On Purpose! July 5, 2024

On purpose is a beautifully illustrated book that teaches the truth of Creation, identity, and divine purpose for every boy and girl.

On Purpose!

These are days of immense confusion in our culture because sin always brings disorder! One of the most devastating consequences of this confusion is its residual effect on the next generation. The ripple effect of error has created a tidal wave of destruction.
Children are now growing up in a world that questions gender and loses its identity. When you don’t know who God is you forget who you are. Only the Word of God can cut through this chaos and bring clarity. As a father of three, and now a Papa, I am deeply burdened about the world view that now inundates our young people. In an age of indoctrination we must have a renewed emphasis on sound Bible doctrine.
This teaching must begin at home, and it must begin with children in the formative years. Truth matters and one must lay the foundation early in life.

For this reason, we are happy to begin releasing through ETJ a series of Little Steps books for young children. The first of these books, On Purpose, was written by my sister, Stacie Thomas. Stacie has served alongside her husband Ty for many years in church ministry and Christian education. She is not only a dedicated wife and mother and long time school teacher, but also a lifelong student of Scripture. Her beautifully illustrated book teaches the truth of both Creation and identity, and the divine purpose for every boy and girl.

This full-color, hard back book is complete with corresponding Scripture verses for each page and helps for parents and children’s workers. In essence, we believe it will be a wonderful resource to point preschool and elementary children to the foundational truths of God’s Word.

You may order On Purpose for your family, church, or school at enjoyingthejourney.org/product/on-purpose/. Bulk pricing is available. It is our prayer that God would use this tool to help advance His truth to another generation of children.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well” (Psalm 139:14).

M’Cheyne’s Bible Reading Plan Each year I adopt some plan for my daily devotional reading of Scripture. To be honest, I try to vary this a little each year to keep it fresh. Over the last year, I have been using a plan that Robert Murray M’Cheyne developed for the people that he pastored. It is helpful for several reasons: It leads you through the Old Testament once and the New Testament and Psalms twice during the year. It gives a variety of Scripture passages to read each day - historical, prophetical, and devotional. It divides the readings into readings for the morning and for the evening. It promotes a reading for private devotions and one for family devotions. It encourages the church family to read through the Bible together. M’Cheyne’s heart was to strengthen families and the church family, while deepening the personal devotion of each Christian. I can tell you from personal experience, that it has been a delight to follow. (Read M'Cheyne's full introduction to his system HERE).  We have decided to make M’Cheyne’s plan available through Enjoying the Journey this year, with the prayer that God will use it to lead all of us to a life full of the Word in the days ahead.
