Today we begin the annual gathering of the Southwide Baptist Fellowship in Raleigh, NC. We are very grateful that friends from around the country are coming to be with us for this time of preaching, prayer, and encouragement. Beautiful music will be given and Bible messages will be preached. A host of exhibitors will make available helpful resources and we know the fellowship will be sweet.

Will you join us?

  • Join us in person beginning tonight at Beacon Baptist Church, 2110 Trawick Road | Raleigh, NC 27604. The ministry displays open at 5:30 pm. The opening service begins at 7:00 pm.
  • Join us online for all services. They will be live-streamed at southwidebaptist.org.
  • Join us in prayer that the Holy Spirit will help and strengthen the Lord’s servants through this year’s meeting.

You may find the full schedule for Monday-Wednesday at southwidebaptist.org/speakers-schedule/. We hope to see you in person but trust that many of you who cannot come will be able to be a part from a distance. These are exciting days to serve Christ and this must be our heart: “so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” (Hebrews 10:25).

Now, I am no engineer! But the principle applies to us all: The easiest thing in the world is to have a complicated life. The hardest thing in the world is to have a simple life. You have to work hard to keep it simple.

You Have to Work Hard to Keep it Simple

The idea of building a monument was not that of Joshua, but of God. God instructed Joshua to have twelve men remove a stone from a prescribed place, place it on their shoulders and bear it up out of Jordan. It was to be taken to their place of lodging. What purpose could possibly be served in carrying twelve large river rocks approximately six or seven miles to Gilgal? God said to! In Joshua, we find that God is a monument builder. 

The Monument Builder

In the Second Boer War in South Africa, 13,000 British troops were trapped for 118 days in what is now known as the Siege of Ladysmith. Food diminished, and disease grew. Worst of all, discouragement set in. A civilian was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year in jail for being a discourager! This man was not a traitor, but he walked around town and spoke discouraging things to men who were on guard against the enemy. The deepest wound you can inflict is to wound a person’s spirit (Proverbs 18:14). Image of the relief of the siege

The Power of Encouragement and the Peril of Discouragement 

In 2 Kings 5, we read a tale of three servants: Naaman, the Little Maid, and Gehazi. No matter your past, you can find healing like Naaman. Regardless of your circumstances, like the maid, God can bless and use you for eternity. Even if you have experienced great victory, you can fall into sin, just like Gehazi.
