Unoffered Prayers
I think it was FB Meyer who said the greatest tragedy when it comes to prayer isn’t unanswered prayer. The greatest tragedy is unoffered prayer. I’m more and more convinced that prayer is the best and highest use of our spiritual energy. We certainly need to work like it depends on us, but it’s the “pray like it depends on God” part that makes all the difference in the world.
It’s all about the power of a single prayer. It can change anything. It can change everything. I think the next year of our lives should be dedicated to personally practicing and teaching people how to pray for their goals, their families, their jobs, and most importantly, the promises of God.

All for the Lord
Today I had an awesome day of just letting God use my life. Here are some of the highlights.
Got up early and had my morning cup(s)of coffee while watching Fox and Friends. I love that early news show and I love how coffee kicks me into gear early. I went over my note for todays messages.
I got to church early and got things ready for the day. Did some last minute things to get the building ready(the day will come when someone steps up to take that job from me, but until then what an honor to make sure things are ready.
I was able to help Pastor Herbert Halbeisen of the Exchange Church today. Brother Jon was ministering at a youth camp so I helped lead praise and worship. I love leading praise. Pastor Herbert was on call all week while at the same time working 8-5 and then preaching Friday night to a youth camp in Buda, Texas so I felt honored to fill in for him today and preach the morning message. I preached on leadership princples found in 2 Kings 6:1-8. Very awesome new church with great people.
Before the service started at the Springs Sister Debbie informed me I would be playing the drums for worship. Wow! that was a nice challenge for me and the people who had to listen to it. Literally I was making a joyful noise unto the Lord.
I brought the message Transformation bring Transparecy and God really spoke to all of us. We had a great altar call.
After Service we had our monthly dream session and it was great to see the cooperation from our partners. We had another round of gifts come in for our worship center expansion.
After service we went to lunch with Elder Paul Taylor and family. We had great fellowship. I think I found someone who like chips and salsa more than me.
Came home and caught the interview that we did with the Nehemiah Initative called Urban Missionaries.
So glad that I live i America. Thankful for my family and friends. Thanks to all the comments made on facebook about todays sermon.
Well its time to kickback and enjoy the rest of the Lords day. God Bless.
