A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

  • It was a two-fer day! We worshiped at Kissimmee Christian Church this morning and attended the Grand Opening of the new addition of Fairway Christian Church this evening.
  • Celebrated the baptisms of 4 people this morning, this never gets old.
  • Shawn continued his series from the book of Acts this morning, focusing on the 6th Chapter.
  • Key Point, Sometimes the most God honoring this you can do is say NO!

  • Also another key point; Remember, every person has three items; Purpose, Mission and an Assignment.
  • Your purpose never changes, your mission may change and your assignment constantly changes as you grow in Christ.
  • I guess you can say I got several take-aways this morning.
  • Tonight it was good to see what God is doing through Fairway Christian Church. 
  • Butch's prayer of dedication reminded the people the building is simply a tool, the church is tool for reaching people for Christ. Amen!
  • It was a blessing to see what God is doing across the state of Florida.

Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

  • I had the privilege of preaching at Ocala Christian Church this morning.
  • We looked at Philippians 1, focusing on the topic of Joy Stealers.
  • Paul faced three circumstances that could have robbed him of joy: the chains, the critics, and the choice. But praise God—he chose joy.
  • This week I was reminded how quickly an ordinary day can turn tragic. Some very dear friends of mine lost their granddaughter, and their pain is heartbreaking. Yet, I am thankful that our God provides comfort even in the most difficult circumstances.
  • As their son wrote on social media: God is good, even when life is not.
  • In times like these, the song by Jeremy Camp, There Will Be a Day, is a powerful reminder of the hope we have in Christ. I know this truth from personal experience.

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day…

  • We worshiped at Kissimmee Christian Church this morning.
  • Shawn began a new series covering the first ten chapters of the Book of Acts.
  • This week’s message, from Acts 1:6-8, focused on one word: WAIT.
  • A key point was that it is in the waiting that we hear from God.
  • We also witnessed the baptismal waters stir once again—it’s always a joy to see the family of God grow. 
  • Shawn’s emphasis on generosity was spot on. It’s true: when we are generous, lives are changed.
  • Lately, we’ve seen why they call Central Florida the lightning capital of the world. The recent storms have been fierce!
  • How can school be starting tomorrow already? Summer flew by for both students and teachers. 
  • Do you remember when the first day of school was always the Tuesday after Labor Day?
  • College football rankings are out—it will be interesting to see how they look come January.
  • While grocery shopping at Walmart this week, I discovered Cherry Cola–flavored Oreos. I’m sorry, but that’s just wrong!
  • Something to Chew On: An unexamined life is not worth living. ~ Socrates
