For several weeks many of us have been encountering God in a powerful way while we do our daily readings in “Draw the Circle: The 40 Day Prayer Challenge.” I’ve spoken with several individuals who are now going through it a second time. One woman told me yesterday, “It’s changed my life” – not the… Read More »
Prayer in Target
Thursday afternoon I bumped into David Harmon at Target. During our conversation he told me about two prayer requests God had put on his heart and how he had drawn a circle around them as a symbol of his commitment to pray daily for each concern. He was excited because God had answered both prayers.… Read More »
Wow! What a night!
“Wow!” “We were really moved by our prayer time last night.” Those are the opening words of two of the emails I’ve received today about last night’s “TELL GOD YOUR REQUESTS FOR 2015” prayer event. As members quietly moved among the twelve prayer stations at their own pace it was obvious God was touching hearts.… Read More »

Amazing! Awesome! Blown Away! WOW! Those are just a few of the words that can be used to describe last night’s Trunk or Treat @ FBC. Praise God for His incredible blessings. He kept the rain away, as we had prayed. He brought the largest crowd to FBC for any event in our history. We… Read More »

During a special worship service last night Brad Hughes and David Gardner were ordained and it was a meaningful time of worship for me. There is something special about men being set aside for ministry as Jesus’ servants. We do… Read More »
DAD Made People Smile
Tears and smiles accompanied the soreness felt by 1,412 patients treated during the Dental Access Days @ First Baptist last week. About $950,000 in free services were provided by more than 300 dental professionals, supported by hundreds of community volunteers from about 20 local churches and agencies. More than 300 of those volunteers were from… Read More »
A Child Did It
One of my favorite moments during Sunday afternoon’s neighborhood blitz was watching an elementary age boy knock on a door and invite the lady of the house to our Celebration of Freedom. He gave her the American flag and an invite card with a big smile on his face. He was so motivated by the… Read More »
Prayers, Tears, and Encountering God
While expressing gratitude to God for His blessings honors the Lord, it also encourages our heart. During last night’s PRAYER GATHERING people wrote some of their blessings on sticky notes and stuck them on a “Wall of Praise” (photograph below). Some of the blessings listed were “children who are saved, safe travels for family, my… Read More »
