Twenty years ago today my Dad (pictured in the photo, bottom right, with his two older sisters Esther Martin Lyons and Jean Martin Schultz, and his older brother, Bill Martin) went to heaven, after having lymphoma cancer. He would have been 70 three days later.

Mom (Lila Martin Parker) and Dad had moved here in Charlotte, North Carolina just 4 years prior, from Cedar Falls, Iowa, to be with several of the 8 kids who then lived here, and to assist me with the ministry I worked with at the time. Being a "do-whatever-it-takes" kind of guy, and knowing much of the construction and electrical trade, he was quite the one to have around.

I remember one specific time when he and I took out the horse barn doors in that barn to make the place into a House of the Lord at All Nations Church in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Also the time he worked on the Heritage USA amphitheater in Fort Mill, South Carolina, upgrading the electrical wiring, so the show could go on - "The Passion Play." (That same piece of ground is just a few hundred yards where I now work at Antioch International Church.)

Dad was a hard worker, often more than 60 hours a week with his maintenance job at Viking Pump Foundry in Cedar Falls, and his own electrical business called Martin Electrical Services. He would rewire churches at no cost to them.

He did not say a whole lot. Most often what he did was enough to show his concerns for being responsible, diligent, and providing for his family - Mom and the 8 kids.

I know Dad is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ now. He professed faith in the Lord after a Bill Gaither Trio concert. Maybe he did before he reached 50, but at least at that time, it was for certain.

Thank you, Lord, for my Dad. He was a true example to me!

With my love,

Steve

"Are you aware?" - Now Think On This message by Steve Martin Love For His People, Inc

July 18, 2019

Greetings friends of Love For His People ministry.

Are you aware, that with so much upheaval and tension in the nation(s) that the Lord is on the move, good things are coming, and we can have peace and rest in Him? True.

In my last update, I included a recent message entitled, Now Think On This, "Been Offended?". I guess we all have, for it was among the most read ever. If you missed it, or need to re-read it again, given what may have happened since then, go ahead.

And before your coming days are all booked up, below are two events I think you might want to know about if you are in the Charlotte, North Carolina, and Rock Hill, South Carolina areas. (Hint: Paul Wilbur concert. Free registration! Yeah!) You might even consider doing some traveling.

Fast-moving summer. 'Tis the times we are living in...

Ahava and shalom,

Steve Martin

P.S. We were delighted with the turnout on July 5, 2019, for the Strength For Israel gathering at Antioch International Church in Fort Mill, SC. Here is info on the next one, August 2, 2019: Strength For Israel. We will also have a friend from Israel come greet us.

Now Think On This

Been Offended?

"A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city, and contentions are like the bars of a castle.” Proverbs 18:19, NKJV

It happened again. Just after we finished the worship team practice for the Sunday morning gathering. An offense sent my way. Just great.

And it happened then, on the Friday before, a few hours before we were to meet for the first time in The Barn for the monthly Strength For Israel gathering, with me leading the worship team, I got offended.

(Read the rest: Been Offended?)

You coming? Look here: Paul Wilbur is coming back to Antioch International Church, with full concert! Hosted by Peter Wyns and Christians For Messiah Ministries. Also conference with Michael Brown and Rick Joyner.

What Say You?

by Steve Martin

What say you about where you stand in God's plan?

Are you fitting in? Do you care? Are you where you think you are, or where you think you should be?

These messages have been written to bring you encouragement, some further insight, and to help you get to where you, and He, wants you to be in the Body of Christ.

The Lord is putting His people together - both in Israel with the Jews making aliyah and with believers around the world finding out their place and purpose in congregations.

What Say You? offers inspiration on how we can then live and move in this life, to cause godly effect and actually, cause something positive to happen or bring about in our lives, our families, our cities, our workplaces, and our country.

May you be about His business, as He directs you in your going.

P.S. Thanks Ben Martin for the great new cover!
