Everyone’s favorite verse to quote in recent times has been, “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:13). While this is absolutely true and evidently happening I would encourage you to read the next verse: “But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them” (2 Timothy 3:14).

We must never use the condition in our world as an excuse for our own faithlessness and fruitlessness. When the Lord said that wickedness would abound more and more He did not say that His power would wax less and less!

CONTINUE!

As we begin a new year this must be our watchword. Some pastors have talked with me recently about a theme for 2021. Perhaps this would be a good one. After a year of uncertainty and trials God’s people must determine to continue. Regardless of what may lie ahead in the new year we must make up our minds that we will continue.

This is the emphasis of this year’s Conference on Revival and Evangelism, January 5-7, 2021. My heart is always refreshed and recharged at this meeting and this year is going to be more accessible than ever. The CORE 2021 meeting will be virtual this year. From anywhere in the world you can register and participate in these encouraging sessions. You will be helped by the time in God’s Word and prayer with so many other pastors, evangelists, and Christian workers.

I look forward to joining Tim Rabon, Tom Farrell, Byron Foxx, John Goetsch, Dave Young, and Mike Norris and many of you for this meeting. Register now at core2021.net. By God’s grace let’s determine to begin the new year with God’s command and our commitment to CONTINUE.

Putting Off and Putting On

We are releasing four volumes of devotional studies through the Psalms. I am grateful for the overwhelming reception to Roadmap for Life, Volume 1, which examined the Genesis Psalms (Psalms 1-41). Volume 2, the Exodus Psalms, is now available, and we trust it will be an aid to your study of Psalms 42- 72. Because of the devotional nature of these books, I am dedicating each to someone the Lord has used in my life to teach me more about private worship and personal devotion. This new volume is: Dedicated to Eustace Riggs

A Special Dedication

Zacharias and Elisabeth. Share it online, save it for later, or use it as a tool to teach these truths to others. © Enjoying the Journey 2026. Zacharias, as a priest, knew the Old Testament Scriptures well. He would have known Isaiah 40 and Malachi 4, which prophesied of his son’s ministry. He used the Word of God to instill eternal purpose in his boy. Early in the chapter, Zacharias questioned the angel with unbelief. But by the time John was born, Zacharias stood up and spoke in bold faith and praised God (Luke 1:68). Zacharias and Elisabeth likely died before John’s public ministry commenced, yet their influence lived on. John lived in the desert without them, but their instruction rang in his ears.

Social media engagement runs from completely passive to actively committed. That same spectrum is also useful for examining our walk with God. How Engaged Are You?

    Thanks for this. We all seem to quit reading & need to move in to that next verse. I’m praying that we continue.
