Hello Everyone,
Dalanda and I just got back from a few days of rest and relaxation at the Colorado River. It was beautiful.
While we were gone we got an email from our landlord that the house we have been in was sold and the new owner would like to meet and for us to sign a new lease. We have not been under a lease for over five years and didn't want to commit for the long term right now as we see that things are changing in the land. Dalanda asked me the question "Do you have enough faith that God will take care of us if we don't agree to a one year term?" The question then becomes "What if they evict us and we have to move?" So we both were praying and trusting the Lord. When I met with them I told them we think God is up to something and that we should not sign up for a one year lease but we would like to stay on a month to month. They understood and said "OK."
God is so wonderful. Not just because of this but because He gives direction and when we step in His direction He will continue to lead. Let God lead. Let Him show you the way you should go and walk in it.
God Bless you all!

9/11
Hello Everyone!
I remember that fateful day. I was at my business working with my friend Mike and the TV was giving me some background noise. I looked over when the news alert came on about the tower being attacked. We watched in horror for the next couple of hours as the towers came down. Our hearts ached for the people and the city of New York. America had come under attack. This is something we are not used to happening here. I pray we never have to get used to that.
That Sunday as the church was filled with many faces that hadn't been in a while, the pastor, Dave Tanner, walked over to me during worship and told me "God shows me you have the anointing of an Evangelist today, go and preach the word." I went to the stage and preached a message and did the altar call and many people came to the altar to give their lives to Jesus. Many responded to God that day.
Nine months later I was in New York. We went to ground zero. It was a very somber site to see. When we came out of the end of the subway line there were pictures and notes for the people that were missing. My heart was broken. The buildings around the site had covers and one had a huge sign that said "We will never forget." As I site today and remember that time I think back on all the people that came to church on that Sunday after, how the altar was filled with people. I remember that it didn't last. They eventually stopped coming and faded back into their old lifestyle. I asked the Lord where were they. He simply told me "They build their house on fear and that is sinking sand."
Maybe you can remember a time when you made a step toward Jesus and you are thinking today "I need to get back to Him." It's not out of fear but out of you know that He is the way, the truth, and the life. Just bow your heart to Him today and make that decision to follow Jesus. Get back to the house of God where you can grow in Christ. It's a great time to serve the Lord today.
God Bless you!

The Rapture
As I have been watching the world the last year, it seems that everybody thinks something is up. With people thinking the world would end with the end of the Mayan calendar to movies like 2012 being made. The world has a sense that things are wrapping up in the world. When you look at the Bible you can get the same feeling, but not yet. We still have a great commission that has to be fulfilled. Even when there is wars and rumors of wars, or pestilence or famine, we still need to be sharing the gospel.
If you want to be a "PREPPER", get ready to be with Jesus by "letting go of every weight and sin that so easily ensnares you." I believe in the Rapture of the church. I believe that God does not judge the righteous with the wicked. These are things I hold on to.
Paul tells of the rapture in 1 Thes. 4. He tells how we will be caught up in the air to meet Jesus. In the first part of the chapter he tells us of one thing that makes us reject God, "Sexual Immorality."

This is serious business. Make sure your life is free from this stuff. Don't hold on to any of it. Get with your pastor or a friend in the Lord and allow yourself to be held accountable. We don't want any weights holding us down when the trumpet sounds. We want to all go and meet Jesus in the air.
God Bless you.
