A Thankful Heart

Well friends, Thanksgiving Day is later this week.  I know that is probably not a newsflash to you, but I thought I would mention it in case you jumped right into Christmas preparations...after all, there are about five days less of shopping and Wall Street needs for you to pay attention.

As usual, the television, radio, newspaper advertisements are coming at us in all directions, and if that is not enough, chances are that you will be receiving phone calls from marketing agencies to buy products. Christmas decorations will increasingly appear around you and before long Frosty the Snowman will start playing on the radio.

With all that in mind, I would like to encourage you to slow down and realize that this week should be set aside to remember our blessings and pray for God's intervention in our lives.  To spend time with friends and families and enjoy the blessings of good food and fellowship.

I trust you will find much to be thankful for and that you will remember the greatest blessing of all...God loves you so much that He can't take His eyes off you.

After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples.

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...
