Good morning everyone. We have had a wonderful stretch of Indian summer this week in northeastern Pennsylvania. If it would continue to spring, that would be just fine.
This coming Sunday, I will be ministering at Calvary Lighthouse in Lakewood, New Jersey, where my friends, Wes and Esther Lindquist serve as senior pastors of this great church. Esther was my best friend years ago when we attended Valley Forge Christian College. Please pray that the Lord will bless these services with His Presence and that God's Word would bring encouragement to those who attend. I am keenly aware that many in the body of Christ need a word of encouragement as they daily face a fallen world.
I'm reading through the minor prophets. Ever since my years in Bible College, I have loved these smaller books in the Old Testament because they are filled with much wisdom and holy guidance. These are the words I read this morning in Amos 5:14 "Seek good and not evil, That you may live; So the LORD God of hosts will be with you." In a world that has taken what is evil and made it good, may we as followers of Christ seek the truth and goodness that is found in living a righteous life onto our Lord. I say a hearty amen to that.

Take Me Home Country Roads...Or At Least To My Next Church
Hello everyone. I'm waiting for the rain to begin this afternoon here in northeastern Pennsylvania.
This coming Sunday through Wednesday, I will be ministering at a very familiar church, the Rig Assembly of God in Rig, West Virginia. My good friends, Pastor Brad and Teri Taylor have lead this church for the past 12 years and it's always a joy to return and minister. Please pray that these services will be filled with the glory and presence of our Wonderful Savior and Lord.
Right after these revival meetings, I will be attending my 25th college reunion at Valley Forge Christian College in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania for a few days. Where did the time go? It was at this wonderful college where my life was molded and shaped to serve the Lord for all these years in the ministry. I am looking very forward to seeing old friends and walking through the campus. After 25 years, I'm still going strong for the Lord and plan on continuing to serve Him and His church for the next 25 or however many years I have left. Once a Valley Forger, always a Valley Forger! Go Patriots! I hope the alumni win the Homecoming basketball game....

Back To The Central
Good morning everyone. The sun has come out to play today.
This coming Saturday and Sunday, I will be ministering at North End Assembly of God in Northern Cambria, Pennsylvania. On Saturday night, I will minister at a ladies function and then to the church on Sunday. Please pray that the Lord will bless these services and that people will experience the power and encouragement of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
I'm reading through the Book of Psalms. What I keep picking up in the sense of putting our trust in the Lord. Sometimes that is much easier said than done. How often do we say, "I trust you, Lord" only to find ourselves struggling with doubt and fear. Yet the truth of the matter is we can trust, really trust the Lord no matter what comes our way. I'm finding as I get older and have more life experiences to look back on that the Lord is an absolute rock and refuge in times of trouble. If my trust is being placed anywhere, it will be in the hands of all knowing and all loving God.

At A Cross Road
The rain has finally stopped and I am so very thankful that my basement didn't take on too much water.
This coming Sunday, I will be ministering at Cross Road Assembly in Moscow, Pennsylvania where Ron Liples serves as pastor. Please pray that the Lord will bless these services as I convey the timeless message of the gospel to this congregation. As the old hymn states, "I love to tell the story..."
We in Pennsylvania and many other northeastern states were hammered with a pounding and flooding rain yesterday and overnight. It made me think of Noah and the 40 days of rain he endured. It also makes me think of a spiritual rain that the Lord wishes to send, the latter rain of His Spirit. I hope that we will all let the refreshing rain of the Lord to touch and cleanse our lives.
