The Jews are lost and in need of their Messiah. The Gentiles are lost and in need of the Gospel. The Church is floundering and in need of genuine revival. So, we row WITH and NOT AGAINST the tides of ministry, and we take what the LORD in his sovereign Providence chooses to give to us, even it is a long walk up OL’ MAN RIVER or a quick jaunt down to OL’ MAMA LAKE. If you, dear brethren, will endeavor to do the same, you will find peace amidst the chaos. And soon, our Bridegroom will come for us in the clouds!

There it is, the Murphy 563 sign to the Manteo 563 sign via an unbroken walking route more than double the 563 miles! And not even a hostile encounter and it’s empty threats, a real jerk who responded to kindness with vitriol (a form of what the Bible calls “without natural affection” in the last days—2 Timothy 3:3), were going to stop us. I was born in the Old North State. I have lived in the Old North State State most of my life. Now, I can say with my children: “We’ve HOOFED it, preaching Christ all along the way!”

If you familiarize yourself with the geography in Acts 16:6-10, you’ll see that Paul wandered about over a lot of miles in Asia Minor, waiting for direction from the LORD. He tried to go places but was “forbidden of the Holy Ghost” (16:6) and “the Spirit suffered them not” (16:7) He finally ended up in Troas where Luke joined up with him (note the change from “they” in verse 8 to “us” in verse 10) and where he got the notable Macedonian Call. His plans were changed multiple times, but it all redounded to the glory of God and an incredible work of the Great Commission.
