Challenge
The ultimate measure of a person is not where they stand in moments of comfort and convenience, but where the stand in times of challenge and controversy.

Psalm 23:1-6 Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and loving kindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Psalm 23:1-6
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.

I did not have the privilege of having met Bishop Carthen in person, but was blessed many times over hearing him preach ay Bayside Granite Bay. While at Mt. Hermon this past summer, when my husband and I heard he was speaking there next summer, we did not hesitate to sign up.
Two moments I want to share with you that will remain in my heart forever:
1) I took my boys to see the inauguration ceremony for Dr. John Jackson, at William Jessup University. I sat there, witnessing Godly men of our community, speaking words of encouragement and affirmation to the new president. I was particularly taken by Bishop Cathen's message. Not only was it affirming, it was also a charge for accountability. I sat there, crying over God's positioning of these incredible men all in this region, a region we had recently moved to, heedling a call from the Lord, but not knowing why we were here. I realized that Bishop Carthen and these other leaders would be the men speaking into and shaping the lives of my boys. Even though Bishop Carthen has passed on, through technology, his teaching will continue to be a facet in our family devotions.
2) I have a friend whom I have known all her life (that's 44 years!) She has lived a survivor's life, and was against God for many years. These past two years, though, I have seen a softening of her heart, and whenever she visited us (she lives in Washington), she would join us at Bayside(Granite Bay). A few months ago, she paid us a visit and we attended the Bayside service, with Bishop Carthen speaking. Later that evening, she shared with me that a couple weeks earlier she had given her life to Jesus. Before entering the Bayside service, she prayed silently, "Lord, please show me what to do next. I need to know what to do next."
During that service, Bishop Carthen actually said, "If you are a new believer, and you need to know what to do next, here are the next five things you need to do." My friend was shocked and stunned that the Lord used Bishop Carthen to answer her prayer so quickly and so exact. I am forever grateful for his mesage to her that day.
