“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.” - Matthew 10: 32-33 (NKJV) I’ve been thinking a lot about compromise lately. When we should, and when we shouldn’t. Thousands of government and supporting workers are back on the job because a Virginia politician compromised. He now faces backlash from his own party. Thousands of marriages have been saved because husbands and wives have compromised. Others will fail because one or both spouses choose not to. More prisoners of war returned. More ceasefires on and off. Even more cars and houses sold, all because of compromise. In a few weeks, pundits, preachers and messengers at the Southern Baptist Convention will, once again, undoubtedly contest the roles of women in ministry. Some will suggest compromise, while others will choose conviction over compromise. Undoubtedly, more Southern Baptist churches will leave or be asked to leave the denomination. Almost daily, each of us makes a decision about compromise. Recently, I sat by the hospital bed of someone in hospice care. I walked her through the plan of salvation to affirm and/or encourage her faith in God, and trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior. Shortly after she passed, a relative reached out to me about the funeral I’d been asked by the departed to officiate. “We don’t want this to be a church service, they instructed, “so please limit ‘the religious stuff’ to a prayer and a reading from the Psalms you mentioned at the hospital.” I politely informed them that, I needed to honor not only the person, but also God. I let them know that, in order to do that, I felt it was important to let everyone know that God had, in her words “restored her soul” as the Psalmist wrote. My hope, I explained, was that others would have the same peace as the departed, knowing she was now in a place where the Bible promises God “will wipe every tear, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.” I offered to step aside, if that wasn’t acceptable, and they quickly took me up on it. This saddened me greatly. Although it would have required me to drive several hours as well as prepare for the service, I was looking forward to honoring this lovely woman and sharing the Gospel. I have come to realize, that the love of Jesus is not always received lovingly. What I do know is Jesus is very specific about compromise. We are to acknowledge Him before men. We are to do it, in both our words and actions, and more often than not, our actions speak louder than our words. My prayer is that the Holy Spirit gives us the discernment to know the difference between our passions and preferences, and His plan, for our lives, our church, and the lost. No compromise.

"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith." —Galatians 6:9-10 (NIV) This past weekend, so many good things were going on. A celebration service and reception were given for a pastor, who is retiring after 28 years of faithful shepherding. A patriotic ceremony and reception honored another pastor who retired from military service after 20 plus years as a Navy chaplain. Tribal leaders and citizens from our Native American churches participated in a historic 250th anniversary celebration of our nation centered on the history and enduring sovereignty of Virginia’s Tribal Nations. One of our Dover churches had a fish fry and “note burning” to celebrate financial freedom as they paid off the church’s addition. Pastor anniversaries were celebrated, concerts and a women’s conference were hosted, and a few churches held Sabbath after a busy Saturday of community service and outreach. The Dover Baptist Association also had its Semi-Annual Meeting of church leaders and Messengers. A wonderful presentation was given by the host church, which is celebrating its 250th anniversary. Great food and refreshments were provided. Reports were given about God’s faithfulness. A matching church challenge of $1,776 was issued to kick off our Watson Mission emphasis. The conundrum was that because of all the other good things going on, our attendance was light and unfortunately, for the second year in a row, we didn’t have enough churches to make a quorum to conduct the business portion of the program. Less than two weeks earlier, at our Dover Executive Committee Meeting, we announced record- breaking returns on our investments, blessing us with over $300,000 to invest in missions, ministries, disaster relief, pastor support, scholarships and more. Now, more than ever, Dover is ready for a change for good. This double entendre implies that we need to implement positive improvements, which will also last. This, I believe, is a key factor in our ability to serve and support our churches, mission and ministry partners, pastors, and others with the resources we’ve been blessed with. In the weeks and months to come, your Dover leadership will be working on priorities, presentations, and proposals to make changes for good. With tens of thousands of dollars to invest in Kingdom Work, we can’t risk analysis paralysis. We need to grow forward! We need to move full steam ahead! In the meantime, I pray you will begin this “Change for Good” by accepting the Dover Church Challenge. A generous gift of $1,776 will be added to our Watson Mission Offering if $1,776 is contributed by our churches and members within the first two weeks of May. Let’s bless others with the blessings we’ve been given! God Bless, Arnold ‘Win’ Davis, Executive Director of Missions

“No, this is the kind of fasting I want: loosen the chains of injustice, lighten the burden of those who work for you, and set the oppressed free.” - Isaiah 58:6 I have often remarked, that if God had a nickname for me, it would probably be “Amoeba Boy.” Over the years, I have come to the realization that my intellect and wisdom, compared to God’s, is comparable to that of an amoeba’s with Albert Einstein (or Solomon, if we’re staying in the theological wheelhouse). Nowhere is this more obvious, than when I come up with a “great idea” to build God’s Kingdom, without spending a significant amount of time with my Lord, in prayer. A few years ago, I decided to join a few of my ecumenical friends during the forty plus days between Ash Wednesday and Easter. I “gave up” a number of food items including white sugar and flour, and even french fries. “French fries? For forty days? For Me?  Wow!” This was the imaginary response I found myself hearing from my Lord. “Hey, Peter,” I imagined Him summoning “The Rock,” as the two watched me from their Heavenly box seats. “Looks like Win has another ‘great idea’: He’s giving up french fries,” I imagined my Lord patiently observing. “You’re going to let him fail again, aren’t you, Lord?” I envisioned Peter responding.  And sure enough, once again, God allowed me to learn from my mistakes. Jesus gave up His life for me, and I gave up french fries for him. When I think about it, it sounds pretty silly. I got so caught up in giving up stuff. What I hadn’t given up, was self. In Isaiah, God’s prophet delivered some pretty specific instructions regarding our actions and attitude, when it comes to personal sacrifice: Break the chains of injustice! Lighten the burden of others! Free the oppressed! We can’t do any of these when our focus is on ourselves. Jesus mirrored these admonitions when he scolded the self-righteous for turning their piety into a performance, and sacrifice into a show. What are you giving up? More importantly, what are you giving Him? Jesus doesn’t need you to forego french fries, Frappuccino, or even Facebook, unless they own you more than Him. He needs you to forego your ego. He wants your faithful (mostly behind the scenes) service and Christian compassion. Not just for forty days a year, but for the other 325 as well. So let’s begin.  Happy Easter and God Bless, Arnold 'Win' Davis, Executive Director of Missions
