Tonight I have the opportunity to address the group of students, doctors and nurses and sponsors who are on the mission trip to El Paso. What do you say to a group of folks who have taken a week of their time to travel hours from their homes in order to minister to people they [...]

God Is Already At Work
Posted in Community, Hope, Missions on May 15, 2012 | 1 Comment »
I am always reminded when I have the opportunity to participate in a mission trip, that God is already at work long before we show up. I remember when I did my first trip like this fifteen years ago or so. I went with the attitude that I had something to give and the people [...]
Stethoscopes and Roofing Nails
Posted in Church, Community, Missions on May 14, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
What do stethoscopes, roofing nails, Bibles, drywall and a dentist chair have in common? Give up? The annual Baptist Student Ministry from South Plains College mission trip to El Paso. This week, about 100 college students, doctors, dentists and others will join forces to offer free clinics, do minor construction and share the love and hope of [...]
Go Make a Difference

If you read the headlines today, you will see things like “nuclear armament,” “solar storm,” and “severe drought.” It would be easy to pick up a paper or surf the web this morning and become very overwhelmed with all the problems we face. Personally you have a lot on your plate – activities with the [...]
How Will They Know?
Posted in Community, Hope, Missions on February 27, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
As believers, we should understand that we have something that others are missing. That should not make us proud – it doesn’t make us better than anyone else. In fact, it makes us obligated. We are obligated to share what we know. We are mandated to spread love and truth and hope everywhere we go. [...]
Service in the Midst of Threats

I had a unique opportunity last night. As many of you who read my ramblings on a regular basis may know by now, I am involved fairly heavily in mission efforts to the El Paso, Texas area. In the past, before the violence became so severe in Juarez, Mexico, I led groups into Mexico as [...]
Make It Count

It’s Monday and we have the whole week ahead of us! What will you do with this week? What will you do with this day? Everyday is a blessing – a gift from God. We are not guaranteed a tomorrow but as followers of the Way, we are guaranteed that God will always be with [...]
Thank a Hero
Posted in Community, Hope, Missions on June 16, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
As I drove to work this morning, Skillet was on the radio singing about needing a hero. As I listened to that song, I thought about heros. The first ones that came to mind were all the volunteers that helped us out with Vacation Bible School this week. We had over 50 people donate their [...]
Redemption Partners
Posted in Church, Hope, Missions on June 6, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Yesterday, I preached on the fact that when we think about the mission of our church, we need to see the bigger picture. We really need to think more along the lines of God’s mission having a church rather than our church having a mission. The reason for the very existence of a church is [...]
Part of Something Bigger
Posted in Community, Hope, Missions on May 25, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
You know how you hear a song time and time again, and then one day you actually listen to the words. I did that yesterday on my commute home. I had the radio on and the volume pretty low – which according to my wife, is not normal. But I caught myself singing along and [...]
