“Reunion” by Steve Martin

REUNION

 

Reunions among families, sports teams, high school and college graduates, band of brothers…these are special times for those involved. The great memories shared, times “relived” of days gone by, even if a bit embellished from the last time you heard that same story retold, all are times we look forward to.

My Martin family reunion set for Labor Day weekend 2026 will be special. Why? Because I am in charge. I have been planning for months to make it so.

I designed a logo for the event, and had it placed on coffee mugs, light blue polo and t-shirts, and have wonderful prizes for games in mind.

Reunions can really be awesome.

The one I am particularly looking forward to though is when the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, returns for those who call upon His Name, and have received His salvation, redemption, which has been offered to all.

This reunion will be the greatest of all. His return, the Lion of Judah, will cause the peoples of the nations to proclaim His Lordship and bow down in worship.

 “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True…” — Revelation 19:11 (KJV)

And it continues in Revelation 19:16-16, “And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses.

From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. 

And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written: “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” (NASB)

As we grow weary of the wrongs being committed before our eyes; the evil put on people, especially the Jews; the injustice proclaimed as “peace and love” by the louder voices…we who know the Lord and Savior are “keeping our eyes on Him, the Author and Finisher of our faith.” Hebrews 12:2

This reunion will be historic, beyond comprehensive.

The Bible is true. Reunion time cometh!

Ahava and Shalom,

Steve Martin

Greetings to all of thee.


I will be missing my 40th high school reunion this year in Waterloo, IA this summer. (Go Columbus High Sailors!!!) We have a BIG Martin family reunion around the same time.

I am sad about not being able to participate. I enjoyed high school and the friends I had there.


So...I got to thinking. If there are any of my connected e-mailers, Bloggers, Twittervillees and/or FaceBookie friends out there, who either went to church with Laurie and I, or were on ministry staffs or worship teams, or are part of the three main ministries we are currently involved with...


We could have a BIG reunion here instead!!


Here are the lists:


1. Victory Church - LaSalle/Peru, IL (1977-1980)

7. Morningstar - Fort Mill, SC (2006-2010)
8. Antioch International Church - Fort Mill, SC (2010 - present)


Or was on staff with me at one (or more) of these ministries:


1. Derek Prince Ministries (Ft. Lauderdale 1987-1990) and Charlotte, NC 2001-2005)
2. Mahesh Chavda Ministries/All Nations Church - Ft. Lauderdale and Charlotte (1987-2000)

"REUNIONIZE" Time!!!


Saturday, August 10, 2013

Time will be from 2-6 pm. 

Pineville Lake Park 
1000 Johnston Dr. 
PinevilleNC28134 

Each family will bring a dish to pass and some cola or water drink. Bring the old kids, young kids, and ones still cookin'. The park provides grills, but bring your own charcoal if needed. Pretend you are going on a picnic so you bring all you would need.

Haul in the grandkids too, so the grandpas can run them down to get in some "off the couch" exercise.

All for the purpose 
of being together,
to have some good, 
old fashion bonding, 
loving, 
fellowshipping time
in His prescense.


Write me back to get on the Reunionize Time update list - martinlighthouse@gmail.com

Shalom y'all,

Steve

- along with my good wife Laurie


P.S. Please pass this onto those who would like to join us but don't communicate through social media or any other modern day technology. (I have to print this out for Laurie!) Or others who need to read a really good blog once in a while.

And if they can't make it, we can Skype them, like we may do with Sandi and Sue Lucas who live in San Antonio!

P.S.S. Enjoy the memory lane photos below! Can you remember who, when and where? You may be tested on these at the gathering, for they have been important, Body-connecting matters.

I may have to bring some copies of my 8,745, that I have just on my FaceBook page alone.

But here are a few...near the beginning...






 

Some of the worship teams over the years...







 

And now up to date...







 

HE IS THE AUTHOR AND THE FINISHER

OF OUR FAITH.

HE IS BRINGING HIS BODY

TOGETHER

FOR HIS ENDTIME PURPOSES!
