I’d like to share how God has led in the past forty-four years. Mountain View Bible Church is going thru the Bible in thirty-nine months. This will be the fifth time we have done that in our adult Sunday school class. After this month, I will have completed a book report on all sixty-six books of the Bible. We have done word studies with about seven hundred words found in the Scriptures. We’ve had nursing home ministries at two local nursing homes in our area that required a different preparation. Since Covid 19, these devotionals have been going out for two years. On top of that, I couldn’t keep track of the weddings and funerals that needed clear presentations.
In a nutshell, I have binders full of illustrations and a lifetime full of experiences in my head. I’m not ready to hang it up, but I see the porch light in the distance.
Thank you for the many who take the time to read these short thoughts from the Word. I especially thank those who have prayed for this ministry and responded on occasion. Some of you have caused me to believe these are meaningful.
1 Peter 5:1-4
The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed: Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock; and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
Give it some thought.
