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
