WORDS BY KEN AND DOTTIE

In this verse David reminds us to always move ahead despite our circumstances. As we begin 2010 in just a few hours, we challenge you to never let circumstances stop you from your goals in life. In these past three days we have looked at making our relationship with God the major priority in our life. Then to stand firm on the standards we set for our life (the Ten Commandments being the basis for our standards). Then yesterday we looked at family relationships.

We now challenge you in 2010 to consider a New Years Resolution to reach out to the world you live in and share the good news of the gospel. For many people this is only done in theory. They say that they are concerned for the world; they pray for people in need but do little or nothing about it.

We are going to make several simple suggestions for you to consider in 2010 that go beyond talk and will require action.

Are you concerned about your neighbors? If you are and are willing to do something to reach them then go to our Web Site and click on the product page. The web site is www.worldbiblesociety.org When you get to the product page go through all the DVD’s that are available. Here is what we suggest to begin with. Order just one CD on the book of Ruth. Then invite your neighbors to your home to watch a DVD on one of the books from the Old Testament. When they arrive put the DVD on and let it do all the work. Doc Beshore is an excellent communicator and at the end you can have a discussion on what was taught.

We can assure you that you will want more. Most of Doc Beshore’s studies are on 5 DVD’s and that means your friends could come 5 weeks in a row. The bottom line is that these are the tools you can use if you really want to reach out to the world you live in.

Possibly you would be more interested in reaching a poor inner city family. We have a partnership program to help you do this. We have several hundred churches who have trained their people to take a box of food that is enough to feed a family for 5 to 7 days. Then the family is invited to that church and they will be helped until they get back on their feet. We are doing this now in only four areas but we will be expanding as people like you help. You can be a HUNGER SOLUTION partner. Go to www.thehungersolution.org and make a New Years Resolution to help an inner city family

OUR VERSE TO MEMORIZE

“And you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” John 8:32

TODAYS FAMILY PRAYER

Open my heart today to the world around me. Help my family to be concerned enough about our neighbors that we do something to let them know that Jesus loves them. Teach me to pray daily for my neighbors and for a world that is searching for their Messiah.
