Before we begin today I wanted to let you know that we are considering the idea of putting a "podcast" online, to allow folks to be able to automatically download a daily word, in an audio format, to listen to on the way to work, or as you get ready for work in the morning.
If you think you'd be interested in this offering, please keep us in your prayers. This will take some work on my part, to keep it current and to seek GOD for something to say that will encourage you daily ... not just fill the time slot. I appreciate you, your gifts and your prayers!
TODAY, I want you to ask yourself this question:
Where you are today, and with what you're doing today, in your personal life, in your church, and with the gifts that GOD has given you ... "Are you 'actively' working in GOD's plan for your life?"
It's an easy question to ask, but the answer is often an unsettling one. As I observe my life and that of my family I realize that we've allowed "circumstances" to implement changes in our lives, where we go to church, and in what my wife and I are doing as ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. You see, when you're "called", YOU - ARE - CALLED and there is no option. You will get no peace ... UNTIL you answer that calling!
So, today ... as you finish reading this newsletter, ask yourself: "Am I doing what GOD created me for?"
You have a gift! You are not just another face on the planet, but YOU ARE UNIQUE in what you do, how you do it and to WHOM that GOD has called you to minister to!
Don't answer this quickly ... this is a time-challenged prayer. You have to quiet your heart and all of the dreams that "you" have had to accomplish in this life, and you have to hear ... you have to "listen", and listen as the Holy Spirit speaks!
Make me proud!
