When a Pastor and Friend is Corrupted

It's sad that such a godly minister of the Gospel in such a wonderful country as Trinidad can become so corrupted so easily.

Seriously, this is my friend, Pastor Roddie Taylor, from Trinidad who received this as a gift. But I just had to jump in and remind everyone where I stand!

How nice it is to have fun with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Celebrating The Seasoned Saint

In Uncategorized on May 7, 2006 at 6:41 pm

Here at Boone's Creek Baptist Church, we celebrated Senior Adult Sunday.  Here's the audio sermon from this past Sunday.  I am 34 years old and approached this sermon with much trepidation because I am far away from that age demographic.  But I'm thankful that the Word of God addresses these issues and God really used it to encourage our seasoned saints.  His Word is power!  Praise be to the Lord!

Reflections for our Lord’s Day

May this be the day we expect to encounter God in His Word, amongst His people, for His glory and for our good. 

May this be a day where we worship, not simply attend a worship service.

May this be a day when songs are song not simply because of a beautiful melody line, not simply to display our deftness and singing harmony, and not because these are songs we've always sung — but because they rightly communicate our worship to the Lord Jesus and strengthen the saints.

May the fellowship we have with the saints of God not simply be a time to catch up on the week's happenings, sports scores, race results, or the latest 'dirt,' but may we be ones who cherish the brotherhood of Jesus.

May the money we give during the offering not simply be given to help the church maintain their business endeavors nor simply but as an act of obedience and worship.

May the preaching not be simply to address felt needs or simply to bring light hearted comedy, but to proclaim as a herald the Good News and as one who is captive to the Word of God.
