"With men this is impossible, but all things are possible with God." (Matthew 19:26)

Year Coming to an End
Well, as 2006 is coming to an end and we get ready to embark on a new year I can't help but look back and reflect on the past twelve months.
The year 2006 has had its ups and downs, highs and lows, mountains and valleys but above all, I would like to think I have grown from all these experiences.
I'd like to touch on some of the "highlights" from 2006.
Personally, Jodi and I received one of the greatest gifts we could ever ask for, a beautiful healthy baby daughter.
Spiritually, one of the greatest days of my journey was to have two pastors whom I respect greatly lay their hands on me to confirm the call of God upon my life.
Student Ministry wise, the most exciting point to me is to have several teen leaders step up and lead other teenagers. We started our first student led worship team in 2006 which is a huge step for us. We continue to grow spiritually and numerically, steadily.
It was exciting to see Life Church continue to move forward in the direction the Lord is leading us. As we continue to grow it is exciting to see the body of Christ continue to reach out and serve more and more! It is such an honor to serve with such great leaders as we have at Life Church!
Before I leave 2006 in 2006, I am taking time to hear the voice of God and prepare my heart for what 2007 has in store.
Happy New Year!

Live the Gospel
"Preach the gospel at all times and when necesarry...use words." -unknown
Living in the "Bible Belt" here in the south, people are all too familiar with churches. They've heard the name of Jesus, they've heard verses from the Bible being quoted, and many can quote the verses quite well themselves.
Yesterday, I was so very fortunate to be apart of an outreach that actually "lived the gospel." Jesus said he didn't come to be served but to serve. People want to see the gospel LIVED! People want to hear the preaching of the gospel WALKED OUT! I'm so very thankful Life Church is a church with "legs". The vision to serve must be walked and carried out!

Jail Ministry
"God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways,
in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world." (Hebrews 1:1-2)
Last night we ministered as we usually do every month, in the Union Parish Detention Center. From the start, there were more distractions and demonic activity going on than what I am used to. It is so assuring that when you boldly proclaim God's word it radiates light even in a very dark place.
We spoke on hearing God's voice through the written word and also his "rhema" word. I don't know about you, but I desperately need to be continually hearing Gods voice! And these guys, most whom have NEVER heard God's voice, do as well!
When all was said and done, we lead four inmates to the Lord Jesus Christ! What a way for these guys to wrap up 2006 and prepare for a new life in 2007!

A Great Weekend
This past weekend was a very memorable weekend for my family and I.To start it off, we had the great honor to host my Pastor, Joel Dyke, and Pastor Billy Hornsby from South Carolina on an exciting good ole fashioned Red Cut Hunting Club adventure! Like always, Bro.Billy left with a deer in the bag! (I'm always amazed!)
Sunday, was a day I will never forget as my Pastor and Bro. Billy prayed over my wife and I as they ordained me.
.jpg)
It was a day, not to honor me, but to honor what God has done and will do. I consider myself to be blessed. Blessed because I have a family, friends, and a great home church in Life Church that means everything to me!I want to thank all who were able to attend. It was a very special day.

Never too late!
"Your daughter is dead," they said. "Why bother the teacher anymore?" Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, "Don't be afraid: just believe." (Mark 5:35-36)
"Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died." (John 11:21)
We see from two different instances in the word where people felt they were in a hopeless situation. They felt as though the "deal was sealed", "the nails were in the coffin", "the fat lady had sung". "Your daughter is dead, Lazarus is dead!" There is no overturning what has taken place, what's done is done!
Maybe you find yourself in a situation like that now, a dead situation. A hopeless situation. A situation that looks like it could never be fixed or made right.
Let me tell you these situations couldn't have seemed more hopeless, I mean these people were DEAD! You can't get anymore hopeless than that! But when Jesus comes on the scene...c'mon now as Bro.Joel would say...there is never a situation he can't reverse! Circumstances he can't reverse! Situations he can't raise from the dead! Lost people he can't raise from the dead! Finances he can't raise from the dead! A sick body he can't heal!
All we are to do is simply...believe.

Remember
“Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.” (Hebrews 13:3)
Last night in our Student Ministry we wrapped up the month of November with a message entitled, "Remember." It was a informational and educational teaching on what the Bible says about the poor and the persecuted. An estimated 200 million Christians worldwide suffer interrogation, arrest and even death for their faith in Christ, with another 200 to 400 million facing discrimination and alienation. Now I'm not talking about 2,000 years ago, I'm talking about in todays time! Can you say, "wow"! What will we do about this information? Ignore it? Act like it doesn't exist? Act like it's not happening? Or pray! Or get involved! We choose to educate our teenagers about other teenagers worldwide who are suffering. Several of our teens did a illustrative skit of what it would be like to have radical muslims storm in a service and oppose the gospel! (Great job guys!)
For the month of December, we will have the opportunity to remember the poor through the Networkers ministry of Life Church. Join us as we go to the poorest of the poor in our area and hand out free groceries. We will also have the opportunity to visit local nursing homes and love on the elderly.

2) My wife.
3) My daughter.
4) My family.
5) My health to enjoy them with.
6)Opportunity to make a living.
7) My Pastor/Mentor/Friend
8) A few people I can trully call friends in my life.
9) God's planted me in the country (where i can hunt!)
10) I know who I am
Happy Thanksgiving!

Jail Ministry
I had the privilege of accompanying Ricky Nolan of Hope Street Ministries to preach in the Union Parish Detention Center in Farmerville, Louisiana last night. Bro.Rick and I have worked off and on for the past 5-6 years in jail/street ministry. Rick has served faithfully in these areas now for over 18 years.
It is such a "rush" to bring the gospel in such a dark place as we were. The gospel brings light and freedom no matter how dark a place is;no matter how oppressed a place is;no matter how bound the captives are,the gospel sets those free to whom receive it! It is encouraging to see the attentiveness and responsiveness of the inmates. Rick and I "tag teamed" preached and then had the honor to pray for over a dozen inmates, two of which recieved salvation for the first time.
I always have such a great time but am always grateful they let me out!

Just a little while longer
Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. —2 Corinthians 4:17
During my devotion time this morning this verse really ministered to me. May it minister to those of you who are experiencing some type of trial or affliction. May you be encouraged to keep on keeping on and that it is just "alittle while longer." It's only temporary! Stay focused! Eyes on the goal! Stay the course!
Chew on the verse.

Last mile of current series...
LAST NIGHTS SERVICE
We had a powerful service in our Student Ministry last night as we completed the second part of our current series, "Speak the Language".
You know as I looked around last night I was encouraged to see a room full of teenagers. We haven't seen "explosive" growth over night but it has been consistent and it has been steady. I've seen teenagers develop into Godly leaders who are now and will lead one day. We have a great "team" of leaders that helps "get it done" every week. As I see more and more teenagers begin to respond to God's word and God's call to "come follow him" I am encouraged.
UPCOMING EVENTS
We will be playing an extreme game of paintball this Saturday at 1:00 P.M. at the Northgate Paintball off of I-165. We will all meet at the facility at 1:00 P.M. and will play until about 3:00 P.M. The church will cover the cost to get in ($8). Come sling some paint!
We wrap up our series next week on a message entitled, "The Rut"- Lust, Love, and Sex. We aren't holding anything back next week! Also, don't forget about the cool hunting giveaways we've been giving out each week! And yes, girls we have some for you as well!

I see dead deer...
"Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature (deer) that moves on the ground." (Genesis 1:28) paraphrase mine
The next several months are the most favorite of the year for me. You possibly will see my entrie wardrobe change to camouflage for a while. This past week was a full-filling one for me while I spent a few mornings and afternoons in the woods taking advantage of the cooler weather. Myself and my brother in law went hunting after the white-tailed deer this past week and three deer later...well, let's not get into a long story here. Let's just say we got our meat in the freezer so now it's time to hunt the big boys!
We continue with our current series for the month tomorrow night (Wednesday) with a message entitled, "Speak the Language". It is based out of I. Corinthians 10:22-23. "I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings."
Now if I'm trying to call in a white-tailed deer would I use a turkey call? If I was trying to call in (reach) a turkey would I use a grunt call? Of course not! So why is it as Christians we do that when trying to reach the lost? Speak the language!
Come on out this Wednesday night where we will experience an encounter with the Holy Spirit through worship, a life changing message that only the Word of God could bring, awesome friendships, and cool giveaways!
See ya there!

New Series for the month of November!
We will begin an exciting new series this November in the Student Ministry entitled, "Speak The Language."Next Wednesday November 1, I will be teaching on a message entitled, "Camouflage."
So many times we hide behind so many things in our lives...we "camouflage" ourselves!
It's going to be an exciting service and series! Since it's "Camo Night" be sure and come dressed in your favorite camouflage! There will be free giveaways and funny videos to help relay the gospel!
See you there!

The Will of Suffering
"He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering...Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities: the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed...Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer..." (Isaiah 53:2-5;10)
Why so much talk lately on trials, trouble, and suffering?! Sometimes we minister best when it is ourselves that are experiencing these things. Doesn't the Bible say in II. Corinthians 1:4 that "God is the Father of compassion and who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have recieved from God."?
The Bible said that Jesus was a man "familiar with sufferings". Do you feel sometimes "familiar with sufferings?" The Bible is full of stories of great men and women of the word who were "familiar with sufferings." Think of Moses, Joseph, Daniel, Elijah, John the Baptist, John the Revelator, and of course...Jesus!
So many times we go through trails or sufferings in our lives and we quickly begin to rebuke the devil. Did it ever occur to us our trials may not be stimming from the devil but...Jesus? In Isaiah it says, it was the Lords will to "crush him and cause him to suffer." But why would God allow that? Remember in Matthew it says, "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness...for great is your reward in heaven." I believe if we follow Jesus (regardless of popular teachings) we will suffer and go through trials. Wait, then why should I follow Jesus, that doesn't sound too fun! Remember, we came to Jesus in pursuit of forgiveness, not happiness!
I believe when we are "crushed and experience suffering" God himself is trying to strain the "us out of us". We trully can't be used to the capacity the Father wants to use us in unless..."we die" as Paul would put it. I believe out of intense suffering the man or woman of God is trully manifested.
Back in the day, the way to get the oil out of the grapes was to "crush them". I believe its the same today, the way to get the oil (annointing) out of us is that we be "crushed". Get the us out of us, the me out of me, the flesh to submit, and allow the will of the Father to come forth!
If you are going through it I encourage you to be faithful! The most important thing is our obedience to the Father, even through trials and suffering!

The Blessing of Trouble
"In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord." (Psalm 77:2)
Do the words "blessing" and "trouble" go together??? Many times we think of the phrase "being blessed" means that no hard times come our way. That couldn't be further from the truth. What bigger blessing could there be than to have trouble come our way and it push us to seek after a closer relationship with God! Fun to go through? No! Good for us? Yes! If we allow it!
The cold hard truth is, if it weren't for difficult times or "trouble" some of us wouldn't seek after the Lord. Sometimes, God has to allow hardships to come our way to humble us and cause us to turn our hearts in burning passion to him!
A few days ago we had a powerful storm come through our area. Many people got up to 10 inches of rain that day. It was dark, stormy, and gloomy that day! Trees were down, roofs were leaking, and streets were filled with water. The next day I woke up and couldn't help but realize how beautiful the morning looked. Birds singing, blue skies, and a bright yellow sunshine! The day before was quite different but today was a new day! The moral of the story? The good thing about storms are they pass!
Maybe you are going through troublesome times right now. At work. In your marriage. Financially. May your heart be turned in seeking the Lord and this storm too shall pass!

California Adventure Park Finale
New York Life rented out the entire park for a "private party" for all the NYL agents and thier families. It was a lot of fun! We will be returning to West Monroe tomorrow. Enjoy the pics!
Laguna Beach and my new car!!!
Guess what!? Jodi got me a red 2006 Ford Mustang convertible for our "4th" Anniversary! (Well, I have it until 9 A.M. tomorrow morning but we won't tell anybody)
Jodi got a great deal on a rental car (only $50 for the day) and we spent the day at Laguna Beach. The day started out with lots of "haze" but cleared out by the afternoon. We threw the top back and cruised on the Pacific Coast. It was cool. Enjoy the pics!
