IMG_6582-768x601

Many of you have asked in recent days about this year’s Rest Conference. Pastor Scott Hooks and I, along with our wives, love hosting this meeting each September. It is a refreshing time in God’s Word and with many of God’s servants.

Due to the unusual situation this year with COVID-19 restrictions we have decided to make some adjustments to the schedule. We will not be gathering in Hickory, NC as normal. Please note the following:

  • We will be hosting an online conversation on Tuesday, September 8 for pastors, evangelists, and Christian workers. This will be an encouraging few minutes and I hope you will make plans to join us. More details will be sent out soon about how you can be a part.
  • The next Rest Conference will be held Monday-Wednesday, September 6-8, 2021. Please mark your calendar now and make plans to join us.
  • Subscribe to the new Rest podcast to hear helpful sessions from previous Rest Conferences. These messages are being made available free of charge with the prayer that God will use them to encourage many men and women in the Lord’s work.

If you are looking for a conference to attend this fall, we would like to encourage you to attend the Southwide Baptist Fellowship, October 12-14. This year’s Southwide is being held at the Gospel Light Baptist Church in Walkertown, NC and is going to be a very special gathering with an emphasis on prayer.

May God bless each of you as you continue in the work He has called you to do. Please let us know if we can help you in any way.

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” (Galatians 6:9).

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.
