    Trish Jenkins – Christian Author

    We are very excited about several Christian Authors joining our Christian Social Witness as a place to share their stories, books, reviews of other authors and insight on scripture.

    Trish Jenkins has a compelling story.  Her book, “Treasures of Darkness” encourages us to maintain our relationship with God in every environment.

    Trish did.  Her faith had to overcome prison.

    Welcome, Trish.

  • Do you believe Jesus? – I doubt it.

    Do you believe Jesus? – I doubt it.

    Do you despise God?  Do you always believe Jesus? I doubt it? 

    Numbers 14:11 And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, in spite of all the signs that I have done among them? (ESV)

    Spurgeon asks: Do you add weight to Jesus’ crown of thorns?

    I probably do all too often. (Forgive us, Lord.)

    What more convicting words do we hear than some from God through Moses, the Prophets, the letter writers of the New Testament and especially Jesus:

    O you of little faith…

    Oh, foolish Galatians…

    You who are so slow to believe…

    Of course you doubt your Bible. You probably need to read your Bible more and pray about what you have read. I do.

    Charles Spurgeon’s daily devotional ‘Morning and Evening’ urged faithful followers to do just that.

    My thanks to Truth For Life and the broadcast ministry of Alistair Begg for use of Spurgeon’s devotional message to help me talk of Jesus this morning.

    10 Disciplines of a Godly Man

    Are you a Godly man? (Or Godly woman, is your discipline and witness strong enough to SHARE and encourage your husband or the men in your life: sons, friends, co-workers, brothers saved and unsaved?) This book will help.

    Let’s start with this: 1 Timothy 4:  Instead, train yourself to be godly. 8 “Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”

    10 Disciplines of a Godly Man – (link has a brief audio file where you can listen to a sample from the book)

    Our Men’s Bible study is taking a look at this tool for our faith.  I can recommend it to you not only because we are examining the principles & scriptures, but also knowing the author, Kent Hughes, is one of the godly leading men  of my daughter’s church, College Church in Wheaton IL.

    READ: your Bible. DAILY.
