Full week

This past week has been a particularly full one, and I am thankful that today is the start of a new week. I was blessed to minister in revival services at the Restoration Fellowship Church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where Verlin and Jean Thornton serve. Special thanks to Glynis (Varlack) Algood for leading worship and for Noelle who has a way of lighting up the whole room when she enters. The revival began on Sunday and continued through Wednesday evening.

After the services on Tuesday night, I drove to Cleveland to participate in a briefing from ARKS, Inc concerning a properties study that was conducted. You will see this information in a previous post. Your input is welcome at the international level, and I would encourage you to share your thoughts on the report. More info is at www.cogop.org along with an email contact at vision2020@cogop.org

After the briefing in Cleveland, I drove back to Murfreesboro for the final night of services, then back home.

On Thursday, it was back to Cleveland for a meeting of the Administrative Committee members and General Presbyters (who constitute the corporate board of directors for the Church of God of Prophecy, International. This meeting took place on Friday.

Friday night found us in Manchester for the CORE values meeting with area pastors. There was a great turnout and time of discussion among the pastors.

Saturday morning, we enjoyed a nice breakfast with the area pastors prepared by the ladies of the Manchester church, then it was back to Cleveland for a Princess party for our first grandchild, Reagan.

Sunday morning, we worshiped with the church at Keith Street Ministries, and enjoyed the message by Pastor John A. Stone.

In the afternoon, Debra attended a baby shower for Jay and Becky Lee, the son and daughter-in-law of Bishop Rick and Theresa Lee, overseer of the Northwest Territories Region.

Finally....home. We are thankful for the traveling mercies of the Lord, and for all of the wonderful people of Tennessee. This last week, I reached the quarter million mile mark of traveling Tennessee roads for the past six years...we are blessed!

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
