Today I continue to soak in all that I saw and heard yesterday, and I am trying to rest up a bit it was a 14 hour day and today we have the radio program and the funeral for our friend Angelo Winfields mother, please keep the family in your prayers. What a glorious day it was in our Lord! I’m so grateful to see and hear the reports coming in from all over the world on the powerful movement of the Holy Spirit on Resurrection Sunday! Even NBC News did a report of Resurrection Sunday services from all over the world! It teared me up to see Christians in Syria celebrating Resurrection Sunday in their “bombed out” churches. What courage they have! PRAISE GOD! I was blessed to give the message at the Baptist Church in Reserve, New Mexico yesterday! It was an extreme blessing. I have come to love the folks in Reserve, they are so very special to me, they bless me! I have included a picture here of Children’s Church with Deacon Charles McCargish. Charles has built by hand and out of rock “the tomb”, and here he is telling the story of the “empty tomb” My only regret was not getting a picture of the tomb up close for you, excellent craftsmanship by Charles. He said, “God guided my hands” God guided the service yesterday in Reserve, just like He did all over the world. I love being a circuit preacher, traveling for Jesus. We had a wonderful time of fellowship and worship in Reserve, I love the church in rural America! It thrill’s me to think of all of the thousands of smaller churches around the country that gathered for Resurrection Sunday…and all those people that accepted Jesus Christ for the first time! On my drive to Reserve, I stopped in Magdalena at the Baptist Church and joined in on the sunrise service there with all my friends for a bit! I even got one of Pastor Paul Holt’s world famous pancakes! But, just stop a moment and thank our Lord for all the churches around the world that had their doors open for Resurrection Sunday, no matter the size, they have their doors open year round, proclaiming the good news of our Risen Savior! I have included pictures of Deacon Charles McCargish and the children, a picture from the sunrise service in Magdalena and some scenery from this road trip including of the antenna array outside of Magdalena. I leave you with this: Do you realize that Jesus never corrected, withdrew, or amended any statement He ever made? I wish I could say that! Jesus Christ never apologized for anything He ever did or said! The perfect role model! Amen! PRAISE GOD! Please continue to tell the world about JESUS! , that perfect man! May God Bless you and yours forever and ever!
Say a prayer each day for the small churches of America, the back bone of our country!
Ps…I shared yesterday in my sermon that the state’s biggest newspaper missed the story of Resurrection Sunday in their Sunday edition, but thank the Lord for Hobby Lobby, they took out their annual full page ad to declare the GOOD NEWS OF OUR RISEN SAVIOR! PRAISE GOD!
