In light of Perry’s comments on Sunday about racism, we have had a few emails and calls on the subject.  I thought I would share this Q&A with you about this issue:

Jesus Is Coming Back

05Oct09

The truth that Jesus is coming back was the focus of my most recent article for the Anderson Independent:

Jesus is coming back. I don’t know if that has been something you have thought about this week, but it is true. One of the main topics we get questions about at our church is the End Times, and what the Bible has to say about the return of Christ.

Q: I have an addiction to pornography and I know I need to take steps to stopping it. i was wondering if you could tell me how to stop the habit.  It would be great to know what someone else has done that has helped them overcome this issue.

Q&A: Are My Dreams Sinful?

22Sep09

Q: I am a married man and very much in love with my wife.  We communicate well and there are no secrets between us.  I mention that because I want you to understand that she and I have already spoken about this and she knows everything.I am faithful to my wife and we are very intentional and conscientious about living lives that draw us closer to God.  While I have always been faithful in flesh, I have had a string of recent dreams where I have been adulterous.

Kenya Trip

07Jul09

On June 11-20 I had the honor of going on my second trip to Kenya.  I am going to share thoughts from both of those trips soon.  My friend Will Rodes was on that trip and put together an incredible video to share what we experienced in Kenya with everyone at NewSpring this past Sunday.

While we were in Kenya we got to work on 2 major projects that you will see in the video.  The first project was fixing a large concrete water tank.  The tank had a lot of deep cracks in it that we had to chisel out and repair and we also cleaned out the inside of the tank and patched holes.  Very soon the pump for the water source that fills this tank will be repaired and a community of around 1,000 people will not have to walk miles any longer to get water.

The other project we did was to pave the floor of a school with concrete.  We started by digging out the current dirt floor that was in the school and then finding and placing large rocks as a foundation for the floor.  Then we mixed the concrete by hand on the ground and used wheelbarrows to pour the concrete for the floor.   As a result over a hundred children that attended that school no longer have to sit all day with their feet in the dirt, this was enabling a parasite that lived in the dirt to enter under the children’s toenails and eat away at their  feet; The new concrete floor will help to alleviate that problem for the children.
