 PRESS ON!  

Through the storm
Through the rain

I press on
Through the pain

Through the dark
Through the night
I press on
To reach the light

Through the valley
Through the height
Through the fight
I press on

Through the changes
Through the ages
Through the days
I press on

Press On!

Read Acts 12:25; 13:5, 13-15

Paul, Barnabas, and John Mark left Cyprus and sailed to the southern coast of Turkey—a land then known as Pamphylia, whose rugged coastline ascended sharply into the towering heights of a mountain range steeper and fiercer than the eastern Tauras near Tarsus, and more terrible than any hills known to the Cypriot Barnabas or the Judean John Mark.

That sight alone may have initiated the storm surge of doubt that would eventually flood young John Mark's soul. In this region Paul became gravely ill with malaria or some other serious coastal fever. That may have been the last straw for the inexperienced traveler to endure. Without any explanation, Luke simply writes, "John left them and returned to Jerusalem." But going on from Perga, they pressed on. Without even as much as a hiccup, the journey continued. Paul and Barnabas were undeterred by John Mark's desertion.

Here's an important observation: all the way through ministry, people leave. In every church there will be individuals who, for whatever reason, move on to other things. This includes those in leadership. They leave, but the church presses on. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding their departure, the journey continued. For Paul and Barnabas there was neither time nor need for a long, drawn-out farewell. They pressed ahead, keeping their eyes focused on the goal.

It's hard to press on when you feel abandoned. It's easy to give in to discouragement and allow that to siphon your tank dry, but Paul and Barnabas had no such luxury. Emotions in check, they had a job to do. So they moved forward with an even stronger determination.

One of the marks of maturity is the ability to press ahead regardless of who walks off the scene. The alternative isn't an option. Once you've said goodbye, it's time for everyone to move on. That's exactly what Paul and Barnabas did. As Paul wrote in his letter to the Philippians: "I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" (3:14).

Oh my God! / You are God!

OMG! Oh my God You know my heart, You set its beat and made it start; Oh my Savior You let me believe, You are the one who redeems me. Oh my God You know my soul, You let me go and hold me close; Oh my Strength You are my peace, You are the reason that I breathe. Oh my God You know my mind, Your Word fills my dark with light; Oh my Shepherd You are my song, You are the righter of all my wrong. Oh my Jesus You are my friend, You stay with me past the end; Today the world is broken and lost, But today and forever You are God!

that He gave His only Son,

would not perish but will

have eternal life.

FORWARD FAITH

FORWARD FAITH

Yesterday behind 

Tomorrow yet to come 

Your future is as bright 

As the ever-faithful Sun

Held in place by gravity 

The hand of God Himself 

Your choices made today 

Determine heaven or hell

Jesus paved the way 

Paid the ultimate price 

Instituted forward faith 

To get you through life

Yesterday left behind 

Tomorrow yet to come 

Your future is as bright 

As the ever-present Son

FRUIT Of The SPIRIT

FRUIT Of The SPIRIT GALATIANS 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,  patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness and self-control. Against such  things there is no law.  FRUIT Of The SPIRIT Love is; Joy sings; Peace prays; Patience waits; Kindness gives; Faithfulness shares; Gentleness comforts; Self-control stands guard. J.E.P 2014 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified  the sinful nature with its passions and desires.  Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with  the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking  and envying each other. (v23)
