Thoughts
on Michael Wells’ teachings in Sidetracked In The Wilderness - # 67
Michael’s book is
available through:
Abiding Life Ministries
International
Littleton, Colorado
Notice: this email is part of a BLOG, called Getting Out of the
Wilderness. Why a blog? So that many can receive the weekly thoughts
I express on Michael’s writings in an easy manner.
Last
week’s writing brought to a conclusion our “study” through SIW. It has been a wonderful journey. It is my heartfelt desire for every Christian
to own and read (more than once!) Sidetracked In The Wilderness. So, today I want to share some thoughts to
move us on to enjoying the Life of Christ in us.
RECAP &
EXHORTATION
Why possess a copy of SIW?
Whether
it be for one’s own personal good, or to have as a resource to share the truths
with others…it is one book that can help defeated Christians to get out of the
wilderness walk, better than most any ever written.
Why read it more than
once?
None
of us get ALL that is in a book from reading it just once. Some books don’t need to be read more
times. SIW will benefit you and I EVERY
time we read it. I have read it several
times, and I get something each time. It’s
like reading the Bible over and over…each time God shows us something that we
didn’t “see” the other times.
Recommend SIW to your
family and friends
Have
you ever noticed the “Suggested Reading” lists that are usually on one of the
last pages of a book (near the back cover)?
Yes…there is one in SIW!
Why? Because it is good to read
as much as we can about something as important as the subject of these
books. Don’t you want your family and
friends to know and apply these truths?
Buy several copies of SIW
and give them to family and friends
We
like to claim “we can’t outgive the Lord.”
Well, try it with this book. See
how many different ways God will bless you…give back to you for your generosity
in giving someone a copy of SIW who could use its truths.
Continue to look for future
emails…
God
is at work moving me into a different phase of ministry. I expect to be writing examples, updates, and
other insights relative to the material Michael Wells has given me and you in Sidetracked
In The Wilderness. Look for future
contact via this resource, although it won’t be on a consistent weekly basis as
for the last 16 months.
Contact me if you like…
I
have always given my mailing address, phone number, and other contact info for
anyone who wants to comment, ask questions, or share life’s experiences with
me. I will still enjoy the communication
as I have from folks all over the world.
Praise the Lord…
for
Betty Wells, Michael’s widow, giving me permission and the opportunity to write
these weekly thoughts and to copy portions of SIW into the writings. My wife, Barbara, and I met Betty the same
time we first met Michael. She is one
sweet Saint! I am grateful for God
having let us meet, know, and even host Michael in one of the churches I
pastored. The various times we went to
see him speak elsewhere, be with him at a retreat, or get to “visit” on the
phone or by email…each was a gift from God to two hearts seeking all the
indwelling Christ could give us. Christ
in us, our hope…Michael brought that to our attention and cultivated it in a
huge way. Well, amen!
