Electricity & Iguanas

Got a call on Monday evening from our VBS Team trying to setup. They found that there was no power in the Church. This, as you can imagine, in South Florida heat was unbearable to work in. but they stuck at it and cleaned out the refrigerator. Praise God for their willingness to be used.

I was not able to make it out that evening so a retired elder of the church went out to check to see if he could get the power back on. He brought the necessary tools and also a family member but he was not able to get the power back on. Praise God for his willingness to be used by the Lord.

I arrive the next day with the electrition, also a church member,only to find a green iguana outside the church waiting for me to open the door. The Electrician and his nephews spent several hours with me trying to diagnose the problem. When we finally figured it out we recognize that we had to call the power company to come and fix a transformer behind the church. Thank God for their time that they spent in the service of the Lord.

I can’t forget our treasurer who willingly answered his phone while at work and then contacted his wife in order to get the electric company out to fix the transformer.

The power was restored and had a wonderful prayer meeting. As for the iguana… we let it go its merry way.

Great quote that gets to the heart of the quality of human interaction.

“I often ponder over the nature of true human sincerity, true transparency… It is a rare and difficult thing; and how much it depends on the person who is listening to us! There are those who pull down the barriers and make the way smooth; there are those who force the doors and enter our territory like invaders, there are those who barricade us in, shut us in upon ourselves, dig ditches and throw up walls around us, there are those who set us out of tune and listen only to our false notes, there are those for whom we always remain as strangers, speaking an unknown tongue. And when it is our turn to listen, which of these are we exactly…?”

Utopia

Isaiah 11: 9:  They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

Many have tried to find solutions and means by which a peaceful existence could be realized on earth. Whether on a global or localized scale they all have failed to last. This verse tells us the reason. The reason peace will come to the earth is not for lack of law enforcement or resources, but lack of knowledge. The knowledge of the Lord, and not just a passing knowledge but a knowledge that engulfs, overwhelms all who dwell on the earth. This is where peace finds its nurture and growth.

Prayer: Lord, may my heart, my mind, my home, my relationships be so filled with the knowledge of You, that I may be considered Your Holy Mountain.

Welcome!

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!

It’s long over due for me to have an official place on the web to present an organized collection of my experiences, testimonies, failures, triumphs – all to the Glory and Honor of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!  I pray you’ll come back often and that you’ll be blessed by the content of this website.  To the members of the two church’s God has ordained and charged me to lead – it is my intention and heartfelt  joy to be the conduit through which God can bring you into a saving relationship with him day by day.

But this is what the LORD says: “Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save.
Isaiah 49:25
