In this, the times of autumn, in which the seasons become darker and rainy, it can become increasingly hard to be a minister of the gospel on the usual Wednesday evenings. With the time constraints of work for us all and for myself explicitly, the demands of the season make it increasingly hard to schedule my evenings for outreach. Yet, I am without excuse if I am not a minister for the gospel. This begs the question for each and every one of us as to what this means in our own lives.

1. Are witnessing the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, in all facets and elements of our lives? Is Christ glorified in our workplace? At our homes? In our relationships?
2. Do I hunger for the gospel?
3. Does Gods word govern my life?
4. Do I grieve over sin?
5. How quickly do I repent when I see my wrongs?
6. Am I sensitive to the Spirits prompt in me?
7. Do I obey?
8. Is my faith growing?

You may notice similarities(Plagerism) :) to our summer series at church. I write this because of how greatly they all apply to our whole walk with Christ.

• I am sorrowful when our ministry team cannot be together, however my witness and testimony for Christ should not be hampered by this. We are a people set apart for the gospel and therefore let us rejoice in our salvation and tell the world of Gods grace and mercies.

All this to say, I and others were unable to attend last nights ministry outreach. The Lord is strong in the hearts of His people and His light is bright amongst His elect. We can look at these setbacks and be grieved over our failure to meet the call of the ministry but I am saying let us rejoice and take joy in Christ. He is most glorified in us when we are satisfied in Him(John Piper)

Keep pushing forward in the gospel and may everyday be a gospel outreach for all the workers in Christ. I thank God for my Summit Harvest brothers and sisters! And for all the brethren in the gospel ministry.
