Milestones with God by Cheryl McKay

Mark Virkler's picture

I’m so thankful that God opens doors that no one else can open. Dreams come true. Miracles happen. Mountains move. There are times when He restores, heals, helps, blesses us.


Those special moments in life are what I like to call Milestones with God. I keep a list of those big moments and dates when they happened. This was inspired by Psalm 77. The Psalmist was discouraged for the first half of that chapter. Then, to cheer himself up, he decided to chronicle all the good things God had done in the past to help him through a difficult time in the present.

I shall remember the deeds of the Lord;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
I will meditate on all Your work
And muse on Your deeds.

(Ps. 77:11-12, NASB)


New TV series bringing God's heavenly hosts to our everyday lives

For me, being able to see my new, faith-based and faith-filled TV series, THESE STONES, come out for the public to see is one of those Milestone moments. I’ve worked in the film industry for almost three decades. There is usually a long wait and a lot of perseverance between the release of these kinds of projects.

My hope is everyone who watches THESE STONES will be touched by the series, want to grow in all the ways the characters do, and learn more about the six Bible characters who show up and work undercover to help people today.  

I never want to just write something for the sake of entertainment. I always want it to serve a higher purpose as well. The director of all six episodes of THESE STONES, Susan Rohrer and I decided to write an accompanying devotional study guide to go with the series. One of our motives is not only in hopes the book will draw people together to talk through the show’s messages, but also the parts of the book that share activities we call Activations. Each episode sparks ideas of ways we can reach out to our community, to help people who may be hurting around us, or to share words of encouragement. If viewers will do some of the actions inspired by the series, my hope is there will be a lot of acts of kindness going on and a ripple effect that goes beyond our TV show.

You can read more about our series from last week’s blog: https://www.cwgministries.org/blogs/new-tv-series-produced-clu-grad-cher...

We hope you will sign up to watch and also read the accompanying devotional, THESE STONES: Your Personal Devotional & Group Handbook for Season 1.

Also important: Let the network know through their social media pages, like Facebook and Instagram, that you want more shows like this. https://www.facebook.com/upfaithandfamily) and https://www.instagram.com/upfaithandfamily/

This is the kind of show we want to make for many years to come. While we get to know some wonderful Bible characters in season one like Sarah, Samuel, Jacob, and Rahab, there are so many more stories we’d love to dive into. We appreciate the support.

I also want to encourage anyone reading this blog to take the time to write your list of Milestones with God. Once you start, I think you’ll find like the Psalmist did that there are many times God shows up faithfully for us. Just like our series tagline, God makes sure you know You Are Never Alone.

Have you ever wished you could just sit down and have a long talk with the Lord? Wouldn't it be wonderful to move beyond having a theology that states that God loves you to actually hearing Him whisper words of love into your heart? When you're worried or confused, wouldn't you love to see the situation from His perspective and hear how He wants you to respond? When things don't seem to be going your way and your prayers aren't answered the way you had hoped, wouldn't it be great to hear Him tell you where He is in the midst of it, and what He is working out in your life?

Counseled by God

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 146 Pages

Have you ever been defeated by negative emotions such as anger, fear, guilt, inferiority, condemnation or depression? Have you tried to fight them off unsuccessfully? Is there an answer that is deeper than simply trying to mentally reason yourself out of these emotions? Is there a way that Jesus can speak a word of life into the depths of your emotional despair and bring healing on a deep level? Is there a form of Christian counseling that begins and ends with the movement of Christ within your heart, rather than simply with the words of man?
