We've Arrived

Our family loves Christmas. We spent much of the weekend getting ready
to travel.

The snow was awesome. Yeah, it hampered our service Sunday at The
Community, but our family got to play together in the snow, we got to
worship with a group of friends and had some great moments together.
Now we have arrived in Vidalia where my wife was raised. My mother in
law treated us to a wonderful dinner. Our new puppy is having a ball
and chewing up stuff, like opening presents. Not good. But our
Christmas is set. Last night we got to bless and share with some of
our neighbors. Today we talked about the reason for the season. I'm
planning some more moments of Jesus time. I can't wait. How is Jesus
part of your celebration?

Please pray for my friend Rodney Jamison. He is pastor of Crossroads
Baptist Chapel in Burnsville, West Virginia. They had 3 feet of snow
and have no electricity at present. He also had a car accident today.
Rodney is fine but needs our prayers. The Community adopted Rodney and
his church as our church plant for the year. God is doing great things
in and through Rodney. He is a great man.

More to come. Have a blessed Christmas week!

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
