As I read about Jehoiada and Joash today in 2 Kings 12 and 2 Chronicles 24, I thought about an important lesson they showed us. The High Priest was full of faith, but lacking in business sense. The King was just the opposite. As long as they worked together, they accomplished much. When that partnership no longer existed, everything fell apart. I am grateful to the many wise (and godly) business people who have helped protect our church over the year. As we have grown, we have been able to hire some of them and they have helped save us from many mistakes.

CLIMBING COMPANIONS 2012
I am grateful that I have read the Bible through every year for over 25 years. Each journey is a new adventure that uncovers new treasures. I hope you will take this journey with me. We are reading the One Year Bible Plan for this year. Each day will include a passage from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs.
I have found the plan to be available on YouVersion.com. One great thing about their program is that you can sign up, download their app for your smartphone and read directly from there. If you prefer, they will email each day's readings. We will once again use the New Living Translation for our reading. I chose it because it is fairly easy to read and understand as well as quite accurate.
During the earthly journey of Jesus, he asked people to join him. Those who payed the price of leaving their old life behind got to know Him far better than those who kept their distance. One example of this is...
When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds, he climbed a hillside. Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed, climbed with him. Arriving at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his climbing companions. (Matthew 5:1-2 The Message)
I am inviting those who attend Stone Ridge Church in Yuma, Arizona, USA, along with our friends and family from around the world to become one of Jesus' "Climbing Companions." You can come back here each day to make your comments, ask questions and received encouragement on your journey.
