“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Give it to Jesus, our Good Shepherd and strong Savior. Trust Him to guide you, give you peace and strength, and to get you through.

VerseD: Psalm 27:14

Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!

Wait for Him. Dwell in Him. Be strong in the Lord who saves.

A Quick Update (amid C-19)

Hello, world

If you are reading, firstly, thanks for reading my blog! Seriously. I appreciate it greatly.

Secondly, our church elders had a meeting this fine Monday evening to discuss how we are responding to this little crisis. It looks like we will be attempting a digital church service. The details are not completely ironed out, yet, but we are close.

But all of this has got me thinking about this platform, so I had an idea:

On top of what The Church Next Door is doing, I was also planning on creating video lessons for my youth and possibly for our childrens ministry. I will probably be sharing the youth lessons through the YouTube channel. My idea, though, was to ask my readers if there was any interest in short recorded sermons that I could upload here (via YouTube, probably) for those stuck at home at this time (and, by natural extension, for any time in the future).

So, world on the internet reading this blog, are you interested?

If so, leave a comment. Or send over an e-mail to Together@asimplemanofgod.com letting me know or with suggestions.

This is also a good time to remind you that if you have any questions, prayer requests, or other needs, you can e-mail those, too. You can also follow a simple man of God on Facebook to get the updates from here and whatever I write on Proverbial Thought.

No matter what, though, “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.” (Ephesians 6:10, ESV)
