Still ministering, how about you

Praise God for His unending grace and peace! Carl and I have not been well for a couple of weeks. It was a time of frustration in some ways. We are too old in body to make up for lost time. Nonetheless, it was a time when we chose to seek God’s face for direction so that we might accomplish the most for Him!

Our students’ lessons came in as usual and, by God’ grace, they went out as usual.  They represented the hearts of many people who are thirsting for God’s Word. They thrive on the presence of the Lord more, as shut ins and inmates, than ever before. Some have been giving testimony of how their lives have change greatly since working through Bible To You lessons. Some have been meeting with several others on a regular basis to do these lessons and then pray together.

Wow, when we see what God can do with the offering of two lives, even in older age, it is amazing! Maybe some of you, who are reading this, have been wishing you could serve the Lord in just such a way but have not found a ministry that you can to do. Why not try BTY? You may not like to reach out by mail, but you can have Bible studies in your home, at a neighbor’s house or as an incentive for kids. We are still ministering, how about you?!

We are blessed!

This home has been blessed: Carl was able to prepare a large garden, all plants and seeds are in, and growing.

This ministry has been blessed: God has supplied a web site builder to rebuild and modernize the Bible To You website. The dear man is still serving God, with his ability, at age 81! He is doing a great job of it. What a blessing, and what a testimony for the rest of us to learn from!

This week’s student lesson returns are corrected. Carl is stuffing the return envelopes with a new lesson, 2 gospel tracts, pages from daily devotionals and a bi-weekly write-up we call “Bits of Home Chat”, as well as a memory verse and verses to ponder; they coordinate with the memory verse. If you have a jail or prison outreach, this is a great way to make your students feel like a part of your family and church. For instance, we share about church activities and general things about our daily life. We could send you some samples if you are interested in trying this concept. (Be wise, as not using children’s names, and not giving information that could lead to your being misused.)

My ladies’ Bible Study has been blessed! The ladies’, from my home Bible study, started making baby supplies for the Pregnancy Resource Center in Shelby, NC. The Center has gotten their rebuilt ultrasound unit ready to go, serving more towns and Cities, helping moms to keep their babies. Three more ladies also volunteered. One lady donated about 16 yards of material for nursing cover-ups, baby carrying slings and seat liners for shopping carts. Two ladies, a mother and daughter, have prepared 30 embroidered bibs. Two young ladies, sisters, are doing matching hats and booties. Another is making baby afghans and bonnets. A little girl is sewing burp clothes. I am doing the baby-carrying slings. If any of you wish to aid the Pregnancy Resource Center, please contact them as follows:
Pregnancy Resource Center of Cleveland County Inc.1304 S. Post Road

Remember the value of learning the Word, and living by the Word:

Joshua 1: 8-9 “8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest… Set your heart and see good: Deut. 32: 46-47 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel: 46 And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. 47 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. Living by the Word produces life.

Welcome

The entire 119th Psalm is dedicated to describing and prescribing the inexhaustible benefits of reading, studying and embracing God’s word.   One hundred and seventy six verses detail the incredible power the word of God can have on the righteous man who applies his heart to the study and obedience of God’s word.

Pr 15:28 (KJV) The heart of the righteous studieth to answer…

1Th 4:11 (KJV) And that ye study to be quiet…

2Ti 2:15 (KJV) Study to shew thyself approved unto God…
