Getting Started

It has never been my goal or intention to have a blog.  I must confess that I rarely have read a blog unless someone has told me of some interesting comment.  My ministry team has encouraged me to do this blog.  In reality, they set this blog up then gave me the information to get on it before even talking to me.   The trip to India was a great reason to do a blog.   We will see how it goes from here on out.

I would be amazed that anyone would be interested in reading this blog, but some of my team members think that some will.  My intent is to share some things that are going on in my life and maybe some books that I am reading.  The purpose will be to encourage the body and glorify the Savior.

I just got off an ichat and then a skype with my oldest son, Jonathan who is in New York City with our youth working with the Parable Church and our own Vicki Cline.   What a great opportunity for prayerwalking and ministry in one of the most populated areas of the US.  It is exciting to see God calling people out of our local fellowship to go to places where there is little or no access to the gospel.

This week will be the second sermon in our new sermon series “Reaching Generation Next Now.”  I have also selected this as our theme for our Arkansas Baptist State Convention for this year’s annual meeting.  Our focus this Sunday at FBC Rogers will be on how prayer will be the key strategy to reaching this generation with the gospel.  The statistics are alarming concerning how our nation is becoming more and more lost every year.   Only the power of God that is captured through prayer will reverse this declining trend.

When the preacher preaches on prayer, he comes under great conviction in his own life as to his need of being a more of a prayer warrior.  A great place for me to start a personal prayer revival is Psalm 51 which is David’s personal confession of sin and his need of God’s forgiveness and restoration.  God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble.  I need grace and long for His grace.  His graces calls, convinces, converts, sustains, conforms, and keeps—His grace is amazing.  I need grace in my praying.   Until next time.  Wes
