Who Is God...

During my last trip to Memphis, I attended the Sunday morning service at Kirby Woods Baptist Church. I did a church search on the Southern Baptist Convention website and after reviewing the KWBC website, I felt like it would be a good place to worship.

I wasn't sure what to expect but when the pastor prayed the opening prayer and said "I pray that if there is one here that doesn't know you that they would be convicted of their sins and turn from them and put their trust in Christ", I knew it was going to be a wonderful service.

Rev. Jim Collier preached a message titled "Who Is God?" This was his opening statement:

"There are many different concepts of who God is all around us. We hear different things on the radio and see things on the tv and we read things in the newspaper and we hear things like well as long as we all believe sincerely it doesn’t matter what we call God. And we hear things like as long as we just love one another then we’ll honor God and we’ll all eventually get to where we’re going as long as we do what we think is right. Friends I want you to understand that while that might be nice and while that might be generous it’s not biblical and so we need to see what God’s word says."

I won't spoil the rest of it for you but please take the opportunity to listen to this sermon. I promise you won't be disappointed. It is directly from God's word and teaches repentance and faith in Christ. Click here to listen to this message in it's entirety. I pray that you will be as blessed as I was.

In Loving Memory...

In Loving Memory of my daughter

Precious Babies...

A precious baby ten weeks old,
was called to heaven by our Lord.
Young parents, so brokenhearted,
grieve the loss of child departed.

Friends and loved ones rallied round.
Love, support and grace abound.
Yet still 'tis sad to see them mourn
their precious baby girl is gone.

A tiny baby safe and warm in mother's
womb and still unborn.
Life was ended by mother's choice,
tiny baby had no voice.

'Tis sadder still when life unborn
by choice is ended and no parents
mourn.

Deeper Conference 2008...UPDATED

For me, the Deeper Conference was filled with moments of excitement, peace , conviction, soul searching, worship, enlightenment, and pure joy just to name a few. I am in the process of writing about the experience and what I took away from it but there is so much to tell. So stay tuned for part two coming soon!




Another highlight to the conference was the fellowship we had with other attendees. This man was behind us in line for dinner on Friday night. I never got his name but he was so kind and we thoroughly enjoyed talking to him. He is from Canada and had driven 16 hours by himself to attend the conference. He works for a radio program called Cross Currents. He also gave us a copy of the canadian version of the million dollar bill.



This is the Gene and Melba Harris. They were sitting on the row in front of us and during one the breaks Gene came up and introduced himself to us. They are members of First Baptist Woodstock but it turns out that he was born and raised in our neck of the woods in Fort Oglethorpe. We chatted during the breaks and he even got our address so that he could send us some tapes of Johnny Hunt's sermons. We had asked them if Johnny Hunt always preached like he did at Deeper and they said oh yeah...he was even holding back today.


This is Terri...she was in front of us in the line for Ray and Kirk's book signing. We started talking and she told me that she used to be a Mormon but got saved after she started listening to WOTMR.


This is Clint...he was behind us in the line for Ray and Kirk's book signing. He started talking to us and asked us if we had been enjoying the conference. He is from Virginia and was so excited to be there.
