I was truly blessed to receive Richard’s note of thanks for sharing the Gospel many years ago. God’s Word is true, and His Word will not return empty but achieve the purpose He has for it. Richard’s word of affirmation gave me a renewed passion for continuing to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others, trusting it will achieve His intended purpose and that He will use it for His glory.

45 years ago today, I repented of my sins and professed faith in Jesus and became a child of God (John 1:12). Thank you, Jesus, for drawing me to You and being born again! John 3:3 “Jesus answered him, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

The Roundtable is part of Life Church’s (Huntington, IN) ministry. At the Roundtable, “we continue the conversations from Sunday morning and how you can learn practical ways to help every person take their next steps towards Jesus…together.” I was blessed to be invited to join Mike and Jenny to discuss Evangelism and to share about Go & Tell Ministries.

I really enjoyed talking with Christopher and Derimia on their Each One Reach One show this week. May the Lord is it to raise up workers for the harvest field (Matthew 9:35-38)

If your family doesn’t appreciate your faith, take heart. Jesus faced the same thing in His family. But remember, the Bible is full of stories about families and their faith in God. May you continue to pray for the salvation of your family and remember never to give up. My mom and dad professed faith in Jesus because of my preaching and eventually understood my teenage preoccupation with the Lawrence Welk singers.

Go Tell it on the Mountain is an African American spiritual song dating back to 1865. It is now known as a Christmas hymn announcing that Jesus Christ is born. When I sing this wondrous song, I think of Isaiah 52:7, “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, ‘Your God reigns!'”
