Pastor's Blog

On the point today – Rita Boutwell & June Strickler.  Tomorrow – Sonny Bates & Wanda Jordan.  Wednesday – Debbie Kendrick.

I have heard that the services at Friendship went well yesterday.  I appreciate Bro. Robbie preaching yesterday morning, Bro. Jerry Whitmore preaching the Spanish service, and Bro. Jerry Hovel preaching the evening service.  Also, I appreciate Bro. Benny coordinating the Hallelujah Festival ministry.  I am told the turnout was good and the help was great too!  Thank you for giving to the Lord!

The church auditorium will be open tonight from 6:00 – 8:00PM for those wishing to come and pray for our nation.  This would be an excellent time to pray for our upcoming revival services too.

The first of three nights of Upward evaluations begins tonight.  These evaluations will take place in the CAB.  I am not sure of the times but you can call the church office for the details.

Our church buildings are used as a voting precinct and that voting will take place in the fellowship hall tomorrow.

Please keep praying for Earl Kirschenman and Alex Moreland as they remain hospitalized.  Betty Creech’s dad, Mr. Walley, is seemingly going down physically.  Sonny Bates continues to recover at home and Tony Barnes was in the morning service yesterday.  Miss Joyce Bosarge is at home too.  Pray for these folks.

Folks, God showed up at Motlow Creek Baptist Church yesterday.  We saw 11 folks saved (6 in the morning service and 5 in the evening service).  Pastor Terry baptized 11 folks as a part of the evening service.  Hallelujah!  These folks have been praying and God has answered their prayers.  Awesome day as an awesome God manifested Himself!

It is about 3:00AM and I have been up for the past hour or so doing some reading.  One of the things that I read was where the fourth richest man in the world will soon be moving into his new house in Mumbai, India.  (I think he is a friend of Jerry Whitmore?)  It has taken seven years to build this house which has 27 floors, 400,000 square feet, 168 underground parking spaces, 3 helipads, and cost an estimated one billion dollars to build.  Wow!

I know it does not matter at this point but I was surprised that Oregon jumped Auburn in the BCS standings.  Lee West and these other Gamecock fans are killing me up here!  Wes Bates, I think the Rangers are done!  Deanna Rhyne, no comment on your favorite team!

I ask that you pray for me as I prepare to preach tonight.  I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
