Purpose for this blog

This blog was created to share how the CD, "Moments with the Master" has been used.

Moments with the Master, Days 1 through 7, is a devotional CD prepared with the following daily format:
- a theme or a title for each day's meditation
- the theme is introduced
- an Old Testament text from the Bible on that day's theme is read
- a New Testament text from the Bible on that day's theme is read
- a hymn (an old time favorite, or a classic hymn) is introduced
- the hymn is sung

The "Moments with the Master" CD was created a month prior to the author's surgery for prostate cancer. It was originally created as a personal "Thank You" to the medical staff who participated in trying to save his life. Gradually, other people who had contact with the author were also given the CD.

Three of the seven days' meditations tell about our need of a personal Savior to save us from the penalty for our sin. Four of the seven days' meditations are to bring encouragement to the believer, to one who has accepted Jesus Christ as his or her own personal Savior.

If you have received the CD, "Moments with the Master", feel free to share how the message of the Word of God has helped you and / or how you have used the CD as a ministry to help others.
