87% of all American households admit to having a Bible and most individuals own at least 3. Compare this to nations of the world where Christianity is not the first faith. As the mission trip leader said, many of these pastors preach because they are saved and feel the call. But they do not have the knowledge of the Scriptures. Think of Appolos in Acts 18: 26. He was preaching but had to have the Word explained to him more fully. This is why I am making the effort to take teaching resources to Africa. I STILL NEED YOUR HELP TO PAY FOR THE PRINTING OF "SERMONS TO CHANGE LIVES" AND "SANCTUARY"in Kenya.You may give by phone using the Zelle app, by mail, or by Western Union. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP .

Life in the Spirit
Weekly Word from the Wisdom Walk
The Apostle John was imprisoned on the prison island of Patmos because of his faith in Jesus Christ. Alone with only the sound of the birds and the ceaseless ocean, John had plenty of time to succumb to loneliness and despair. Instead, he kept his time of worship and fellowship with God. So much so, he was able to pinpoint his massive revelation of the end of the age as happening on the Lord's Day.
Regardless of our personal situation, the Lord's Day invariably comes. What will it mean for us?
John was not defined by Patmos and the harsh circumstances of his exile. He remained an Apostle faithful in worship, living life in the Spirit. As a result, we know him as the scribe of the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
By what will you be defined, by your troubles or by life in the Spirit?
Thanks for joining me on the Weekly Word from the Wisdom Walk.

He Knows Where You Are
Weekly Word from the Wisdom Walk
Sustained faith can be challenging especially when there is no discernable answer to prayer. Consider Job in his dilemma. To the best of his knowledge, he was in right standing with God. Still , his world completely fell apart. Worse yet, God seemed nowhere to be found. Job described his search in all the usual places, no trace. Finally, Job concluded , I can't find him, but he knows where I am (Job 23:10).
What a powerful truth! You are not lost or hidden. Nor is God ignoring your cries. He is Omniscient - trust him.

Show me your face
I have been thinking along these lines for the past week: what if we would ask God less to show us his power or to bless us and ask him instead to show us his face?
Moses saw and did many miracles but that was not enough to keep the people he led focused on God. They worshipped after every miracle and wandered away as soon as the awe dimmed. We, are exactly the same.
Moses asked to see God. Look at his prayer, "show me your face" Not more of the spectacular but more of you. I strongly suspect God is not as interested in proving to us the wonders of which He is capable, as much as he is in making us more like him.
It's phenomenal receiving gifts from God's hands but permanent spiritual transformation begins when we "see " his face, a glimpse of who he truly is.
