Busy weekend....

On Saturday Debra and I attended the funeral services for Sister Peggy Wynn, whose husband Ray served for many years as the President of Bible Training Institute in Cleveland, Tennessee. The funeral was conducted by many of the senior ministers at the Peerless Road Church, Senior Pastor Tim Coalter and VOS speaker, Billy Wilson.

Yesterday morning, Debra and I were privileged to be with the church at Sunbright. That afternoon, we traveled back to Cleveland for visitation and a memorial service for Sister Lois Smith, a retired minister. Much of the service was conducted by Sister Lois' family, however, the officiating minister was Pastor Luther Massengale of the Crab Orchard church.

Every time I watch our ministers serve the congregations there is a deep sense of pride that I experience....especially as I watch the compassion they demonstrate. We are blessed to have so many quality ministers in Tennessee.

God bless each and every one of you.

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He

A question about your church...

This last few days I have been in the State of Kentucky. I came here with my wife, whose father was having medical tests as of the results of a probable heart attack. He seems to be doing well (as of tonight) and is scheduled for one more test, then hopefully he will be released and further treatments to bring him to health. While this is a scary moment for my wife's family it has also been a time to step away from the daily work and observe others around us. Since Debra's father is a pastor (Church of God of Prophecy, Central City, KY) there have been visits from the State Presiding Bishop, Scott Gillum, area pastors and of course some of his church members. It is heartening to watch the love and concern that is show by those visiting. There has also been quite a few of Debra's extended family here, along with her younger brother and his family. I've watch the nurses and technicians at the Owensboro Medical Center demonstrate concern and what seems to be good care
