What a Day

Boy! We had a good day in the Lord this past Sunday. I wrote about Sunday morning, but Sunday Night was the Kicker. I had planned on preaching about heaven "I'm Longing for Home", I thought the Lord wanted that too. I asked the song leader to sing some songs about Heaven. He did, all of them were very good. I asked for specials and they were good too, but something wasn't right.

I began looking at my watch, see, we had business meeting Sunday night too, so the time was "getting away from me". Finally the Lord spoke to my heart and said, "don't worry about the time, just worship me". I then told the church, hey we spent 20 minutes or so in business meeting, let's not rush the service, but lets worship God.

They responded well, some more folks sang, other testified, I shouted, other raised their hands, clapped their hands and altogether we worshipped the Heaven Father.

A Great day in the Lord.


 

Thank you Lord!

Sunday A.M. Service

Hey everyone.
 
We had a good service this morning. It started for me last night. As I was studying for the message, God really touched my heart through the message and also a cd that I was playing really got a hold on me.
Two songs stick out. "Thanks to Calvary" and "praise God, it's settled, I'm saved" wow! I had a time.
 
I was studying amessage titled "Let's make a deal" Basically it was about the things in our life that God wants in return for His Fellowship, Comfort, Strength, Righteousness, and Help. God really does want to help us. Too many times Christians are defeated because they either don't know what to do with their problems, or choose to bear them on their own. But if we can gives all of those things or "Surrender All" to God, we can have a victorious life.
 
We also had a baby dedication for "Baby Blaine" she is so cute. It was an honor to be a part of the service.
 
Have a great day in the Lord.
