Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Preached at Fort Caroline Christian Church today on the subject of the power of the Cross. 
• We looked at the cross from the viewpoint of the soldiers at the crucifixion, and like many people, they were close to the cross but far from the Christ.
• Preaching during the passion week is always challenging, many people have read the gospel accounts so often they can fall into the danger of no longer being moved by the message of the cross.
• Some worship leaders can really fill a room with their voice; Damon is one of those worship leaders!
• Very emotional weekend for our family, dad is in the hospital, his dementia is getting worse. Dementia is such a dreaded disease. Looking forward to the day when all suffering is removed!
• If you know a nurse make sure they know how much they are appreciated!
• Once again we realized the brevity of life as a friend died in a tragic accident Thursday evening. Praying for the Attkisson family.
• I have said it before but it is worth repeating; Does anyone live up north anymore? The traffic around here is CRAZY!
• I think preaching in a small church may be one of the most challenging roles for a minister today. 
• Cap and Gowns arrived at JUFL last week; Graduation is less than 28 days away Whoop, Whoop!
• Something to Chew on; Love always involves responsibility, and love always involves sacrifice. And we do not really love Christ unless we are prepared to face His task and take up His cross ~ William Barclay
