04/16/26 PUSHING ONWARD
A FEW of the things I would like to spend more time studying and doing in my ministry.
I have been pursuing and teaching these studies for sixty-one years, but there is so much to learn and do that it is an ongoing adventure.
Scripture and Biblical word study; Theology and Doctrine; Church History; Outreach (local, cross-cultural, and foreign).
Reaching and teaching more people; Ministry training; community outreach; home Bible studies; developing a local Hispanic ministry, and an online ministry for people in other parts of the world.
I have used a lot of fun and health activities for personal benefits and ministry opportunities, but I am finding these three to be profitable at this stage of my life.
Kayaking, fishing, and kayak fishing (individually, with friends and family) for relaxation, health, fellowship, and ministry.
I have several challenges that I want to do, though I am already in my 80th year (I am 79 years old). I have enjoyed my journey so-far, but I see so much more that needs to be done.
Like Caleb at the age of 85 (though much more vigorous than I), I am thinking, "Lord, give me this mountain (these hills)." I am eager to do more, including equipping others for the work that needs to be done.
Sometimes we get to the point where we are unable to do things we want. We can't help some situations in life, but we should at least live in such a way that we don't disqualify ourselves, and we should always seek and follow the vision that God has for us.
