The Real Church

What is the purpose of having a blog if you are not going to blog? My goodness...why do you
even have it? I know many of you have asked that question but honestly...I have been busy and fighting for my life. Family, life, business, life and oh yeah, a young church. Whew! What a summer.

Life will hand you a puzzle and gives you absolutely no clues on how to figure it out! Can I get an amen? Right there?

I know I owe you all something really good and profound and that will come soon.

I wanted to take this opportunity to give a BIG SHOUT out to http://www.12stone.com/ an amazing ministry located in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Since July 12th, God has graced our ministry with His hand of salvation and people are getting saved and lives are changing. During a recent visit and tour of 12stone, my gracious host showed me their baptismal pools which lead to a great conversation. As we were standing there I was able to qoute the price because I wanted one so we would not have to go back to the local swimming pool to commence this most important sacrament. My host tells me they were actually ordering some new pools that very day. I said, "Wow! great. Would you be so kind to forward me the information of the vendor so I can eventually order one for us." The young man in charge said sure but one of the church leaders said, "You know what? Order them one and call me to get the account to charge it to!" That was God in action! I was so elated at seeing God move straightway.

Yesterday, I baptized 4 people. What a public declaration and next week there will be some more! I am deeply grateful to 12stone for their heart to serve and assist. What an awesome ministry! I was even more impressed with the empowerment to make it happen for Jesus without having a vote by a board.

Again thanks 12stone! May God richly bless you beyond measure!

It's dippin time...

Be blessed,
