1st Texas Sunday
Yesterday was my first Sunday at Faith as a resident Texan. Numbers were up from 115 to 154 in morning worship and from the low 70s to 88 in Sunday School. I know when a pastor first comes to town numbers go up because people want to see what tricks the new monkey can do. But it doesn't matter to me, just happy to be here. I can't describe Faith other than to say there is freedom here. Freedom to preach and be heard, freedom to shout, raise your hands, clap or worship anyway that you are led. This is a very different Baptist church to say the least. I have come to a point were I don't feel obligated to try the newest thing to make the church better, this church will make me better. Shouldn't that be the goal of a church with a new/young pastor; make him better so that he can lead better? I am glad it is this way in New Boston. For those of you who say "wait till the honeymoon is over" stop hating and start praying, it will do both you and me some good!

Glad you are there and enjoying it! I'm tired of everybody running with something new just because it sounds good. Let's just listen to God and let Him lead the way. I'm not against New-obviously if you know me... BTW I'm preaching on something New tonight-A New Universe! Rev. 21
1. A new heaven and earth
2. A new climate
3. A new atmosphere
4. A new attitude
This place is going to be amazing! The sinners, demons, and the devil are all cast into the lake of fire. With no Sin and no Satan what are we going to do!!! A think a little bit (maybe a lot) of worship!
Do you know how proud of you I am? Well, I'm really proud that you're my big brother!
