Convicted Inspiration









Tonight Tracie and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner and fellowship with David & Sally Whitaker and their 5 kids and extended family members........



David and Sally found the Lord only a few years ago and now are building a church from the ground up, Hope Tabernacle....

David quit his job as VP in a major home building firm a few days ago and is walking by faith....

Sally told us tonight that a great portion of his decision was inspired by a past post on RKS Upclose, Solution for Revival........

Tonight after dinner in their home when asked if I wanted dessert I told them what I wanted was a tour of their church......

They were shocked and excited so we quickly ate and forgot about the pie and took off to the church....

I was inspired and convicted....

Oh how I remember the early days of starting our church....

David and Sally were hungry for any and all ideas....

Tracie and I loved sharing with them.....

But when David told me he was giving a $5k offering to Christmas for Christ....

I was convicted....

How does a home missions church do this???

And can I let this home missions church do more than our church????

Look out CUPC!!!

I am impressed and inspired by the success the Whitaker family is finding in this prime area as they pursue the calling God has placed in their hearts....

David and Sally have risen to the challenge, and in their simple and humble approach finding more success than others much more pedigreed were able to.....

God needed a man and his family in Montgomery Texas...

God found his man in Pastor David Whitaker.....

David and Sally Whitaker are living the dream of walking by faith and seeing God perform the miraculous.....

I am a better man tonight......

Blessings....

No Man An Island


400 years ago John Donne penned these famous words....

No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.


They still ring true...

No man is an island unto himself....

We each are but a small part of a much larger picture....

We need each other...

After spending a few days away at the General Conference and then this week being at Texas Bible College...

I am reminded of our need for the body....

Isolation and loneliness are the greatest killers of Apostolic ministers...

We need each other...

Divide & Conquer is the age old tactic of our enemy....

But if I can get to a brother....

If a sister can connect with a sister.....

If one can put 1,000 to flight and 2 can put 10,000...

How many devils can a host of Apostolic ministers and their wives defeat....

We need each other....

I am thankful for the new unity I am sensing amid the United Pentecostal Church....

A united United Pentecostal Church is a guaranteed Maalox Moment for the devil....

Brothers & Sisters following this blog....

Reach out to another man or woman of God this week and unite with them....

We need each other...

Together we are better and stronger.....


Blessings...
