No Greater Joy
May 6, 2016
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
3 John 1:4
Bob and Evon Potter were a fun-loving couple with three young sons when their life took a wonderful new direction. In 1956 they attended a Billy Graham Crusade in Oklahoma City and gave their lives to Christ. Before long, they wanted to reach out to others to share their faith and the truth about Christ, so they opened their home every Saturday night to high school and college students who had a desire to study the Bible. A friend invited me and I became a regular at the Potters house.
This was a serious Bible study that included lesson preparation and memorizing Scripture. Surrounded by an atmosphere of friendship, joy, and laughter, we challenged each other and the Lord changed our lives during those days.
I stayed in touch with the Potters over the years and received many cards and letters from Bob who always signed them with these words: I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth (3 John 1:4). Like John writing to his dear friend Gaius (v. 1), Bob encouraged everyone who crossed his path to keep walking with the Lord.
A few years ago I attended Bobs memorial service. It was a joyful occasion filled with people still walking the road of faithall because of a young couple who opened their home and their hearts to help others find the Lord.
Thank You, Lord, for the people who have encouraged me to keep walking in Your truth. May I honor them by helping someone along that road today.
Be a voice of encouragement to someone today.
Todays reading is taken from the apostle Johns final letter, written near the end of his life. John is the only one of the twelve apostles who was not martyred for his faith. However, according to tradition John was tortured and later exiled on the Island of Patmos. John kept in touch with those congregations he had nurtured earlier in his ministry. He wisely understood that health can be experienced in mind, body, and soul and so includes this in his prayer (v. 2). His word choice is kind and relational. He writes that his highest joy in ministry is to hear how those he has ministered to are moving on in their faith in Christ (v. 3).

Yup, I'm back home now but had a good time dog-sitting, they're good dogs for the most part.
I just did a bit of clothes shopping today and am now relaxing and enjoying cooler weather.
What's new your way?

My Salvation Arny Nurse, Aunt Nancy, worked here http://www.nailhed.com/2014/05/the-salvation-booth.html,
A Methodist named William Booth founded the Salvation Army in London to win the masses of the poor and the sinful to the side of Christ by succoring and ministering to them. He brought the movement to the United States in 1880, and hence many of their hospitals were named for him, such as the Booth Memorial Home and Hospital of the Salvation Army at 130 W. Grand Boulevard. So this hospital was in fact not named after the prominent Detroiter George Gough Booth, as I had originally thought.
It started as a 20-bed maternity hospital for unwed mothers who could not afford the cost of a regular hospital stay. Regular hospitals also often turned away such women in those days. When Chad and I briefly checked it out in early 2006 it had been closed for some time, and it was demolished soon after. Today it is a blank gravel lot.
Shes now gone too.
