Is NEXT STEPS your next right step?

My life was changed by next steps. God used the classes to formulate a foundation of growth that changed and solidified my relationship with Him. The apprenticeship challenged my resolve and my relationships but grew me into a better person ready to face the challenge of spreading the gospel the world over.

    Deaf and Staying by Choice

    It’s a little past 3:30 AM, and I’m wide awake. Souls are on my mind! In morning prayer yesterday, I read these words, and can’t shake them, “He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame” (Proverbs 10:5). The principle here is: we shouldn’t sleep when there is so much work to be done.

    The God that Stood in the Gap

    It’s a little past 3:30 AM, and I’m wide awake. Souls are on my mind! In morning prayer yesterday, I read these words, and can’t shake them, “He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame” (Proverbs 10:5). The principle here is: we shouldn’t sleep when there is so much work to be done.

    Asleep in Harvest

    It’s a little past 3:30 AM, and I’m wide awake. Souls are on my mind! In morning prayer yesterday, I read these words, and can’t shake them, “He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame” (Proverbs 10:5). The principle here is: we shouldn’t sleep when there is so much work to be done.

    What’s Your Life Verse?

    One of my favorite Bible verses, in whichever translation you pull up, is 2 Timothy 2;2. It’s a life verse to me. It sets my purpose, is personal and profound, and is factored into all of my plans.

    Wanted 05.06.20

    Imagine the Classified Section of “Heaven’s Chronicles.” One ad for employment reads something like this.

    Home Alone 2020

    Slow down. Better still; STOP! Sometimes it’s just fitting to go into self-imposed, Spirit-imposed, or other-imposed quarantine.

    He’s Got You Covered

    Have you noticed that an oft-repeated Bible verse, during the pandemic, comes from Psalms 91? Much of the chapter ministers to us today but here I consider one main thought.

    Our Known God in Unknown Times

    Pick up a newspaper. Tune into a radio station. Surf the Net. Dreary stories are plentiful. The economy plummets. The pandemic provokes panic. Political chaos prevails. Extortionists plunder. Catastrophes produce pressure. It is easy to be caught in despair, depression, and desperation. We live in unsettling times. However, there are a couple things to remember. God’s Word remains the same. It is forever settled. God never slumbers or sleeps (Psalms 121:4). We can put our confidence in Him and His Word.

    Praying the Word for the Unreached World

    What do Angola, Afghanistan, Bermuda, Algeria, Turkmenistan and the Gambia (among others) have in common? These are nations or territories that are unreached or minimally reached. How will we reach them? First things first. Paul said, “First of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men” (I Timothy 2:1).
