The Lord is good

As I write tonight, I've finished a full day of meetings at the International Offices with a whole day planned tomorrow.  I will have the privilege of ministering tomorrow morning to the IO staff at their weekly devotion.  As soon as that is over, our committee will be making a trip to Fields of the Wood.  When we return, there will be a trip to the visitation for Sister Inez Biggers, a faithful saint of God.

On Thursday I will attend funeral services for Sister Biggers and then head back to Middle Tennessee for the Ladies Spring Spectacular at Cool Springs.  By the time this week is over, I will answer dozens of emails, make phones calls and handle administrative duties.

Now, you may wonder, "why in the world did he share all that?"  Here's why...because God has been good to me, He has kept me safe, given me friends all over the United States and in several nations of the world.  He has blessed me with a loving family who are all involved in ministry.

During all of this time, my heart kept beating and God's fresh air continued to fill my lungs.  I can walk without assistance.  I can live...I can love...I can change...I can make a difference.

Now doesn't that sound like God's been good to me?  I believe He has been good to you too.  Take just a moment to think about it and with me, you will say...The Lord is good!

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...

New Church Organized

It is always a tremendous thrill to announce the establishment of a new church. This post shares a little about our latest. On January 30, 2011 I met with the people of the Capilla De La Victoria (Victory Chapel) in Cleveland, Tennessee for the purpose of organizing and establishing what had been a mission work for well over two years. Previously, this group had met under the direction of Cliff Anderson in a part of the Peerless Road Complex. Pastor Tim Coalter (now State Presiding Bishop of South Carolina) shared with the congregation a vision of that local church planting two churches in the United States. We then joined in a partnership with the Tennessee State Office to share in the cost of rent and other needs for a period of two years. Since the inception of the idea, there were several changes. Pastor Cliff Anderson felt the need of a change and Pastor Tim Coalter was appointed to serve in another ministry. At this time Omar Velazquez agreed to assume the leadership of th...
