ing for where God is at work and joining Him in His work. I believe that any difference that my life has made in the Kingdom as been centered around this biblical principle (Jn. 5:17). I owe this truth to God speaking through Henry Blackaby in his writing of Experiencing God. Experiencing God has been pivotal in my life and ministry. If we as church planters aren't looking for the activity of God we will find ourselves searching in an arena of selfishness and carnality. I would ask this question of you; "is what you are doing centered around the activity of God?" If it is not, then stop doing what you are doing and join God in where He is working around you. I'm confident that at the end of life we would rather be known as a people/planter that was constantly seeking and serving in the arena of God's activity. Where is this activity? Only God can show you. You have to spend time with Him so that you understand His desires, when you understand His desires you will see His activity. So, don't waste time today or next week doing the same old things, choose to get on your face and cry out to see God's activity. Listen, watch, and wait. If you do this God will show something amazing that you haven't yet seen or experienced with Him. Yes, there are some things are tried and true. And, one of them is that God is at work and He is wanting you to see His activity so that you can join Him in that work. If we'll do that, just imagine what great things will happen around us as we respond to Him. My prayer is that you'll make up your mind to chase after the heart, desires, and the activity of God. If you do this, the Bible promises you that you will be blessed. Have a great weekend!

Some things are tried and true
I've just returned from a 2 1/2 week adventure working with our partners in North Carolina. What a blessing and a God send they have been. During this time I had a lot of time to reflect on the things that matter most to God. As I looked back over my experiences and adventures I remember the single most significant thing that mattered the most; search
