There is No Plan B: You are it! Stories from a Canadian.

I'm working on a memoir of sorts. My journey, thoughts and adventures all gathered together. Not that many people would read it, except maybe Len Evans if he was alive. He did have several published works and encouraged me to keep writing. I've been featured several different places including: Christian Standard, Christianity Today, Youth Specialties, and quoted in a few books. People envision writing a book as getting $$$ and famous but that's not it. I'm writing more not for celebrity, nor being recognized but more of a therapy of sorts. A look back to look forward. A part of that will be blogging more and including some of the material here in my own source material. So Welcome. There is no Plan B, but God can use you and He will. Let's begin the journey together. http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/ZioO

Giving Jesus Away

From the Preacher's Desk: Giving Jesus Away 2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out ... Romans 10:14 says: "How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? Recently a four year old boy had commented to me: "You're the guy who gives Jesus away." (For clarity's sake: I give away these mini-Jesus figures away as a reminder that to take Jesus with you and that everyone needs a little Jesus, Of course, some of us need a whole lot of Jesus). How would you like to be known as the one who gives Jesus away? What a honor, responsibility and command. We are all called to be Jesus' hands and feet, part of the body of Christ. We are all suppose to be fulfilling the Great Commission as to go and make disciples. (Matt. 28:16-20) and the greatest commandment to Love the Lord with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind; and to love our neighbor as ourselves. When was the last time you shared Jesus? Don't keep Him to yourself, share Him. May you be encouraged to give Jesus away. See You Sunday. Your Smiling Preacher, Gerrard http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/ZioO

Three Principles

Paul wrote, "I press on toward the goal, toward the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 3:14 Three Principles that governed Paul's journeys and can apply to us today. They are: Dependence on God Acts 13:1-4 tells us Paul was intentional in his reliance on God. His choices were the result of God's promptings. This dependence also enabled Paul to demonstrate joyful perseverance in his travels. Prison couldn't dampen his praise (Acts 16:25). Even when he had been stoned and left for dead, he "got up and went back into the city" (Acts 14:20).We can also depend on the Lord to empower us during difficult circumstances. No Lone Rangers Paul understood the value of companions and teamwork. In Acts 9, Ananias restored his sight and Barnabas introduced Paul to the other apostles. On all three of his recorded missionary journeys, Paul traveled with at least one companion. E Paul did not journey alone. Journeying with others provides encouragement and accountability. Humility Despite his confidence, Paul had an attitude of humility. He considered himself "the least" of the Lord's people (Ephesians 3:8). Paul was a powerful speaker, but he relied on the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit rather than on persuasive words. We also need humility when relating to others. When we demonstrate humility before God, our traveling companions, and those we serve, God receives all the glory. http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/ZioO
