WordPoints Report

There is no way to avoid the 24/7 administrative work that goes with a large website. I do not complain about this, since every blessing has its cost, but I sometimes wonder if readers understand the amount of time required by this part of my work.

My work this fall will be studying, reading, praying, and planning for the next book, “Walking in Christ.” It would be irresponsible to begin a project of this magnitude without preparing for it prayerfully, so that is mainly what I’ll be doing.

I enjoyed doing a Zoom Bible study with the Fortune Road congregation in Kissimmee FL last Sunday. It was good to work again with the Christians there. Chris Jones and Mark Copeland are the elders, and Caleb Lungstrum is the evangelist.

Beginning sometime next year, Lord willing, I will start a “video blog” called Encountering Christ. This will be a series of videos in which I will proclaim the Christ of the Scriptures, inviting people into the Scriptures to meet the Savior who is to be found there.

I had the privilege of preaching at Clarksville, Indiana on January 3. The congregation there is without a local preacher right now, and it was a pleasure to help them kick off their theme for this year, “A Church with a Mind to Work.” They have asked me to return on February 7.

I expect we are all hoping for a better year in 2021. For me, however, the completion of Obeying the Gospel and AreYouaChristian.com made this a banner year. I will always look back on 2020 with a special fondness and gratitude.

Needless to say, I am relieved that “Obeying the Gospel” is now out of my hands and available to be ordered by readers. Now, even if anything untoward should happen to me, the book can still move forward and do whatever good the Lord wills for it to do.
