this dangerous weather. May the cooling relief of June's monsoon rains hasten the end of this heat wave — so our partners can press forward with sharing the powerful, life-changing Good News with India's children (and families)!
Together, for India,
Todd VanEk, President

But on the other we have crucified (decisively repudiated) our sinful nature with all its desires, so that every day we renew this attitude by taking up our cross and following Christ to crucifixion. The first is a legal death, a death to the penalty of sin; the second is a moral death, a death to the power of sin. The first belongs to the past, and is unique and unrepeatable; the second belongs to the present, and is repeatable, even continuous. I died to sin (in Christ) once; I die to self (like Christ) daily. It is with the first of these two deaths that Romans 6 is chiefly concerned, although the first is with a view to the second, and the second cannot take place w...
