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!

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.

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...

Death Notice - Clara McMahan

I AM SHARING A NOTICE I JUST RECEIVED FROM PASTOR TERRY BARNWELL (KNOXVILLE- ARROWHEAD) Hi Brother; I pray your day is going along well. I wanted to let you know of the passing of Sister Clara McMahan this morning. Her husband Claude has served as deacon for over 52 years at the Arrowhead church. This wonderful lady has touched thousands of lives across Tennessee. She is the sister of Charlie Weaver. The day you and Sister McKinley were with us on the Home Coming Sunday if you remember the youth presented this couple with a light house they had built for them. Sister Clara will be greatly missed greatly. I will let you know the arrangements when I get them if you wished to attend the services. If your schedule will not permit I understand, but I just wanted you to know. Love you and have a blessed day; Bro. Terry
