Time is passing with every second that ticks on the clock bringing every one of us closer to eternity. We are living amidst a culture that is contrary to the one established in the Word of God. What changes a person from being comfortable in culture to becoming instead counter-cultural? Larry and Gloria Lundstrom share how the altar changed everything as they gave their lives to Jesus Christ! They were different. They changed. They were now of a different culture! And you can be too!

After a "bumpy" week for the Lundstroms, Gloria shares some insight into how she faces the times when things aren't going as planned, when it feels like things are going the opposite direction and when trials seem to abound----the JOY of the LORD is MY STRENGTH! She shares how faith is tested in the midst of trials revealing who we truly are and how we can allow that revealing to grow us more into the likeness of Jesus Christ! Be encouraged--when we are tried--we will receive the crown of life!

The more time passes, we are seeing the trend of people walking away from Christianity. "Sometimes you nibble your way away from God"---small choices, small offenses, small lies begin to change one's trajectory. That's why it is essential to keep John 3:16 and the simple Gospel message at the forefront of our lives---God loved. God gave (sacrificed) His Son. We believe. We are saved for eternity! Let's not wait for a disaster to point us to Jesus, but rather desire because He loved us first!

There is a moment that unless Jesus comes for us....all of mankind will face death! What the sinner will know immediately following that event will be torcher as it is made clear---"When it is over, it isn't over." That truth along with 6 other facts will be understood. The good news is that if you are reading this, there is time to come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior--in fact--an opportunity is available at the end of this video! Listen in and make Jesus Lord today!

In today's time together, Gloria shares about a time in her life where she truly wanted to be used more by the Lord but felt there was a hindrance. Through this time of searching with the Lord, it was realized that Gloria was in a prison of unforgiveness, and she shares how the Lord led her to freedom. Her authentic and vulnerable testimony is powerful and holds keys to where your own prison door of unforgiveness can be unlocked! You have a choice to make!

As July continues and we celebrate America and the gift of freedom we enjoy, Larry and Gloria invited dear friend and former ministry team member, Jeff Nordin, to provide a patriotic concert of favorite celebratory songs as well as precious hymns speaking of God's greatness and power! Along with sharing some nuggets of wisdom reminding us that in uncertain times we can put our hope and trust in the all powerful God we serve, this reunited team will encourage you with music and message!

We have all sinned which makes all sinners at some point. (Romans 3:23) There are some RIGHTS that sinners have and today Larry and Gloria share what those rights are: To know he has sinned, to know that he can know he is saved and to know that he has a choice to be saved. Ending with a simple opportunity to make that choice, this straight to the point and uncomplicated message paves the way for you to take advantage of the rights and CHOOSE to make Jesus Lord and Savior of your life!

What a special time together as Larry and Gloria Lundstrom hosted special guests, Bret and Daniella Leininger, who serve as Career Missionary Associates in Constanta, Romania. They share their story and how God led them into ministry, led them to each other and then led them on some new pathways as the war with Ukraine intensified bringing refugees in need of support to their area. Throughout it all, you will see how God is working all over the world and be encouraged He is on the move!

As Larry just celebrated his birthday this week, this time together is a special time of remembering moments through the years and then Larry goes on to share if he had just 10 minutes left of life on this earth, what would he say. In Larry's easygoing but poignant way, he continues to point to the fact that we live eternally---we are just changing destinations so what do you need to pack in your bag---belief, birth, blood and burden. It is a great message to get one thinking!

In today's CCLIVE, Larry and Gloria take some time to remember how impactful the spiritual investments like Vacation Bible School were in their lives as children. As it is summertime and many of these activities are taking place, they issue a challenge to be intentional to sow eternally into your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren. We are reminded that we live eternally but the destination in our choice. We inherited lostness but we don't have to stay that way because of Jesus Christ!

As Father's Day approaches, Larry and Gloria recognize the ways that their fathers impacted them and then look ahead to share how there is a battle for the family. Larry shares how the bible instructs parents to teach the kids daily, living out your Christian life before them, but even with that, children have a free will and are free to make other choices. When that happens, Larry and Gloria share some things parents can do in the midst of the journey!

Larry and Gloria Lundstrom host special guests, Mark and Julie Morse of Kingdom Purpose International. From the beginning to the very end, you hang on every word as you learn about the incredible journey Mark and Julie have been on and how every experience they went through prepared them on their mission of raising the next generation to share the Gospel with their neighbor and the nations! Be prepared to be inspired, challenged and encouraged by this dynamic couple giving their all for Christ!
