It is with great sadness mixed with joy that we said goodbye to our brother Forrest Henson on Friday. He was a good friend and an active board member for BiblicalTraining.org. I have never seen anyone who lived his life so totally for the sake of Jesus, his kingdom, and the downtrodden in Houston, India, and Africa. Our administrator, Rebekah, wrote this tribute:
"I will miss Forrest greatly. I really believe “well done my good and faithful servant” is how he was greeted by his Savior. His empathy for those in physical and spiritual need has always been something that reflected God’s image. Whether it was helping people in his Houston church rebuild after Hurricane Harvey or his urgency about sharing God’s Word with people in India and his concern for the spiritual growth of Indian pastors, he was someone I was excited to talk about with my daughters and husband. He will be tremendously missed by many. His wife Anne, the rest of his family, and his friends remain in our prayers. My life has been deeply enriched by having known and worked with Forrest Henson Jr. I look forward to seeing him again."

The Disciples' Model Prayer
Does your prayer begin with a focus on God's attributes: his kingship, his holiness, his power? Is your prayer sincere or just rote memorization? Jesus himself modeled prayer for the disciples in Matthew 18:9-10.

I am the Apex of Creation! (2 of 52)
How do you measure your worth? Is your dignity based on what you do? And do you judge other people based on what they do, and not who they are? The sixth day of creation shows us that we are uniquely made in the image of God, and our worth, our dignity, does not come from what we do but who God has made us to be.
