“Jesus, Jesus, Jesus there’s just something about that Name.”  Brit Hume is right; the two most explosive words in the English language are Jesus Christ.  When we worship and call on the name of Jesus and reach out to others as He has clearly commanded us, we are inviting trouble into our lives.  On Jan. 29 I spoke to a group of college students from Texas A&M at the Central Baptist Church.  The next morning I went to the gym downstairs to get a workout in before my plane flew back to Fort Smith, AR.  When I got to the gym the alarm was sounding, lights were flashing, and a taped message was warning everyone of a fire and telling us to evacuate.  I went back upstairs to the front desk and heard one of the employees ask should we call 911 and the other lady said yes call 911.  I asked if they would like for me to go back to the gym because there were people exercising with headphones on and watching TV.  The lady asked me please go and tell them.  When I told them what was happening this man and woman looked at me with great disgust; you could tell they were not happy that I interrupted them.  They never said thank you to me; they just huffed and puffed and walked out the door.   You know, that is exactly the way it is in some evangelistic encounters.  We try to tell those in eternal imminent danger and they look at us with disgust in essence telling us to leave them alone.

I am grateful to God and for all His blessings in my life.  His hand of favor is upon our church and we are experiencing some great days of ministry.  God continues to open doors for me to preach with DFEA.  On Feb. 1 I took two men in my discipleship group with me as I preached at FBC Hatfield AR, and we had a great time.

Ashley and the kids are doing great and I am so proud of them and their love for Christ and the stand they take for Him each day.

Blessed,

Danny

Romans 1:16

A missionary friend wrote this line, "Aslan is on the move."  Aslan is the lion in C. S. Lewis' work The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.  She was saying that God was moving in her country and she was grateful for the Lord's working, and Aslan is indeed on the move!  God reigns in this world and He cannot be stopped!  

I went to the funeral home for visitation tonight of one of our members here at FBL; Mrs. Jessie Harkreader would have been 100 years old on August 9.  She played a game at her assisted living home then took a nap and went in the presence of Christ.  I was able to share Christ with a family member at the funeral home and pray he comes to Christ.

We had a wonderful day at FBL yesterday, January 24th.  God continues to bless us, and we are most grateful. Brother Jamie Freeman did a great job preaching to us on the goodness of God in suffering.  Jamie has cerebral palsy, and God is greatly blessing and using him.  "Do whatever you want to do in my life Lord to bring You more glory" -- wow, that is profound.

Today I got a note from a lady in Niagara, Wisconsin who watched our broadcast on DirecTV yesterday.  It was neat hearing how God spoke to her though the broadcast.  I've also recently heard from a missionary friend in Thailand who thanked me for our webcasts.  I stand amazed at how God continues to use us in ways that we do not even realize.  Blessed be His holy name!

Please pray for me if you read this blog as I travel to College Station, TX on Friday to speak to some college students at Central Baptist Church on the importance of sharing Christ.  Monday night I travel to FBC Hartsfield, AR to preach in their revival service.

Church, I am praying for our March 14-17, 2010 Spring Bible Conference!  As the Lord wills, this will be a great time of encouragement and challenge from some of the finest preachers in America.  Please plan to come and bring a friend with you.

I love you and thank you for your prayers and support for us!
