Our church is Antioch Fellowship Baptist Church. My pastor is a man of God whom I respect greatly. We just celebrated his fifth year of ministry with Antioch. Though I am Reformed and he is not, our fellowship is wonderful and our work together is worthwhile. Praise God for His bringing my family into this church.
I was called by my pastor to lead the Mid-Week service again. I did not have much prep-time. I decided to have a Bible Study Quiz. I had a decent 10 question quiz with Scripture references. As the service started, we sang "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms." It was cool. Hymn number 211 in the National Baptist Hymnal I think.
Then I called on one of the men in the church to pray. Good stuff there. Next we sang "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." Not sure of that hymn number. Then I took prayer requests. There were a large mix of Prayer Requests and Praise Reports.
Then we sang another hymn. 244 I think. "Just over in the Gloryland." All four verses. I wished there were eight. God just filled my soul with peace and joy. As we were nearing the end of the song I realized God was leading me elsewhere.
We turned to Acts 8.4-8. And I preached. I was excited and felt the passion for God's Word and the zeal to be obedient to His direction. I preached without notes or preparation. This is not a testimony of my abilities. I am not that able. It was God working through me. Unfortunately, this means there is no customary outline. Fortunately, it also means that I ministered in a way I know was by the leading of God.
I praise God for His guidance. I thank Him for His Word. I thank Him for my pastor, a man who trusts me enough to allow me to fill his place of ministry when he is absent.
Scary, eh? Obama has no clue. He is about as bright as an egg plant. Cut defense? Does he really trust Vladimir's Pootin' to disarm his nuclear arsenal? He is joking, right? Maybe Barack Hussein Obama does want God to Damn America like his pastor does. Only thing is that Obama will have the power to make that happen if he is elected president. God forbid. As I said before, Barack Hussein Obama may well be the last president of the United States if he is elected.
