I love Good Friday, one of my favorite days of the year. It is a day to remember the greatest act of love ever demonstrated, the day Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world. In 1 John 3:1 the Apostle writes, "Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!" Such love moves me to go tell others the Good News.

Last Thursday March 13, 2008 was an interesting day for me. I experienced all three of the responses one can give to the offer for salvation in one day. I was on a flight from Dallas to Charlotte NC and sat next to a man who said he was Jewish and I had the opportunity to speak with him for most of the flight and he really listened as I shared the message of salvation and also shared my testimony with him. He is in his early 50’s and was traveling to NC to interview with a major bank for a new job. Before we landed Bruce asked me an interesting question. He asked, when we land are you in a hurry? I said no what could I do for you? He asked if I would speak to his wife. I told him certainly. He called her on the cell phone and I was able to speak with her and prayed for her and Bruce right there at baggage claim. Later that night a local pastor and I went to eat dinner and our waitress named April came to our table and I asked could I pray for her for anything, and she said yes my marriage. I prayed then went to the restroom and when I came back Pastor Clint was sharing the Gospel with her, and right there at the table she prayed and asked Jesus Christ to be her Savior. I got a message the next week on Monday that she went to Pastor Clint’s church. Then later that night about 11:30 pm I went to my hotel and met a guy named Jay and tried to give him a Gospel tract, and he said no thanks I have enough stuff people have given me. All in one day I saw people interested in the Gospel, accept the Lord, and outright reject Him.

I continue to hear great stories of our people here at FB Lavaca reaching out and committing random acts of kindness and inviting people to our church. Keep up the great work.

For folks with DFEA-- God continues to bless and open doors to preach. Last Friday was a great day as I was able to preach 2 times at the Bailey Smith Real Evangelism Conference in Charlotte, NC. Last week I received 2 more invitations to preach in AL and VA. Please pray for me that God would use e for His glory to preach the Gospel and encourage His people, especially local pastors. These 2 opportunities to preach are in small churches of about one hundred people. I am so honored to go preach and also blessed to have a home church like FB Lavaca that wants me to go and preach the Gospel. We are also so blessed to have Bro Tony Buchanan here at FB Lavaca who does a great job of preaching. As God puts DFEA on your hearts to support this ministry financially please know we want to be a blessing to others. In fact we are about to bless 3 people as they embark upon missions. We are blessed I believe so we can be a blessing to others.

Have a great Good Friday and awesome Resurrection Sunday this Lord's Day. I believe God is going to move in a powerful way here at FBL and I pray He moves mightily at your church as well!!

Glad the Tomb is Empty!
