Back from Orlando, Fl

The past three days I have been in sunny Orlando, Florida at the Exponential Conference. There were a lot of focus on church planters instilling into their DNA missional and reproducing traits from the ground up. I will add more this weekend about the conference and how this will impact Living Hope in the days to come...

Land For Sale!

Please be in much prayer as we have learned that 25 acres have come up for sale in a fast growing area of Marysville! The farmer only wants to sell to another farmer or a church. Dublin Baptist Church recommended tonight in their quarterly business meeting to form a committee to investigate the purchase of this land!! The asking price is $600,000 or 24k an acre. Please be in much prayer about asking the Lord to either close this door or make it obvious it is His will...Will update as the Lord continues to move...

Is Sin Dead?...

A quote from Dr. Al Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky stirred my mind. In a recent article in the USA today, he said, "We find a comfort zone of morality, a kind of middle-class middle level where we think we are doing well. We cut the grass. We don't double-park. But we ignore the larger issues of sin." This mentality permeates our culture, even into some of our churches. Sin is real and must be dealth with in our culture and around the world. Praise God there is a cure for that sin problem and its the precious blood of Jesus Christ!

First Meeting

Praise the Lord there were 33 adults and 10 kids present...God is doing a great work and we believe that greater things are yet to come in the city of Marysville...to God be the glory!!

Our First Info Meeting...

That's right, next Monday night we are having our first informational meeting at the Marysville public library. It will be from 6:30-7:30 and childcare will be provided along with those all important refreshments. Please come if you are in the area and learn how you can be a part of Living Hope Church in Marysville! If you are not in town or able to come, then please be praying during this time...

The Story...

Randall Wood, the missions pastor here at Dublin Baptist asked me a question last night that has stuck with me. He asked me, "Are you writing the story of Living Hope down as it unfolds?" I had to tell him no and that I would before I began to forget. God is literally adding pages each and every day! Soon, I hope to post a link in an effort to tell the story as it has thus unfolded. As Dr. Rogers used to say, "The weakest ink is stronger than the best memory"...
