Homes for God Forever

One of over a hundred FCOP church orphan homes

She was a “Hooker” who gave “False witness.” Certainly, according to religious experts, a woman bound for hell. Right? Wrong! She made the “Hall of Fame of Faith” in Hebrews 11:31. So, what is it that the commandment, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor” all about? It is about destroying someone through false testimony.

I don’t know who said this, but it’s a good quote: “A lie’s true power cannot be accurately measured by the number of people who believe its deception when it is told, it must be measured by the number of people who will go out after hearing it trying to convince others of its truth.”

We’ve had plenty of “whoppers” thrown at us, the cruelest cut of all is that we are just trying to amass a great deal of property in order to sell it and be rich. (see photos of homes) Trust me, if that were the case, we’d be gone! We’d like to be with our grand-kids, but there is no provision for “not-for-profits” or churches to own property in Cambodia. One of the big problems in Cambodia is the lack of good land ownership law. If it were easy to build and own churches, the countryside would be covered with them. Everything done with the Cambodian government requires great “flexibility.”

Every Christian ministry I know of which has attempted building in Cambodia has lost property. We lost two churches about ten years ago, but, have survived, and thrived, by doing whatever it takes to continue to establish church meeting locations throughout the country. Now, if our methods offend you? Take a number, pick up a pail of rocks, and get in line. You’ll find a lot of company.

Solutions to problems like this take prayer, time, money, and legislation. Sou and I are committed to spending the rest of our lives here, if it takes that long, to assure that every church building remains in the Lord’s service until He returns. And, that’s all I have to say about that. The liars? Well, they can just repent, or go to where the religious would like to send them. I’m sure they’d expect to meet us there.
