BVOV Magazine 2013 - present

VOL. 52 : N o 7 : IN PRINT SINCE '73 INSIDE JULY Editor's Letter Check It Out! Hearing that phrase recently, I couldn't help but remember how often we used those words as young "hipsters" growing up in the mid- 1900s. Back then, the phrase was mostly used to direct someone's attention to something special or unusual. Whenever we discovered something new, or had something we thought was cool and wanted to share with others, we would say, "Hey, check it out!" No doubt this present generation has a different way of saying this today. But the meaning remains the same. In fact, the Bible had its own way of drawing one's attention long before "check it out" came along. For example, Psalm 66:5 invites us to "come and see what God has done, his awesome deeds for mankind!" (New International Version). In speaking of the goodness of the Lord, the psalmist challenges us in Psalm 34:8 to "taste and see that the LORD is good." And in 1 John 4:1, we are urged to "test the spirits to see whether they are from God" (NIV). Come. Taste. Test. Each saying boils down to one thing: Check it out, and see for yourself! And that's what I hope you will do later this month as thousands of believers join us July 29 through Aug. 3, for the Southwest Believers' Convention that takes place at the Fort Worth Convention Center in downtown Fort Worth, Texas. When the woman at the well entered into conversation with Jesus, who was a stranger, the Bible says she was overly surprised when Jesus began telling her everything about herself. So surprised, in fact, that she "left her water jar beside the well and ran back to the village, telling everyone,'Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did!'" (John 4:28-29, New Living Translation.) At KCM, we are connected to a great prophet of God in Kenneth Copeland. When you join us this year at the Southwest Believers' Convention, you'll not only hear what the Lord is saying to the Body of Christ through Brother Copeland, but you'll also receive encouraging words from God, delivered by a host of other anointed ministers of the gospel. I hope you've already made plans to come be with us and become immersed in the blessed preaching, teaching and fellowship that always takes place in these six-day meetings. If you haven't made plans, it's not too late. Register today, then saddle up and head on over for a great time of fellowship around the Word. Come check it out! Ronald C.
