    January 23, 2005 Good morning. Let me start by saying that Diana and I could not wait to get back up here.

    We must decide to do the job we have been told to do or not, and if we choose not to, we must be aware that we will be held totally accountable for that decision.

    Have you ever gone fishing?

    This sermon details the cause of America’s distance from God - all in a context of remembering: the fallen soldiers; our Godly forefathers, and of course, remembering Jesus, our Christ.

    Tomorrow, we will celebrate our nation’s Memorial Day. That is the day we set apart to honor those who have died in the defense of our great nation. Those who gave their all so that we could have it all. Those who made the ultimate sacrifice, so that we might not have to. As we look back into ...read more

    based on 37 ratings
     | 7,819 views

    We can look back to what God did for us in 2005, or ahead to what He wants to do for us in 2006. We can look both ways, but we can only step out one way ... and that should be in faith.

    Something happened a few hours ago. Something I believe each of us must come to terms with. What was it? The clock struck midnight, and in so doing, we had to say good-bye to one year, but we got to say hello to a brand new year. We go through this each year, but I am not sure just how much ...read more

    I am going to dedicate 2006 to doing everything I can do to allow revival in this church and within the church body. It won’t be any old revival, either.

    There is an old saying: ‘Second place is okay if you don’t mind being first in a long line of losers.’ Nobody wants to be in 2nd place, do they? We all want to be in first place.
