Light In The Dark Continent: Moffat | Assigned to Africa

Through the course of life, the most insignificant events can determine great change. Robert Moffat was living and working in High Leigh. He would, from time to time make the trip from High Leigh to Warrington, which was about six miles away. The evening was beautiful and calm. As he rode in the way, Moffat's mind began to be consumed by thoughts of his God. He would notice the Lord's handiwork and how the heavens declare his glory. Moffat began to reflect on how the days of his youth had been evil. He understood his service to the world had been a severe waste of time that now needed to be faithfully redeemed. Moffat thought I must now serve him who died for me before now my life has had no purpose. But these thoughts were followed by ideas of impossibility. He thought, what little could I do? Saddened by the time wasted, Moffat found great pleasure in contemplating the future, a future dedicated to Christ.

Pornography | The Butterfly Effect

We have certainly come to live in a strange world. Rap artist with misogynistic lyrics, Rock Stars with perverted music, and movie stars with depraved lifestyles set themselves up as moral authorities. It is no surprise then how widely accepted pornography has become. But, I wonder if the consumers of such lewd media of the baser sort have considered all that comes along with this perverted private sinful pleasure.

I have to warn you ahead of time, this will not be pleasant. While I have kept the language clean and certainly acceptable to today's standards by far, we will discuss some horrendous ideas, as such, adults should consider listening first before allowing children to hear this discourse.

Pornography is not only legal but highly unregulated. I don't say that assuming more regulation would solve the problem, but rather I find it odd very little has been done to curb this issue. Like alcohol, too many high powered players are participants and therefore unwilling to check their drug of choice. Recent Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders is well known for his twisted perverted writings of sexual revolutions and rape fantasies. But Porn, a disgusting word to even mention, is harmful in ways drugs and alcohol have not. My intent with this first episode on the subject is to help consumers of pornography fully understand the world in which they have involved themselves. Pleasure seeking participants have, maybe unknowingly, helped enable what may be one of the world's most evil industries.

Light In The Dark Continent | Two Worlds

Two very different worlds will soon collide. The ensuing violence of the Bushmen and the Dutch settlers, the exchange in governmental powers between the Dutch and the English. Chaos in South Africa, where the kingdoms of this world take counsel together and violently maneuver for power. Contrasted with the simple life of a diligent gardener. God would have these two worlds to cross paths, the result would be miraculous.

I made a feeble attempt to write a song based on a series of events that took place in or near Bethany in the Bible. I then took the words and passed them off to my friend Emma Strand. It turns out, as I suspected, she is unbelievably talented and she has the voice of an angel. I pray this song will be a blessing and encouragement. 

O' Bethany:

Sung by: Emma Strand

Written By: Thomas Irvin 

O Bethany, O Bethany, what works we did see

His weeping voice gave great command “Lazarus come forth”

He that was dead came forth alive, many did believe

O Bethany O Bethany what works we did see

The alabaster box it broke. What humility

Anoint his head and then his feet, how precious is He

O Bethany O Bethany what works we did see

See ye not, all these things of the temple built

Verily thrown down they will be, not one stone left

O Bethany O Bethany what works we did see

Lord tell us please, privately, the sign of thy coming

And what shall be the end of the world that we see

O Bethany O Bethany what works we did see

The Lord commands take ye heed, be not deceived

For many false Christ shall come, only to mislead

O Bethany O Bethany what works we did see

O behold we go up to Jerusalem

The son of man he shall be, delivered and condemned

Oh Gethsemane oh Gethsemane what sorrow we did see

Oh my soul exceedingly sorrowed unto death

Father not as I will, only thy will be done

O Bethany O Bethany what victory we see

The risen Lord he led them, as far as Bethany

He parted there leaving them carried into heaven

O Bethany O Bethany why gaze ye into heav’n

This same Jesus taking up, ascending into heaven

Shall so come in like manner, even so, Lord come

O Bethany O Bethany what works we did see

Joshua Shepherd serves the Lord at a Christian radio station in Kentucky. He uses time on the radio program to encourage God's people to lift up their eyes and look upon the fields. Missions Moment is a foundational aspect of the radio program. It is also posted online in a Facebook group. The purpose of this group is to pray for the World and that the Lord would raise up laborers. Brother Joshua will post a Missions Moment every weekday that details certain pertinent information regarding some needy part of the world. More information can be found in the links below.

2. I noticed on the Missions Moment webpage, you emphasize the KJV, what has the King James Bible meant to your life and ministry?

6. What is your purpose for doing this?
7. What do you hope will come of it?
8. I really enjoy seeing the overlays you add which give us some insight as to the physical size of a country in reference to the United States. During the span of time you have been doing this, have you noticed any role that geography plays in American's willingness to surrender to missions?
9. Have you learned anything new about specific cultures that interest you more than others?
10. Missions Moment often connects missionaries online to their respective fields, have you been able to establish relationships with missionaries around the world through this medium?

18. This radio station is a ministry of Island Ford Baptist Church in Madisonville, Kentucky - what role if any do you hold there at the church?
19. The station website strongly promotes its conservative values, in a day when many churches are quickly heading in liberal contemporary directions, why is it important that you hold firm traditional biblical standards?
20. Would you tell people where they can find Missions Moment and where they can listen to your radio station?
