I love the line from a country song \u2013 \u201cThe road goes on forever and the party never ends.\u201d In spite of the not-so-spiritual story included in the song\u2019s lyrics, I\u2019ve long wanted to make that line biblical. It finally happened this week. Early in the public ministry of Jesus, he attended a wedding feast in Cana of Galilee. The host ran out of wine. I guess even back then, you never knew how many friends you had until your daughter got married. Nevertheless, the party was over whether the fat lady had sung or not. No more wine, no more party. Then Jesus took water and miraculously turned it into wine (John 2:1-11). I\u2019ve preached all over that miracle story, but never realized that what Jesus actually did was keep the party going. Next time you\u2019re having fun at a Jesus party, rejoice. That road goes on forever and that party never ends.<\/p>\n
Join me in praying for these global concerns:
\n\u2022 Vacation Bible Schools (by any other name, still VBS) being held all over the world this summer.
\n\u2022 Pray for the upcoming 2010 Olympic ministry evangelism training sessions with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association of Canada.
\n\u2022 Pray for the eight couples and one single person currently raising support to go Vancouver, Canada to do church planting.
\n\u2022 Pray for missionary personnel from Central & Eastern Europe as they gather this week for their annual meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
