# FROM THE EDITOR FROM THE EDITOR Language: en Original issue: The Heartbeat of The Remnant, Spring 2019, Number 1 Source pages: 3 Read article: Original PDF: Spring\-2019\-Remnant\.pdf [The Heartbeat of The Remnant, Spring 2019]() ![]() The cold, grey days of winter are being transformed into the warm, sunny days of spring\. The first flowers of the year are persistently pushing their way up out of the cold earth towards the warmth of the sun\. It never seems to get old—this exciting feeling in the springtime air\. There’s the warmth and light of sunny days\. There’s the cheery, lilting music of the song birds as they once more take up housekeeping with seemingly boundless energy\. And we are again blessed with another season to plant seeds with the expectation of another crop of food to enjoy\. This year I will turn 48 years of age\. My how that sounds old to me\. I remember that as a youth I thought that folks who were 50 were old\. Now I am almost there\. For me, this is a clear reminder that we all are getting older and that we will not live forever\. Next, comes a number of sobering thoughts: “What have I done for the furtherance of God’s Kingdom? Am I remaining faithful to Him in all that I do? Lord, what wilt thou have me to do—this year?” Let’s, each one, prayerfully seek the Lord about His present and future will for our lives\. Let’s encourage and exhort each other to remain faithful in relationship with, and in service for, our Master\. In this issue we have an excellent article on marriage, which we felt can take the place of an article on Discipleship this time\. When we meet with couples who have struggled with extreme marriage problems for years, we usually find that something is not working in a godly way at a foundational level\. We feel that this marriage article is quite thorough in its evaluation of building and maintaining a Biblical foundation\. Lord willing, we plan to have ongoing articles relating to this subject\. We are scheduled to share a series of meetings in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, this coming July\. Several churches in that area are working together to facilitate this event and have reserved the **Fairview Reception Center**\. Please pray for these meetings for the following: that God’s will would be accomplished; that God would guide the speakers as they prepare; and that God would strengthen the church through this effort\. Please pass this on to others who may be interested\. Also, mark your calendar to save the date\. If you wish to receive updated information once all details are finalized, please contact “The Berean Voice” by phone at \(330\) 439\-9547 or by email at subscribe@bereanvoice\.org\.
