Trusting God’s Timing and Direction

Choosing to follow God’s way means living with purpose, not reacting on emotion or impulse. It requires us to act only when God leads, rather than pushing ahead on our own schedule. Consider Psalm 27:14, “Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord. ” Waiting is not always easy—it can take inner strength and patience to stay still when we feel ready to move.

Obedience to God involves trusting that His timing is right, even when it feels slow. Often, doing nothing until He gives direction is the hardest thing to do. He will supply whatever is needed to carry out His plan. It may not include what we want, or think we need, because God sees the big picture more than we.

And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19

The Good Work God Completes in Believers

In Philippians 1:6, Paul writes that the Lord will finish the good work He has begun in His people until the day of Christ. This good work is salvation. Salvation is not only a moment in time but a work of God that stretches across all time.

When a person first repents and trusts in Jesus, they are saved from the penalty of sin. The believer is made right with God. But the work does not stop there. The Holy Spirit continues to shape the believer’s life, helping them turn away from sin and grow more like Christ. This present part of salvation is called sanctification.

There is also a future promise. One day, when believers are with Christ forever, they will be completely free from the presence of sin. This final part of salvation is known as glorification.

So salvation is one work of God with three parts: we were saved from the penalty of sin, we are being saved from the power of sin, and we will be saved from the presence of sin. This is the work the Lord will bring to completion.

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

Ephesians 2:8

Joshua Horrell is departing The Kingdom Heirs On Monday (October 27, 2025.) So, where’s he going?

“Hey everyone, this is Joshua Harle of, well, now the LeFevre Quartet,” he began his announcement.

“I’m beyond excited about this opportunity to hit the road with these great guys. The LeFevre name has such a rich history in gospel music and I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a legacy,” said Joshua.

Joshua is filling the spot left open by Jonathan Price who has served as tenor for The LeFevre Quartet. Jonathan is going off the road to focus on full-time ministry. Now that Joshua is with the LeFevre Quartet, The Kingdom Heirs are immediately auditioning for a replacement for him. You can see all the details about that on their Facebook post.

Joshua spoke of his new role in the Lefevre Quartet. “I am so excited to be able to share the stage with Mike, Jordan, and Daniel, to share the timeless message of hope and salvation through song.”

STATEMENT FROM THE LEFEVRE QUARTET:

The LeFevre Quartet is pleased to announce Joshua Horrell as the group’s new tenor vocalist. Horrell steps into the role following the transition of tenor Jonathan Price, who is stepping away from full-time ministry.
After more than 25 years in music ministry, Jonathan shared that his decision to step away from full-time ministry came only after much prayerful consideration. “This has not been an easy decision,” he said, “but I have peace knowing it’s the right step in this season of life.” Jonathan expressed deep gratitude to his wife, Megan, and their children for their love and support through the years, and he spoke warmly of his time with the group. “Mike and Jordan LeFevre are without a doubt true men of God, and it has been an honor to work for such men of integrity,” he shared. “From my very first weekend with the LeFevre Quartet ten years ago, I knew I wanted to be part of this ministry. Mike, Jordan, and Daniel have become like brothers, and I’ll always consider them family.”
Joining the group as the new tenor, Josh Horrell said he is humbled and excited to carry on the quartet’s legacy. “The LeFevre name represents one of the most respected and enduring legacies in gospel music,” he shared. “To now be part of that history is a dream come true.” Horrell said he looks forward to hitting the road with Mike, Jordan, and Daniel and continuing to share the timeless message of hope and salvation through song.
Group founder Mike LeFevre expressed both gratitude and anticipation during the transition. “Jonathan has been an incredible blessing to our ministry and to audiences across the country,” LeFevre said. “We are so thankful for his dedication, friendship, and faithfulness over his time with us. At the same time, we’re excited to welcome Josh and look forward to seeing how God will continue to use the LeFevre Quartet in this next chapter.”
Jordan LeFevre added, “Josh brings an amazing voice and a genuine heart for ministry. From the first moment we sang together, it just felt right. We believe God has great things ahead for this group and for the people we’ll reach through the message of our music.”
The LeFevre Quartet continues to tour, carrying on a legacy of excellence and devotion that has defined the group for generations. To see where you can find the LeFevre Quartet live, visit their full tour schedule at lefevrequartet.com.

Texas Gospel will let you know who will become the next Kingdom Heirs member once it’s announced.

Living with a Heart that Prays

Some Bible commands can feel difficult to follow. One example is in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, where Paul tells believers to “pray without ceasing.” At first, this can sound like we must pray every moment of the day. But the teaching is about having prayer as an ongoing part of life, not about speaking prayers nonstop.

To “pray without ceasing” means there should never be long periods in our lives when we are not praying. We may not pray out loud all the time, but our hearts should stay open to God. Prayer becomes part of our regular daily rhythm, much like thinking about loved ones throughout the day without speaking to them every moment.

Even if we are not always talking to God, we can live with an attitude that we are in his presence and ready to speak to him at any time. Our thoughts and actions can be shaped by a steady awareness of him. We should bring everything to God in prayer, making it a natural and ongoing part of life.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Philippians 4:6

Think Before You Act, God’s Bigger Plan

When something upsetting happens, it’s easy to respond quickly without thinking. But before reacting, it’s important to pause and ask, “What might God be doing in this situation?” Looking at the bigger picture can help us make better choices.

Many people have ended up in difficult situations because they made decisions out of anger, hurt, or a desire for revenge. These decisions, whether dishonest, immoral, or simply emotional, can lead to long-lasting problems. In moments of frustration, it’s easy to choose what feels right in the moment, but those choices often come with serious consequences.

Instead of acting on impulse, we should take time to consider where our actions might lead. Asking ourselves what God’s purpose might be can help us avoid harm. God’s way is always the better way, even when it’s not the easiest one.

You know this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Now everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; for a man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness of God.

James 1:19-20
