Great Day

Yesterday we had a great day at Church. We had 157 in attendance which was a record for my time here in Shoals.

Our young people sang a special yesterday as we as our ladies and both did wonderful. We had our annual Sunrise Service yesterday and breakfast. Ronnie McKibben, Keith Albright and all their crew as always did a stand up job.

Now what will happen this Sunday?

Also a shout out to my good friends Darrel and Mark for breaking the thousand barrier at the Christian Church of Jasper

Handling Adversity

I have a friend who has had some real adversity lately. It has been so refreshing to watch him use the Lord, his friends, and his own resolve to see it through.

It made me wonder how would I handle adversity. How should we? God never promised that he would wipe every tear from our eye on this earth but would one day.

I am proud of my friend, he has shown how a Christian should act even when times seem very bad.

I hope I will honor the Lord by doing the same thing.

Tuesday not Monday

We had another great weekend at Shoals. We used our projection System for the second week. Things have gone rather smoothly with everything thus far. I am very excited about staying and working with the church here. They are really wanting to grow and expand their influence in the world.

I am sad to see Dr Terry Peer leave Louisvlle Bible College as Academic Dean. He is a great leader and the church where he serves will be lucky to have him.

Blessings to all my fellow preachers who will be speaking of the wonder of the resurrection this coming Sunday.
