Eventful Week

When I chose a topic for today's post the only word that would come to my mind is eventful. This has been a week filled with tragedy and triumph. The week began with attending the visitation services for Sister Mae Hill of the Crossroads church. Many of you know this is Myrna Moore's mother (wife of Pastor Windell Moore, Gallatin) and you may also know that many, many years ago she served as a pastor in the Church of God of Prophecy. One of our senior ministers in the state, Pastor Buna Lampley came to the Lord under Sister Hill's ministry.

From there I made the trip over to Cleveland where I participated in the Leadership Development Institute hosted by Tomlinson Center. On the opening night this year I gave a brief CORE VALUES presentation, representing the Administrative Committee. On Thursday, I presented a class on "Developing Vision to Achieve Destiny." The class was very well attended and the Lord was with us in a special way.

It was while we were at LDI that deadly storms struck across the Southeastern United States. While Alabama was probably hit the hardest, our Durkee Road church in Cleveland sustained major damage to their daycare center, but the Lord kept His hand on all of our people. We join in prayer for the people suffering, and will do all we can to assist. The Hackleburg church in Alabama suffered total loss of their brand new church building, the old church building and their parsonage. Pastor Clint Knowles and his congregation are in our prayers tonight.

As we begin the new week tomorrow, I will be participating at a Mortgage Burning ceremony at the GreenRidge (formerly Greenbrier) church in Ridgetop, Tennessee. The Lord miraculously gave our local church there a new building and now we rejoice with them.

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...

Prayer Request

Yesterday and today have been filled with non-stop preparations and meetings for the General Assembly. The State/National Overseers will be traveling to begin meeting this week in Nashville. Will you please join me in prayer for travel mercies for all of those on their way to Nashville? Also, Sister Wilma Massengale is still in Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. This precious lady and her family need our prayer support, and I hope you will join me in prayer for them, believing the Lord is able to meet their need.
