About time someone voted for Dorcas on the "Who is your favorite Bible Hero?" Poll. It took a couple of days for someone to vote for her... There are still some weirdos in this world. Mission accomplished. Hehe. Just Kidding.
Poor Dorcas.

»Starting Point again!
Oh, how I love Jesus! Once again, Jesus has opened the doors for me to go preach at Starting Point Church. I went there 3 weeks in arow, and absolutely loved it. I know that it is a church that is about to experience one of the greatest moves of God... I just know it. I have been thinking about the people there... and I pray for them.
I appreciate the opportunity that Pastor Hutchins and Pastor Grigsby over at Church Of Champions have given me to go over and preach... It shows trust and I am thankful for that.
I believe Jesus will be there. I believe people will learn and apply His word. I am believing the community surrounding that little church on Aldine Mail Rd. will start experiencing God moments like never before.
Pray for me.
I am thankful.

»Leap for Joy! (Dancing in Church-Part 2)
Ok... after the post on dancing... I was meditating on some other things concerning the topic. I am careful enough not to make it a huge deal. You simply cannot make a doctrine out of the topic. It is a mistake to say that you MUST dance in worship services... but just know that if you go to a church service and the music is moving... well... MOVE!
If you go to a football game, and your team is winning, you will NOT take your laptop to watch a movie, you will cheer!
If you go to a concert, and you know the songs, you will NOT lie down and go to sleep... you will sing the songs!
If you go to church, and they are jamming with church songs, you will NOT just sit there... you will clap, dance, MOVE!
Geez.
One last thing... I always try to look at what the Scripture says about anything. I mean, the Bible is our "map."
There is a story that you are very familiar with... It is found in Acts 3:1-10. Read it. Come on you know you need to read the Bible.
"1 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the ninth hour, the hour of prayer.
2 And a man who had been lame from his mother's womb was being carried along, whom they used to set down every day at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, in order to beg alms of those who were entering the temple.
3 When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he began asking to receive alms.
4 But Peter, along with John, fixed his gaze on him and said, "Look at us!"
5 And he began to give them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
6 But Peter said, "I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene--walk!"
7 And seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened.
8 With a leap he stood upright and began to walk; and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God;
10 and they were taking note of him as being the one who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple to beg alms, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him."
Enough said. Just recognize this.
There is a lot of people that sit in church... it is "Beautiful,"The songs, the message, the peopel... "Beautiful," but they are still sick, depressed, and cannot walk. And when Jesus comes into your life and you receive healing... I promise you... you will be filled with joy... enough to go into the church and leap (dance) with praise in your lips.
Speaking for myself, I dance a liitle bit. Not as much as I used to when I was 15 years old and worship services lasted more than 4 hours... I'm not kidding about that.
I don't dance as much, but I tell you that I still worship. Just because I dance less does not mean that I do not worship... Don't be like the Pharisees. Be real with yourself and with God.
Let me check you out when you are at the restaurant and Marc Anthony comes out of the jukebox singing, "Valio la Pena.."
Whoops. Some are already saying I'm worldly.
Go pray.
For me.
Hehe.
