My daughter, Peyton, was hit really hard in the head during the final minutes of her soccer game. She was unconscious for at least 10 minutes. Ambulance has her and I am following behind. I believe it is a very bad concussion
Please pray.
Thank you for the prayers for my daughter, Peyton.
She is still experiencing symptoms from the head injury Friday night.
Nausea, Occasional vomiting, headaches and some chest tightness.
I would ask for continued prayers from my Twitter friends on our behalf.
I sure love
Cool story.
In 2018, our church went through a terrible church fire. I lost my entire library and all of my preaching Bibles except one that I had at home. It was such a tough time for me personally because of the personal loss but also watching our church go through that tough
92% of churches in America are under 250 in attendance.
Stop fretting about growing a large church and start determining to grow a healthy church.
Churches are dying because Biblical preaching has been shoved to the back row.
PREACH THE WORD!
You watch a preacher long enough, he will disappoint you.
You attend a church long enough, it will let you down in some way.
You serve in a ministry for some time, you will get hurt.
All of these are true but it does not mean you quit, get bitter or leave.
It does mean
Youth Sports is a god in America.
Parents don’t think twice about their kids missing church on Sundays to play ball.
Then wonder why some of them struggle with attending church services in their 20’s.
Wake up.
There’s a generation of Millenial pastors who stands for the sake of the gospel.
Our doctrine is not for sale.
Our preaching is passionate.
Our churches are unique.
Our outreach is a priority
Our discipleship is a must
Our worship is wonderful
No camps. No circles. Just Jesus.
Divine Appointment.
Anthony came to buy some Jeep tires and wheels that I was selling and we talked Jeeps for a good while.
I then was able to talk to him about Jesus. We prayed together and Anthony believed the Gospel for salvation.
He now is my Jeeping friend and brother

"Hey Pastor, could we talk?"
★★★★★
"Hey Pastor, could I ask you a quick question next week? Nothing bad, just wanted your advice on ____”
One question probably reminds your pastor of an ambush in his past.
The other leaves him thankful.

If you need a reason to dislike me, I’m pro-Jesus, I’m pro-family, pro-Church, pro-America, pro-military, pro-law enforcement, pro-gun, and there’s only two genders. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Will my twitter friends please pray for my assistant pastor?
Been having some health issues and test.. he found out today that he has Thyroid cancer.
His name is Lee Franklin.
Thank you.
I know two men in our community that went to get tested for Covid.. they signed in but the wait was so long that they left. They were called two days later that they tested POSITIVE for Covid.
Something is not right. 🤔
Had a member of my church call this afternoon under heavy conviction. He said, “Pastor, if I don’t get saved today, I’m afraid I will go to hell tonight.” I stopped by his house and lead Him to Jesus. He is praising God tonight! 🙌🏻
Met a fellow Jeeper today while getting the old Jeep Cleaned up.
While talking Jeeps we then turned to world events and religion. He then said, “I wish someone could save me..”
I told him that I could not but that Jesus could and a few minutes later.. Steve received Christ! 💪🏻
Y’all remember those kids that used to kick and scream in the floor of the grocery store and you were like..”God help us all when they grow up..”
Well.. they have grown up.
If you preach in a suit and tie or sneakers and jeans, I am for you as long as you preach the Word.
Let’s get over the silliness and preferences.
Preach the Word.
Today is one the greatest days of my life.
My youngest, Colbie Ray, received Jesus Christ as her Lord and Saviour a few minutes ago! Nothing in the world compares to the joy of seeing your children come to Christ!
Thank you to every children’s worker/teacher that influences.
I stand with the victims of abuse and scandals within our Baptist movement. It is a shame that so many have been hurt and then told to be silent.
I stand against any preacher that sides with abusers and cover ups.
It’s time we speak up and speak out against abuse of any kind.
My desire. 👇🏼
No camp. No circle. No conference. No affiliation with a certain college.
Just pastoring and loving my family and church.
No personal agendas. No building my kingdom. No “preach for me if I preach for you” nonsense. No gaining more followers.
Just preaching The
Someone sent me this pic today of my dad running doors this morning on his bus route. Unbelievable!
He has pastored the same church 39 years and still loves and rides his bus route. 💪🏻
I think we should go back and start using biblical terms like “with child” instead of “pregnant”.
Especially, in the days that we are living in with people wanting to claim that life does not begin at conception.
Abortion is evil. Period.
Alcohol consumption NEVER makes a situation better, a family stronger or a prodigal desire to come home.
I will attend a funeral this week of a wasted life because of alcohol and drug abuse.
Stay away from it. Period.
My desire is to lead a thriving, balanced and biblical church in these days of apathy and apostasy.
I cautiously want to avoid both pitfalls of legalism and lasciviousness.
I am for anyone who is preaching the Gospel of Jesus, baptizing and discipling new believers.
Have you ever wondered what a church full of Pharisees would be like?
1. They would all attend every service.
2. They would all tithe.
3. They would all work in the church.
4. They would all go to Hell!

I am not leaving Twitter until they force me out.. We need Christians to stay on here and post scripture, encouragement from the Lord and other things about Jesus.

In church growth..
Not every subtraction is a loss and not every addition is a gain.
Families will leave but it will not always be bad.. families will join but it will not always be good.
Stay faithful.
The typical three point preaching of today is..
1) Read the text;
2) Depart from the text;
3) Never return to the text.
Very Sad.
If your pastor still preachers the Word, you should thank God for him!
If your church responds with more “amens” over comments on vaccine mandates, gas prices and Biden than it does souls saved, baptized and our serious need for a move of God… your church needs to refocus and be revived.
My dad preached a funeral Saturday at his church and 8 adults received Christ. He immediately dealt with them about baptism and 4 of them got baptized at the funeral.
What a heritage that has been passed down to me. He has faithfully pastored for 37 years.
If you trying to grow your church through special days, special speakers and special musicians, it will not last.
God will build His church through the faithfulness of Bible preaching and consistent prayer.
Bible preaching > Hype
Truth be told.. we may be preaching to more people than we have ever preached to in our lifetime.
Let's pray that God will take this crisis and use it to bring many to Jesus!!
Had a huge air conditioning unit go out at the church this week and was a $9,500 cost... that is a big expense for us.
Today a lady in the community brought a donation check in for our church for $9,500 dollars.
God already knew the need and answered my prayer.
Our Country needs Jesus.
Our Families need Jesus.
Our Churches need Jesus.
Our Youth need Jesus.
Jesus is the Name the world hates the most but needs the most.
Please pray for a young man by the name of Brian Waddell. He plays football with my son at Woodruff High School. Tonight he collapsed in the game and was unresponsive for a long time.. he is being transported to an area hospital! Please PRAY AND SHARE!
This lady said she had driven by our Tomb display 3 times and finally decided to stop and talk to us.
Standing in the most miserable weather I can ever remember, she prayed and ask Jesus to save her soul.
Welcome Kat into the family of God!
Thank you all for praying for my daughter, Peyton.
Yesterday was the first day without headaches and dizziness since her severe concussion last Friday night in a soccer game.
I believe she is on the road to full recovery in the next few weeks.
God bless.
Don’t try to convince me that drinking alcohol is “ok”.
I wish you could hear my phone, read my text and see the lives that it has destroyed.
It is not ok. It is something we should avoid.
Period.
I will never forget today.
A man came to Jesus this morning. We had visitors and great worship!
Even the news reporter was crying and said she will be back next week! Our building was PACKED!
To God be all the Glory! God is faithful! 🙌🏻

Since our church started in-person services in June we have had many families keep visiting our church services. The
#1
reason is they are seeking a Bible preaching church.
One man said this morning..“I am tired of a watered down pep talk with a few stories.”
Preach the Word.
Pastor,
God is not confined to a certain time or era in American culture. He is timeless. His Word never changes.
If your church's worship is different than mine but you're preaching the Word... I am for you.
If your Pastor dresses up or decides to keep it causal but
In case anybody was wondering.. I kinda like my beard and have a couple of jeeps that I have been known to take a selfie or two with both of them..

Howard (26) approached me about my Jeep at the gas pumps… I gave him my Jeep tract and preached the gospel to Him for a few minutes.
Howard believed the Gospel and is now Saved!
Thank you Jesus!
I feel I would be a better assistant pastor now having pastored for a while. I would be more conscience of my pastor’s needs and desires. I would pray for him more fervently.
If you are an assistant.. don’t be waiting for your next “big” move to come one day..you are in it now.
I think it is time that churches get back to soulwinning and discipleship ASAP.
People need to hear about the One who can bring peace into their lives.
Why can’t friends remain friends even if they disagree on stuff? (Ministry methods, political involvement, preferences, opinions..)
Proverbs 27:17 “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”
For every one ministry leader that has abused power and taken advantage of people..there are hundreds and hundreds that have remained faithful to God, their family and His Church.
Let’s not 'lump' everyone together because of some crazies...we should all strive to finish well.
The two ladies, Marianne (21) and Angie (18), came to me in the lobby, after the service, asking some questions about the message.
We then began discussing the Gospel and I ask them if they had ever believed the Gospel for salvation.. they both responded that they had not.
My son, Jake, turns the big 15 years old tomorrow!
My dad promised him this truck when he was just a toddler.. TODAY IS THE DAY WE BROUGHT HER HOME!
He will be stoked. 🔥🔥

Church attendance was down.
Sickness in my family.
Leaders that were sick and out of town.
But an adult first time visitor received Christ as Saviour!
Another young adult joined our church!
5 new families in our membership class!
A GREAT DAY!
Tough day.
Very thankful for all the text, calls, messages the last couple days. God’s people are the best.
I have a great God and a beautiful wife that gave birth to 3 precious children and now 1 in heaven.

A couple of our men went canvassing this morning and left a door hanger in a door in the community. A man came home and read it, he then called the church and ask if he could speak to someone about Jesus.
This man drove to the church to meet with one of our staff guys and
One day.. every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!
There will be no false accusations and no finger pointing. No Republicans. No Democrats.
Jesus is that name that is above every name. 🙌🏻
I want to welcome some new twitter followers.
Please understand that my twitter feed will not be used to tear down another brother or sister in Christ no matter what is said by someone about me.
I want to honor the Lord by example in loving my family and pastoring my church.
On his deathbed at age 52, Matthew Henry, whose commentary on the whole Bible is still widely used almost 300 years later, said to a friend,
“You have been used to take notice of the sayings of dying men—this is mine: that a life spent in the service of God and communion with
Last March I was privileged to see the the Garden Tomb in the Holy Land.
My favorite place by far was the place that my Saviour was buried.. it looked very sad and gloomy on the first and second day but on the third day, He got up from the grave! Praise the Lord! He is Risen!
When good people leave your church
Do not criticize their decision.
Pray for them.
Don’t gossip about them.
Don’t post things about them.
Do not avoid them when you see them.
Remember all the good they did.
Reach out when they are in need.
Be sincere.
Be kind.
Leave door open.
Pray for my daughter, Peyton. Yesterday afternoon she lost a school friend in a car accident. She was only 15 years old. Her mother also passed away and the dad and other friend is in the hospital.
Please pray for the Sloan family.
Walked in our church today to find some of our young adults praying for tomorrow’s services.
This is the key to God’s blessings.
All is vain unless the Spirit of the Holy One comes down.
