Blog Has Moved

It is time for a change. This blog has closed, but it's not the end. From now on I'll be posting at our new blog, so why not come over and check it out.

Newsletter

This is the first newsletter of the new year. I hope you are having a great year so far. We took off the month of January. Although we did not go out, we were still busy. We had our second Evangelism Conference on February 9th. It was a success. We had about 20 people attend. I’m looking forward to what God is going to do this year with the ministry! Please continue to pray for the ministry this year, and the lives that we have the privilege to touch with the Gospel.

I am excited to announce our second Evangelism Conference. This Conference will instruct you on how to share the Gospel with anyone you talk with, regardless of who they are or what they believe. It will be held on February 9th at First Baptist Concord in Knoxville, TN. The Conference will start at 9am and end around noon. A brunch will be provided, and there will be special music. Please go to our website to register and download the study notes to bring with you. Please register soon, so we will have a place for you. The deadline to register is February 7th. After you register, I will send you more information. I look forward to seeing you there!

Newsletter

As most of you know by now, because I tell you every time Christmas comes around, Luke 2:11 is one of my favorite verses regardless of the season. This year I would like to share with you the verses that come before that verse. Luke 2:8-10 says, “And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.”
I once heard a preacher ask the question, after reading those verses, “Why do you think the first people to hear about Christ birth were a bunch of lowly shepherds?” Well, the Bible does not answer that question for us. Although the Bible is silent in regard to that question, I told the preacher after class that, in my opinion, it was because Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God. When John the Baptist saw Christ coming to be baptized in John 1:29 he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world!” Jesus is often referred to as the Lamb throughout scripture, so what better people to be the first to hear about His birth than shepherds who take care of lambs.

Take some time this season to thank God for providing a worthy sacrifice for your sins. (Rev. 5:12) For without the sacrifice of that spotless Lamb, none of us could stand in the face of a Holy God.     

Newsletter

    A couple of weekends ago we went up to Sugarland’s Visitor Center to give out tracts and share the gospel. We had a great time. The weather was good, and we saw a lot of people. We had the privilege to hand out about 700 tracts. We also had a chance to talk to several people who slowed down long enough to talk with us. Please pray for the people who took the tracts, and the ones who had questions. We never know what God is going to do in the lives of the people who take our tracts.

Encounters

A couple of weeks ago we were at the mall and met a young man named DeAndre. He shared with us that he had been in prison and while there “had a dream about hell.” He was very open to hearing the Gospel and listened to what we had to say very closely. We had the privilege to share the Gospel with him and were able to give him a Bible, tracts, a DVD, and my business card to get in touch with me later. Please pray for him that God would grant him saving grace.

We will be going to the Sugarland’s Visitor Center again. This will be our third trip up there. This is a great trip. The weather and the leaves have always been beautiful. We will be going on October 20th.  Mark your calendars and plan on joining us this year. This is a great event for those who would like to try their hand at evangelism for the first time. The people are friendly, and most, if not all, people take a tract and keep on walking. Let me know if you plan on coming, and I will give you more details. Please pray for us and the people who will receive the tracts.
