KIDS CAN SERVE
God has long been in the business of using young people for the glory of His kingdom. In Genesis chapter 37, we read how He used Joseph. Only a youth, with fantastic dreams, God’s hand was upon Joseph.

It Echoes Up the Holler
Terry Newsom and Mitchell Cathey are co-pastors of Cumberland Furnace COGOP in Dickson County, Tennessee. Because of their reputation as larger-than-life mountain movers, State Overseer E.C. McKinley has dubbed these Western Highland Rim ministers the “Cumberland Furnace Boys.” District presbyter Mike Burton asked them to co-pastor the church after faithful COGOP trailblazer, Pastor Buna Lampley (who had mentored them), went to glory.

THE GRACE OF GIVING
Apostle Peter writes, “We are being built up a spiritual house” (see 1 Peter 2:5 NKJV). In this “spiritual house,” systems and structure, while important, must well up from the essentials of deep intimate relationships with God and one another. Systems and structures should serve the church, not the church serving the systems and structures. In some cases, we have endeavored to develop a global financial system to produce a healthy global function of biblical stewardship. The essential relationships must precede the critical systems and structures for the spiritual health of the church at all levels of ministry to be fruitful.

LAS IGLESIAS SALUDABLES SON IGLESIAS DADIVOSAS
Por lo general cuando pienso en la dádiva viene a mi mente también esta analogía: ¿Cómo puede Dios bendecirnos si nuestras manos están apretadas, aferradas a todo lo que poseemos? La respuesta es que no puede bendecirnos. No obstante, si nuestras manos están abiertas, si damos libremente de lo que tenemos, entonces también están abiertas para recibir lo que viene de Dios.

RECIBA SU ALIENTO
El aliento de Dios da vida. Estamos aquí porque Dios sopló en nosotros aliento de vida. Ezequiel nos habla del encuentro espiritual o visión que experimentó en el capítulo 37. El Espíritu del Señor lo llevó a un valle que estaba lleno de huesos secos y le preguntó: “Hijo de hombre, ¿vivirán estos huesos?” El profeta respondió: “Señor Jehová, tú lo sabes”.

Alguien vino a buscarme
La pastora Marcey Brannon dirige la Iglesia de Dios de la Profecía en Crab Orchard, Tenesí. Crab Orchard tiene un legado sólido en las misiones —domésticas y foráneas. Recientemente tuve la oportunidad de entrevistar a la pastora Brannon y hablar sobre las muchas maneras en que su iglesia está alcanzando a su comunidad local. Además de los ministerios que tiene, esta iglesia recauda miles de dólares anualmente para las misiones a través de ventas de garaje; distribuyen cajas de comida durante los días festivos; bendicen a las familias de bajos ingresos con regalos de Navidad; y una vez al mes sirven en un refugio local para los desamparados.

Personal Accountability in Chaos - AN INTERVIEW WITH JAMES HOLLIS, PhD
“Central to the agenda of the second half of life is the recovery of permission to really own your own life: to truly feel what you feel, desire what you desire, and to pursue whatever your soul wants you to pursue. For most people, that permission is still very conditional and very remote, and you can’t get it from someone else. It takes a realization: I have to seize my life because it is short—and I’m here to place my energies where my values really are. The current crisis presents an enormous opportunity for encountering oneself and granting that permission—if we can bear it.”
