Co-workers in the Gospel
Sherry and I went to a holiday party last night for our school faculty and staff. It was fun to chat with co-workers and get to know them and their spouses better. Did you know that WE are also “co-workers” with God and other believers as we preach the gospel to reconcile men and women back to God?
There is snow in North Carolina today. Sometimes it is rare here, but still very lovely. The Bible speaks of how important snow is to daily life, and how significant as a comparison to eternal affairs this frozen moisture is.

GOD IS FAITHFUL
A new hymn based on scripture:
E. W. Bullinger has an appendix in The Companion Bible that shows how Genesis finds its complement in the Apocalypse. Thus, the Bible opens and closes with important truths about God’s plan for mankind in sending His Son to redeem us. Here are some parallels found in these two books, Genesis and Revelation.

Walking in the Light
Have you ever stubbed your toe because you had no “night light”? God wants us to see where we are going spiritually. Jesus told us about this.

It Doesn’t Change What’s True
I’ve applied for a teaching job in North Carolina where we are moving to. I want to teach because I love a learning environment and to see young people grow into noble and well-rounded adults. I also enjoy working with other educators who do the same. But whether or not I get this job doesn’t change God’s power, love, or kindness to me. I want to do His will, and I know that, as my loving Father, He will meet my every need. How do I know that? Because He promises it in Philippians 4:19: “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

Risen and Fallen
There’s an old saying: “It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.” That may be true in one sense, but when we do things properly—God is faithful to reward us. There are consequences [positive or negative] for what is done. That is never truer than in the case of Jesus Christ, God’s only-begotten Son, and his archenemy, Lucifer.
We’ve recently published some books to help people better understand the Bible. They are the structures of the scriptures: the big picture, a middle view, and a detailed look at each verse. This series on Biblical structure helps readers build a scope of God’s Word.

Bearing Seed
Recently my oldest sister sent me some morning glory seeds in the mail. I opened the letter, took out the seeds and stuck them in the ground. Now I have a beautiful vine that blossoms each morning with deep violet flowers. I do need to water them occasionally, but God designed all the work to be done by the seed itself. It’s the same with the gospel. We just sow it, and God gives the increase.
