Two Night's Meeting:

I'm sitting here hoping that last night and tonight canfruitfully meet.

I'm always encouraged when I hear reports from the Gideons.  TheGideons are a very straight ahead group of guys who happen to believe in the power of God's word to change lives.  Every time your heart beats two Bibles or New Testaments are given or placed by the Gideons. A friend of mine, a missionary in Honduras, came to the Lord, from a life of hopelessness, through a Gideon Testament.  A young Apache man I went to seminary with was training to become a medicine man.  He found the greatest medicine in a little student New Testament that his brother was about to burn in the stove.  As I say it is always an encouragement to hear these stories and meet people who are committed to put God's Word in as many hands and hearts as possible.  

 

Tonight, a group of guys are getting together at Covington Bible Church.  It's the beginning of our Men's Weekend.  We'll sit down to a manly feast, enjoy masculine conversation, and, hopefully, admit to needs that are common to men in the 21st Century,  That's where I'm hoping last night will show up.  Via some videos and discussion, Bible teacher Gene Getz will join us.  His Measure of a Man series has helped guys all over the world.  It's not because he is so clever or relevant that his presentation has helped so many; it's because he is sharing the truth of the Bible.  I'm praying that some guys here in the Alleghany Highlands will step up to a new level of commitment to the Lord becoming a greater source of blessing in our needy world.

 

The Word of God is "living, and active."  It still changes lives.  

 

It's STTA.
