Welcome to the word of God online
January 1, 2010
Well here we are at the beginning of a new year. I’ve always liked the beginning of new years as we have the opportunity to begin again. Kind of like a new beginning of sorts.
Over the last couple weeks have been reflecting on the previous year and looking at different areas in my life. It’s been a great year for the word of God online as many milestones were made. Additionally I suffered 2 attacks on this website that caused me to have to rebuild the site a couple of times. Luckily the data that I had on the site was secure, and it wasn’t too difficult to fix. Although, the last attack was much more severe and the site was down for several days as I tried to figure out how to fix it.
But today is January 1, 2010 and it’s a new year. I’m looking forward to another great year here on the word of God online and to deepen my relationship with Christ. This is certainly a year of some transitions happening in my life as for the first time in 18 years I’ll have a empty nest. As a matter of fact I’m going to be leaving in about an hour and a half to take my daughter to the airport as she heads off to Boise Idaho to participate in the Vineyard school of missions.
So this is going to leave some additional time for me to do some other things. One of the things I wanted to do for a long time is to work locally volunteering my time in the local soup kitchen or something of the sorts. I’ve looked into this several times and have come away with a feeling of less than excitement let’s say, as I was rather discouraged by the fact that I was unable to allow my love of Christ to be shared in practical ways. But, recently a new organization to our town has opened up in a building here locally. It’s called the root cellar and the foundation of this organization is 100% Christian-based. A lot of people don’t know this but the city I live in which is Lewiston and Auburn, has a area and it that covers about a square mile it is the poorest square-mile north of Boston.
So I’m looking forward at volunteering some time at the root cellar this year.
Additionally, on the word of God online you be able to look forward to spending time in the book of Romans. As I’ve recently picked up a book that is just on the book of Romans which happens to be my favorite book. So we will have an in-depth Bible study within the book of Romans. Additionally my wife got me a new daily devotional by Henry Blackaby. Henry is also the author of experiencing God which is another book that I’m going to spend time in. I went through about half of the experiencing God workbook and absolutely loved it but as it happens a lot I fell away towards the end half of this book.
For the past couple years my daily devotion has been my Smith Wigglesworth book, and it has been fantastic for me because it is really helped me understand the power of healing through Christ. I can’t think of another more powerful man of God who was able to create so much healing of others throughout his life as Smith Wigglesworth. Smith Wigglesworth is dead but I am sure he can hear me and I’m thinking them publicly now for really helping me better understand the power of healing and the acceptance of that because that was an area for me in my Christian walk that I found to be very difficult to accept.
But as it is a new year I’m announcing here on the word of God online tonight, that I will be going in some different directions this year although I will still be using the living Bible as the basis for Bible scripture. I will be expanding in using other Bibles as well for the year 2010.
So there’s lots to look forward to hearing the year 2010 at the word of God online. Something else I’m looking forward to doing and hopefully by the middle of the year I’ll begin to start putting this in play is a daily online Bible study that will be inside a life webinar Room. This is been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, but the time commitment to do it would require that I have an income that frees up more of my time to be able to hold daily online Bible studies with you.
I’m also going to be adding a donation button so if you feel this ministry is helping you I would appreciate if you can help support it by making a small but regular donation. The more view that donate on a regular basis, the quicker how be able to move towards my objective of starting a daily online Bible study.
One of the things I’m going to do and I hope you will too is listen to worship music much more. There’s lots of free time in our days that we could be filling our ears with a beautiful sounds of worship music. Someone I challenge you to do which you can to fill your ears with more of God’s word to the wonderful music that’s out there.
I am excited about the upcoming year and I hope you are too and I hope you’ll feel free to respond on here and share in the conversations and that we could develop here.
Happy new year and I’ll talk soon to you.
