Chapter nine was fresh in my mind because I used the story of the man blind from birth that Jesus healed in a recent sermon. So as I read the chapter this time, I asked the Holy Spirit to make the words fresh in my heart and to speak to me about something other than… Read More »
Chapter Two
If one theme jumped out at me yesterday in chapter one, today the opposite was true as several different things grabbed my attention. So I did what I often do – I prayed through the chapter by taking a moment to stop and pray about what I was sensing the Holy Spirit saying to me… Read More »
Chapter One
In yesterday’s sermon I challenged everyone to choose one of the four gospels and read one chapter a day from that gospel. I mentioned that I had chosen John and would post on my blog each day what the Holy Spirit said to me as I read that from God’s word. Today I read chapter… Read More »
Sunday Highlights 10.04.2015
It’s hard to write about Sunday without mentioning the rain and the massive flooding across our state. Parts of Columbia are under water and the city was under a curfew after 6:00 pm Sunday evening. Even sections of Interstate highway have been closed. Our son, Steven, and his wife were in Myrtle Beach for a… Read More »
War Room: A Must See Movie
Tuesday evening my daughter, Jacqueline, and I saw the movie “War Room” and both of us are giving it a big thumbs up. If you haven’t seen it, you should. You will be inspired, convicted, motivated, challenged, encouraged, corrected, and several other adjectives I could choose. While watching the movie, at times you will find… Read More »
Pool Party and Going to College
My earliest memory of Sherilynn Watts is her playing volleyball with Monieca in the church’s downtown gym when she first moved here after marrying Chip. That was a number of years ago. Last night her daughter, Elise, was at our house for a pool party. With just a week’s notice, we invited this year’s high… Read More »
Thrive
Growth is a process that takes time. It also requires us to be intentional and take specific actions. A discipline God has been using in my spiritual growth the past few years is what I call “praying the scriptures” or “scriptural meditation.” I talked about this a little bit in my sermon on prayer last… Read More »
Sunday Highlights 6.07.2015
Last week our local high schools held graduation exercises for their senior classes and summer has unofficially started. Everyone is talking about vacations and travel plans…including myself. Yet a lot is happening at FBC. During Sunday’s worship services we commissioned our mission team that will fly to Birmingham, England on Monday. The team will spend… Read More »
National Day of Prayer 2015
Yesterday I participated in a National Day of Prayer event at the AME Zion Church’s Kenneth Moore Transformation Center on Saluda Street in Rock Hill. The headquarters for the church’s SC and GA districts is located there and God has blessed them with a beautiful facility that is great addition to that part of our… Read More »
Sunday Highlights 3.01.2015
It was inspiring to watch hundreds of fellow believers come to the altar this morning two different times during each of our worship services. The first time, it was to kneel in prayer for our church and our “Six In 6” Capital Campaign. The second time, it was bring our commitment cards and place them… Read More »
