Press On

Good morning. It seems that summer has disappeared for a few days but it's coming back later this week. Yeah!

This coming weekend, I will be ministering at Abundant Life Assembly of God in Altoona, Pennsylvania. On Friday night, I will minister at a Ladies Refreshing service that will be open to all the churches in the South Central West section. On Sunday, I will minister to the congregation in both the morning and evening services. I just sense that the Lord wants to come and move...to bring a fresh touch to His people. Will you pray that these meetings will do just that.

For the past several months, I have been running 3 miles a day about 5 to 6 times a week. There are times when I don't feel like doing it but I find myself faithfully getting on a treadmill or running on the streets. The end results far outweigh any hesitations I have to not run. Due to my efforts, I have lost weight and I'm in the best shape I've been in years. Our Christian walk may at times feel like that. There are times we may not feel like spiritually training, by that I mean reading our Bibles and praying. But the final outcome, a mature walk with Christ and fellowship with Him, far outweigh any present distractions. Like the Apostle Paul, may we "press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:14)
