He Loves Me…He Loves Me…

When I think of Valentine’s Day, I think of a cartoon character pulling away at the petals of a flower saying, “He loves me.  He loves me not.  He loves me.  He loves me not.”  Well, I’ve got news for you.  Read this slowly… “He loves me.  He loves me.  He loves me.  He lovesContinue reading “He Loves Me…He Loves Me…”

Parents And Youth Ministry

Dear Family and Friends, I have had a passion for youth ministry ever since I was young enough to be in it!  There is nothing sweeter or more precious than seeing young people on fire for Jesus.  This is my heart’s cry.  Many young people turning to the Lord at a tender age, while theirContinue reading “Parents And Youth Ministry”

I Still Believe In The Name of Jesus

I still believe in the precious, holy, awesome, excellent, matchless Name of Jesus!  His Name is higher than any other.  There are so many names out there that cause a flurry of emotional responses.  Words like COVID, cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, terrorism, crime, gun violence, anxiety disorders, death, car accidents, sex trafficking,Continue reading “I Still Believe In The Name of Jesus”

Testing. Testing.

Before every worship service we do a microphone check.  I go to the pulpit and you can hear me say, “Testing. Testing. 1-2-3.”  My son Daniel will fix all the levels so that a clean, clear, sound free from distortion and feedback comes through the speakers.  Testing is done in so many areas of life…Continue reading “Testing.
