What is Drops Forge Rivers?

This is Drops Forge Rivers, a brand new site by John Fraser that's just getting started. DFR is an independent publication about God's Word launched in February 2025. The belief behind this blog is that small actions taken day after day can produce big changes. For example, take a raindrop. Nobody fears the power of a raindrop falling from the sky. Yet, if you put that raindrop together with enough other raindrops over enough time, you can carve mile deep canyons through solid stone. The same is true with faith and God's Word. A little bit every day doesn't move us much; but if you give it enough time it'll move you completely. The hope at DFR is that a little time with God's Word every day won't cost you much, but it will help make you into something new over time.

The plan? DFR will look at small snippets of God's Word every day. We're going to start with Mark, which is often considered the easiest of the stories of Jesus to read. We'll walk through the story two to five verses a day. That is just enough to spend a single minute reading a few verses and then another couple of minutes to read through a blog post that is hopefully thought-provoking. The total time investment will hopefully be less than five minutes a day. Then, you can spend the rest of your day letting God take that thought within you wherever He would have it go. It's all about small consistent commitments paying off big over time.

Walk with DFR and let's see where God can take you!
