Exactly one week ago today, I was unimpressed by Twitter. I didn't see the point, and went as far as to mock the entire premise of keeping "followers" updated with the minutiae of one's life. In fact, I set up at Twitter account back in July and then just didn't follow through because I didn't see the point. But then I read a book last Saturday night that changed my perspective. I'm still not too impressed with the idea of status updates, but I might be coming around. What I'm more excited about is being able to leverage this technology for the church. In fact, I'm planning on talking about this at our next InterMission . In the meantime, if you want, you can sign up to "follow" me on Twitter. ("Follow" is the twitter term for receiving status updates from someone.) This will give you a small peek into the life of a pastor. If you'd rather not set up an account, you can just sign up to follow me from your phone using your t...

I know that some of your SRCers took up a Bible read-through challenge at the beginning of this year. That seems like such a long time ago, doesn't it, especially as we get into the thick of our family and work schedules. Our hectic schedules make it easy to lay aside the Bible read-through challenge. I hope you won't give up. Personally, I'm a little behind the schedule I wanted to follow, but I'm determined to follow through. It's amazing how much I'm learning from this read-through. In future posts, I'll blog about some of the things God is showing me. Happy reading!

I know I've said this before, but I'm really enjoying the Sunday night study on prayer. Tonight's teaching was excellent. I'm excited about putting into practice what we learned. After this morning's message on water baptism, I'm offering amnesty to anybody who has not been baptized yet! Seriously, though, if you've delayed getting baptized, don't put it off any longer. No more excuses. If you're serious about God, get serious about water baptism. Had some great fellowship tonight after the Evening Service. This on the heels of some great fellowship with some of the guys last night after praise practice. I love our Solid Rock Church family! Have a great week!

Today is a very sad anniversary. Thirty-six years ago today, the Supreme Court handed down a ruling that legalized abortion in our country. Pro-choice (pro-abortion) organizations are marking today with celebrations, but the reality is that it marks a tragic day that changed our country forever. Please take the time to read this article from the current issue of Today's Pentecostal Evangel.

We've been watching Ryan play a lot of games for Cornerstone during this basketball season. He's actually playing on two teams--the Jr. High and High School teams. As you can see from the following pictures, he doesn't always get a lot of playing time on the High School team.

I loved tonight's service! The prayer time at the altar was real and powerful! I'm really enjoying the Sunday night series on prayer. If you made a decision at the beginning of the month to read through the Bible, let me encourage you to keep it up despite any obstacles which may arise. Don't get discouraged if you fall behind. Just determine that you'll keep going. We're still a month or so away from starting our Spring session of small groups, but in the meantime, we're having a men's small group meeting on Wednesdays at 7:00 at the church. The presidential inauguration this week gives us an opportunity to pray for our new President and the incoming Congress. Let's pray that they would seek God for wisdom as they lead our nation. May God bless America. Have a great week!
