Camp Meeting

What a week! I had the great joy of attending a "Gospel Preacher's Camp Meeting" this week at Victory Baptist Church. Bro. Chet Cooper gathered some great preachers & singers. I was so moved by the singing & it ministered to me in a way that kind of took me by surprise to be honest. The preaching was so clear & to the point. There was a variety of styles & subjects but all were God honoring & stirring to my soul. One message was on the Blood & it was such a powerful reminder of God's provision. Another series of messages was on the Holy Spirit. Again, a bulls-eye for me.
God used this week to put me under His microscope & did I ever need it. My heart has been softened through God's Word & God honoring music & a small Baptist Church that reached out to this pastor for no other reason than that they love Jesus.
I made some new friends & I was actually sad...very sad to have to say good bye to brother Billy Sampson, Rick Gilley, & Ken Trivette tonight. I do hope to see these brothers again before heaven.
I wasn't sure about going this week to the meetings but I am so glad I did. Zack went with me each day & we both were blessed. I was blessed to see him blessed.
I guess I didn't realize how empty I was & how much I needed to sit under the live preaching of the God's Word.
Thank you Lord Jesus for Chet Cooper & Victory Baptist Church and something called a Gospel Preacher's Camp Meeting.

Is it supposed to do this in Georgia?


Here's your sign!


Snow Kissed Magnolia Blossoms


I love the snow building up on the words of the sign

  • Let it snow!!!
  • Funny how the snow stopped during the Q&A time and started when we finished
  • Elizabeth's "Holy Cow" cake was amazing
  • Before Christ we chased sin
  • After Christ sin chases us
  • There is no such thing as Justification without Sanctification
  • Cherie's Peanut butter Oreo truffles were a real treat
  • Question #4 'What is God' (you may need to know the answer...I believe there will be a test)
  • Consistent Behavior reveals Kingdom Citizenship
  • Ephesians 5:5 gives 3 lifestyles that reveal your Citizenship

  • Jean Pohl & Melissa Duncan have that glow about them
  • The worship was great today...even the babies loved it
  • Zack & Josiah need to do their duet in church soon - excellent!
  • Give me your day-timer & your check book & I'll give you your god
  • The snow just changes everything
  • Though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow!
  • The opposite of Christianity is not Atheism...it's Idolatry
  • You can't have your Savior & your Sin living in the same heart
  • There is no tension between the Security of the Believer & the Perseverance of the Saints
  • We have divorced Sanctification from Salvation
  • Great food today!
  • The Church is getting a new roof this week...weather permitting
  • Grace is to be Triumphed in not Trampled upon
  • Great Encouragement from the Body of Christ today
