Sunday, January 29

Hello everyone. The sun is out and it is warming up outside. I'd like it to warm up to summer temperatures but that's for another day.

This coming Sunday I will preach at two different churches. On Sunday morning, I will preach at the Dickson City Assembly of God in Dickson City, Pennsylvania and in the evening, I will minister at my home church, the Green Ridge Assembly of God. Please pray that the words I preach will bless and touch these congregations. Pray that the Word of God will grip people's hearts.

I've been reading through the Book of Deuteronomy this week. Chapter 11, verse 26 says, "Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse." Let's pretend that there are 2 doors in front of you. Behind one door is a guaranteed life of blessing and peace. Behind the other door is a life of misery and sorrow. It's a no brainer. You would chose the door that contained blessing and peace. Isn't that exactly what Jesus offers people today yet so many chose the other. We forfeit blessings for a curse when all we have to do is follow Jesus. The narrow way verses the wide way. God help us to walk the narrow way that leads to life.

Have a good day in Jesus. He is near.

This Coming Sunday

Good morning everyone. It is a beautiful, sunny Thursday morning. I'd like it to be about 20 degrees warmer but I'll take this anyway.

This coming Sunday I will be ministering at New Life Assembly of God in Grantville, Pennsylvania. This is a church I have never been to before. Please pray that hearts will be open to the Word of God. Pray that the sermons will touch and challenge those in attendance. Also, please pray for me physically. For the last few days, I've been sick with a cold. It would be nice to preach and not have to worry about blowing my nose every few minutes.

I've been reading through the Book of Numbers this week. Funny how the Israelites missed their first opportunity to enter the Promise Land. That makes me think. May we not miss God in our own lives or the opportunities He sends our way. Wandering around aimlessly for 40 years doesn't sound fun.

Have a good day in Jesus! Blessings!

A Whole New Experience

This computer stuff is unbelievable. Ten years ago, who would have thought that the whole world could see your opinions and beliefs through a blog. Time sure changes things.

Through this blog, I hope to share my ministry and the greatest thing I know...having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He is my reason for existing.

May God be near to each of you today.

Weekly News

Good morning everyone. I hope that you are enjoying your day.

This coming Sunday I will be ministering at Word Fellowship in Old Forge, Pennsylvania. Please pray that the messages I preach will be an encouragement to the congregation. I find that so many people need a word of encouragement in our society. Pray that Jesus will make Himself real to all who attend.

We are in the midst of a week of prayer in my home church. This is a good time for it allows opportunity to focus on the Lord and receive direction from Him. Even before the week began, I felt the Lord impress the following verse in my heart, Isaiah 42:9 "See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you." May we allow the Lord to do a new thing, a new work in our lives. He surely wants to.

God's blessings to you all.
