It’s hard to believe that 2010 is 25% gone already, but the calendar doesn’t seem to be lying in this case. I hope that even though the time is flying by, you’ve been enjoying the Beacon so far this year, and that in our own small way, we’ve been able to edify and encourage you in your walk with the Lord.<\/p>\n

There’s not a whole lot to say this month, except for two announcements:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The first announcement is that with today’s post by Kyle, we have completed our tour of the ministries at LBC. However, don’t worry because we’re going to loop back around and get updates from them again. However, rather than focusing on just what they do, this time we’re going to try to give you a more personal or specific glimpse into each one. That may mean photographs, interviews, reports, or something else entirely. It’s always an adventure around here. So keep an eye out for those beginning on April 8th.<\/li>\n
  2. The second announcement is that in keeping with Pastor John’s exhortation<\/a> and John Piper’s recommendation<\/a>, we are going to begin a new series here at the Beacon. The plan is that starting this Saturday, and running indefinitely, we will post a brief devotional by Spurgeon. I realize that such materials are freely and abundantly available (TeamPyro has their version<\/a>, GTY has three RSS feeds for Daily Readings from the Life of Christ<\/a>, Drawing Near<\/a>, and Strength for Today<\/a>, and there are a ton of non-devotional reading plans as well)<\/a>. However, not everyone avails themselves to those materials, and out-of-sight-out-of-mind can and does nip at the heels of all but the most disciplined of us. We may just be another trickle in a much larger stream, but God speaks very clearly about the need to dwell on His word (Jeremiah 17:5-8).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Plus, Spurgeon is awesome.<\/p>\n

    ps. For the GTY links, you may need to copy\/paste the link into your favorite RSS reader to make them work.<\/p>\n
