Since Devin and I are on a little vacation blogging will be a little sporadic over the next several days.
I might throw up a few posts and possibly post a couple pictures.
Either way, have a great week!
I have been excited about what is going to happen this Sunday for several weeks!
It’s going to be a fantastic day!
Don’t Miss It (9:30 or 11:00 AM)!
I was reading through Michael’s book, and realized that my friend Tadd and I both had former blog posts that made cameo appearances. Here’s what I wrote:
Church planting is a cool thing to do. I agree with that 100%; however, if you are thinking of planting a church, you better have a more definitive reason for doing so than that.
Planting a church because it’s cool? – buy a new car…
…because it is exciting? buy a skydiving session and go jump out of an airplane…
…because you hate the one you’re in? find a new one and invest your life there…
…because you want to be the “lead” pastor? get over yourself, repent, and make sure there is more to it than that.
We need more churches and we need more church planters. Just make sure that it’s not your faulty motives masquerading as a calling from God. Make sure you were called to do it. Then, answer the call – just make absolutely sure that is what you are answering.
Several weeks ago we celebrated as a church those who have given their lives to Christ over the past few months.
38 people were baptized outside the school while a live-feed was being sent inside the auditorium.
It was a great day!
Here are a few pics of what I considered to be the most special baptism of the day – my 7 yr. old daughter! She gave her life to Jesus a week prior and it was a surreal experience to have the opportunity to baptize my little girl! Can’t beat that! I am so grateful for what God is doing!
