Colossians 3:23 CSB Whatever you do, do it from the heart for the Lord and not for people.
Dear Friends,
I hope you see my writing and speaking as done for our Jesus. Every word, every idea poured out in praise to God. All put forward in hope that even one word, one idea might encourage folks deep in the soil of their souls.
Thank you, all of you, who pray for opportunities for speaking and writing for me. Thank you, all of you, who pray for the strength and courage to be faithful with such opportunities. And please keep on with your prayers! I’m so grateful for you.**
This verse is what I’m trying to live out every day: But seek first [God’s] kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be provided to you (Matthew 6:33 NASB). Thanks be to God! He is faithful to each and every one of His promises all the time!
Prayer is definitely the most important way you can help me (or anyone, for that matter.) I think your prayers are the reason why my blog has been read in over 50 countries; shared to organizations not normally associated with faith; and used in non-faith-based institutions. Plus, the data indicates similar trends with my books.
I don’t deserve any of the credit for any of this. Yet, God keeps allowing me to participate in His working for truth to be spoken in love to more and more folks (see Ephesians 4:15). Please be praying I will always delight in David’s mindset of God as seen Psalm 8:3-4 NIV When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
Again, thank you for praying!
And for those who’ve asked for other ways to help than prayer or buying my books, here’s a few:
- If you have bought any of my books on Amazon or elsewhere online, could you please go to the site and leave reviews and/or comments there?
- Could you please comment on this post (or any others) and like and share this post with others?
- If you’ve seen posts from me on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn, could you please comment and share them?
- Post about the books and blog and upcoming speaking events on your social media platforms and tag me in your posts. It’s amazing how much even one person’s posts can make a difference in making folks aware of the books, blog, and speaking events.
Please don’t feel obliged to do any, much less all, of those suggestions. Again, your prayers are the vital and the true work.
In case you didn’t know, both of my publishers use their monies and influence towards helping faith-based organizations striving to bring God’s Word to more and more folks all over the world. As you purchase books from them, you are making a difference to push back against the darkness trying its’ best to suppress the Light and Life of our eternal hope of glory, our Jesus. Both Northeastern Baptist Press and Abundance Books Publishing have a lot of great books by a bunch of great authors. Their books would make great gifts for friends and family and additions to your library, too!
May our Good God grace your life today with a deep planted mustard-seed faith to know and believe He is Good and what He does is good, even if your life might not look good to you or to others today (see Psalm chapter 119). If we will remain faithful, He will bring good to and for us (see Romans 8:28).
your friend,
Beth
**Thank you, Mrs. Edna Barnette and all who came out last night for the 2026 Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Survivors Banquet in Selmer, TN! It was truly joy to share in studying Scripture together and rejoicing in the truth that there’s always hope because there’s always Jesus. Your singing, your smiling, your hugging, and your encouragement were truly a delight of my heart! I can’t wait until next year’s banquet!
