Pastor's Retreat

God has done a work in my heart that I cannot explain. God has truly met with me and taught me some things. I want to live in such a way as to please my Savior.

I want to say how thankful I am to Vision Baptist Church for hosting the Pastor's retreat.

• Thank you for the great food


• Thank you for the great place to stay


• Thank you for the great teaching


• Thank you for the great fellowship

Train up a Child

I wanted you to see this picture which caught me by surprise! My daughter Hanna is very observant child weather for the good or for the bad. One day we were sitting in the living room of our house and my mother in law told the cat no. Well it wasn't too much longer before my daughter told the cat no. By the way what you do in secret your children will do in excess… unless the Lord intervenes. But this is the picture that every preacher wants to get on camera.

"Eph. 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."

Victory Baptist Church

We had a great service with Victory Baptist Church in Natchez, Mississippi. Pastor Vroman was gone to a pastor's school in Texas. He called and asked if I would fill the pulpit while he was gone. I went and preached on "Winning the Race". It seemed that the Lord blessed many of the people said that they appreciated the sermon (that could of just meant that they felt sorry for me).But they gave me a love offering. Amen!

Thank you Victory Baptist Church, for intrusting me to fill the pulpit while in the absence of your pastor...

Happy Valentine’s Day

Today I celebrate my Valentine's Day with the one I love, my wife Kristy. I wish that I could say that my wife gets all the credit that she deserves but it's not true. No matter how perfect of a husband you and I are we will never know how valuable our wives are.

It is hard for me to comprehend how that my wife would follow me all over the country, listen to me preach, and then tell me that I am her favorite preacher… Wow God is so good to me. I imagine that if you thought real hard about your life you would find out that God has been good to you too.

Happy Valentine's Day

Just doing my Job!

I always make it a point to let our military know that I appreciate what they do for me, my family and my country. I hope that this will challenge you to do the same.

As I was updating my blog at Pope Air Force Base this morning a man came and sat down in front of me and I said good morning, I appreciate your service to me and my country. He replied with a smile I am just doing my job. I was thrilled to know it was not a dread for him to do what he is supposed to do.

I wonder how many of us gripe and complain about having to pass out tracts, about not being able to go to the movies, about having to go to church. When what we should say is we are just doing our Job the list goes on and on. Things we can and cannot do.

While soul winning I am sometimes told what you are doing is a good thing, No I am just doing my Job.

Are you doing your Job?

Bethel Baptist Church

What a great start to Bethel Baptist Churches first ever Missions Conference. I am glad to report that we had great attendance. Dr. Halsey presented Missions in a very

• Interesting way
• Challenging way
• Encouraging way
• Convicting way

Thank you Bethel Baptist for having us as well as taking great care of us.

Mcdonough Baptist Tabernacle

Well for the first time I will admit I have preached the worst sermon ever in my life. I preached about the blood of Jesus. I studied, I prayed, I used the Bible, but for some reason or another I did terribly.

And I found my mistake, I prayed that God would show himself through me. Hide me behind the cross of Calvary. I have no idea what happened I got up there shared my heart and they took us on for support.

It is obvious that in and of myself I cannot gain or get support so therefore I just let God do it for me. I know some of you are more spiritual than I am. But I finally discovered that it's not all about me getting to Kenya but it is about Him dying for mankind.

Praise the Lord!

1Pe 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

• Thank you for the prophet's Chamber
• Thank you for allowing me to preach
• Thank you for the great love offering
• Thank you last of all for obeying the Lord when He asked you to support us...
