IT'S COMING...

For those of you who follow my blogs, I will begin posting again soon...actually, in a couple of hours! I will try to write short blogs 3-5 times each week rather than one HUGE one once every month (or longer!).

See you in a couple of hours!!!

MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER

I have been touched recently as I have read a couple of blogs my daughter Alyssa has posted. She is 11 years old and never ceases to amaze me. I want to share with you 2 short blogs she recently wrote:

WHY NOT START

Hey! We'll I want to start spreading the Gospel! …

FRENZY IN LOS ANGELES

I flew into Los Angeles this morning with a young man from my team, Micah Mixon. Micah is a tremendous dancer and a wonderful son in the Lord. He was one of the men who moved with us to NYC in the beginning. We will be ministering here over the next few days and we …

LATE-NIGHT RAMBLINGS

Hello everybody (or rather, those who actually read these blogs of mine)! Now before I begin my rambling, let me give those of you who have no clue of what a rambling really means a little definition. "Rambling - To talk or write at length in a confused or …

ROCK STARS

I came across this article tonight by the late Keith Green. I first read it over 15 years ago as a young Christian. It helped to fuel a fire in me to live a life of complete obedience to the Lord. Though this article is geared towards musicians, I find it extremely …

CAN'T STOP THINKING BOUT REVIVAL

Tonight I have been remembering so many wonderful moments in ministry. Over 10 years ago Becky and I began serving as youth pastors at our home Church in Arkansas, pastored by Paul David Troquille whom our son is named after.
In the summer of 1997 crazy things began …

RUT, ROT, OR REVIVAL

I actually started writing a blog tonight titled "HIGHWAY TO HELL" and found my writing quickly going a different direction. Perhaps this blog tonight is like sugar that helps the medicine go down. I will post the other one in a couple of days. I feel this writing is …

REDISCOVERING MY IDENTITY

REDISCOVERING MY IDENTITY
This blog comes out of a tremendous sense of gratitude and passion. In June of 2006 we made a journey from a place of comfort and security to a place of the complete unknown. Several made the journey with us to support us in this seemingly …

FELLOWSHIP OF THE UNASHAMED

I retuned a couple of days ago from Baton Rouge where I attended the most incredible conference ever, "Remnant". It was held at Bethany and hosted by Pastor Larry Stockstill. It was absolutely powerful and refreshing.

I was encouraged and inspired as I watched …

A LOT OF NEWS!

Hello! I have been determined to get a blog out before January ended. The weeks and days keep going by sooo fast! It really is true how time flies when you're having fun!

Today was a special day as I took my youngest daughter Hannah (3 and turning 4 in less than 3 …

UPDATES AND LOVING JESUS

HELLO!!! As usual, I am CONSISTENT at not being consistent with this blog!!! First I want to give you a few updates!

Part I

We just moved into a BEAUTIFUL home and Becky and the kids are so EXCITED!!! Paul has his own room in our basement (a.ka. "THE MAN ROOM") …

WOW!

Hello everybody! I am so excited right now! Last night was one of our most powerful church services in the City. From the beginning of worship to the end of the altar call, it was just AWESOME! I began a series last night on OVERCOMING IMPOSSIBILITIES and as I was …

HALF AND HALF

This past month I had the joy of celebrating 17 years as a child of God. This now marks half of my life that I have been serving Him. It really seems like yesterday my best friend Conrad and I were driving that 25 miles of country road to get to church in Arkansas, …

UNITY IN DEATH VALLEY

Last week was one of the most productive weeks of our ministry. Strategizing with our team, setting new goals, making important phone calls, ministering to an awesome youth group at Metro, preaching at our church in Manhattan...AND taking my children to the park, …

THE VALLEY

The Valley

I'm not at all going to pretend to be deep in this blog. To keep it simple, I have been reading over Ezekiel 37, which is probably one of the most preached passages of scripture in the Bible. It is the story of the hand of the Lord coming upon the …

BLOG!

Hey everybody! Sorry for the looong delay (again). I have been extremely BUSY the last few weeks. I ministered in Oregon for the first time a couple of weeks ago at a WONDERFUL church pastored by Steve Schmelzer. He has such a heart for this generation. His …

BACK AGAIN!

Hey everybody! Sorry for the LONG delay on my blog writing! I have been quite busy over the last couple of weeks. I just returned from Houston where I ministered at a WILD church pastored by a great man, Pastor G.F. Watkins. I ministered Saturday night out of …

FOR THE TEAM

Occasionally, I get the wonderful opportunity to write an article like I did the other night; Harry Potter, Humanism, and Radical Christianity. You never really know how people are going to respond. It's amazing to me the lack of discernment and spiritual blindness in …

Harry Potter, Humanism, and Radical Christianity

II Timothy 4:3&4 (NLT) For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and …

EXCITING UPDATE!

Hello everybody!

If you've read my bio, you know that I am in a unique position. In addition to planting and pastoring a church in Lower Manhattan (which is going AWESOME - I'll update you soon!) I am Pastor Bill Wilson's youth pastor! Tomorrow morning I will be …
