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.

Within the text, John opens and closes his thoughts with the idea of "believeth." Sandwiched between are details concerning being "born of God"; conversion, compassion, conduct, and conquest. These details give clarity to three aspects of the Christian life: faith, love, and obedience. When present, they testify to the validity that one has been "born of God."

The word for wilderness is “meedbar,” (מדבר). This word is spelled exactly the same in the Hebrew text as “he speaks, or I speak.” He speaks/I speak is written the same (מדבר) but pronounced differently “meh-dah-ber.” Ancient readers of the Hebrew Bible saw these words and linked them in their minds. Therefore, the wilderness must be the place where He speaks to you. The spectacular cliffs of Sede Boger in the south of Israel near Beersheba. It has been identified by some scholars with the Wilderness of Zin, which is mentioned in several places in Numbers and Deuteronomy. It is a popular destination for modern hikers and climbers.

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