Reflections-

January 5th, 2010
  • I am amazed at the amount of people that said they were done running from Jesus!!
  • I am so grateful for my family, friends, staff and a church that is sold out to  reaching those that are far from God!
  • Bumper sticker is on…..had to retire the finger-
  • Praying for my friend Gary as he prays about plans for a church under his leadership
  • Praying daily Philippians 1:9-10 for each of our Pastors
  • Wondering is anyone has a sedan for Kayleigh?? ( hers was totaled, and she didn’t hit anything, go figure)
  • Lifting up each Pastors Wife because of the amazing love they have and the patience to deal with all of us!
  • Seeking God as we prepare for One Month To Live as a Church……This will blow you away!!
  • Very happy to call 3006 Martha Berry Hwy our home & very grateful to a generous Kingdom minded friend
  • Praying for God to raise up some Volunteers for Life Church in some much needed areas-
  • Praying for Wisdom as your Executive Pastor as I lead

See you next Sunday-

Christmas Parade

December 1st, 2009

While looking forward to the Christmas Parade tonight and working with the Community team, I have to confess that it is a very busy week for us at Life Church.

We are in the middle of relocating Pulse, our Student Ministry, to the Life Building and in the process of getting our new equipment and some of our existing equipment working together. Top it all off with what could prove to be one of our most important Gatherings in the coming weeks this Sunday! Dominate Rome all Tithers Sunday- We will be receiving a Dominate Offering in addition to our regular tithe- Read the Vision below and commit to praying for what God will have you do this Sunday.

I see a city where prisons are empty, the homeless have careers, divorce attorneys are out of work and the name of Jesus Christ is made famous. 

I see a city where yesterday’s drug dealers are now mentors, prostitutes are now school teachers, alcoholics are now counselors and the name of Jesus is made famous. 

I see a city where those who are far from God find healing from their past, feel loved in the present, and are given a new start for the future. 

I see a city where parents are once again role-models for their children. 

I see an army of 20,000 Christ-followers who give, pray, serve, and lead as though tomorrow is their last day on earth. 

I see a mighty outpouring of God’s favor on Rome, Georgia that is evidenced all around the world. 

I see a city where every night of the week, in every neighborhood, and every street there are families meeting together to find healing from their past, help for the present, and hope for the future. 

I see a city where divorce is not a problem, abortion is not an option, and child abuse is not an issue. 

I see a church full of different races, statuses, creeds, worldviews, who assemble for the purpose of making God look good. 

I see a city that is better for my kids, and grandkids, because they, unlike myself, never have to be afraid of standing up for Jesus. 

I see a city where the hungry have food, the naked are clothed, the underprivileged have stability, the handicapped are accepted, and the unlovable feel loved.

 I believe LIFE Church is the pioneer of this vision, and I am willing to work, pray, lead, serve, sweat, cry, and if necessary die, to see this vision fulfilled.

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 26th, 2009

We had a great day at The Floyd’s! Lunch was served around 1:00 and as usual, plenty of great dishes to taste. It was awesome to have all the family over to enjoy Thanksgiving Feast as carson calles it!. Thought I would also share a verse to reflect on today.

1 Chronicles 29:11-13:
11 Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to You. Yours, LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all. 12 Riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler of everything.  In Your hand are power and might, and it is in Your hand to make great and to give strength to all.  13 Now therefore, our God, we give You thanks and praise Your glorious name.
