Moving to Kentucky! Oh, the irony. Who says
God doesn't have a sense of humor? After all that good stuff in my previous blog about why we are
called WV Living Stone Ministries - WVLSM - and we are moving. To Kentucky. My new Kentucky home. Gotta love it.
So what do we do? Rename the ministry KYLSM? Expensive
and problematic changing websites and all the promotional items; not good
stewardship, either. And now that people are getting to know us WVLSM, we don't want to frustrate everybody, ourselves included, by changing the online address. I just got good at typing www.wvlivingstone.com! Sooooooo, how
do we move forward?
Clarifying question: Where does God send us to share the Gospel? The epicenter of the primitive church was Jerusalem, but in Acts 1:8 the Lord Jesus Christ makes it clear that the ripples of the Gospel of grace would expand in ever-widening fluid circles to all Judea, Samaria, and ultimately to the ends of the earth. Within one generation the Gospel had already spread from Jerusalem as far as Spain, North Africa, and Asia. So why not from Beckley, to Raleigh County, to Charleston, and to the ends of the earth? Including Kentucky! White harvest fields exist everywhere, and that is where the Holy Spirit sends us.
Fruitless and frustrating arguments often end with "What evah", said with attitude and an eye roll. I gave up arguing with God long ago. Just as He sent Israel from place to place by moving the pillar of fire and cloud, He has signaled for us to move on, too. Vocational reassignment does not mean failure, it just means new fields. So instead of "what evah" I am saying "Where eVah", because wherever God sends me, that's where I go. Where eVah Living Stone Ministries; I like the sound of that. WVLSM, Where eVah God sends me. Traveling to other states is nothing new; we've been all over the map. Where eVah there is a call to share the Gospel. Now home base will be my new Kentucky home, but the Gospel, well, that never changes.
