Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Great day of worship at Whitfield Christian Church today. 
• They have a new worship team and they do a great job leading the congregation in worship.
• Church is looking into a possible merger, praying they make the right decision. 
• I think Sarasota is one of the most picturesque spots in Florida, Especially when you get around the waterways!
• Met a possible student for JUFL today. I hope he decides to come to school in January.
• Today I preached on the life of Jonah. 
• We often hear about Jonah in children's worship or in Sunday school we forget this small book is loaded with practical lessons on accepting a call from God.
• Two important lessons from today's message, first one cannot run from God and second, God's purposes must take a priority in our life.
• Next Sunday I am preaching at Englewood Christian Church in Jacksonville for their Homecoming. Really looking forward to being with the church family at Englewood
• My niece is getting baptized tonight - Oh Happy Day!
• Came home Friday evening to 6 alumni sitting around my dining room table playing games. One of the joys of working for a university!
• I am often surprised by what the TV critics call good entertainment. 
• One more thought from this morning's message, Jonah was a prophet for the king of Israel; in other words he had the king's ear, but God did not have Jonah's heart and that is why he was willing to flee from God's call!
• Something to Chew on; “It’s important to understand that at every point of opposition to who we are or to what God has called us to do, we are presented with the options of either conforming and giving in, or standing our ground and becoming stronger in who God has made us to be” ~ Gabriel Wilson
