Hello everyone! It has truly been an eventful summer: God raised up a host of young men and women to follow Him and they are in process, eaager to join God on mission. Several completing their college work, two beginning their training at seminary(includes my daughter Hannah) BUT all in process and all passionately in love with Jesus. We are so blessed! I have been doing a study of King David, the man who God took and transformed from being a shepherd boy of his father's flock to one of the greatest kings the world has ever known. God Himself called David "a man after my own heart" and in 1 Chronicles 11:9 God gives us the source of David's power: "And David became more and more powerful, because the Lord Almighty was with him." David wrote Psalm 20 and in verses 6 & 7 again gives us the source of power: "Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God." But we also see that God uses "A Few Good Men" to support His leadership and beginning this Thursday evening, I am asking a handful of men to join me in a quest to depend more fully on the Lord in Bible study, prayer and biblical fellowship. The Apostle Paul writes in Ephesians 6:10 "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power." May God help us in the spiritual battle against a crafty enemy who seeks to destroy and devour! But we claim the promise of God that "greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world". (1 John 4:4) Amen and Amen! Pray for us!
