PAST:
Sunday was another of many incredible days at LCC! WOW, was God all over or what? First of all, the choir sounds GREAT! Nancy Coates and Susan Fortin hit their solo's at all 3 services, thanks for sharing your gifts with us! The band, well, WE ARE JUST SO BLESSED! We had some "glitches" with technology, sound issues and server confusion, but even in that, God was praised, and genuine worship took place. I was shocked at how full the worship center was for second service. I mean first service was good and third service was pretty full, but second was packed. I know that some of it was the fact that many people thought it was 11 and not 10, but still, it was cool. The total attendance was really great! Giving was "off the charts"! The message about the foundation of LCC really challenged and encouraged many folks! David and Julie Mock rededicated their commitment to the Lord and His church at the conclusion of the 3rd service! We were blessed to meet many new families as well as see many, many, many faces return to share with us again. Sunday school classes were full! NP-3 had 35 kids in the third service (and they got to sit in the brand new chairs)!! Finally, people were thrilled to hear that we let Holly Kern go as our Administrative Assistant and then hired her full time as our Director of Children's Ministry!!! WELCOME HOLLY! God is soooo good! I just love serving as the minister at Loveland Christian! What an awesome family of God! YOU ALL ROCK!!!!!
PRESENT:
I am totally chilled out, watching Monday Night Football, eating Halloween candy, drinking sweet tea and blogging! Does it get any better than this?
FUTURE:
Tomorrow is election day. I have remained silent about my choice and will continue to remain that way until I cast my vote tomorrow. We, as a church, and myself, as a minister have done as much as could be done to inform, teach Biblical Worldview, educate, and encourage everyone to exercise their freedom and privilege to vote first as a Christian, second as an American and finally as a "party". Remember, no matter where you sit in politics, be sure to read God's Word and pray long before you enter that booth. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
In conclusion, I want to share 10 points that were e-mailed to me today from Danielle Temple. She heard these given in a sermon at her mom's church in Northeast Ohio. Bottom line, no matter who wins tomorrow, these things will continue to be true:
1. The Bible will still have all the answers.
2. Prayer will still work.
3. The holy Spirit will still move.
4. God will still inhabit the praises of His people.
5. There will still be God-anointed preaching.
6. There will still be singing of praise to God.
7. God will still pour out blessings upon His people.
8. There will still be room at the cross.
9. Jesus will still love you.
10. Jesus will still save the lost.
WOW!
B. OUT!!
