How many times does it seem like things start going sideways when you are doing work for the Lord? Maybe you get involved at church or doing ministry work of some kind, and things start falling apart at home or on the job.

Are you hearing clearly? Do you know what we are here for? Do you need a Q-tip? Too much sin buildup in there that needs to be taken out? Too much "love of the world" that needs to be dissolved so you can hear the Lord correctly? We live in great times to witness. Great times to be bold. Great times to stand out from the crowd. Time to be great....

One of the newsletters I subscribe to is from Way of Life Literature by David Cloud at www.wayoflife.org.  He recently sent out this news item that I read and found interesting: “YOU CAN READ 200 BOOKS A YEAR - I am constantly urging God's people in Bible-believing churches to read more.
