As you read this letter I hope all is well with you and yours! If you are like me, you are longing for some cooler and wet weather to be on its way. I saw on the weather channel that this was the fourth hottest summer recorded with 54 days over 100 degrees. One thing for sure, change is on the way.
I believe that change is coming to the Body of Christ too. I think that we have to have change or we will continue to go in the wrong direction for the most part. I heard a preacher say the other day that we, the Christians, are a lot of the reason that we are in the mess that this nation is in.
To many have stopped preaching Jesus and the power of God through the Holy Spirit. We are raising up a generation that is a stranger to the move of God and His power. These things ought not to be so!
I believe that we are living in a day that we need to check our on hearts and see if their might be room for change in us. Maybe if we would make some adjustment it would have a positive effect on those that we come in contact with.
Our Government has certainly brought change, maybe it is time for us to bring in some change that will be for the benefit of the Kingdom of God. I hope you have a great September!
Be blessed by God’s best!

August- Word From The Word
I hope all is well with you and yours. I preached a message Sunday entitled, “Get Over It!” I think their are a lot of things in life that we need to get over so that we can move on to the things that are ahead.
Paul said, this one thing I do, forgetting the things that are behind and reach for the things that are ahead. He refers to life as being in a race and that we should run with the attitude of a winner and not a whiner.
He tells us to lay aside weights of life that can so easily ensnare us or trap us. You have never seen a runner dressed up in heavy clothing in a race. No, they wear as little as possible so that they are not hindered by the weight.
Bitterness, unforgivenes, disappointments and even failures need to be dealt with or they will become weights that can trap us and we can live that way for years.
God will help you with things that you may realize you need to deal with. Ask for His help, He knows how to give you what you need to become free from things that have been on your heart for years.

July- Word From The Word
Greeting in the name of the Lord! Wow, I do believe summer time has more than just arrived, it came in like a lion. We are praying for rain here at MCC and maybe by the time you get this letter we will have already gotten it!
The title to one of my latest messages is ”Y.S.I.N.H.” This is not Hebrew, it just means that Your Situation Is Not Hopeless!! Regardless what you may be facing, there is hope in the Word and the God of the Word! God still has a plan for your life and it is... "good, to give you a future and a hope."
In the day we live there is lots of “trash” talk going around. You hear it at the store, at work and on the news. I thought I would like to be the bearer of good news, Jesus is still the same yesterday, today and forever. He is not worried about the economy or how He will meet your needs. We sometimes forget that it is according to His riches in Glory in Christ Jesus!
Faith in the Word still pleases God. He still rewards it. If you will keep doing what you are suppose to according to the Word, God will still do His part. He doesn’t have a shortage, there is no recession in Heaven!! If you are thinking that is only good for those that are in Heaven you must have forgotten that manna came down from Heaven.
Our God is a way maker! Nothing is to difficult for Him. Your Situation Is Not Hopeless! Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through the Lord Jesus Christ. Enjoy the heat and hope you have a great Fourth of July Holiday!

June- Word From The Word
I hope that your June is starting out well. We ended May with a very busy day. We had Sunday morning church, 2 o'clock baby shower for Windy Holcomb, 4 o'clock grave side for a good friend and MCC member,Fred Jones and then at 5:30 we returned to church and feed the family. Thanks to all that had a part in blessing this family with a good meal,love and prayers.
We have been talking the last two Sundays on how real that our God is. He is not some kind of a made up character that doesn't exist. He is real and He really can be envolved in your life. I believe He wants to be envolved in every area of our lives.
When is the last time that you talked to God as you would a person in you presence? Is He that real to you? As we get older we are accused of talking to ourselves. I guess i am guilty as charged, but sometimes i just like to talk to God out loud. I don't think that is a sign of being old as much as an awareness of His ever presence.
I don't know what you may be going through today but i do know that God will be a part of it if you wil allow Him to be.
I think He longs to be welcomed into your life, every area of your life. If it concerns you then He is concerned as well. So take time to talk to God today. He is as close as the mention of His name. God bless you and have a great June.

May Word From The Word- "You Are Special"
Happy May 2009!
On a Wednesday night teaching, I talked about being special. I want you to know that you are special to God. It doesn’t matter from where you have come or even where you are at the present time, God’s love for you is steadfast. He is not a moody God and does He have "favorites". If you are Born Again then YOU are His favorite.
I have heard it said that we are all people of God. Well, as people, we are not all His children. That privilege only comes to those who chose to accept Him into their life. Once you have, then you are special because you are now one of His kids.
As Children of God, we have an inheritance. The Bible says that we are heirs of God and joint heirs through Jesus. It tells us that we have become the righteousness of God. That means that you are made right by Him. It is not something that you did, but what He did when you were Born Again.
I love all the children of our church, I really do, but the ones that belong to me, well.... you know what I mean! So it is with our God! He loves all people, but there is something special about His kids. Are you one of His? Then you are special, highly favored and blessed!

Marching Along
As we enter into the middle of March, how great it would be to march into all that God has in store for us. I was reading in Psalm 5:12 how that God says He surrounds the righteous with favor as with a shield.
Think about that, right now you are surrounded with God's favor. Reguardless which way you turn, there His favor is made available to you.
Our part is to believe that this is true because His word says it is.You may not look or feel favored at the moment but your faith in His word can cause things to turn around.
Declare this with me in faith,"Lord I choose to walk in your favor,Your benefits, blessings, and favor surround me. I will not worry, be afraid, or be stressed.Your word declares that you are for me, then who or what can overcome me."
