“Being and Doing What is Truly Great”
Steven A. Bush
When the Holy Spirit is at work in a church and genuine love for God and one another is real, that’s a pretty sweet fishing spot, the right side of the boat to be casting our nets, the pier from which we want to cast our lines.
“Harvest Time – Workers Needed!”
Steven A. Bush
Who were those vessels and voices that came into your life at just the right time as He was making you His own? No matter who they were, it’s fair to call them laborers. God wants all of us to be one of those.
“Good News Makes for Beautiful Feet”
Steven A. Bush
The Commission Jesus gave was not a mere suggestion. Good News as good as this should not be kept a secret. Beautiful feet should indeed take this News everywhere they go…
“Keep Your Lamps Lit for Jesus’ Return”
Steven A. Bush
Are these the end times? Yes! But they began with Jesus’ first coming and won’t culminate until His second coming. And what have we to do in the meantime? Plenty!
“Saying Whoa While on the Go”
Steven A. Bush
How can we fervently endeavor to stay on mission, always on the go, always pressing on and pressing into God without becoming frantic on the one hand or complacent on the other?
“Church Beginnings”
Gene Tope
Brother Gene Tope shares some experiences that he and his wife Karleen had during their many ministry trips to Ghana, Africa.
“You Are the Light of the World”
Mark B. Thogmartin
While Jesus was on the earth, he was, actively, the Light of the World. When he left the earth, he commissioned his followers, his church, to be the light of the world. Believers shine the light by doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with their God.
“Cracked Pots with Treasure”
Steven A. Bush
Sharing the Good News is sometimes difficult and full of opposition. Jesus promised such challenges but commissioned us nonetheless. Besides lacking courage, sometimes we just feel too unworthy to share Christ with others. Yet we must remember that it is ultimately God that causes light to shine in the darkness of people’s hearts.
“Changing Our Names to Herald”
Steven A. Bush
Throughout the Scriptures, God is famous for changing people’s names or giving them more than one. In a manner of speaking, God has also changed all our names to Herald. The Greek word for Herald is: “Kérux” (Kay’-roox) “A herald, preacher, or proclaimer.” We have been called to be Heralds of Good News–declaring first and foremost that God is!
“Ten Minas Plus A Handkerchief”
Steven A. Bush
Jesus certainly has entrusted much to us in terms of talents, gifts, and graces, skills and abilities, time and opportunities. Are we truly engaging in His business? There’s a deepening concern with the church’s diminishing sense of urgency while sinking ever more into a malaise of complacency.
