"We are as we love."

The title quote was written by Richard Sibbes a long time ago....but it's truth still rings so very true. Scripture tell us to "..love not the world.." How you doing? I find that loving the things of the world comes pretty easy.....and sneaky! More stuff, more this, more that....I imagine you too know the drill. Let's look at the wonderful positives of love.....love HIM, love one another. As you know, this kind of love simply LOVES!!  No strings, no correct actions.....we love because HE first loved us. Take time to read 1 John4:7-21. Is today a good day to refresh our love.......I think so!
A quick note....thanks for you prayers for Golden's CLASS conference. It went well.
Blessings,
Blaine

God's call

Greetings to each of you.....
Paul, in his letter to the church in Rome, when discussing God's dealing with Israel wrote: "...the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." Rom. 11:29. Not only does this apply to Israel, but to us as well.
All of us are gifted(1 Cor. 12:2) and all of us are called...this verse and 2 Tim. 1:9. If this is true and it is then we each need to be about the Father's business.
Gods business for me at this time in my life is Mission Marketplace. As most of you know God has led me to start a business chaplain's ministry. I love my call and would ask that you pray with me for our Father lead me to the right clients. Would you join me in praying for His plan to come forth? Thanks so very much.
Pray too for Golden and me as we go to San Antonio this Friday. Golden will be ministering at a CLASS workshop. CLASS is her writers and speakers group. We will be doing some marketing too for book four "His Steadfast Love."
Blessings

An Unending Mission Field

“The concept of mission is very important to us,” says Moore. “We use the company as a platform to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all the people we can. That’s where our heart is. Our business is a mission field.” So says Bill Moore, Mid-West busines owner. A new concept....hardlly! Jesus says..."as you go preach." Early in His public ministry He said: "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." The work shine means to radiate. I like that....better still our Father likes it too...Shine today!
